LEO TERRELL (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): You cannot deny the fact that this is political. This is my evacuation clothes, I mean I'm just telling you this is how I've been dressed all day. I live right next to Santa Monica, and, so I'm waiting to determine whether or not I have to move. Let me be as clear as possible: I just saw Karen Bass give an idiotic press conference. I want people of Palisades to know this, 20% of all the hydrants do not have water. Over 200. Why is she in Africa? Why is she on a junket tour? It makes no sense, and I can tell you this right now, that DEI nonsense that that LA Fire Department chief supports, that stuff is going to end January 2025. To have DEI, to have social justice in the fire department, this is ridiculous, Sean. And you know what, zero containment after two days, I'll say this out loud, they have no intention of putting out these fires. They're going to let them burn out. This is crazy, people are on pins and needles. I've never in my lifetime watched politicians, Democrats, who own this state, allowing this city to burn like this, only because they're allowed to because they get reelected over and over again. Citizens of Los Angeles and California, you've got to wake up. This is ridiculous.
