LA has the most lesbian fire department in history. What does that have to do with the devastating fires that have ravaged California over the past week? Well, you'll have to listen to this episode to find out.
00:00:53.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:52.000There's the Santa Ana winds, and for anybody that has landed or tried to land a plane and the Santa Ana winds, you know that it is truly an act of God when that happens.
00:02:34.000What we are seeing in Pacific Palisades, what we're seeing in Pasadena, what we're seeing all across Los Angeles County is because of intentional political decisions.
00:03:31.000And I could show you some of the pictures and you're seeing it up on screen.
00:03:34.000Not cleaning up the brush because the environmentalists.
00:03:36.000And of course, the biggest one, number two, is the water.
00:03:40.000Gavin Newsom, who should resign in disgrace for his handling of these fires.
00:03:46.000Has refused to allow the fresh water that comes from the heavens, act of God, to be captured and put in reservoirs to be able to fight the fires.
00:03:56.000We have videos of firefighters using women's purses to try and put out the fires.
00:04:04.000Gavin Newsom actively dismantled four dams.
00:04:08.000Gavin Newsom went out of his way to dismantle and pick apart four dams in the Los Angeles area.
00:04:15.000And then, of course, number three, which is that California has been the petri dish.
00:04:21.000It has been the Wuhan Institute of Virology for the woke mind virus.
00:04:28.000California is where all of the diversity, equity, inclusion, critical race theory, LGBTQIA plus ideology has been festering.
00:04:40.000And it turns out when you need to fight a fire, it doesn't matter if your fire chief is gay, black, lesbian, trans.
00:04:48.000It matters whether or not you have a capable firefighting force.
00:04:53.000And they have intentionally tried to drive out all of the white people from the firefighting force in Los Angeles.
00:05:00.000We don't need white men to fight fires.
00:05:35.000The fourth lesbian actually has another name.
00:05:38.000This is a local news report months ago of them bragging about the new leadership in the fire department and in L.A. County is going to be lesbian, gay, trans.
00:05:52.000Turns out when you have to fight a fire and you prioritize things that don't matter above things that do matter, don't be shocked when your city burns to a crisp.
00:06:02.000Play cut 66. The Dallas Fire Department is launching its first ever Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Bureau.
00:06:08.000It is dedicated to ensuring a fair and equal workplace environment.
00:06:12.000Every day, the LAFD is called upon to respond to crises, and today it is taking a step to resolve one of its own.
00:06:18.000The department's first-ever Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Bureau will launch in January, one year since its first-ever female fire chief, Kristen Crowley, was appointed.
00:06:27.000So by creating this new bureau, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Bureau, now we actually have the staff to do the work when it comes to doing a deep dive in regard to how we do business, how we take care of one another in the fire stations and in our work environment.
00:06:42.000The plan is to do so by adding training and enforcing accountability.
00:06:45.000Was that one of the lesbian Christians running the fire department?
00:06:49.000So can we, by the way, can we get a collage of all the lesbian Christians?
00:07:19.000I actually think Democrats believe that lesbians or gays have like some sort of magical superpower to stop fires.
00:07:27.000Like is there some sort of innate mystical quality that those three Kristen...
00:07:34.000Lesbians have, again, I don't care if they're lesbian or gay or straight, if they're capable, but it's obvious you don't get three Christians by the name of, that are lesbian, to run a fire department unless you're prioritizing things that don't matter.
00:10:53.000You'll get all sorts of different answers.
00:10:55.000In fact, you might get 10 answers if you ask nine experts.
00:10:57.000They'll say a bull market, a bear market, rates will rise or fall, inflation up or down.
00:11:02.000Can someone please invent a crystal ball?
00:11:04.000Until then, over 38,000 businesses have future-proofed their business with NetSuite by Oracle.
00:11:11.000The number one cloud, ERP, bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR into one fluid platform.
00:11:18.000With one unified business management suite, there's one source of truth giving you the visibility and control you need to make quick decisions.
00:11:27.000With real-time insights and forecasting, you're peering into the future with actionable data.
00:11:31.000When you're closing the books in days, not weeks, you're spending less time looking backwards and more time on what's next.
00:11:37.000At Turning Point USA, this is exactly what we plan on using.
00:11:40.000Whether your company is earning millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, NetSuite helps you respond to immediately challenges and seize your biggest opportunities.
00:11:52.000Instead of cleaning the forest floors and removing dead trees, capturing rain runoff...
00:11:59.000And making sure California has water in fire hydrants, Democrat politicians will instead deflect responsibility and blame climate change.
00:12:10.000This magical blame shifting allows them to avoid accountability for their incompetence and mismanagement while wielding tyrannical power over voters, harassing them for cooking on gas stoves, forcing them to drive electric vehicles, and charging them a carbon tax for simply living.
00:14:08.000Not only dangerous, billions of dollars a year they spend on forest fires.
00:14:13.000And, you know, there's a case with the environment.
00:14:15.000They're not allowed to rake their forests because you're not allowed to touch it.
00:14:20.000And all they have to do is clean their forest, meaning rake it up, get rid of the leaves, get rid of, you know, leaves that are sitting there for five years.
00:14:28.000We'll certainly get rid of the dead fall.
00:14:30.000And get rid of the trees that have fallen.
00:14:34.000You can't clean up the trees or the brush.
00:14:37.000Everybody in L.A. knows it, but because you might upset the natural habitat of the grasshoppers.
00:14:43.000Donald Trump is running on America first and Americans first.
00:14:47.000The Democrats run on Delta smelt first.
00:15:13.000We've been warning about that for quite some time.
00:15:15.000This feckless response that we are seeing on the ground in the Palisades and all across California is a microcosm of a larger cancer and a tumor that President Trump is going to have to take a scalpel and remove.
00:15:29.000Environmentalists have weaponized the Endangered Species Act.
00:15:33.000They basically invent subspecies that are actually part of a much more common one so they can justify blocking development.
00:15:41.000Environmentalists are earth worshippers.
00:15:46.000They're inherently against human flourishing.
00:15:49.000To them, this fire is just karma for all of modernity's development against them.
00:15:56.000Just the other day, the New York Times admitted that the snail darter wasn't even a real species, and it blocked development for years.
00:16:04.000The New York Times wrote, this tiny fish mistaken identity halted a dam's construction.
00:16:10.000Scientists say the snail darter, whose endangered species status delayed the building of a dam in Tennessee, is a genetic match of a different fish.
00:16:18.000So they just invent subspecies to prevent development.
00:16:26.000I want to hear from you, freedomatcharliekirk.com.
00:16:28.000There needs to start to be investigations of public officials.
00:16:31.000By the way, let's just get the record straight.
00:16:34.000If Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, is under multiple federal indictments for taking free flights on Turkish airlines, it's not too much to say that Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, should face federal charges for letting her city burn.
00:16:51.000They tried to put Donald Trump in prison for paying some...
00:16:56.000I think Karen Bass can face federal charges.
00:17:00.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here with New Year's Resolutions.
00:17:03.000Many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.
00:17:05.000But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition?
00:17:07.000Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs because truthfully, it's not what you are feeding your pet, it's what you are not.
00:17:16.000Which is why he created Rough Greens and Meow Greens in the first place.
00:17:20.000Bring their dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more.
00:17:28.000All in their tasty formula your dog or cat will love.
00:17:32.000Improve your pet's coat, digestion, and energy and have less vet bills.
00:17:37.000Let 2025 bring a new year and a new pet.
00:19:04.000But she's a black mayor who's there just because of diversity, equity, inclusion.
00:19:09.000She ran up against Caruso, who's a very well-known developer, very qualified, and she beat her in an incredibly sneaky, suspicious election.
00:19:21.000And the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, was an organizer for the Marxist Ven Cerrimos Brigade, who supported Fidel Castro.
00:19:31.000She visited Cuba eight times as a young woman.
00:19:34.000Outside of politics, her main job was a community organizer.
00:19:38.000This is the embodiment of left-wing ideology.
00:19:43.000This is the manifestation of the woke.
00:20:38.000When these fires broke out, Bass was on a pleasure trip all the way in Ghana, in Africa, to visit the inauguration of the country's new president.
00:20:46.000That visit was paid for with taxpayer funds.
00:20:49.000Los Angeles has a budget deficit of almost half a billion dollars.
00:20:53.000If your city doesn't have a balanced budget, the number of diplomatic trips should go to zero.
00:21:24.000And you guys were told by the New York Times, the Washington Post, right-wing people like Elon Musk and right-wing people like Charlie Kirk are making it seem like woke ideologies doesn't harm you and now you don't have a driveway.
00:21:46.000It turns out all of you in this audience were right.
00:21:49.000It turns out that every single one of us, and I gotta be honest though, there's a lot of American first and patriots that no longer have homes too.
00:21:57.000I know of 15 conservative people, some of which that work on our team that I mentioned yesterday, their entire home is gone.
00:22:05.000And again, I do not take delight in anybody's suffering.
00:23:13.000And this is why when these pastors and these good-for-nothing people will come up to me, oh, Charlie, I'm tired of politics.
00:23:18.000Well, if you don't get politics right, you don't have a home.
00:23:21.000This is 100% a byproduct of your willingness or your unwillingness to engage in the political arena.
00:23:29.000And when California, in a couple of weeks, comes crawling back for federal assistance, Trump should say, listen, I'm not going to give you a dime unless you fire the lesbian Christians.
00:23:40.000You mandate the proper forest management and stop controlled burns that Newsom has stopped.
00:23:45.000You cut it out with California's failed diversity, equity, inclusion, homeless spending.
00:23:50.000You require water capture instead of flushing it into the ocean.
00:23:55.000We're not going to pay for this anymore.
00:23:59.000When Florida gets hit by a hurricane, FPL, Florida Power and Light, has power coming back in a couple days.
00:24:06.000They also build their homes in a certain way to be hurricane-proof.
00:24:10.000California, they're so left-wing, they're so liberal, they're so out of touch, they're so earth-worshipping, and now entire neighborhoods are gone as if an atomic bomb was dropped.
00:24:21.000In 2020, Pacific Palisades voted 70% for Joe Biden.
00:25:12.000Playcut 124. Laura, with all due respect, if it is true that things were handled this way, if it is true that Gavin Newsom is...
00:25:21.000The absolute blithering idiot that I believe he is in the way he has handled fire management in this state again and again and again and again.
00:28:02.000But the majority, the vast majority, Seven out of ten of the people in those neighborhoods, they said, bring it on.
00:28:09.000The question has always been, when will people in California wake up?
00:28:14.000We thought it would be when a homeless man is taking a crap in your front yard.
00:28:17.000Maybe now the wake-up call will be when you don't have a front yard.
00:28:21.000You know that that sign is the in-house, in this house we believe black lives matter and women's rights are human rights and no human is illegal and science is real.
00:28:29.000Love is love and kindness is everything.
00:31:33.000The chaparral, the conditions on those hillsides, they've been prevented.
00:31:38.000I know people personally who've tried to clear the brush on their property and have been prevented by officials and bureaucrats captured by this ideological extremism.
00:31:49.000And here's another point that people aren't talking about enough, Charlie, the short-term point.
00:32:40.000The second that there's one of these dreadful mass shootings, they are right in there before the bodies are even buried, blaming Republicans, demanding policy change.
00:32:50.000We're not going to take any of this crap from them.
00:32:52.000This is exactly the right time to point out that their failures have made this crisis immeasurably worse for millions of people.
00:33:01.000So, Steve, the tragedy is unspeakable.
00:33:04.000I don't want to go into any of the detail of that.
00:33:05.000But you have a whole book here, Caliphailia, Reversing the Ruin of America's Worst Run State.
00:33:12.000Steve, in your political calculus, which I hate going there too quickly, do you think this could be the beginning of the end of the Democrat monopoly of America's most beautiful state?
00:33:21.000Well, it has to be, Charlie, because we have to have change in California.
00:33:25.000Anyone who didn't realise that before this surely must now realise this.
00:33:29.000And it's interesting to me that people are not holding back.
00:33:32.000They're not saying, well, let's talk about all this after the event.
00:33:36.000There's so much anger here because these points have been made for years now.
00:33:42.000Discovery that we need to manage our forests better or that we need to capture the abundant water we have and collect it and store it and get it to where it's needed.
00:33:54.000We've been going on about it for years.
00:33:55.000And so this is a wake-up moment because we've got to make sure nothing like this happens again and put in place the common-sense policies that will build up our infrastructure, prepare us for natural disasters.
00:34:07.000Disasters happen everywhere, but in places that are badly run, the impact is far worse.
00:34:13.000And there is nowhere worse run than California.
00:34:15.000You just compare it to the kind of response you get in well-run states like Florida.
