The northeast would also join you and I am sure your neighbor states to your north will also join! Let's see how far the MAGA states can go without tax funds and the economic machine of these states!
I agree completely! I would move to cali if y'all made big moves to distance yourself from this disaster of a country. This country is an asylum and the crazies are in charge.
I’m convinced that the lack of proper education is one of the reasons our society is so divided. It’s a known fact that the less educated are more susceptible to radicalization.
Of course your right. That's by design. It's the reason they take all the books away in Republican states. Keep people uneducated and you can control them. Theyl never look into the facts because they don't understand anything ..
Exactly. I have been saying this for years, the dumbing down of America. Keep them just smart enough to work in the factories but dumb enough to know what we are doing. Why do you think cursive was banned? The Constitution was written in cursive. Can't fight what you cannot read.
NEVER forget that blue states pay the majority of taxes in this country & they subsidize poor broke red states. States run by Republicans are the poorest, least productive, they contribute the least to our society based on innovation, tax revenue, profits & productivity. Red states are the least educated, have the worst health results, highest maternity mortality, highest child mortality, the poorest, the worst places for raising productive happy children. Why would a state like California ever let terrible bigot Republicans run it. If conservatives want to play games then blue states should withhold their tax revenue.
Also, the LA fires are NOT in the forest. Those brush lands grow back within a year after fires......with little precipitation. But yes, CA has a huge amount of forest lands maintained by the Feds and privately owned lands.
Imagine if when Florida gets battered by hurricanes, the dems say, "we'd love to give aide... but Ron Desantis needs to resign, and better hurricane infrastructure and green energy initiatives need to be made." They'd lose their shit.
California government said we will build back better then we were before WE started the fire.. this is another land grab just Luke maui.. 15 min city coming soon to LA..
Florida was hit by hurricanes, and the DNC leadership refused to send aid. North Carolina was hit by hurricanes and the DNC leadership refused to send aid, FEMA destroyed donated supplies. The Dems are part of the problem. It doesn't magically get better voting for an opposite party.
Use of a rake and a drip torch together could make a great difference for reducing the impacts of wildfire in California and the West. The National Interagency Fire Center reported that during 2017, only half a million acres were treated with prescribed fire in the West, while 7.4 million acres (almost 15 times more) burned in wildfires. In the Southeastern U.S., where there is a long-standing tradition of prescribed burning, only 2 million acres burned in wildfires while over 5.5 million were burned using prescribed fire. From ucanrdotedu.
@ Not all areas are suitable for prescribed burning. CALFIRE is one of if not THE best wildland fire agencies in the country. They do an excellent job. However, no agency can prevent all fires.
In a talk to an Israeli group in July, 2010, Sheldon Adelson (Trump Mega Donor) said he wished he had served in the Israeli Army rather the U.S. military-and that he hoped his young son will come back to Israel and “be a sniper for the IDF,” a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. (TH-cam video of speech) “I am not Israeli. The uniform that I wore in the military, unfortunately, was not an Israeli uniform. It was an American uniform, although my wife was in the IDF and one of my daughters was in the IDF … our two little boys, one of whom will be bar mitzvahed tomorrow, hopefully he’ll come back- his hobby is shooting - and he’ll come back and be a sniper for the IDF,” Adelson said at the event. “All we care about is being good Zionists, being good citizens of Israel, because even though I am not Israeli born, Israel is in my heart,” he said toward the end of his talk.

Exactly! I live in F-ing Oklahoma and even though it would hurt, I would love to see ALL the Blue states unite around California and completely stop paying federal taxes. Let the Red States find out the hard way that it isn’t their policies that are working but the progressive policies of Democratic States are the ones that ACTUALLY DO work.

Yes, and We failed to help him win the Dem Primary TWICE. The Vast Majority of his supporters who loved Bernie's populist platform and Grassroots campaign, wouldn't volunteer even 4 hours hours to help him win the Primary, instead leaving it to someone else to do the work necessary for a Grassroots campaign to succeed. Until ENOUGH citizens understand that, IF they want to live in a democracy and have a government that works for All Americans, THEY are the person most responsible to make that happen, WE will continue to allow oligarchs to exploit Us and their purchased politicians to ignore Us. It's not too late to join the Fight! Get inspired and organized by joining "Our Revolution." Bernie founded it in 2016, so Berniecrats could continue to organize and fight for populist policies and to elect/re-elect populist representatives.

Yea this is a super disturbing aspect that truly relates to Kyle's point of mental illness. The amount of social media posts I've seen from "Christians" being smug and happy about these fires is next level psychopathic. I don't know how we come back from this level of mental illness.
As a former volunteer FF, I encourage people to learn about fire hydrant types and their function. You can have all of the fresh water on earth, and trying to flow high volumes from multiple hydrants on a branch can cause water hammer and collapse the pipes. There is a hell of a lot of math happening at the pump panel.
To calculate how long 117 million gallons of water will last for 19 fire trucks continuously putting out water, we need to know the water usage rate per truck. Typically, a fire truck can pump around 1,000 gallons of water per minute (though this can vary). Assuming an average of 1,000 gallons per minute per truck: Total water usage per minute for 19 trucks = 1,000 gallons × 19 trucks = 19,000 gallons per minute. Total time the water will last = 117,000,000 gallons ÷ 19,000 gallons per minute. That gives: 117,000,000 ÷ 19,000 = 6,158 minutes. To convert this into hours: 6,158 minutes ÷ 60 minutes = approximately 102.63 hours. So, 117 million gallons of water would last for about 102.6 hours or roughly 4.3 days for 19 fire trucks operating continuously.
@@jonnyrockets7900 I've been paged out at 5pm to a structure fire, and returned home around 2 am. Some of that time is putting trucks back in service, but most is trying to cool down the scene so it doesn't reignite when you leave, which happens. Yes, we used foam. Insurance required a security guard or FF post watch until the next day. That's for one structure. People don't get it until they do it.
I studied counseling/social work in school. Conservatism may not officially be in the DSM, but it really ought to be. I’ve been trying to tell people the right is mentally ill for a long time, and prior to this point it was just Vaush who had a platform that agreed with me. I really hope Kyle keeps using this talking point because it’s so fucking true.
But I don't think it is conservatism. I am an European conservative, and the only American politician I would even consider is Bernie Sanders (and he is way to the right of where I am). I think the problem is your culture being way too focused on individualism and "what do I get from that?". Humans are meant to stick together regardless when a disaster happens. It is why Neanderthals and others died off while Homosapiens thrived.

Abrahamic religion is designed to facilitate a small minority dominating the masses. Our historical wealth inequality is a function of this process. America needs a new enlightenment so that the backwardness of Abrahamism cannot hold progress back like it has for millennia. No one is criticizing this true nature of Abrahamism. The only way to be left wing is to stand against Abrahamism. Secular atheism is a weak alternative that cannot offer a legitimate criticism of Abrahamism, only an enlightened critique can.

Here's a poem that reflects on the darker aspects often associated with extreme political ideologies: --- In shadows cast by flickering light, Lurks the specter of the evil right. Where fear masquerades as might, And truth is twisted, out of sight. A doctrine wrapped in dark intent, Promises power, a false ascent. With words of hate and scornful bent, They craft a world where love is spent. They whisper tales of ancient days, Where might makes right in cruel ways, Forging chains from prejudice and hate, To bind the free and segregate. But know this, traveler of the night, The evil right, though cloaked in might, Is but a shadow, fear's own blight, Against the dawn's approaching light. For hope persists, in hearts and minds, Against the tide of fear that binds. With unity and love's pure sight, We'll overcome the evil right.

There have been numerous interviews and statements by LA city offials and Fire Dept. representatives who have all stated that water is not the problem and that there is plenty of water to fight fires but the problem is the pressure drops too low when so many connections on the system are open.

I do agree that they should have had more water ready, but at the end of the day, climate change makes this situation non the less devastating, and nothing could have changed the end result.

His statement djt proves to me he has never been in a Forrest .
Use of a rake and a drip torch together could make a great difference for reducing the impacts of wildfire in California and the West. The National Interagency Fire Center reported that during 2017, only half a million acres were treated with prescribed fire in the West, while 7.4 million acres (almost 15 times more) burned in wildfires. In the Southeastern U.S., where there is a long-standing tradition of prescribed burning, only 2 million acres burned in wildfires while over 5.5 million were burned using prescribed fire.
From ucanrdotedu.
@ Not all areas are suitable for prescribed burning. CALFIRE is one of if not THE best wildland fire agencies in the country. They do an excellent job. However, no agency can prevent all fires.

(TH-cam video of speech)

It was an American uniform, although my wife was in the IDF and one of my daughters was in the IDF … our two little boys, one of whom will be bar mitzvahed tomorrow, hopefully he’ll come back- his hobby is shooting - and he’ll come back and be a sniper for the IDF,” Adelson said at the event.

As a former volunteer FF, I encourage people to learn about fire hydrant types and their function. You can have all of the fresh water on earth, and trying to flow high volumes from multiple hydrants on a branch can cause water hammer and collapse the pipes. There is a hell of a lot of math happening at the pump panel.
To calculate how long 117 million gallons of water will last for 19 fire trucks continuously putting out water, we need to know the water usage rate per truck.
Typically, a fire truck can pump around 1,000 gallons of water per minute (though this can vary). Assuming an average of 1,000 gallons per minute per truck:
Total water usage per minute for 19 trucks = 1,000 gallons × 19 trucks = 19,000 gallons per minute.
Total time the water will last = 117,000,000 gallons ÷ 19,000 gallons per minute.
That gives:
117,000,000 ÷ 19,000 = 6,158 minutes.
To convert this into hours:
6,158 minutes ÷ 60 minutes = approximately 102.63 hours.
So, 117 million gallons of water would last for about 102.6 hours or roughly 4.3 days for 19 fire trucks operating continuously.
This!! I'm an engineer and I've been screaming this, but it's too much for simple minded republicans to think through
@@jonnyrockets7900 I've been paged out at 5pm to a structure fire, and returned home around 2 am. Some of that time is putting trucks back in service, but most is trying to cool down the scene so it doesn't reignite when you leave, which happens. Yes, we used foam. Insurance required a security guard or FF post watch until the next day. That's for one structure. People don't get it until they do it.
I studied counseling/social work in school. Conservatism may not officially be in the DSM, but it really ought to be. I’ve been trying to tell people the right is mentally ill for a long time, and prior to this point it was just Vaush who had a platform that agreed with me. I really hope Kyle keeps using this talking point because it’s so fucking true.
But I don't think it is conservatism. I am an European conservative, and the only American politician I would even consider is Bernie Sanders (and he is way to the right of where I am). I think the problem is your culture being way too focused on individualism and "what do I get from that?".
Humans are meant to stick together regardless when a disaster happens. It is why Neanderthals and others died off while Homosapiens thrived.

Abrahamic religion is designed to facilitate a small minority dominating the masses. Our historical wealth inequality is a function of this process. America needs a new enlightenment so that the backwardness of Abrahamism cannot hold progress back like it has for millennia. No one is criticizing this true nature of Abrahamism.

In a talk to an Israeli group in July, 2010, Sheldon Adelson (Trump Mega Donor) said he wished he had served in the Israeli Army rather the U.S. military-and that he hoped his young son will come back to Israel and “be a sniper for the IDF,” a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. (TH-cam video of speech)
“I am not Israeli. The uniform that I wore in the military, unfortunately, was not an Israeli uniform. It was an American uniform, although my wife was in the IDF and one of my daughters was in the IDF … our two little boys, one of whom will be bar mitzvahed tomorrow, hopefully he’ll come back- his hobby is shooting - and he’ll come back and be a sniper for the IDF,” Adelson said at the event.
“All we care about is being good Zionists, being good citizens of Israel, because even though I am not Israeli born, Israel is in my heart,” he said toward the end of his talk.
...thank you---all for helping to further clarify
Here's a poem that reflects on the darker aspects often associated with extreme political ideologies:
---
In shadows cast by flickering light,
Lurks the specter of the evil right.
Where fear masquerades as might,
And truth is twisted, out of sight.
A doctrine wrapped in dark intent,
Promises power, a false ascent.
With words of hate and scornful bent,
They craft a world where love is spent.
They whisper tales of ancient days,
Where might makes right in cruel ways,
Forging chains from prejudice and hate,
To bind the free and segregate.
But know this, traveler of the night,
The evil right, though cloaked in might,
Is but a shadow, fear's own blight,
Against the dawn's approaching light.
For hope persists, in hearts and minds,
Against the tide of fear that binds.
With unity and love's pure sight,
We'll overcome the evil right.
Wonderfully written and sadly true
If you wrote this,
I ♥️ you!
Wow,how true is that poem.
Wow,how true is that poem.
I watched a couple of Religious TH-cam channels from the USA and the HATE they spewed about Californians was Sickening. THANKS 🇨🇦 For sending Fire Fighters and Aid.
I bet they also claimed you can't be moral without religion. But they proved that to be a lie, didn't they?
This doesn't surprise me. I've been cynical for years. It's a tv show to me now. And yes, Stewart for President!
Edit: Apologies. Forgot to add that I hope they get funding. This situation is super f'd.
In Northern CA we’ve been seeing the efforts to clean up the brush that supports out of control fires. They’re using goats and I love it.
Same down here in SoCal. Of course, goats are no match for 80-100mph Santa Ana winds.
@ yep
Amazing animals. They will even eat poison ivy.
I love when they bring the goats to where I live in North CA.
I still can’t believe people were so ignorant to vote for this guy again
I’m glad I don’t live in America.
Good luck America you’ll need it.
Me too.
Two Devils to choose. Americans act like one is God.
While I agree, in fairness this GOPocrisy with disaster relief has nothing to do with Trump. The GOP has been doing it long before and will continue long after Trump.
I knew our country was in trouble back in '04 when Bush Jr. was re-elected.
@@absolstoryoffiction6615 Both Devils are just Mammon in different forms.
I live in North Idaho. We have 5 seasons Spring, Summer, Wild Fire, Fall, and Winter. North Idaho is a massive hub for logging. Meaning that our forests are AMAZINGLY maintained. Texas has the most wild fires per year and is number 3 for most acreage lost. California being behind Texas in both instances.
Thanks!
You’re a rock star. 💫
Can you imagine your neighbor's house on fire? Before you help, you ask them if they raked their yard the day before. Lunitics!
I think the real question is where was the water the firefighters needed lol
@nathanielwarren7155
The real question is why don't rightwingers have comprehension skills.
Those on the right can have something explained to them in very plain English using small words and spoken slowly while holding their hands like they are small children and they instantly go back to repeating the same misinformation and lies that was just explained to them to be lies and misinformation. There have been numerous interviews and statements by LA city offials and Fire Dept. representatives who have all stated that water is not the problem and that there is plenty of water to fight fires but the problem is the pressure drops too low when so many connections on the system are open. Same as if you have your kitchen faucet on and it is flowing really good but if you turn on every faucet in the house then the kitchen faucet is not flowing as fast because all the other ones are open.
@@Mrwarren2025 It wouldn't have made a big difference. Insanely powerful winds combined with a dry episode that lasted almost a whole year = disaster. Climate change is the reason this happened.
@@PaleBlueDot16 so how come in a community burned to a crisp. Residents who stayed and had a water hose with only pressure of 1gpm were the only ones who have their homes still standing
@ With the images I have seen, more water could have only contained this beast so far. The damage would have been less, like you said, but it still would have been devastating. I do agree that they should have had more water ready, but at the end of the day, climate change makes this situation non the less devastating, and nothing could have changed the end result. This is the new norm now. Every year, wildfires will burn entire neighborhoods and perhaps even states or provinces. In 2023, the same thing happened in Canada. The amount of hectors that burned were the equivalent of Ireland.
Who will the last human alive tell “I told you so”
The forest floor leaves etc are essential to forest health. Haven’t you ever mulched your trees with leaves?
They wouldn't know this. They hate nature and they have immigrants to care for their lawns for them. Nature is associated with femininity in the West and they hate femininity.
7:18 I was born and in Birmingham, Alabama. Graduate high school, and 2 weeks later left for Navy, with no desire to ever return to that shit ass state. Did 10 years of service. My mother would always ask me when I would come home and visit. I told her I would rather fly the whole family to where I am versus visiting that shit state again.
You never visited your mom in 10 years?
@bskinny9009 During my time in, I visited twice. So yeah, I was never there for major holidays, birthday gatherings, and events like that. Just to be clear, my family is great, and I love my mother. She's awesome, haha.
Climate change is the problem. Enough is enough. We are supposed to get snow next week in Florida!!! WTF???
Tax dollars from CA and other blue states should be redistributed to support only those blue states! Let Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana support themselves.
I feel for Kyle, but someone has to do it. You’re our super man,
KYLE IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!
Almost everything. He thought Tulsi was legit leftist in 2016 and he thought Kamala would win against Trump. But other than that, pretty much right about everything.
"KYLE IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING*
*except when he's not, but at least he'll own up to it"
@@Brickerbrackhe always too late, he was wrong was about illegal immigrats being rejected from the hospital, when they are having an heart attack or an stroke, that is a lie. It is illegal to reject anybody with life-threatening emergency. And that is part of the problem with healthcare being expensive because they factor in those people. (and no I don’t agree with the healthcare system but it is more nuancee) Unfortunately he doesn’t read his comments, so he will continue spread misinformation or misrepresent the facts. I mean he is only one person, probably have one other person who is not an expert doing some research for him.

As a heterosexual man, this is what I have to say to people who think that it is wrong for a woman to be a lesbian: A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
All I think is my Boomer mom whose thought is "I'll be dead before it happens to me" and then my Gen Z son whose thought is "It's already F'd Not much more I can do." It's infuriating.
My mom had terminal cancer when baby bush was running and I seriously said you wont even be here, she died Jan 2001 so didnt even go through 9/11. If she'd been here for trump and voted for him I wouldnt speak to her, my favorite cousin did and didnt tell me until months after and I stopped speaking to her, this time I emailed her a really mean letter and she wrote back that she didnt vote at all, she and her husband moved from CA to Arkansas.
#MedicareForAll
Just like citizens of Israel have.
That is essentially Quid pro quo. Which is illegal.
Time to expose their priorities and conditional assistance. The next time any conservative goes on TV to defense conditional aid, the reporter or another congressman, but a Democrat or Independent or Green, whatever should ask, "But what would Jesus do? ...... I'll wait."
This IS the F'n Twilight Zone! Reality Edition.
As a lifelong Californian I am pretty outraged myself!
Kyle Kulinski is my new spirit animal. Best of luck to our Yank cousins over the next 4 years 😢😢
Ignore their threats, California. We are on your side in Ilinois.
That isn’t a forest fire. How did bad forest management cause a brush fire?
Trump said it, so it must be true. Facts don't matter.
Kyle you were the very first pod cast I ever listened to . 2014 I think. Yes Jon for president, absolutely! I've picked up others since but still love you.
I live in British Columbia and my well has run dry last 5 of 7 years, climate change is normal. Not at this rate!
