to keep their homes from being destroyed during the latest wildfires. Now,

homeowners an option to have dedicated firefighters protect their homes
for price, and it was a win win. The homeowners
felt safer and the insurers minimize their risk. And these
policies are not just offered to rich homeowners. A lot
of middle class homeowners buy them as well. But the
media narrative is that rich California homeowners, including celebrities, saved

cooperate with the government hired firefighters, all of which misses
the real point in Cali forn You the biggest fire
risk comes from elected liberal Democrats and their radical environmentalist

(01:07):
wacko policies who refuse to manage the forests and get
rid of the kindling. The citizens are realized this, have
wisely taken responsibility and they're paying for it themselves, and
that somehow is not fair
