00:02:40.060Now, the challenge we've had the last couple of years is we don't really, we're starting to blur the lines between DEI hires and who is there because they're qualified.
00:02:54.240We're getting to the point, it's tough for the average person to tell the difference.
00:02:58.240Now, for those of you that don't know, a DEI hire is when they prioritize hiring somebody based on their gender or the color of their skin rather than how good of a job that they do.
00:03:08.840I call this the ultimate simping, saying that we need special treatment because of our gender.
00:03:14.220And as most of you know, I have been on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years.
00:03:18.360But I need to tell you guys about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about.
00:03:22.960It's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and OnlyFans hoes causing the societal issues that we discuss on this show.
00:03:30.180Did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors?
00:03:35.300This often includes estrogen from birth control.
00:03:38.260The average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week.
00:03:42.140That's five grams of plastic a week on average.
00:03:44.440So it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what it was 50 years ago.
00:03:48.540Testosterone levels decline 1% a year, and without a course correction, we are headed towards extinction.
00:03:54.660No matter how based you are, you need to be naturally boosting your testosterone.

00:07:52.060According to the Department of Water and Power, all 114 water storage facilities were filled, but heavy use of fire hydrants depleted the supply.
00:08:02.200Now, I want to talk about how also the ladies are going to play victim.
00:08:06.540How many of these women that are complaining in this voted for Democrat policies?
00:08:11.480They will vote for Democrat policies on abortion until their city literally burns to the ground.
00:08:23.020The extreme conditions, compounded by high winds, keeping firefighting aircraft grounded.
00:08:29.820We all know that this has been an unprecedented event.
00:08:33.480We also know that fire hydrants are not constructed to deal with this type of massive devastation and that the number one problem, especially on Wednesday, was the fact that we weren't able to do the air support because of the winds.
00:08:51.440Bass now also having to defend the decision to reduce the fire department's 2024-2025 budget.
00:08:58.280Last summer, she approved cutting more than $17 million from it.
00:09:02.400Last summer, saying in a memo, these budgetary reductions have adversely affected the department's ability to maintain core operations.
00:09:12.320Bass says the cuts did not impact fighting these fires.
00:09:16.700There were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.
00:16:54.360Because you called the Fire Department both city and county fire.
00:16:58.340Part of the whole first responder infrastructure.
00:17:01.480That has been one of the targets of politicians from 2024 to take money away from and deplete those resources.
00:17:08.800Supposedly under this grand scheme of we're going to reinvest it in the community.
00:17:12.440Well, the community right now needs exactly what they don't have, which is the staffing levels for fire and for first responders, for law enforcement to be able to safely evacuate and to be able to fight these fires.
00:17:25.480I mean, a lot of it is going to be obviously the nature is going to is having its way with us right now.
00:17:30.340But at some point when humans can successfully contain the fire and secure the area and all that stuff and care for the evacuated, it's a humanitarian crisis that's going to unfold right now as we're seeing it.
00:17:44.280And we don't have the resources we should have.
00:17:46.980And those were political decisions that happened years ago.
00:17:50.120Talk to me about the water issue because I found this very disturbing.
00:17:54.120You've had folks on the ground fighting the fires.
00:17:56.660They're plugged into the fire hydrants, but they're saying there's no pressure to push water because the tanks up on the hills, which is how you create the pressure, have not been filled adequately.
00:18:07.860You're telling me that that was supposed to have been addressed in 2014 and that's still an issue right now?
00:18:14.340Does that sit on Karen Bass's shoulders?
00:18:58.000And this is something both the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, LAPD, had to know that because both agencies are missing roughly 1,500 sworn officers each, that's over 3,000.
00:19:10.280And so any major event like this is going to generate a lot of demand for personnel over prolonged periods of time.
00:19:17.580That's an automatic call to the National Guard.
00:19:19.840Hey, we need a lot of additional troops to do some basic activities because now they're taking resources away from areas where they're still needed.
00:19:27.920Like you're pulling deputies from a contract city and who's going to answer 9-1-1 and go out when everyone's out at the fire?
00:19:35.580So this is why personnel, the staffing is critical at this time.
00:19:40.280Alex, we so appreciate your time today and your insight.
00:20:27.000Warned in the weeks before the devastating Palisades fire that the decision to cut the department by nearly 18 million would diminish its ability to prepare and respond to large scale emergencies.
00:20:40.780The budget reduction approved last year by Mayor Karen Bass was mostly absorbed by leaving many administration jobs at the fire department unfilled.
00:20:51.940But that left about seven million to be cut from its overtime budget, which was earmarked for training, fire prevention and other key functions.
00:21:01.560The reduction has severely limited the department's capacity to prepare, train for and respond.
00:21:07.540And the L.A. fire department were used to pay for FAA mandated pilot training and helicopter coordination staffing for wildfire suppression.
00:21:19.000And the memo said Mayor Bass said Wednesday evening that the budget cuts did not have an impact on the L.A. fire department's response to the wildfires.
00:21:28.920I am confident that it did not, Bass answered in a response to the fire chief's memo and suggested fire spending would exceed the amounts budgeted for the fiscal year.
00:21:39.800Bass also dismissed the criticism that she was on an overseas trip while the fires started during the intense winds that had been forecast.
00:21:49.000Several days in advance, although I was not physically here, I was in contact with many of the individuals that are standing here throughout the entire time.
00:21:56.920Bass said I was on the phone on the plane almost every hour of the flight.
00:22:00.780She said the fire chief's memo was presented last month to the board of fire commissioners.
00:22:05.580A panel of mayoral appointees who oversaid changes to air operations section impact the department's ability to adhere to current automatic and mutual agreements, provide air ambulance services, and quickly respond to woodland fires during woodland fires with water dropping helicopters.
00:22:24.800The memo also highlighted other programs that would suffer with the cuts, including the disaster response section, which funds the bulldozer teams and cuts breaks and control lines around wildfires, and the critical incident planning and training section, which develops plans for major emergencies.
00:22:44.800Fire officials downplayed the potential impact the cuts would have on a major emergency and referred questions to Chief Crowley, who was unavailable due to another fire igniting in Hollywood's Hills late Wednesday.
00:22:59.480Any fire department, even our side, is stretched thin, which is why we call in our mutual aid partners, said L.A. Fire Department spokesman Jacob Rabe.
00:23:08.940The fire started Tuesday, and fanned by powerful winds, destroyed hundreds of buildings, and burned about 15,800 acres.
00:23:21.520It was one of five wildfires burning in Southern California.
00:23:27.860The Los Angeles Fire Chief, Kristen Crowley, started her position in 2022.
00:23:35.080She's the first openly LBTGQ woman to hold this office.
00:23:41.540Right away, a big deal was made about this, and she made it her priority to hire a more diverse fire department.
00:23:49.680She was hired after the previous fire chief had to step down due to allegations that he didn't address sexist and racist behavior within the fire department.
00:24:00.700When talking about Kristen's nomination, former L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti said at the time that he nominated Crowley to the position, not due to her gender, but due to her abilities and skill with public safety challenges.
00:24:16.060So, again, the ladies, you know, when you see women being burned alive in New York, what is happening is we are eating what we voted for, because most women would rather have abortion than have a proper fire department.
00:24:41.380So, again, criminals being taken off the street, and at some point, the men are going to say, you know what, you ladies are on your own, because you keep voting for these policies.
00:24:55.000You keep taking money out of our taxes for these policies that you guys voted for.
00:25:04.720And, you know, again, they said that the previous chief was sexist.
00:32:00.280As if all of this is not enough, it turns out that in recent years, L.A.'s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority, but diversity.
00:32:11.940Diversity is at least among the top priorities for the department.
00:32:18.780She's been fire chief since 2022, and in an interview shortly after she was elevated to this position, she talked about being super inspired to make the fire department more diverse.
00:32:42.020During the firefight has been a lack of water at hydrants on the Palisades fire.
00:32:47.220Tonight, that's getting the attention of community leaders all across California.
00:32:51.180They're all coming to the realization that residential hydrant systems just may not be enough to snuff a fire out when it comes to battling these massive wildfires.
00:33:01.840NBC Bears' Tom Jensen is in Oakland tonight, where station closures are already top of mind.
00:33:07.800And now there's this water supply issue.
00:33:09.800Everybody in Oakland has been talking about the closure of this fire station, Fire Station 25, and another one in the Oakland Hills.
00:33:19.100But tonight, they're also talking about these fire hydrants, especially in light of what's happening in Southern California.
00:33:27.460...to reach a distant fire hydrant because the nearest one has little or no pressure, a serious problem that persists on the raging wildfire,
00:33:36.240one that crews, including this one from San Francisco, keep running into.
00:33:40.960Hydrants that aren't working properly and have extremely low or sporadic pressure.
00:33:45.800You know what your incoming pressure is?
00:33:47.300It's not between 10 and 50, but it's real.
00:34:16.840L.A. County leaders say the hydrant systems were made to fight house fires, not large wildfires.
00:34:23.360A firefight with multiple fire hydrants drawing water from the system for several hours is unsustainable.
00:34:28.920The head of Oakland's firefighter union is working to save two temporarily closed firehouses in the hills and has now been tracking the hydrant problems in Southern California.
00:34:38.200Those are our lifelink in order to get water to the pump to be able to put out fires.
00:34:43.660So, yeah, I'm definitely very concerned.
00:34:45.640Union President Seth Olyar says Oakland firefighters personally work to maintain hydrants and report broken ones to East Bay Mud, which is responsible for all of the hydrants across the East Bay.
00:34:56.600The L.A. situation really highlights how fragile some of the infrastructure is here and also how dependent we are as firefighters on the water supply system.
00:35:11.560We reached out to East Bay Mud to talk about the status of all the fire hydrants across the East Bay, but a spokesperson said nobody was available to talk tonight.
00:35:20.560In Oakland, Tom Jensen, NBC Bay Area News.
00:35:26.600So, let's look at some other DEI hire women failing in positions of power.
00:35:41.380Toronto Police Superintendent Stacey Clark was demoted to ranks for a cheating scandal in August of 2024.
00:35:48.940She was caught giving black constables test answers and other information before promotional opportunities to increase the chances of them moving up the ladder.
00:36:01.600Clark pled guilty to seven counts of misconduct and was demoted to the rank staff sergeant.
00:36:07.460In 24 months, she will be able to reapply for the rank of superintendent.
00:36:33.000Do you think he would be able to reapply in 24 months, two years?
00:36:38.280In emotional and raw testimony, a Toronto Police Superintendent facing discipline apologized for helping constables cheat on a promotional exam.
00:36:54.480But as John Woodward reports, the hearing also delved into how unfair the hiring process was to black candidates to begin with and how a plan to fix it was canceled without warning.
00:37:05.300The first part of Superintendent Stacey Clark's testimony was an apology for giving six constables questions in advance of a promotional exam.
00:37:13.460She told the hearing it was tremendously important for me to take responsibility for what I had done.
00:37:19.980But the tribunal spent much more time on what Clark called the why, and it came down to a systemic failure to promote black officers.
00:37:26.820The often benefited white men within the service, there was.
00:37:35.980Again, why do women get to give a why?
00:37:41.280Only when men do something wrong, they just say they did something wrong.
00:37:45.160They don't give a reason or an explanation.
00:37:47.320They're not given the benefit of the doubt.
00:37:49.780But women can literally help participants cheat on a test and be given a slap on the wrist because of DEI.
00:38:03.720Nepotism, there was favoritism, and all types of other issues.
00:38:08.840It's common practice that senior officers have subordinate officers whom they mentor and therefore share interview questions with.
00:38:17.760The proposed solution that Clark supported and was adopted by Toronto's Police Service Board in 2021, a new procedure that involved providing the questions in advance to everyone.
00:38:27.140It was based on feedback from 500 Toronto Police officers.
00:38:33.600The Toronto Police Service Board oversees the police, but the tribunal heard even though the board approved the plan, the police service didn't put it into practice.
00:38:42.060In a report, Professor Wendell Agitay wrote before its implementation, the TPS made an executive decision without warning to suspend the new process and revert to the original unfair practice that the members identified in the external review.
00:38:55.460It stands to reason that had the TPS implemented the new promotional process, Superintendent Clark would not have felt the desperate need to flatten the playing field by providing black officers with the interview questions.
00:39:06.220It's not clear why the policy was never adopted.
00:39:09.080Somebody along the way decided that they weren't going to implement all of it.
00:39:14.300Supporters who arrived on a bus stood by Clark.
00:39:16.900I think instead of demoting her, they should give her a ward.
00:39:22.220Why are people so stupid? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Fire her!
00:39:31.640Okay, this is on Twitter a lot. Whenever I debate with another woman on Twitter, if I debate with a man, he never complains to me about harassment after.
00:39:51.500We all know that if you go on a debate with somebody that disagrees with you, their followers are going to troll you, your followers are going to troll them.
00:40:00.800Neither of us ask for this. This is just how it is.
00:40:04.360But the ladies have a tendency to want to guilt me into taking videos down or not responding to them while having a high-profile account or a public persona.
00:42:31.880There's too much backlash for not going to the DEI way to expect that, you know, what about the lesbian women that are there because they deserve it?
00:42:46.500Now, you question things because of all the people they force into roles that are not meant to be there.
00:42:56.020Melbourne Truckee has copped a spray from New Zealand's Defence Minister for comments he made on social media.
00:43:07.260The Minister held a press conference this afternoon and called out the online hate and misogyny levelled at the captain of a Navy ship, which ran aground in Samoa.
00:43:16.380With her Navy vessel stuck on a reef in Samoa, Commander Yvonne Gray made the call to abandon her.
00:43:24.840You know, there are just some positions I am not comfortable.
00:44:56.660But in general, we just, we don't understand violence.
00:45:07.160So I have a hard time, I hate to bring this up all the time, but that's why I keep pointing you guys to the website.
00:45:14.900Because, you know, we need 3,500 people on there or one yearly membership show in order to keep the lights on.
00:45:22.560Because, you know, I don't know if she's going to dox the guy now, but this is what, when women, when our reputation is on the line, you know, historically, in order to survive, our reputation was really important.
00:45:38.380So when our reputation is on the line, that's when women go to extreme lengths with family court, false accusations, and policing speech.
00:46:00.020This woman, we're starting, it's starting to be revealed that we're not really equipped, and a lot of us are being given jobs we don't deserve.
00:46:07.000And when that starts to get revealed, the ladies, they get mad, now they have to police the speech.
00:46:14.760It's the same reason why, you know, Candace got mad last show.
00:46:18.500Because I revealed that, hey, most of us ladies are here because we're giving an enormous advantage on social media.
00:46:25.820This isn't the most difficult job in the world.
00:46:27.880And neither of us would be here if we weren't women with men's opinions, with more right-leaning conservative opinions.
00:47:54.880The problem I have is when we're being given special handouts and everyone has to pretend they're not what they are.
00:48:03.220And by the way, guys, we are going to do a call-in show at the end of this where you can call in and say if you've ever been discriminated against because of your gender, your race.
00:48:16.200And I want to know what happened and how it affected the department.
