00:00:01.000 Moments away, President Trump will be landing behind me.

00:00:04.000 Real America's Voice and Brian Glenn, because of great reporting,

00:00:07.000 has been invited specially to go.

00:00:09.000 This has been totally abandoned.

00:00:10.000 This is the forgotten man and woman, completely abandoned.

00:00:13.000 If you want to know what President Trump is up to,

00:00:15.000 just turn on Real America's Voice.

00:00:17.000 The communications staff understands the power of streaming

00:00:21.000 and the power of things like Real America's Voice.

00:00:23.000 This media landscaping is changing now.

00:00:25.000 The First Lady's first trip is with her husband,

00:00:28.000 the President of the United States, showing how much she cares about this.

00:00:33.000 This is Real America's Voice has been invited by the White House communications team.

00:00:36.000 I think it's just a wonderful thing that he's here today.

00:00:45.000 I'm stopping in North Carolina first because they've been abused by what's happened.

00:00:50.000 I mean, it's terrible.

00:00:51.000 A lot of Americans think that this is symbolic of what your campaign was all about.

00:00:55.000 America first, putting your priorities to Americans. 0.94

00:00:59.000 Even going to California, where their policies might have been more of the biggest reasons

00:01:03.000 why they've had these problems.

00:01:05.000 But you're putting American people first. 0.90

00:01:06.000 Your thoughts on that?

00:01:07.000 We are.

00:01:08.000 Thank you.

00:01:09.000 I like that question.

00:01:10.000 Boy, I want more questions like that.

00:01:12.000 That's even a statement.

00:01:13.000 Thank you very much.

00:01:14.000 He's a good man, that guy.

00:01:15.000 And he's also a very professional reporter, I have to say.

00:01:18.000 Thank you very much.

00:01:19.000 Yeah.

00:01:20.000 We're putting America first.

00:01:21.000 Thank you.

00:01:22.000 Thank you.

00:01:28.000 When the mainstream media is like, how did Trump come back?

00:01:30.000 How they came back was pick and shovel worse every day.

00:01:33.000 War Room every day for four hours a day was hammering this.

00:01:36.000 These new media outlets and people like yourself that bet everything and put all the chips in the middle of the table,

00:01:41.000 say, hey, we back this guy, we back this movement.

00:01:44.000 And today is the payoff for England.

00:01:46.000 All of PCH is on fire right now.

00:02:11.000 There is fierce wind down power lines, power poles toppled over.

00:02:18.000 Things are exploding.

00:02:23.000 Gas lines are on fire.

00:02:26.000 Flames are coming back over PCH, are being blown by fierce winds.

00:02:33.000 It is like driving through hell itself down here, literally through hell.

00:02:40.000 This is madness down here.

00:02:42.000 These homes are on fire and you can feel the heat from the flames even from inside your car.

00:02:48.000 It is insane down here.

00:02:50.000 Take a look at this fire tornado spotted above the Palisades fire this morning.

00:02:55.000 This was captured by air seven.

00:02:57.000 Just a wild view there.

00:02:59.000 By the way here is a little bit of fire.

00:03:00.000 갈

00:03:17.000 off the hot sun as well as aggressive side puedesist lever.

00:08:29.960 Ben Berquam is actually

00:08:31.960 back in Chicago tomorrow.

00:08:33.960 Ben is going to be doing duty for

00:08:35.960 us on the deportations.

00:08:37.960 So much going on.

00:08:39.960 Okay, fine.

00:08:41.960 We're setting up.

00:08:43.960 She's trying to work her way into the Palisades. 1.00

00:08:47.400 So here's what's going to happen this afternoon.

00:08:49.400 The president is going to land momentarily, I think, within the next half hour at LAX on Air Force

00:08:54.800 One.

00:08:55.180 I believe I have some short comments on the tarmac.

00:08:57.180 I've talked to some officials, Gavin Newsom, think the governor is going to be out there.

00:09:02.480 Don't know if Mayor Bass is going to be out there.

00:09:04.180 Then the president right now is planning on helicoptering.

00:09:07.120 So 530, quarter six is what, 230.

00:09:10.200 You've got a couple hours of daylight, sun goes down about 530, this time 520 in LA by the

00:09:17.100 ocean.

00:09:17.980 President, a helicopter up to the Palisades, and I'll spend an hour or so up there.

00:09:22.140 I think there's going to be another roundtable meeting with officials.

00:09:24.860 But really, the president should get on the ground and see what's going on.

00:09:28.480 Remember, there's additional fires happening in LA right now because of the wind conditions,

00:09:33.360 more destruction, more devastation.

00:09:36.000 The situation this afternoon is going to be quite different than this morning.

00:09:40.560 What do I mean by that?

00:09:41.480 The president signed an executive order.

00:09:43.040 He's very focused on this deconstruction of the administrative state.

00:09:45.820 The president is very focused on efficiency and effectiveness.

00:09:51.100 I don't know if Elon's gotten in his ear or not with Doge.

00:09:54.160 But he is furious at FEMA for however the money was held back because the devastation he saw

00:10:01.580 in western North Carolina today, this is four months ago.

00:10:05.020 This is four months ago.

00:10:07.280 And it looked like nothing had been done.

00:10:09.120 I mean, the devastation is horrible.

00:10:10.280 He's very upset about that.

00:10:12.140 He wanted everybody to know, and First Lady Melania Trump is with him.

00:10:17.460 He wanted everybody to know he was going out there to see the forgotten man and woman.

00:10:20.260 He's quite furious about, he's quite upset about FEMA.

00:10:23.220 But he made a comment before he got on the plane that, hey, if FEMA had the money, did Joe

00:10:28.640 Biden purposely stop this?

00:10:30.980 And I think it's a big question.

00:10:32.000 Out there today, because of, we had Joshua Pettit on here talking about these coastal

00:10:37.000 commissions, talking about these environmental, there's so many laws, so many regulations,

00:10:41.320 so many over the top, whether it's the Delta smelt fish about the water or whether it's

00:10:46.340 the coastal commissions about what you can cut down.

00:10:48.500 This whole thing that President Trump has warned Gavin Newsom about for years since he

00:10:52.620 was out there at the Paradise Fire and walked around with Gavin Newsom, made a comment

00:10:57.120 then about the clearing of the underbrush.

00:11:00.720 It's quite controversial.

00:11:02.200 And the American people, you know, they're talking about $200 billion of damage.

00:11:05.860 They're also talking about an insurance industry that won't insure.

00:11:09.140 I think somebody told me one third of the Palisades' homes were uninsured because they say,

00:11:14.020 hey, now you live in a fire zone and we can't insure you. 1.00

00:11:17.300 We're going to get to all that.

00:11:18.120 I want to go to Ben Burquam.

00:11:19.780 Ben is on the road.

00:11:20.760 Ben will be back in, he'll be back in Chicago tomorrow.

00:11:23.660 Ben, one, your perspective on this morning, what you saw in North Carolina, and then I

00:11:29.720 want to tee up for what you and I are going to do in the 6 o'clock hour.

00:11:33.120 Talk to me first about the visit to North Carolina today.

00:11:36.120 You, 10 days ago, Ben, you were out there as one of the driving forces, I think, to make

00:11:39.480 sure the president and his staff understood people were hurting.

00:11:43.120 These are people, the president's biggest backers, people that love the president.

00:11:47.000 They've been abandoned by Joe Biden, abandoned by the administrative state.

00:11:50.580 What did today mean to you, sir?

00:11:53.660 Well, it's the beginning of restoring America first. 0.91

00:11:59.500 It's the beginning of restoring trust in government and the people of this country realizing that

00:12:04.920 their government isn't out to get them, isn't against them.

00:12:07.780 They're actually for them.

00:12:08.940 And that's President Trump's entire campaign was restoring the forgotten man.

00:12:14.880 All of these communities feel not just forgotten, they feel intentionally abandoned.

00:12:21.320 They feel not, they're not victims because they've taken it upon themselves in that interim

00:12:26.700 to do it themselves.

00:12:28.200 But they just, they feel like the government is against them, not for them.

00:12:31.760 And today was the beginning of restoring that trust.

00:12:34.380 And it had to be done by President Trump.

00:12:39.060 I want to go, by the way, Brian Glenn is heading back to these magnificent, he's heading to Georgia,

00:12:44.020 I guess he is.

00:12:44.500 He's going to be, and he's actually going to be down at Doral on Monday with the president.

00:12:48.960 Ben, a tee up for me, a six o'clock.

00:12:51.620 What's going to happen?

00:12:52.240 At six o'clock, we're going to do something very special.

00:12:54.960 It ties directly back to when you were there 10 days ago, and really to the forgotten

00:12:59.060 man and woman.

00:12:59.760 What's going to happen?

00:13:02.680 So I just got a call.

00:13:03.960 I was trying to reach out to all my contacts down there in Tennessee and North Carolina

00:13:07.820 to make sure that they had all gotten the invite to President Trump's visit, to make

00:13:11.660 sure their stories were going to be told.

00:13:13.340 And I couldn't get a hold of Tyler Burleson.

00:13:15.560 Texts weren't going through, calls weren't going through.

00:13:17.540 Finally got a text from him.

00:13:18.980 He is being held in the county jail as we speak.

00:13:22.220 He got put in jail yesterday for some nonsense bounce check issue.

00:13:28.040 This county, you want to talk about corruption.

00:13:30.000 You want to talk about the government, the tyranny that still exists in our government.

00:13:34.780 It is happening right now.

00:13:36.200 We're going to get Tyler on the phone from jail to tell the story about this corruption

00:13:40.820 and hopefully get him out of there.

00:13:42.080 It's absolutely outrageous.

00:13:45.780 Ben, what's your social media?

00:13:47.400 We'll see you back here at six.

00:13:49.180 Where do we get you, sir?

00:13:52.220 At Ben Burkwam on all social, frontlineamerica.com and new episodes of Law & Border.

00:14:33.420 Beautiful house.

00:14:34.860 Had for decades in Pacific Palisades.

00:14:37.860 Burned down to ashes.

00:14:40.800 He takes us out with American heart.

00:14:42.260 We're going to be back in the war room in just a moment.

00:14:45.260 But I'm American, mate.

00:15:00.120 Big victory on 5 November.

00:15:02.540 Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.

00:15:05.960 One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.

00:15:11.160 Hey, you think the country's broke?

00:16:24.520 Okay, we're going to do, look at that footage right there.

00:16:31.940 Ladies and gentlemen, and if you're hearing this, listening to the podcast, you must go to the website and get the command report and all the footage.

00:16:40.320 That, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most quaint villages, neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles.

00:16:48.840 The Los Angeles, you know, megalopolis, which, I don't know if you added everything up, is what, 12, 15 million people?

00:16:55.500 This is the home of, you know, Billy Crystal and Tom Hanks and so many stars today.

00:17:02.920 But in the old days, this was kind of the low-key.

00:17:05.060 The folks that didn't want to live in Beverly Hills, didn't want to live in Bel Air, didn't want to live in Holmby Hills.

00:17:09.880 They wanted to live in something more low-key.

00:17:12.060 It is burned to the ground.

00:17:13.780 Look at that right there.

00:17:16.280 It's absolutely stunning.

00:17:17.600 And you saw the fire when we first started.

00:17:19.640 That is what President Trump's coming to today.

00:17:22.560 And President Trump, this one's getting some tough questions.

00:17:24.800 Number one, this has turned into a progressive enclave.

00:17:29.460 I think 80 percent of the enclave is progressive, and I mean progressive left.

00:17:33.380 They're one of the biggest fundraisers for the left.

00:17:35.880 But these people are getting red-pilled quickly.

00:17:38.440 You've seen Bill Maher on his show.

00:17:41.020 Yeah, if we can walk down and look up the streets.

00:17:45.540 I mean, look at this, everywhere.

00:17:47.140 Just unbelievable destruction.

00:17:49.860 If you, in fact, if the cameraman, that's been our cameraman.

00:17:54.760 If we can walk towards the main part of the Palisades, if he can walk in there, I don't even know if the, there's police right there.

00:18:01.880 I don't even know how the, I don't even know how the cameraman's in there.

00:18:04.660 It's basically been, been, been enclosed.

00:18:10.040 The, President Trump is going to be some tough conversations today.

00:18:15.960 Much, this is much different than North Carolina.

00:18:18.740 And the conversations today are going to be about what caused this.

00:18:23.780 I mean, the, the policies, the environmental policies that were in back of this, that led to this.

00:18:30.320 President Trump is, he's maniacally focused on one thing, and this is the water.

00:18:34.660 He wants to know why there wasn't water available to use for the fire department and why it wasn't even down to the, to the, the fire hydrants itself.

00:18:46.260 A massive organizational issue, a massive, just complete collapse of what we call complex systems in order to keep you safe and secure.

00:18:55.320 And you've seen progressives like Bill Maher.

00:18:57.000 I mean, Bill Maher has been on a rampage on this to say how incompetent these people are and how they pay the highest taxes.

00:19:03.640 Look at this, total devastation.

00:19:06.420 The thing that shocked me in watching this, that when it was burning, you didn't see any firemen at all.

00:19:12.840 It's not the firemen are not brave and heroic.

00:19:16.380 Somehow they were ordered not to go in there.

00:19:19.520 They didn't go in.

00:19:20.340 And I understand people say what's different than urban fire and these wildfires, but there was no protection of the homes.

00:19:24.640 They just kind of went home to home and burnt to the ground.

00:19:27.420 The sparks is one spark flew from the next.

00:19:29.900 The other was firemen saying, Hey, even if they went in, there was no water pressure.

00:19:34.420 Remember they had a, they had a real clown the first couple of days, a female that when they answered the question about the tank, she would sit there and be very precise. 0.99

00:19:43.000 It was like somebody in third grade.

00:19:44.140 Well, the tank ran out a million gallons at like a 10 o'clock at night.

00:19:48.300 The next one at like one 30 in the morning, the next one, three 30.

00:19:51.100 And it's like, Hey lady, I don't, I don't need the precise time that each ran out of the water.

00:19:55.940 I want to know why they weren't refilled immediately.

00:19:58.560 Look at this.

00:19:59.040 Another destroyed houses.

00:20:00.820 These are all multimillion dollar houses.

00:20:03.700 Like I said, it's not Beverly Hills or Bel Air or Holmby Hills where the houses are, you know, oftentimes 25, 30, $40 million, $50 million sometime.

00:20:12.580 These are, are smaller houses and some of them quite quaint.

00:20:16.740 Just the fact that you're in the Palisades.

00:20:19.400 Palisades has a reputation for great schools, has a tremendous, you know, Corpus Christi's up there.

00:20:27.160 They have St. Matthew's is up there.

00:20:29.440 Pally High.

00:20:30.120 I mean, the public schools are terrific up there.

00:20:32.260 The private schools of Corpus Christi and St. Matthew's are some of the best in all of L.A.

00:20:37.720 Pally High is known as one of the best high schools, a historic high school up there.

00:20:42.880 Yeah.

00:20:43.460 Which, which Christian? 0.95

00:20:44.300 Calvary Christian is one of the, one of the best classical, classical Christian schools in the country.

00:20:51.100 That's there.

00:20:52.200 It's just all gone.

00:20:53.500 All of them burned down.

00:20:54.680 All of them vanished, finished.

00:20:57.640 And I think you're going to see, as I said, it's so devastating that, you know, I, as now the reality dawns on people, some of the people I know up there who are flaming liberals and big progressives, they are such shock.

00:21:12.780 It's like, how could we have done everything right and been so politically correct?

00:21:16.900 And then this happens.

00:21:17.820 And I believe you're going to find when the analysis is done that there are a lot of these progressive policies, particularly homelessness.

00:21:24.400 I mean, I think one of the most compelling that I've seen, there's our camera right.

00:21:28.480 No, see right there.

00:21:31.080 That's a hulk of a vehicle has not been removed.

00:21:33.480 We are now two or three weeks.

00:21:36.400 When you go around, look at this devastation has not, I mean, so the process of this is a decade.

00:21:45.720 It's just a decade.

00:21:46.580 By the time you clear out all the toxicity, they do remediation on the ground and water.

00:21:51.500 And there will be lawsuits and fights.

00:21:54.280 And they say they're going to do quick permitting.

00:21:55.980 You know, God bless you.

00:21:57.200 I hope you do.

00:21:57.820 But this is where this kind of radical coastal commission, because Palisades, although it doesn't touch the water, it's right up the hill from Malibu and really from that part of Santa Monica.

00:22:08.920 Santa Monica and Malibu are kind of bisected by the slopes coming down from the Palisades.

00:22:14.480 The Palisades being obviously on the Palisades, on the heights overlooking it.

00:22:18.920 But one of the reasons it's so lovely to live there is you get the sea breezes and the clean, fresh sea air all the time that you don't sometimes get when you're in the valley or even like in some of the inland nice neighborhoods of L.A.

00:22:34.420 It's one of the reasons that Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and those are Hermosa, Redondo, and Manhattan are very beachy.

00:22:41.680 Those are real beach communities, right?

00:22:43.440 You feel you're right on the beach.

00:22:44.720 That's where Captain Bannon was raised in Manhattan Beach.

00:22:47.820 Those are very beachy communities.

00:22:49.280 The north, the northern beaches of Santa Monica and really the Palisades and Malibu.

00:22:54.740 Malibu is kind of beachy, but the others are kind of more reserved.

00:22:57.800 You actually have beautiful neighborhoods, these old neighborhoods, and you get beach down below it.

00:23:02.140 But it's not really what I call a beachy, you know, like a surfer community feel.

00:23:06.700 But look at this devastation.

00:23:08.480 This is what President Trump is going to come to today.

00:23:10.320 And look, there's going to be some tough questions.

00:23:11.800 Number one, just politically, it is, look at that right there, the Santa, because it was just after the, you know, Christmas time.

00:23:21.640 Just amazing.

00:23:22.840 One of the questions is going to be to the governor is that what policies, and people, you know, on MSNBC and CNN, they're freaking out now that President Trump is going to put conditions on relief.

00:23:34.100 Well, look, President Trump is a steward of the taxpayers' money, and taxpayers throughout the nation.

00:23:40.840 This is not a small thing.

00:23:42.800 We were just having a discussion here.

00:23:44.120 I think already the direct cost of the fires are in the $60 to $80 billion range, but that's not even the rebuild.

00:23:51.220 I mean, that's kind of the current cost, the rebuild.

00:23:53.620 I'm hearing numbers of $150 to $200 billion.

00:23:56.380 Please always keep in mind that California is, I think, the seventh largest economy in the world.

00:24:03.340 Southern California is a powerhouse of an economy.

00:24:06.420 This is going to have a major hit to GDP, a major hit to just growth overall.

00:24:12.400 There's not a question this has to be built.

00:24:14.360 It's how it gets rebuilt and who's actually underwriting it and footing the bill.

00:24:18.580 I believe I heard that one-third of the homes in Palisades were not insured at all, couldn't get insurance.

00:24:25.440 They do have an insurance pullout.

00:24:27.720 That's going to be BK.

00:24:28.940 They're going to look for a bailout of that.

00:24:30.720 They're going to look for an underwriting of this.

00:24:32.320 So the American taxpayers are going to have a lot of questions.

00:24:35.520 Let's put politics aside, like exactly how did this happen?

00:24:40.140 You know, fires happen, and particularly wildfires happen.

00:24:43.520 This is also not a case.

00:24:45.060 I don't want to hear about climate change in global warming.

00:24:49.340 You had two of the wettest winters we've ever had in Southern California.

00:24:52.740 They're saying that's where the vegetation grew, and you've had kind of a drought now.

00:24:56.800 But this is also not building where people haven't been built before.

00:25:00.560 Remember, a lot of them are saying, well, they're building where, you know, heretofore, the reason these things are burning down, you're putting in areas.

00:25:09.300 I want to remind people, this is just our cameraman, Ben.

00:25:12.060 He's just wandering around, and everywhere he turns, it's more destruction than the last.

00:25:17.200 Folks, remember a couple weeks ago, this was an inferno.

00:25:22.760 This was an out-of-control inferno.

00:25:26.880 The reason you had so few deaths, they went around, and people just, they just took off.

00:25:32.540 They just, look at this right here.

00:25:33.880 This is amazing.

00:25:34.640 If you're watching at home, and if you're listening on the podcast, you've got to get the footage of this.

00:25:41.280 Really, this is good, better than I've seen on MSNBC or CNN.

00:25:46.140 It's quite, you've got some of the police tape up, some of that.

00:25:51.080 I don't believe anybody's being allowed to live in the Palisades.

00:25:54.380 I think even the houses that survived are kind of, they're not, they're kind of condemned.

00:25:59.940 The police at night are sitting there stopping looters and making sure looters don't go through.

00:26:03.680 There's not much left.

00:26:05.140 Look at that, look at it right across the street.

00:26:07.160 Totally gone.

00:26:07.740 So President Trump is going out there.

00:26:10.460 President Trump's going to helicopter in from LAX.

00:26:14.180 I'm sure there's going to be a roundtable, like in Carolina.

00:26:16.380 It's normally what happens, a roundtable.

00:26:17.700 You meet officials, local, you hear about it.

00:26:21.100 I can tell you that Melania Trump, knowing her friends and knowing LA, and Donald J. Trump, knowing his friends,

00:26:30.220 they're going to be gobsmacked on this one.

00:26:32.280 It was hard enough to comprehend the issues of the flood today in North Carolina,

00:26:37.140 but this is next level of just total and complete destruction.

00:26:41.720 House after house after house.

00:26:44.580 This is like the firebombing.

00:26:46.700 This is like the firebombing in Tokyo in 1945 with nothing standing.

00:26:52.000 Our Amanda Head is out there.

00:26:54.660 We're going to get her situation.

00:26:55.820 She's obviously, there are blockades everywhere. 0.98

00:26:57.880 We're going to try to get Amanda.

00:26:58.660 It's the reason President Trump's taking a helicopter.

00:27:00.260 He's President of the United States.

00:27:01.280 They clear the roads for him.

00:27:02.380 He's still taking a helicopter in.

00:27:04.740 President Trump's got a helicopter in.

00:27:06.320 He's going to be meeting with officials.

00:27:07.660 I think there could be, President Trump's very, as you know, magnanimous,

00:27:12.480 but I think there might be a sharp question or two.

00:27:14.900 He is absolutely, I can tell you, he is livid on the fact of why was there not water available to fight this?

00:27:20.480 Why was not in the hydrants?

00:27:21.700 Why was the Palisades, you know, $117 million, $117 million gallon reservoir was not filled,

00:27:30.340 was empty because of a cosmetic things they were doing for over a year to a, on a, on a lid, on a covering, a tarp.

00:31:01.700 Mann.

00:31:04.840 Here's what I would like to do.

00:31:06.060 I want to replay.

00:31:07.720 If Ben, the cameraman, can give me the live shot right there.

00:31:10.860 What I would like to do, if Denver can reboot, I want people to go back and want to see this fire.

00:31:15.200 The exact same thing we saw in the open.

00:31:16.780 Tell me when it's up and ready.

00:31:18.000 I want to replay that.

00:31:19.640 You get to see the Inferno.

00:31:20.640 This is an Inferno.

00:31:21.800 Okay, let's go ahead and play.

00:31:22.700 I want to, let's cut to it right now.

00:31:24.340 See what, see what causes.

00:31:27.320 All of PCH is on fire right now.

00:31:30.720 There is fierce wind down power lines.

00:31:35.380 Power poles toppled over.

00:31:39.980 Things are exploding.

00:31:42.180 Gas lines are on fire.

00:31:44.160 Flames are coming back over PCH.

00:31:49.280 They're being blown by fierce winds.

00:31:51.780 It is like driving through hell itself down here.

00:31:56.840 Literally through hell.

00:31:58.900 This is madness down here.

00:32:00.980 These homes are on fire, and you can feel the heat from the flames, even from inside your car.

00:32:06.540 It is insane down here.

00:32:08.560 Okay, if we get, let's reboot the, the fire NATO, or whatever you guys call it.

00:32:16.720 The, okay, what you saw right there is literally, is just down the, it's called the Palisades because it's on a rise.

00:32:24.940 Quite steep.

00:32:25.800 You drop off that rise, and you really, you go right into that area between Santa Monica and Malibu, and right towards those homes.

00:32:36.020 So just north on Pacific Coast Highway.

00:32:38.240 Just to put that previous footage in perspective, on a day like today, when you're driving north, you look to your left.

00:32:47.540 You see those houses, and there's no beach anymore.

00:32:49.820 Those houses are on stilts.

00:32:51.060 The water just breaks right underneath it.

00:32:52.660 The beach has all been eroded.

00:32:53.680 But you're 50 yards from the water, and I mean, it's a view of the, of the north part of Los Angeles, I guess, the bay, Santa Monica Bay.

00:33:04.020 And what we call, we have, you know, north, the north part of the bay is Santa Monica and Malibu.

00:33:08.160 The south part is Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, and Redondo.

00:33:12.080 But it's one of the most stunning views of the Pacific you can get.

00:33:14.780 It's just all normally calm and just stunning and sunny and incredible.

00:33:21.080 In fact, many of the car commercials on PCH, you see a lot of these car commercials that are written.

00:33:26.680 We get a little north of there.

00:33:28.140 You got that beautiful view of the Pacific and rocks.

00:33:30.660 That's where you got this neighborhood right here.

00:33:34.500 The sum total of this, I think, is going to be in $150 to $200 billion.

00:33:38.060 There's going to be some big policy decisions that have to be made.

00:33:42.180 Number one, there's an insurance, a reinsurance facility out there that's going to bankrupt.

00:33:45.840 There's going to be very tough questions asked, and they have to be asked.

00:33:50.100 You're not holding back aid and making a contingent.

00:33:54.280 And by the way, the president's plane is right over Joshua Tree.

00:33:56.920 That's in the desert right outside of Palm Springs.

00:33:59.280 The president should land in LEX.

00:34:01.700 Given these headwinds in about 10 or 15 minutes, we will cut to the pool feed there.

00:34:06.900 I'm sure the president is going to say a few words and meet some of the dignitaries.

00:34:11.960 Amanda Hedge trying to work her way in. 1.00

00:34:13.820 And we're lucky to get Ben there.

00:34:15.660 Ben, our cameraman, is doing an incredible job.

00:34:18.440 It was easier for Ben just to put the camera on his shoulders and just hoof it in.

00:34:22.560 Amanda's still a little ways out, and they got one blockade after another.

00:34:25.320 Remember, these homes right now, like I said, one of the most, how do I say, elite neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles,

00:34:34.600 although not garish, very low-keyed, very understated by some of the wealthiest people in town

00:34:40.220 who are more of the understated types, don't want to live in Beverly Hills or Bel Air.

00:34:45.520 One of the problems they've had immediately after this was looting.

00:34:48.140 The police have put this in shutdown.

00:34:49.860 I believe that even the houses that stand, and there are very few that made it through here,

00:34:55.020 I think most of those have not been described as uninhabitable.

00:34:58.220 You can't get in because the police have kind of barricaded everything.

00:35:00.680 Amanda Hedge now is working her way through one checkpoint after the other to get here. 1.00

00:35:05.420 She should be here, at least for part of it.

00:35:08.300 The president of the United States, and they clear the highway for Secret Service,

00:35:11.680 and the president's there with his motorcade.

00:35:13.740 They're not doing it today.

00:35:14.640 They're going to helicopter the president in.

00:35:16.980 I think he'll go up, I would assume, Pally High, a little football field there on Sunset.

00:35:22.980 Look at this destruction.

00:35:24.240 It's actually breathtaking.

00:35:26.640 Can we play the tornado, the tornadic, I call it tornadic activity.

00:35:32.040 Let's go and play this.

00:35:33.280 Some of it's sound, some of it's not.

00:35:34.360 You'll see how the hills were burning.

00:35:36.840 Let's go and play it.

00:35:38.240 Take a look at this fire tornado spotted above the Palisades Fire this morning.

00:35:42.820 This was captured by Air 7.

00:35:44.900 Just a wild view there.

00:36:01.720 Just keep it right on there.

00:36:03.140 That is when the fire starts burning so hot, it creates really tornadic activity.

00:36:14.740 This is what you had in those first couple of days at the Palisades Fire.

00:36:18.700 It took weeks to contain this fire.

00:36:21.060 Right now, in the Southern California area, we have additional fires that have started because of the high winds.

00:36:28.940 Now, anybody that's lived out there, the Santa Ana winds are kind of the winds that don't come off the ocean.

00:36:33.520 The ocean, when they come in off the ocean, which is 90, I don't know, 5% of the time, it's moisture.

00:36:39.960 Oftentimes, you'll live in L.A.

00:36:42.920 And people are quite surprised when you're there for the summer.

00:36:44.920 It's called June Crud.

00:36:47.280 It's very overcast every day until about noon, until those – until, you know, as the desert heats up and it sucks the moisture in off the ocean.

00:36:54.520 You have this kind of overcast that doesn't burn off until noon or later.

00:37:01.780 But oftentimes, you have what they call Santa Ana.

00:37:04.180 That's coming in from the desert side out to sea. 0.55

00:37:08.400 And that's where you have these super high winds.

00:37:10.680 The winds that we – the hurricane-level winds, I mean, they were 80 or 90 miles per hour.

00:37:16.620 Our own Grace Chung lives down in the further south Orange County Beach area, the Huntington, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach area.

00:37:26.740 And the activity down there, they were also in the fire zone.

00:37:30.120 That's normally a place, particularly Laguna Beach and Laguna has burned up on several occasions.

00:37:35.640 You see, Ben, our photographer, just absolutely incredible destruction.

00:37:40.580 President Trump is going to have some frank conversations today.

00:37:44.520 And he has to have frank conversations.

00:37:47.100 The American taxpayers, that would be you, are going to be asked to – this is over and above FEMA.

00:37:52.940 This is a major catastrophe in one of the biggest real estate markets in the country and, quite frankly, in the heart of a couple of industries.

00:38:02.760 Do we have a – yeah.

00:38:03.580 Can we – let's get a full shot of that.

00:38:04.900 You can go ahead and drop the fire part of it.

00:38:06.740 Let's see the full shot of this.

00:38:07.720 Pretty impressive.

00:38:10.800 And the president's a few minutes out.

00:38:12.700 I want to thank the guys at Birch Gold, the team at Birch Gold.

00:38:15.160 We've been for the last couple of days doing live reports.

00:38:18.540 Birchgold.com.

00:38:20.240 There's going to be turbulence.

00:38:21.360 And I don't mean natural turbulence.

00:38:23.300 I mean the turbulence that comes from capital markets in the economy.

00:38:27.440 Remember, we have $300 trillion borrowed worldwide.

00:38:30.700 I keep saying we're about to have the world's biggest margin call.

00:38:33.340 When that happens – and I realize gold's close to an all-time high.

00:38:37.860 I got that.

00:38:38.600 But you have to – this is why you have to get smart.

00:38:41.200 You have to read our macro, which is the end of the dollar empire.

00:38:44.400 And you have to talk to Philip Patrick and the team about the micro.

00:38:46.920 You make your own decisions.

00:38:47.980 You're free men and free women. 0.99

00:38:50.460 But I think it helps to understand why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of mankind's history.

00:38:55.600 Just check it out.

00:38:57.060 Make yourself smart.

00:38:57.980 That's what this show is about.

00:39:00.240 I'll tell you.

00:39:00.660 I haven't seen – I am actually – Ben, you're doing a fantastic – Ben hoofed it in.

00:39:04.160 So our photographer – and look, there's no people – this was a town of about 20,000, 25,000 people.

00:39:13.340 I mean it was quite – it was quite, you know, obviously active, but it was a fairly good size.

00:39:18.680 That would be a sizable community anywhere else.

00:39:21.040 Of course, in the megalopolis of Los Angeles, it was quite tiny and quite small.

00:39:25.340 It felt very intimate.

00:39:26.340 That's what people liked about it.

00:39:27.440 And they had very strict housing concern, you know, the ability to build.

00:39:35.160 Some of the South Bay beaches, they've actually taken these old beautiful craftsmen houses, which Los Angeles is famous for,

00:39:41.740 torn them down and built these mega complexes that are just horrific looking.

00:39:48.000 Look at this right here.

00:39:50.120 One of the best schools in all of Southern California.

00:39:53.120 Catholic school, right?

00:39:53.900 Corpus Christi, the Catholic school there.

00:39:56.340 Absolutely destroyed.

00:39:58.000 Stunning.

00:40:01.820 On network?

00:40:02.640 Okay, good.

00:40:03.180 Fine.

00:40:03.540 Thank you.

00:40:04.040 That's so terrific.

00:40:05.000 Amanda Head, who actually co-hosts the show with the great John Solomon.

00:40:08.720 Amanda – people – Amanda was, I think, Miss Auburn.

00:40:12.300 She's a good Southern girl. 0.95

00:40:13.220 She went out to L.A.

00:40:14.120 I knew her years ago when she was really one of the first conservatives in Hollywood that was actually making us think about being a conservative.

00:40:21.740 She's very proud about it.

00:40:22.740 She knew Andrew Barker quite well.

00:40:25.120 Amanda was one of the people that were – she was an aspiring actress, I think, and musician at the time.

00:40:30.740 And was making a big deal about the pressures in Hollywood to conform to the liberal agenda.

00:40:35.700 She's now the co-host of Just the News with John Solomon.

00:40:39.220 Six o'clock hour, we'll be here.

00:40:41.360 We have Ben the photographer.

00:40:42.520 Amanda's going to be there shortly, is getting you some footage and get to see what President Trump's about to see.

00:40:48.780 President Trump's very familiar with Southern California.

00:40:50.700 President Trump owns a magnificent house in Beverly Hills.

00:40:54.500 Doesn't spend much time there because he's traveling obviously now.

00:40:57.640 But even in the old days, didn't spend a lot of time there.

00:41:00.520 Did The Apprentice out of New York.

00:41:02.080 You know, Trump's a New York guy.

00:41:03.860 Queens in Manhattan, he's a New York guy.

00:41:06.680 Although, tonight, he's going to be in Vegas at his hotel.

00:41:11.220 We will do live coverage.

00:41:12.700 We've got Seagal Chata and the great David Zier are going to give us coverage tomorrow morning.

00:41:18.720 We're going to come live at 10 o'clock.

00:41:20.800 There's going to be a rally.

00:41:21.860 President Trump's out there for a thank you rally for Nevada.

00:41:24.240 And I've got to tell you, those people deserve it.

00:41:25.980 Look at this destruction right here.

00:41:27.100 Just incredible.

00:41:28.520 Real America's Voice is going to be at – Real America's Voice is going to be at the rally tomorrow.

00:41:33.540 We're going to do the pregame in the morning.

00:41:35.840 Also, we're going to do other news.

00:41:37.140 We've got lots going on.

00:41:38.060 We're going to talk about Ukraine, Ben Harno from Rome, which is just absolutely amazing.

00:41:43.340 On Monday, Brian Glenn is going to be in Doral.

00:41:49.700 He's going to be covering the Republican conference.

00:41:51.940 President Trump's giving a keynote there at the Republican conference.

00:41:55.360 They're going to try to come together on the reconciliations bills, the tax bills, et cetera.

00:42:02.020 So this is stunning.

00:42:02.760 This is now into the Palisades Village.

00:42:06.420 This Ralph's is very, very famous.

00:42:09.500 It's the famous Ralph's.

00:42:10.940 Ralph's is a big grocery store change in Southern California.

00:42:14.700 Everybody goes there.

00:42:15.580 It's been around for, I don't know, 80 years.

00:42:18.160 This is one of the famous ones in – because it's not a high-end.

00:42:21.040 It's not like a fresh market.

00:42:22.200 They have those too.

00:42:22.900 But Ralph's is kind of – I don't want to say down and dirty, but like an AP or Safeway.

00:42:28.180 But it's beloved in the Palisades, burned to the ground.

00:42:31.640 The whole area in this little village right here, which were coffee shops and boutiques, gone, completely consumed by fire.

00:42:38.820 They had the 100-year-old building that they had, the Starbucks in the lobby.

00:42:43.660 The Starbucks is one of those famous Starbucks around, gone, completely gone.

00:42:47.140 That's what President Trump's going to see.

00:42:48.760 And President Trump's going to ask a couple of three questions.

00:42:50.860 Like, number one, how did this happen?

00:42:53.780 And was this homeless people that said it?

00:42:56.100 This happened because the power lines weren't cut off?

00:42:59.500 You know, what caused the combustion?

00:43:01.720 You know, there are wildfires all the time.

00:43:03.920 How did this wildfire catch?

00:43:06.120 How did it go from house to house?

00:43:07.640 Where was the fire department?

00:43:09.400 The fire department made big demands of Mayor Bass and saying, hey, you're making such cuts.

00:43:15.940 Bass, the mayor, was in Ghana at the time, and she knew there were high winds.

00:43:19.900 There had been warnings a couple of days before.

00:43:21.280 She still went anyway.

00:43:23.180 The, um, so it was, there are so many unanswered questions.

00:43:26.520 So very differently than the trip to South, to North Carolina today is the one to California

00:43:32.180 where President Trump, and I will tell you politically, I think these guys are on the

00:43:36.820 cusp of, uh, this could be the red pill situation because I think a lot of people have been progressive

00:43:41.540 years saying, hey, you know what?

00:43:43.000 I stood for things that didn't make sense.

00:43:45.260 President Trump calls this a revolution of common sense.

00:43:47.740 President Trump is shutting down every DEI program and, and, and everything in the country,

00:43:52.660 every government entity.

00:43:53.740 They're running around trying, they're running around trying to, they're running around trying

00:43:56.880 to change the names of DEI now to be, you know, like occupational education, things like

00:44:02.820 that.

00:44:03.420 Change it.

00:44:03.760 President Trump's not going to be thwarted in this.

00:44:06.200 President Trump has as great a command of this government as anybody since FDR.

00:44:11.680 I've never seen, I know President Trump very well.

00:44:14.340 I know the situation we had in the first term.

00:44:16.100 I can tell you, he is at another level right now.

00:44:19.240 And the world leaders respect him, fear him, holy man, he is just on a roll.

00:44:25.260 The performance today, what he did today in North Carolina, Ben Berkman was out there

00:44:29.180 10 days ago.

00:44:29.800 Those people were at wit's end.

00:44:31.980 They felt they had been abandoned and they had been abandoned.

00:44:35.180 Biden had abandoned them.

00:44:36.640 And look, in the first four days of President Trump's, uh, second term, just extraordinary.

00:44:42.680 On the, uh, on the fifth day, really four and a half.

00:44:45.200 He only had a half a day to work on, uh, Monday.

00:44:47.480 Short commercial break, we're going to be back in the war room, live coverage from Los

00:44:51.780 Angeles.

00:44:52.120 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:44:57.380 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:45:01.900 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email

00:45:07.120 and tracking our movement across the internet.

00:45:10.240 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence,

00:45:14.700 and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this

00:45:20.420 governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:45:23.080 In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will

00:45:27.280 soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:45:31.100 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even

00:45:36.880 vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:45:41.200 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:45:47.420 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission

00:45:51.500 to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility

00:45:57.420 of programmable money.

00:45:59.920 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:46:05.500 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:46:07.520 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:46:17.040 beef liver being our flagship product.

00:46:24.460 vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.

00:46:29.020 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients

00:46:34.900 far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin
