| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| All right. | |
| Thank you, Scott Channan, and thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Write down our toll-free telephone number. | |
| We have a busy newsday today. | |
| It's 800 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program later on, there were a bunch of Navy SEALs that are out in the freezing cold early in the morning to get into the hearings for Pete Heggs today. | |
| And uh everything I predicted yesterday came to fruition. | |
| Democrats revert to form. | |
| They can't control themselves. | |
| And, you know, petty, nonsensical personal attacks. | |
| Um, but they've got only a limited period of time. | |
| And and and Pete was able to parry away pretty much every attack that they made against him and refused to fall into their traps. | |
| Uh I'll go into specificity and details here in a second. | |
| It's funny. | |
| I did read Kerry Pickett's column in the Washington Times today. | |
| Many many congressional Democrats do not plan to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, uh, but they're not calling it a boycott. | |
| Well, then what would you call it? | |
| Sounds like a boycott. | |
| It looks like a boycott, sounds like a boycott. | |
| Guess what? | |
| It's a boycott. | |
| Anyway, at Trump's first inauguration, more than sixty Democratic lawmakers boycotted the event because they said Trump was an illegitimate, dangerous president. | |
| Eight years later, plenty of House Democrats skipping Donald Trump swearing in at the U.S. Capitol. | |
| Many blame a uh scheduling conflict. | |
| They must be uh having tea time uh somewhere. | |
| Anyway, I think it's kind of just general conflict of logistics, AOC said to the Washington Times about her plan no show. | |
| Uh Manuel Cleaver, Missouri doesn't know if he can make the inauguration, saying the day conflicts with uh MLK Day events at his church. | |
| He told the Times that if he decides he can't make it, it would not be part of a boycott. | |
| Some Democratic lawmakers said they were participating. | |
| The they're using the MLK holiday. | |
| Uh it's also National Championship Day. | |
| Uh squad member Presley of Massachusetts said that she would spend the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. in her district at community events. | |
| Who cares if they come or not? | |
| It doesn't really matter if they come or not. | |
| Um it was, you know, everything that you you you would expect. | |
| I thought Pete himself stayed dialed in and focused. | |
| We'll play some of his responses as the show goes on. | |
| I'm not I'm really not going to spend a lot of time on Democrats because I don't even think they're worthy of our time. | |
| But, you know, they they're just not serious people in these are serious times. | |
| And national security, national defense is critical in my mind. | |
| And what the focus of today should have been about, you know, and they didn't spend a lot of time about. | |
| They spent a lot of time on social issues, women in combat, uh, Pete's personal life, you know, things that have nothing to do with the job. | |
| And I I just I just sit there and I'm like, okay, it's the same old Democratic Party. | |
| They didn't learn a thing from this past election, and they're focused on, you know, DEI. | |
| They're focused on, you know, the the type of politics that you would expect from from Democrats. | |
| And they in the end, they really didn't lay a hand on him. | |
| Identity politics just rules the day for them. | |
| And I think what made it impressive is when Pete did get an opportunity to speak, he talked about the need to rebuild our military and re-establish deterrence and responsibly end these wars, which Donald Trump ran his whole campaign on. | |
| And he talked about how the Department of Defense standards will achieve peace through strength, and how these sta standards will not be equal, will be equal, not equitable, which is very different. | |
| How he's a change agent. | |
| His special interest is the warfighter. | |
| And there was a coordinated effort to smear him by the left-wing media, which was all true, and and that came out during the course of the hearings today. | |
| If you didn't get a chance to watch it all, which I'm sure most of you did not because you were busy, I'll give you a quick summary uh because I was taking notes for the entire hearings. | |
| Roger Whitker of Mississippi gave him a warm welcome as an experienced nominee, well positioned to help meet the challenges of today's Department of Defense and describing his background as a warrior, fighter himself as an asset, not a shortfall, and how he will inject a new warrior ethos into the Pentagon, a spirit that can cascade from the top down. | |
| Now, when I look at our military today, this is me speaking, I see a military that has what exactly what Reagan inherited, and that is a gap of vulnerability. | |
| We have fallen behind. | |
| It has not been the priority. | |
| At one point, I don't remember who it was. | |
| They talked about five billion dollars being spent in in the first year alone on DEI programs within the military, which is insanity. | |
| It came up a number of times, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how that could ever happen. | |
| Um, a lot of Democrats just openly said right from the get-go that Pete Hegseth is not qualified, and then they went on to lecture him. | |
| Norm Coleman gave an impassioned speech in favor of Pete, which I thought was very good. | |
| Uh, the incoming national security advisor, Mike Waltz introduced and endorsed Pete for defense secretary. | |
| Like Pete, I served in the U.S. Army, like Pete, I'm a veteran. | |
| We deployed to Afghanistan all over the world at the height of the war on terror, which is the war of our generation, like thousands of other war fighters. | |
| We witnessed the hardships of war. | |
| We experienced the loss of friends in combat. | |
| We've had to endure too much time away from family and from friends. | |
| And then Pete opened his remarks, you know, about going to work for President Trump and this committee, you know, is to restore that warrior ethic to the Pentagon and throughout our fighting force and re-establish trust in our military and addressing the recruit the recruiting crisis, | |
| the retention crisis, the readiness crisis, what they did to us some members of our military during COVID, people that were choosing to take control of their own bodies and and you know, they wanted to give them at the time dishonorable discharges. | |
| It was insane. | |
| And how the Department of Defense under Trump will achieve peace through strength and pursuing these America First National Security goals and remain patriotically apolitical and strive towards constitutionality. | |
| And as it relates to the orchestrated smear on him, well, that was clear from day one. | |
| And he dealt with all of it. | |
| He dealt with it head on, talked about, yeah, he's he went through rough periods in his life and he changed his life around, gave credit to his conversion and commitment to Christianity and Jesus and and his wife for changing his life around during a tough period in his life. | |
| We're going back a decade now, so we're not talking about anything that was really current in any way. | |
| And then, you know, then the questioning comes in. | |
| You know, and here we go. | |
| Rather than talking about the gap of vulnerability, why does China Russia have hypersonic technology with maneuverability and we don't? | |
| You know, why is it that we've got to rely on the many delivery systems for nuclear weapons as our greatest deterrence? | |
| That that should not be our greatest deterrence. | |
| You know, but not they didn't spend any time talking about Donald Trump's proposal for an iron dome that would protect the entire country, something I would love to see President Trump accomplish because I am very convinced the future wars will not be fought on battlefields, although you will always need people on the ground, intelligence on the ground. | |
| But for the most part, you're not gonna have kids going door to door like they were in Iraq and stepping on IEDs and not having up armored Humvees. | |
| Uh, we can't be fighting wars like that ever again in the future. | |
| If we're gonna liberate other countries, yeah, Donald Trump's right. | |
| We they should pay for their liberation. | |
| We should not have to pay for it with a $37 trillion debt. | |
| And I think that that is the future. | |
| But developing the next generation of warfare is going to cost this country an enormous amount of money. | |
| China has been spending, you know, drastic amounts of money on building up their war machine. | |
| They have shown open hostility, even against American and uh ships in international waterways and and against our Air Force and international airways. | |
| They've shown nothing but hostility flying over our allied Taiwan. | |
| They've talked about their territorial ambitions. | |
| Then, of course, you we want to get it to we would like to see an end to what's going on with Ukraine and Vladimir Putin. | |
| That has to be dealt with. | |
| The Iranians' desire for nuclear weapons, that has to be dealt with. | |
| That's not what the that's not what most of these Democrats wanted to talk about. | |
| And Heggseth was very clear criticizing, you know, DEI policies of today, and how they're dividing troops inside formations, causing commanders to walk on eggshells, not put putting meritocracy at the top. | |
| Anyway, Senator Reed fired back all of your public comments. | |
| Don't talk about meritocracy. | |
| They talk about liberal democratic efforts that are destroying the military, that those people are enemies. | |
| But you know, Senator Shaheen questioned Heg Seth regarding women in the military. | |
| And he's been clear and he clarified this long before these hearings. | |
| And they wasted so much time on this. | |
| He said he'd be honored to serve among all men, women, black, white, all backgrounds, says he's not talking about capabilities of men versus women, but standards for men and women, and that the standards must be high, and the standards have got to be the same for men and women. | |
| And if you meet those standards to serve in the military, then you're in the military. | |
| Period. | |
| End of sentence. | |
| And that wasn't enough. | |
| Then Senator Gillibrand continues the questioning about women in the military. | |
| And Heg says says he'd never criticize women in the military, but calling out, you know, how he has seen standards lowered for women and commanders, and they have quotas which have lowered and disparages women in the military. | |
| And Gillibrand wouldn't back off. | |
| I have many concerns about your record, particularly your public statements, because they're hurtful to the men and women who currently serve in the U.S. military and their morale. | |
| This guy has been he's devoted his entire adult life to serving the military. | |
| This is what he cares about. | |
| And then attack Senator Cotton. | |
| Well, he was giving you layups to differentiate between the different types of combat, specifically as secretary. | |
| Would you take any action to reinstitute the combat arms exclusion for female service members, knowing full well you have hundreds of women doing that job right now, and the standards uh that you know you run a two-minute uh you run your two-mile run is about the army combat fitness test. | |
| And and Hegseth said I respect every single female service member that is put on the uniform, past and present. | |
| My critique, Senator, recently and in the past, and from personal experience, have been instances where I see standards lowered. | |
| And then he talked about that Donald Trump wants to prevent war. | |
| That the best way to prevent war is to have the greatest, meanest, toughest, most advanced military on the face of this earth. | |
| Right now, I would make the argument we don't have that. | |
| They have dropped the ball. | |
| And we saw that in Afghanistan. | |
| And, you know, giving away our strategic petroleum reserves and all these missiles and escalating the conflict in Ukraine the way Joe Biden is, it's just been ridiculous. | |
| But the the chief job would be to deter war, prevent war. | |
| And it was funny you watched Blumenthal, who lied about his service in Vietnam trying to attack Pete over the money management while he was leading a veterans group. | |
| I was kind of laughing at that somewhat. | |
| Tim Kane spent almost all of his time. | |
| Now, this is a bit of an irony here that kind of made me chuckle to myself anyway, because wasn't it the same Tim Kane that ran with Hillary Clinton and he's grilling Pete Heggseth over allegations about his personal life and an allegation that went away after a criminal investigation that never came to fruition based on the evidence in the case that didn't exist in that case? | |
| And I can only guess they picked Kane to pursue that line of questioning because of the familiarity he must have acquired about you know people being accused of rape and cheating husbands when he was Bill Clinton's vice presidential uh running mate in 2016. | |
| But he didn't seem particularly offended that his running mate's husband had been credibly accused of all of these Things, including exposing himself, rape, sexual assault, serial cheating, and all the above. | |
| He seemed to be very good friends with Bill Clinton. | |
| So I found that a little bit, a little bit of irony there. | |
| And so that came up, and you know, then the issue of whether or not you believe in waterboarding and the Geneva conventions came up with Angus King. | |
| Let's see. | |
| One person, a Democrat from Michigan, Gary Peters was upset they didn't have a one-on-one meeting. | |
| I'm like, really? | |
| That's what's that that's all you have to say. | |
| Um I thought that uh Senator Mullen of Oklahoma was particularly powerful. | |
| He he went right at his fellow senators. | |
| And he goes, Yeah, how many of you have shown up having up drunk at night to vote? | |
| Uh and how many of you here in this chamber have have been involved in cheating scandals? | |
| He was like, he went right there. | |
| I was like, wow. | |
| Then he called out the hypocrisy of senators. | |
| And then he pointed out, yes, everyone has sinned and fallen short. | |
| He didn't use those words. | |
| They're my words. | |
| And we've all well, the Bible's words. | |
| Uh we've all made mistakes. | |
| And Pete has, you know, changed his life, and he's done it for a number of years now. | |
| But they want to go back and dredge up the past as past as much as they can. | |
| This is why good people don't want to run for public office. | |
| They don't want to be a part of serving in the government. | |
| It's a high price that you pay, I'll tell you. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| You might think that okay, I'll use my gun in self-defense. | |
| That obviously, if you have to protect your um, I can't announce everything yet, but we have uh a lot planned for next week. | |
| Excited about all of it. | |
| Let's put it this way. | |
| I'm gonna be spending more time in the DC swamp than I had originally planned. | |
| But we have a lot of really good stuff that we're gonna do that I think uh hopefully will get things started off on the right foot and uh be productive in a lot of different ways. | |
| Um I'm kind of getting excited about Linda. | |
| You're getting excited about Monday? | |
| It can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Of course. | |
| I mean, could you just just imagine what it would be like if Kamala won for a second? | |
| Just imagine that. | |
| What do you think? | |
| Yeah, I try not to have bad dreams while I'm wide awake. | |
| I don't do that. | |
| That's not a thing. | |
| It would be pretty bad. | |
| Uh, they announced that uh, oh, I know that Rascal Flats is gonna be playing there. | |
| That's pretty cool. | |
| I didn't know what he's gonna be playing. | |
| Oh, guess who else is playing there? | |
| Who? | |
| The village people are playing there. | |
| Oh, I did see that. | |
| I did see that. | |
| Why? | |
| MCA, but did you see at the Fox? | |
| Are you gonna do it, Sean? | |
| You're gonna get up there and dance with them. | |
| No, I'm not no, I will not be. | |
| I'm working. | |
| That might be the one dance you could do. | |
| You don't have to move the bottom part of your body. | |
| You just have to move your arms. | |
| All you gotta do is you put the big Y up, right? | |
| And then you do the M. And then you kind of slant over A, and then the A at the top when you put your hands together. | |
| Is that it? | |
| And the the third letter is C, but we'll we'll give you a pass this first one. | |
| Not everybody gets it right the first time. | |
| It's fine. | |
| Okay, I sound like Joe Biden. | |
| Or who was it that's a the three-letter word, jobs, J-O-B-S jobs. | |
| Such an idiot. | |
| Anyway, so the village people, Rascal Flats, Carrie Underwood is gonna be performing. | |
| And you know, and by the way, to her, she doesn't care at all about any backlash. | |
| Good for her that she may face, according to sources who say that the singer's very proud to have the chance to have that experience during her career. | |
| She but she's got such an amazing voice, by the way. | |
| She's incredible. | |
| And I really don't care what Performers political points of view are. | |
| I mean, if I chose my music, and if I chose what I watched, which I don't watch a lot of stuff, I've been obsessed with the chosen now forever. | |
| Um, but I if I chose it based on their politics, I wouldn't watch any of it. | |
| Anyway, they're gonna do Macho Man, YMCA. | |
| Um, I just I don't I have so much that I have to do work-wise, and we're doing a show Sunday night that I really won't have time to do anything else but get my work done. | |
| And you are aware of my schedule, so you know how tight things are gonna be. | |
| It's gonna be pretty pretty tight indeed. | |
| Um it's just you know, it's it's gonna be such shock and awe. | |
| Um, if you want to know what the schedule is, uh on what is it on Sat on Saturday, there's a reception of fireworks will be held at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, is a reception for cabinet nominees and a dinner hosted by Vice President Elect J. D. Vance. | |
| On the 19th, Trump is gonna lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery where members of the military are buried. | |
| Uh a victory rally at Capitol One Arena, which is the home of the Washington Wizard and the Washington Capitals. | |
| Uh, that's the candlelight dinner. | |
| I had a couple of close friends of mine that are going to that and tried to talk me into going. | |
| I'm like, well, I'm doing a show on Sunday night. | |
| I have no choice, but I'll have to work. | |
| I'll be working. | |
| On inauguration day, the day begins with services at St. John's Church. | |
| After the church service, Trump will have tea at the White House with Joe and Jill Biden. | |
| At noon, Trump will take the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol. | |
| I do solemnly swear, affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, defend the Constitution of the United States. | |
| After saying then goodbye to Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the president will hold a signing ceremony near the Senate chamber where he will likely sign nominations so that his cabinet selections can be confirmed expeditiously. | |
| A lunch will be hosted by the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies, which organizes the inauguration events, including the swearing-in ceremony. | |
| Uh prior to uh the parade from the Capitol to the White House, the president will review the troops. | |
| The parade will be down Pennsylvania Avenue. | |
| I'm sure security is going to be, I pray security's gonna be insane. | |
| It should be, it must be, it has to be uh at the White House, Trump will hold a signing ceremony where he will sign what is expected to be shock and awe, a flurry of executive orders. | |
| He will attend and address three inaugural balls. | |
| Uh the commander in chief's ball, the Liberty Inaugural Ball, and the Starlight Ball. | |
| Uh I will be at one of the three wherever he will be in the 9 p.m. hour is the one I will be at. | |
| And it looks like it was up until yesterday, the Liberty Ball. | |
| It looks like the Starlight Ball now, so we'll have to wait and see how that that plays out. | |
| I have to put on a tuxedo again. | |
| Can you believe it? | |
| You know how I love my tuxedo. | |
| I mean, you know, listen, I would wear just about anything. | |
| I'd wear a tuxedo to go to the bowl and see President Trump. | |
| Oh, would you like to do you never mention that you want would you like to go to the ball? | |
| No, I'm washing my hair that night. | |
| I can't make it. | |
| Washing my hair that night you can't make it. | |
| I get you a picture. | |
| I you I thought this was gonna buy me goodwill with Donald Trump when we were in Harrisburg. | |
| And and that lasted about two weeks, as I predicted. | |
| It lasted longer than I thought, actually. | |
| Alabama and Texas. | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| And Mike Johnson have all ordered the Capitol, their state flags and capital flags. | |
| Uh uh they're refusing to keep it at half staff during Trump's inauguration. | |
| This is something Joe Biden had decided. | |
| I hope when Trump gets in there, he just puts the flag up. | |
| I think he should. | |
| But the pet look, the pettiness was on display. | |
| It's gonna be on display for cash. | |
| It's gonna be on this display for Tulsi. | |
| It's gonna be on display for Pam, who's on, I think she's up tomorrow. | |
| It's gonna be on display for Marco, it's gonna be on display for RFK Jr. | |
| It it's it's pretty much gonna be everybody. | |
| And this is just Democrats, bitter, angry, petty. | |
| We saw all the pettiness of Joe Biden on the way out the door. | |
| None of this should be a surprise to anybody. | |
| And, you know, we saw it on display today. | |
| I mean, I mean, the the fact that they they designate Tim Kane, Hillary Clinton's running mate, to go after Pete on issues from his past, uh is a little ironic. | |
| Did that not make you laugh? | |
| It kind of made me laugh. | |
| Um, and and like this is your best shot, and then the best shot that they took at Pete, you know, they they obsessed for for like an hour and a half over women and their role in combat. | |
| Am I old fashioned in thinking that in my way of thinking, I'm I'm not against women in combat. | |
| I'm not at all. | |
| I just think the standards, as Pete was pointing out, need to be exactly the same. | |
| And that which would go for police uh departments and fire departments, as long as as long as you're capable of doing the job, nothing should prevent you from being a job. | |
| Your sex shouldn't prevent you from being a you know from doing the job. | |
| But at the end of the day, if you're a firefighter and you can't carry somebody out of a burning building when if j if for whatever reason, man or woman, then that's not the job for you. | |
| It's just simply not. | |
| And maybe I'm very old fashioned, but if somebody breaks into my house and there's anybody in my house, which usually there's not, if somebody breaks into my house, I think it's my job to get up and to deal with whatever situation is unfolding it at my house. | |
| Do you do you think that you feel the same way, Linda? | |
| 100% agree with you. | |
| How many times did I use the analogy about you and being out with somebody, and if somebody starts choking and you're with a guy, I think that guy's choking. | |
| Don't you think that was a good example? | |
| Because I know you you would knock over the table, you would dive into the next table, you would race over, get behind the guy, put your fingers down his throat, do the Heimlich maneuver all at once. | |
| Is that a pretty idea? | |
| I think the better analogy is to look at like this LA firefighter who is like, you know, if I have to carry your husband out of a fire, then your husband got in the wrong spot. | |
| And I think to your point into Pete Heggsett's point is that, you know, again, it's on an equal basis, not equity. | |
| Charles the God says that the prosecution of Trump is pure political theater. | |
| And I you know what? | |
| What happens if a forest falls on the trees, uh, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it? | |
| That's sort of like Jack Smith, who resigned and is releasing a vindictive report to justify what was nothing but a political witch hunt. | |
| And of course, you know, dump it in just days before Donald Trump takes the oath of office, and with no opportunity for Donald Trump and his team to even rebut it. | |
| It's nothing but a cheap shot, and nobody really cares. | |
| Nobody cares. | |
| Not even the people at MSDNC or fake news CNN care about any of this this nonsense. | |
| I'll tell you what people do care about. | |
| You know, the more we learn about these LA wildfires, the angrier that everybody I think should get. | |
| I think everybody should be very angry. | |
| Because this is what radical environmentalism is all about. | |
| It's also rooted and deeply tied into the socialist Marxist statist agenda, hence the Green New Deal guarantees government healthy food, daycare, uh guaranteed government job, blah, blah, blah. | |
| Everything's everything's guaranteed, cradle to grave, womb to the tomb. | |
| Now, at the end of the day, I'm telling you where the money is going to come from. | |
| You the taxpayers. | |
| And Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes that aid sent to California with all the devastation should probably have conditions. | |
| I think he's right. | |
| In other words, unless they practice the science of forestry, unless they fill their reservoirs, unless they have hydrants and a plan to to take care of any area that might be subject to a wildfire unless they have the general practice of clearing out brush, unless they implement controlled burns. | |
| Then why why are we bothering to pour good money after bad? | |
| I mean, for example, years ago, they didn't have category five storm impact windows in Florida. | |
| Now it's now it's as far as I'm concerned, it's mandatory. | |
| And I think for most people, it's pretty much mandatory. | |
| And if you're anywhere near the coast, it absolutely is mandatory. | |
| Uh Kamala Harris is uh refusing to invite JD Vance, as is traditional, over to where he will be living when he becomes vice president. | |
| But does anybody really care? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| Uh, the more that we're learning about this fire, the more we're learning how California eco bureaucrats halted a Pacific Palisades fire safety project to save an endangered shrub. | |
| This was in the New York Post today. | |
| But in 2019, the LA Department of Water and Power began replacing nearly a hundred-year-old power line poles cutting through some state park when the project was halted within days by conservationist outraged that federally endangered. | |
| I don't even know what this is. | |
| That federally endangered Brontons Milk Vetch plants had been trampled during the process. | |
| I've never heard of that plant before. | |
| The goal of the project was to improve fire safety for the Pacific Palisades area by replacing the wood poles with steel, widening the fire access lanes in the area, installing wind and fire resistant power lines, all after the area was identified as having an elevated fire risk. | |
| The project would have ensured power reliability and safety while helping reduce wildfire threats. | |
| The wooden poles were installed between 1933 and 1955, well past their useful service life. | |
| But this is how insane the environmental movement is. | |
| And then if you look at the New York Post today, they have a long expose about how Governor Newsom has plans to spend $100 billion on electric vehicles. | |
| We told you about the L.A. They have those green, what are those green street sweepers? | |
| They're 800 grand a piece. | |
| They got a hundred billion dollars on electric vehicles. | |
| Meanwhile, they're cutting back, and by the way, I've been proposed cutting 2.6 billion in fire prevention budget by uh their 2.6 billion fire prevention budget by 101 million. | |
| I mean, what part of this are you not getting? | |
| You know, now they're gonna ask taxpayers to bail them out. | |
| Sorry, no, thank you. | |
| There is a recall effort now against Newsom again underway in California following this. | |
| LA Times owner says the outlet made a mistake endorsing Mayor Karen Bass. | |
| Nine charge for looting. | |
| That's now becoming a big issue. | |
| Kamala Harris has a word salad telling fired wildfire victims to find anything that helps them to be patient. | |
| What do I want to need? | |
