Speaker 1 (00:00):
California's work policies are burning it to the ground. Kamala
has a very very bad day, and President Trump asks,
how does the Gulf of America sound. It's been a
very emotional week according to our Did they really just
say about moments?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker, this is news. Bye?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Do you oh citizens? And apology for being absent while
their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire
department budget by millions of dollars?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Out of there?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while
this was unfolding? Back home?

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Dollar want He's a good note. My son lives out
here and his wife, thank god that larification. Yesterday their
home was probably burning the round today it appears that
maybe still standing.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
We're not sure.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
The votes for President of the United States are as follows.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Donald J.

Speaker 6 (00:58):
Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred
and twelve votes. Kamala de Harris of the state of
California has received two hundred and twenty six votes.

Speaker 7 (01:08):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful rider.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
He does have a golf America America. How about the
instead of the Great Lakes, we could have the American Lakes.
There's a lot of stuff we could rename America really.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, you know, I understand. You know, here's the big question.
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
It was Donald Trump gave a press conference and he
made a lot of really interesting statements during it. And
the big question that I have is was he serious
or is he trolled?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
That's what I was thinking too, because I get it, right,
I mean, Donald Trump certainly has no problem of being
a lightning rod. No, but but yeah, it's almost like.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
He's saying, here, let me say something outrageous and keep
you busy while I go over here and do this.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
It's almost like sarcasm on steroids. I think, if it
really is, I mean, maybe he serious, but it I
mean not with everything. I mean, he's got to be
poking the bear a little bit, right, I think so.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
And the cut you heard in the intro was was
one of my more favorite one of my more favorite cuts,
where he's basically talking about renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
That's one oh five.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a
beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf
of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate,
by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I agree. But here's the thing before you do that.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
By the way, so Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schuber heard that,
and even Chuck Schumer, he was on the floor saying okay,
couldn't help himself but laugh during this.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
This is cut twenty five.

Speaker 8 (02:52):
I want to make a few brief brief comment about
the President elects press conference yesterday. Donald Trump throws had
a lot of strange and rather random ideas on a
regular basis. He did it yesterday when suggesting we renamed
the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Well, let

(03:12):
me say this, I'd agreed working with Donald Trump on
renaming the Gulf of Mexico only if he first agrees
to work with us on an actual plan to lower
costs for Americans. That's what the American people want us
to focus on first.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, And why do they want us to focus on
it first?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Because you and your party have driven costs up over
the past four years, So it's not like Donald Trump
is not out there actively trying to lower cost.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
So okay, I'd like to.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
See Chuck Schumer signing off on the Gulf of America.
I think the bigger issue is not Chuck Schumer support,
is probably you know, Mexico support on that one.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
But I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
What we want. I mean, things were named uh and
I don't know when exactly the Gulf of Mexico became
the quote unquote Gulf of Mexico. Things are for various reasons, right,
so I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Know who who surrounded by Mexico.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Mexico Is, Texas and other places.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
So yeah, I'm good with golf. I don't really care.
I'm good either way if it makes President Trump happy.
I'm happy with it about the Trump golf. No Trump
see that.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I don't think we should be doing that. I think
is going a little too far. But that I can
see President Trump suggesting that.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
You know what, you know how sometimes with words or phrases,
people use them enough that they enter the lexicon and
they get put into the dictionary or whatever the case.
So if everybody listen, we don't need an Act of
Congress or anybody else.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
We can just do it.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Everybody just start calling it the Gulf of America and
eventually might be the year yeah, and it'll be like that.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I think you got to get a few map makers
on board for this. I think that will work.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Is it? One are the cryptographers? Is that what they
call map makers?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Those are the ones who actually draw the maps?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, yeah, cryptographers, but you know whoever is actually putting
it out there, Ryan McDonald.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Or just you know, listen, if you have a kid
in school, just have them go with a magic marker
into the library at school right now and change all
the atlases to say Golf of America.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
How many times do you think that's probably happened in
this past week. If I was in high school, I
would have done it. And I'm pretty sure it has
occurred to others too. So I'm thinking that there are
a few vandalized maps and atlases and school libraries across
the country.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Of course, if you live down there, I know people
live in orw and nearer on the Gulf of Mexico.
A lot of people down there don't even call it
the Golf of Mexican. They just say the golf, the golf,
the golf, like the oils fill in the golf. There
was this in the golf, so let's just call it golf.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, that's not.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
The only outrageous statement that he made, nor is it
the only statement he made about reconfiguring maps. He also
had this to say about Canada. Cut one ten who
work under the assumption.

Speaker 9 (05:51):
That you're serious about making Canada fifty first state of
the United States. The leader of the Conservative Party in
Canada said, under no circumstance.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
Earlier, maybe he won't win, but maybe he will. I
don't suggest, listen, I don't care.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
You're considering military force to acquire Panama in Greenland?

Speaker 9 (06:11):
Are you also considering a military force to.

Speaker 7 (06:14):
Annex an acquire no economic force, because Canada and the
United States, that would really be something you get rid
of that artificially drawn line and you take a look
at what that looks like, and it would also be
much better for nancial security. You don't forget. We basically
protect Canada. But here's the problem with Canada. So many

(06:36):
friends up there. I love the Canadian people, they're great,
but we're spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it.
We're spending hundreds of billions a year to take care
of Canada.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, so we're not going to invade Canada with military power,
but we might consider.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Bribing them, you know, basically, what do you saying?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
By the way, I would be happy if they would
just go back to the way it used to be
and you didn't need a passport to go to Canada.
Could we do that? Can we start with that, just
just go back to where they're like state, Well, yeah,
because you used to just be able to cross the border.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, I agree with you, and I do that.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I can remember growing up and especially in school, we
used to head off up to Canada, like to Quebec
from Montreal for like in October, you know, like a
for Columbus Day weekend when it was beautiful foliage and all.
We would drive up and spend the weekend and come back.
And you just need your driver's license, and now you
need a passport or that funky little mini passport which
is a.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Real or not real ID.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
But there's a funny anyone that's that's good between Mexico
and Canada for as long as you're on the continent,
it's good for you. But so it's it's it's a riot.
But you know, fifty first date Canada.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
I thought I thought we were going to do that
with Washington, d C. And Puerto Rico.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
First they don't want to they don't they well apparently,
but but we care more about Puerto Rico and DC,
and they didn't want They didn't want to become states
because they get more money as as territories, so they're
more happy, they're happy life. That which brings up what
he said when they you know, so he's not going
to invade Canada, but he might invade Greenland and the

(08:11):
Panama Canal area cut one hundred.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Can you assure the world that as you try to
get control of these areas, you are not going to
use military or economic coercion. No, can you tell us
a little bit about what your plan is. Are you
going to negotiate a new treaty? Are you going to
ask the Canadians to hold the vote?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
What is the strategy?

Speaker 7 (08:36):
I can't assure you. You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No,
I can't assure you on either of those two. But
I can say this, we need them for economic security.
The Panama Canal was built for our military. I'm not
going to commit to that now. It might it might
be that you'll have to do something. Look, the Panama

(08:57):
Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated by China. China,
and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama. We didn't
give it to China, and they've abused it. They've abused
that gift that should.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Have never been made.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
By the way, giving the Panama Canal is why Jimmy
Carter lost the election in my opinion, more so maybe
than the hostages.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, so we might invade Greenland and Panama, we're not
knocking it out. I happen to agree with them that
the worst thing Jimmy Carter did besides the Iranian hostage
crisis was in fact giving the canal for a dollar
to Panama without you know, and they violent the treaty
by giving it to Canada to giving it to China.
So I'm down there with they were supposed to you know,

(09:39):
it should have been in that treaty that they can
have it, except they don't charge us because we built it.
It was our blood and treasure that went into building
the Panama Canal. So I think you should give it
to them, but we don't ever have to pay basically
based on you can charge everybody else, so you don't
get to give it.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Aw of America.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Can we have it that I like the canal of.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
America now of America.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
You know, and then and then we've got, you know, Greenland.
So it's like and here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Greenland is not against it about becoming part of a
territory of the United States. Here's a citizen of Greenland
speaking to a filmmaker says he's okay with this cut seventeen.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
By Greenland, Greenland?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Why do you want Trump to buy Greenland?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
And we don't want to be lost by Danish government anymore.

Speaker 9 (10:21):
We get ripped it every year about all minerals from
Premland were.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
The Ritish nation in the world, and we don't get
to use it. Then much use in us too much?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Do you like America?

Speaker 4 (10:31):
I love America? But people all too if I'm over there.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay, So there's one man's opinion at least, but it
seems to be a general consentus. And the funny thing
is after President Trump said maybe we'll buy Greenland, Greenland
decided to become make a movement now to become independent
from Denmark, which would leave them open to be able
to negotiate with.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The United States, whether to join US or not. So
I find that interesting.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
By the way, whether Trump is completely serious, not serious,
someone in between who know it is not relevant. But
you know, you kind of sit around here, you go,
all right, so if we got Greenland, now are we
buying Greenland or taking them over? Are they going to
become a territory or a state? I mean, there's a
lot of moving parts.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
What they're looking at, too, is how we've dealt with Alaska,
which is you know that, for instance, Alaska, everybody gets
free healthcare and they also get a stipend every year
of a few thousand dollars every person in Alaska Alaska
because they live in Alaska.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
No, that's not why. Because they have oil in Alaska
and they share in that.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
And that's what Greenland is looking at, going look at
how they dealt with Alaska. They could we do the
same thing for Greenland. That's why they want to be
part of US and not necessarily part of Denmark. But okay,
But the fascinating thing about all of this is that
Donald Trump says, and I saw this on TikTok and
I thought, this is a brilliant way to put it.
Donald Trump makes these outrageous statements that and and proposes things.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
That you never thought of in your life.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
But when he proposes it, you realize you really want it,
but you would never have occurred to you. And he
puts the sea there, like, yes, that's a great idea,
but it would never have occurred to you otherwise.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Like like, like or hate Donald Trump doesn't matter, love
or hate him. The one thing he's done here is
he certainly has got people talking again. Whether he's serious
or not is moot. Everybody's just chatting about it.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
And I think it's a troll.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think, to be honest with you, I think there's
a germ of everything and everything he says, but I
think generally it's to give Schumer and his friends here
focus on that.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I'm gonna go deport people. I think that's what's going
on here. But that's just that's just my vie.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
He's doing like a magician thing right now. Look at
this hand, Look at this hand. This going on over here, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
That's exactly. I think that's what But who knows. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Nobody.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Nobody as far as I know, has ever and this
includes his ex wives, his current wife, and his children
have ever been able to guess.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think what Donald Trump is going.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
To do next, So who knows but it And oddly enough,
it was really funny watching him strut of stuff, control
the media and US or whatever he's doing.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
While at the.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Same time, this week, Kamala Harris, his former opponent, had a.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Really, really, really bad week because it was's constitutional job
this week to certify her loss of the election.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
She's the vice president, the current sitting vice president of
the United States, and constitutionally her job is to certify
the election. So she had to get up on the
Senate floor for a good what hour and a half
two hours and take each state's electoral College votes, read
them into the record, and this is what she came

(13:47):
up with, cut eleven.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
The votes for President of the United States are as follows.
Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received
three hundred and twelve votes. Kamala D. Harris Kamala D.
Harris of the state of California has received two hundred

(14:09):
and twenty six votes.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And then she had to sum it up cut eleven B.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
This announcement of the state of the vote by the
President of the Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration
of the persons elected President and Vice President of the
United States, each for a term beginning on the twentieth
day of January two thousand and twenty five, and shall

(14:43):
be entered together with the list of the votes, on
the journals of the House and the Senate.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Thank you very much, Thank you release that she had
to read that that was a mouthful of garbage. By
the way, I mean, nobody knows what she said. Here's
the thing, while they were counting the votes, while the
votes were coming in. I don't know if you've ever
if you're into sports, you know, sometimes you watch a
game that your team lost years ago when you're watching
it and you're going, man, if they had just done this,

(15:12):
then maybe they'd win. You think you think she was
ever sitting there by while they were counting the votes,
going maybe I can win this time? You think they can?

Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think, to be honest with you, I think, hearing
what we heard during the whole campaign process, I think
what she was thinking was how stupid are the American people?
Because that's how she treated us, That's how her whole
campaign treated us, how her whole party treated us during
the election and that's why they lost that.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
And she was thinking that and.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Freaking Joe Biden, Yeah, trick and Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Well, I mean look in fairness, and I don't know
how everything would have played out. I mean you can
you could second guess everything till the end of the world.
But if if Joe had backed out a little earlier
and even more time, and they had had a real,
you know, fight for for the for the.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
She'd run is primary and not you know, Swanden and
stolen the primary votes.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
From him, which it's exactly what the way.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
And they're hard feelings, by the way, did you see
them at Jimmy Carter's funeral? God rest his soul one
hundred years old past finally I know his afternoon drive.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Guy, you've been waiting and waiting for hold.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
That makes me sound like you haven't.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Been hoping for his death, but you've been like, when
is that she's.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Going to die?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I mean that the last picture we saw of him,
it was painful.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's like, somebody, please help that man.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
So it's it's like, you know, but in any event,
at the funeral, the Bidens had nothing to do with
Kamala Harris or her husband, and behind her are sitting
Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, they're like two.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Frat brothers chatting away, haven't And she's like leaning back,
trying to listen and not looking happy.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
So it was Kamala is on the ass.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, I don't wish her ill, but I don't
see where she goes from here. To be honest with you,
she's talking about running for governor of caliph.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
No, she's not. I mean, she she'll get something. She
may even go on a speaking tour and make of that.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's what she's gonna do, because if somebody will pay her.
But speaking, can you imagine her as governor of California.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
She's got to do.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
To be honest with you, that would be like California
jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I know a lot of people literally literally.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Right Yeah, I know, Gavin Newsom's taking a lot of
flat from people, and rightfully so. But here's the thing.
If you think of all the fifty states and do
this yourself at home later, California would be like the
last state I'd want to be governor of anyway, Well, not.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
At this point in time.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh my god, and that brings us the fact that
neither of these stories, Donald Trump's you know, trolling presser,
or the certification election were the biggest story this week,
even though they would have been by any rights any
other week probably.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
The biggest stories.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
That's because California's on fire and Governor Newsom has this
is now. This is the question I this is my opinion,
part of the reason why these California wildfires, which are
dangerous at any given time and cause damage at any
given time every year, but they've taken on apocalyptic proportion

(18:13):
in my opinion, because of years of DEI appointments and
woke officeholders who were not concerned with competency as much
as they were checking off boxes on an EEO Equal
Opportunity Employment of.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Sheet.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
So what's happened is they have viscerated the fire department
financially and with personnel. They've put people of who are
not competent in charge of both because they were of
some form of minority hiring, whether.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's sexual, equitable, equitable.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
And there's no water why because under their green policies
they dumped the water into the ocean to protect a
herring of some kind or ardine. I don't know a smelt.
I happen to like smelts.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Too, but still not to mention that the mayor.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Of Los Angeles, which is the worst hit city in
these fires, was away in Africa on a junket and
didn't come home right away either, even though she knew
that the possibility of these wildfires was coming. They knew
in advance, They admitted that, so they were prepositioned some stuff.
But it was horrible and eventually it got so bad

(19:30):
that she had to come home. And you heard this
in the open. This is a Sky News reporter. So
Europe has focused on this too. Met her at the
airport and peppered her with these questions.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Cut ten a, 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 dovers mountain mare?
Have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing
to say to the citizens today? Elon Mosk says that

(20:06):
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

(20:28):
you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this
was unfolding back home, So.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
She's running as fast as her fee can carry away
from this reporter. And then eventually after she meets with
her staff, and she had like, it's a seventeen hour
flight from Ghana, so she had time to go over step.
You don't think she thought for a second, maybe there'll
be reporters at the airport and I better have my
responses already. No, but she did have a press conference.
But this is going to show you how another bad

(20:54):
showing she's made bad showing after bad showing. And this
is Karen Bass, mayor Karen Bass reading straight off a
script telling fire victims if they need help in emergency resources,
they can be found at URL.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Cut ten B right now.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
If you need help, emergency information resources and.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Shelter is available.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
All of this can be found at URL.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's like saying if you need help, call this phone
number and not giving the phone number.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Why she just said help can be found at WWW, or.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Can be having at Los Angeles dot com or whatever,
but no, it's URL. So's it's like Biden esk reading
the directions off the screen. Meanwhile, the governor who is
responsible for the snail darter or whatever the hell it
was that has gotten rid of the water, as well
as the fact that he refused to sign on to
a plan that would pump water down from the northern

(21:51):
part of the state the southern part of estate because.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
It's not part of their clean energy plan.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Was confronted by a mother over the lack of water,
and he tries, this is it. He tries to get
out of the conversation with her by pretending he's on
the phone with President Biden, although he has to admit
because the cameras can see his phone, that he has
no cell service, so he's actually not talking to anybody.
Shades of Kamala Harris during the campaign Cut number seven.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
I have to get cell service service. Let's get it.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I want to be here when you call the president.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
I appreciate I'm doing that right now, and it's to
immediately get reimbursements, individual assistance, and to help you on
build a devastating phone. I'm so sorry, especially for your daughter.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
I have four kids, one who went to school there.
They lost their homes.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
They lost two homes because they were living in one
and building another.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Letter.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Please tell me, tell me what are you going to
do with the president.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Right now, we're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Is there no water in the hydrants?

Speaker 4 (22:52):
That's all?

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Literally?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Is it going to be different next time?

Speaker 4 (22:55):
It has to be has to be of course, what.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
Are you going to do?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Build the hydrants? I would fill him up personally, you
know that I would fill up the hundreds myself. But
would you do that?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
I would do whatever I can, But you're not.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I see the do you know there's water dripping over there? Governor,
there's water coming out there.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
You can use it, use that water?

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Meanwhile, so here you have the governor in apt you know,
responsible for the water issue.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You have the mayor who you can't even read a script.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
And then you have President Biden, who gave a very
tone deaf response. He actually cut a fire briefing short
to add this cut one bee.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
It's astounding. What's happening? Only won't use a good news.
My son lives out here and his wife. They got
a terrification there's today they're at home. Was probably burning
the ground today it appears that may be still standing.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
You're not sure.

Speaker 10 (23:51):
But the good news is I'm a great grandfather guys
of today granddaughter, I throw out a baby girl, a
baby boy, so she can't remember this day for a
lot of rock research.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Enough about you talk about me.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Let's be Let's be okay.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Everybody should be okay now because Hunter's rental house is okay.
Although I probably I understand that it actually did burn down,
But I had a I had a grandchild.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Who knows if it's a boy or girl.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So I mean, that's basically what he's saying at a
fire conference.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm surprised. Then, well, I was gonna say, I'm surprised
he didn't, you know, because people have died in this fire, unfortunately,
and people have died that he didn't bring up boat. Yeah,
by the way, I know what it's like to lose.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
And then but here's the thing. He turned into Schecky Green.
He starts joking and it's so off off the so
off the mark that he was. He was turning this
the mic over to Kamala Harris, this is this is
the day after the.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
One you just heard another fire briefing that.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
She looked shocked and gave this very nervous laugh that
she does when she's discombobulated. But it was so bad
that CNN cut away immediately because it's like, what the
hell cut one f.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Man and Vice President.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
I know you're directly affected, so you fire away.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right, as the President throws it to the Vice president.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Fire away no pun intended.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh my god, waitress, that's that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no. There's no water.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
There's absolutely no water going on.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Right, Welcome to Joe Biden's vaudeville show.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, there's no water. And so here's the thing.
So you heard Gavin News and last October Trump was on.
President Trump was on with Joe Rogan and he explained
last October why there was no water. He basically explained
that how Los Angeles, it's going to be a problem.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Cut thirteen B.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Water, you know, and 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.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Could you believe it?

Speaker 7 (26:10):
And I was in the farm Court country where some
of the congressmen were driving up highway and I say,
how come all this land is so barren? It's farmland,
and it looked terrible. It was just brown and bad.
I said, but there's always that little corner that's so.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Green and beautiful.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
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. It's got a natural flow from
Canada all the way up north, more water than they
could have used. And in order to protect a tiny
little fish, the water up north gets routed into the

(26:51):
Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
So that's what Governor Newsom was doing with the water
in a state where wildfires are prevalent. So he's taking
a lot of heat no pun intended case Joe Biden's
term for not having water. So President Biden tried to
come to his defense during the front during the fire
briefing about the water shortage. It's not Newsome's fault. Don't

(27:20):
be silly cut one O four A.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
What I know from talking to the governor that there
are concerns out there that there's also.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
Been a water shortage. The fact is the utilities understandably
shut off power because they are worried the lines that
they carried energy we're going to be blown down and
spark additional fires. But the Cow fire, when it did that,
it cut off the ability to generate pumping the water.

(27:49):
That's what cause the lack of water in these hydrants,
and so cal Fire is bringing in generators to get
these pumps up and working again so that they're no
longer as shortage of water coming out of these hydrants.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Okay, I have two responses to that. First of all,
the power company cutting power has never stopped the water
before from going anywhere. There has to be water in
the system in order for it to be stopped. So
I mean, that's I think the bigger issue one and two.
If the power company is the reason, why then turn

(28:25):
the bleeping power back on. You already have an inferno.
You don't have to worry about sparkling fires in those sections.
Don't wait for goddamn generators turn the power on. But
that's not why.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
There isn't any water.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
There isn't any water because the governor has been shipping
the water out to the Pacific.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
By the way, this water from Canada, that's that Trump
was talking about. That's been going out into the ocean.
We're not going to have this problem when Canada is
our fifty first state.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
We're just gonna have the water float right down. Nobody worry.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
The Canada isn't the one that stopped in the water.
It's California to stop in the water. So the demo
response now to save Newsom is well, it's.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
There's no water shortage.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
This is Melvin Roberts on Fox eleven LA anchors saying,
despite what ad opponents to the mayor, and he lists
the candidate Rick Caruso, who ran against the current mayor
about water firemen not having water for fires. No firemen
have confirmed this. So this is what the Fox LA
anchor is saying, Cut six B.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
Despite what you have heard from Caruso. No firefighters have
told us that they are running out of water.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Now here's the thing nobody said.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Told the reporter, the Fox eleven reporter Gigi Garcetti, on
the ground that that was the storyline. She's actually talking
to people, and guess what, there was no water.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Cut six A.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
It is very emotional.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
These are people's houses, their memories, their belongings. It's very
it's very difficult to see.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
It's very difficult, that is it is for firefighters to
want watch this.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Now you are looking live. It looks like they have.

Speaker 7 (30:03):
A hose in their hands, some of these hoses, and
we're told they're connected to the.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Swimming pool next door. But again, water has been a
huge issue.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Firefighters on the scene confirming that to me here.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, nobody gave the reporter the party line, so she's
actually reporting the news, which is no water.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
So there is no water.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Firefighters are saying there's no water to this Channel eleven,
Fox eleven reporter, Yeah, and Melvin Roberts are saying.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
Despite what you have heard from Caruso, no firefighters have
told us that they are running out of water.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
They did, They told you, Yeah, they did. Hello, Yeah,
that's some mad communications.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
By the way, following in Joe Biden's footsteps with the
little vaudeville humor, so I gotta I gotta thing here,
I think that that Donald Trump may be onto some
So you talk about Canada, right, let's get the water down.
Solves part of the problem. But if you think about it,
Greenland is ice. What's ice made of water? And the

(31:01):
Panama Canal full of water. He's solving the water. Cris
I think he is. I mean, for crying out a
lot of people. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
We got both of them.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think both would not mind being absorbed into you know,
the US.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Get the water. We need the water we melt Greenland And.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Okay, actually Greenland is an Iceland.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
By the way, Greenland doesn't have the like it has
some ice like Iceland. But but yeah, so that's so,
this is what's happening in California. I have family members
in California who are dealing directly with this, you know,
who are fleeing with their animals and their photographs, and
so I understand their pain. And I wish that the
Democrats would stop trying to hide their incompetence, just deal

(31:42):
with the situation, let people help them deal with the situation,
and then good luck to you in the next election,
is what I say to you.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
And I want to go real quickly back to that
governor Knwsom cut where you're talking to that woman about
the water. Look, I'm not I've never been a governor.
I've never been in charge of anything. So take this
for what it's worth as an observer. So he in
that cut, we're gonna rebuild. Okay, fantastic. Could we put
the freaking fires out first? Plan one is not rebuilt.

(32:10):
That's like Plan seventeen. Plan one is people and put
the fires out and then clean up and sweep and
this and that and figure out this and then rebuild.
He's like, we're gonna rebuild. Well, swooped the.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Done, And that's what Biden is saying too. But here's
the thing that I'd like people do. Ask the people
of Lahina how helpful the federal government has been. I
mean they they still I have not rebuilt, so I
don't hold any hopes out.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (32:36):
They say? The most scariest words in the world are
I'm from the government. I'm here to help help.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
So the President is toned after what's going, as you
could tell by his checky green stand up and his
birth announcement during a fire away. But that's not the
only tone deaf moment he had. And this is we
have to end every show with the bidens and while
we still can, which is like, we only have like
seven days to do that. So this is President Biden

(33:04):
giving a He's doing a press conference regarding the Nola
terrorist attack, the New Orleans terrorist attack, which happened on
New Year's Day where a terrorist drove into a crowd,
killing multiple people. And so he's doing he's giving everybody
the latest on that, as he is supposed to do.

(33:26):
You see if you can tell what I'm talking about
when I say tone deaf cut five, and.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
We're seeing that today the Sugar Bowl is back on.

Speaker 9 (33:35):
Kickoff is going to take off very shortly.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
If I don't get this damn thing done, we're gonna
be in real trouble.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
He's more concerned we had this damn thing over, never
mind that there are fifteen people dead in the street
behind him.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
We gotta get we gotta get going because and oh, by.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
The way, I'm a great grandfather. Have you heard.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh my god, oh my god. He is disintegrating so quickly.
He went out and.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yelled at Aron, this is this was a disgusting cut
number two.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Y being the oldest pressident, I know more world leaders
than any one of you ever met in your whole
goddamn wife.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's that's mister, that's mister empathetic and sweet uncle Joe
that thank you God, is not going to is not
going to be sworn in again for another four years.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
He made by the way. He may not be just
tone deaf, he may be going deaf period.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's a good point, YEA.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
So like, what are we gonna what are we gonna
do without him? But then again, how can we miss
if you won't go away?

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I guess well, I think we won't be doing Biden anywhere.
But it looks to me like Donald Trump is going
to keep us busy. You know, he's he's a world
class troller. So we may have Troll of the Week
that might take over for bidenisms.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
We should do, we should start a new segment. We'll
have to start working on this Donald Trump Truth or sarcasm.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yes, I think that's the That's what I'm That's what
I'm talking about, Troll of the Week. Let's see. Do
you think he is serious? A?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You know, because I think I think that's the way
to go, because we're going to miss the bideness.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
There used to be the show Truth or Consequences. This
will be truth or sarcasm.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, truth, truth or truth or troll? Which which truth
or troll? That's what we should call it.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well, if you like our suggestion for a new segment,
you can let us know. You can let Ben and
I know on x at news by three or on
Facebook at news Byte, we upload a new episode every
single Monday, so check back next week and see what new.
