| The Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, passed decades and decades ago and since radically expanded, follows the United Nations' global policies and treaties on environmental management. | |
| And it does not allow government, private individuals, you name it, to be able to remove dead trees and brush. | |
| California, and you can go read the regulations that are just expanded out of a law, again, passed in California several decades ago. | |
| And there are tens of millions of dead trees, estimated by the state government of California, that are dead. | |
| And there are branches and just piles of fuel kindling everywhere. | |
| And that is what the fire department... | |
| Have said that's what the mitigation experts have said. | |
| The insurance companies in the last few years have been pulling insurance coverage in the state. | |
| It intensified just a few months ago ahead of the historic fires in Los Angeles. | |
| And so Elon Musk gets on a plane and goes out to L.A. yesterday to make sure all the cyber trucks and Starlink are getting set up and delivered to bring Internet and supplies. | |
| And he goes and talks to the fire department. | |
| They say, we don't know what caused the fire. | |
| And we're not going to talk about why the water ran out. | |
| We were just using so much. | |
| It's political. | |
| They'll all lose their jobs. | |
| We know they drained the main 117 million gallon reservoir above the Palisades that was built, again, many, many years ago to supply the fire department during an emergency fire. | |
| So if you don't cut out all of that dead wood that's there, and by the way, the firefighters say to Musk, oh, there's not been fires in this area for 60 years. | |
| And they admit it's just piles of dead wood. | |
| And so then you leave the power lines on. | |
| When these big winds come in, it blows down the power lines because the trees fall on it. | |
| And then you have the fire starting and we have the videos all over the place in L.A. when that started in the Palisades seven days ago. | |
| And that's what started the fires. | |
| So Newsom can play dumb. | |
| They can all play dumb. | |
| The firefighters aren't going to accuse their bosses of anything. | |
| They'll lose their jobs. | |
| That's what's happening. |
