JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): Right now, I think the most important thing that we can do is provide mutual assistance, which as I understand it, Dana, I'm hearing that they're having trouble even coordinating with the people in California, and that you know, this has to be incredibly disturbing to people who pay some of the highest taxes in the nation. To have empty fire hydrants and empty reservoir, no water pressure and you know, it's just, it is just a disaster.
And, you know how to lose billions for the homeless, and all kinds of money for illegals, but you can't manage the forestry and you can't take care -- take something that's predictable. And the question now is whether Americans in other states should be paying the bill for their policy, which really ignored the fundamental prevention efforts.
DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Especially if those policies aren't going to change.
PIRRO: Right.
