ROB FINNERTY (HOST): And what's happening right now in Southern California is absolutely terrible. But please do not be fooled by what you're hearing from the media. These are not once-in-a-generation wildfires. This is not climate change. 

This is death by DEI once again, just like we saw last week in New Orleans with Ann Kirkpatrick, the DEI hire police chief who didn't know the city had barriers in storage that could have been placed on Bourbon Street to prevent that madman from doing what he did on New Year's Eve.

In Los Angeles, it's the exact same story death by DEI, this time with their brand new fire chief. This coming right from the city's website. Kristin Crowley is the 19th fire chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, and with her wife and children by her side, she took the oath of office in March of 2022, becoming the first female and LGBTQ fire chief in Los Angeles history. Well, isn't that just wonderful. The first LGBTQ fire chief, something we can all hope to have in our own towns one day. The mayor even had her marching in the LA Pride parade in front of the fire engines. OK. Never mind that she's incompetent. And when you hear about her three year strategic plan for the city, America's second largest city, never once does she talk about preventing wildfires mitigation.
