<v Speaker 1>the show.

12
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, good morning to you.

13
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>And Shenanigan's declaration for the state of California and the

14
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>leftists that run it feels so sorry for a lot

15
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of Californians. But they voted what they get what they

16
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>voted for. And uh they reaction to Donald Trump and

17
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>hitting the around sprinting he is fifty million dollars to

18
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>fight Donald Trump's agenda in the courtroom. Tell us all

19
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>about this. I read your article on it over at

20
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>bright Bart Joel.

21
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me just back it up for a second.

22
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>So it is true that California as a whole voted

23
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>for the mismanagement of Gavin Newsom and the Democrats. That

24
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 2>is true. But I'm going to defend my community here

25
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>and say that my community did not vote for wildfires

26
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>that destroy the entire town, for fire hydrants that don't

27
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>have water in them, for police that don't show up

28
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>to direct traffic, and an evacuation, for a mayor that

29
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>goes overseas when she knows there's an extreme weather event coming.

30
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>My part of the town voted for the mayor's opponent,

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Rick Caruso, who is a real estate developer, who managed

32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to defend his property using private firefighters. So there's some

33
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>political diversity in California.

34
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Pockets of sanity, Joel, pockets of sanity.

35
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, but I want to blame my neighbors.

36
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, And I didn't I know. It's

37
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>paint with a broad brush, Listen. I lived in Chicago

38
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>for eight years, man, and it's difficult to be a

39
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 1>conservative there. But you know what, the rest of the

40
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>state is more conservative and they feel ill served because

41
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of the massive population. The city of Chicago's corrupt as

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>it is, But I get it. But on that note, Joel,

43
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 1>while we're there, do the folks that invited this type

44
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>of mismanagement, and have they woken up after the realities

45
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>were unfolded the mismanagement, the you know, the misspent money,

46
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the water that isn't flowing, and in the reaction to

47
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>the wildfires. Do you think that's going to have an

48
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>impact longer term?

49
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's really just too early and too close to

50
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>me personally to speculate about politics.

51
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll just tell you what's going on.

52
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>So the residents of Pacific Polisades are really waging a

53
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>baliant fight to rebuild the community after the wildfires of January,

54
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and without the intervention of the Trump administration, it would

55
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>not be happening because the city and state governments don't

56
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>know how to build anything, and they are throwing up

57
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of roadblocks that only the residents working with

58
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration have been able to overcome. And you know,

59
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning, they didn't want to let people go

60
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>to their property even to start sifting through the rubble

61
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>or start clearing it out. When Trump was here on

62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>January twenty fourth, he told the mayor that residents needed

63
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>to be let in right away, So that happened. Then

64
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>they can't sort out the system of permits that would

65
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 2>allow the Army Corps of Engineers to start clearing the debris,

66
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>or that would let people hire private contractors to clear

67
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the degree from their own sites. That's also something that

68
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration has had to intervene to do. And we're

69
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 2>still getting the run around from La County. I remember,

70
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 2>we have Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County, two

71
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>lairs of government, both dysfunctional in their own special way,

72
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 2>and we are having to figure out how to make

73
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>them work finally for the benefit of the residents who

74
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>want to rebuild. And if they don't work, you're just

75
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>going to have empty lots on the most beautiful real

76
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>estate in the world, really, because this little portion of

77
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles is built on a hillside that overlooks the

78
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Ocean that is at the base of the Santa

79
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Monica Mountains. It's really spectacular and it's an incredible community,

80
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>wonderful people. But we've had to band together and help

81
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 2>each other out to figure out how to circumvent the

82
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>red tape and how to deal with politicians who are

83
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>functioning as big city politicians do in Democrat jurisdiction. The

84
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>latest scandal is that they hired this consulting firm supposedly

85
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild the city. They did it behind closed doors.

86
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 2>No one knows what the firm's supposed to do. No

87
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>one knows how much they're supposed to earn from this.

88
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>And they're from Evanston, Illinois, which is my old stomping ground,

89
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>which to ask me, doesn't really know how to manage

90
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>very much either. No, these consultants are going to come

91
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>in and tell us what to do with our town

92
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>after they basically mismanaged Evanston. You know, Evanston didn't even

93
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>have a city manager for several years. It's spent one

94
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars just on looking for a city manager

95
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>because they couldn't find one, and they had one for

96
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>a while, but she was too pro police for the

97
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Black Lives Matter crowd, so they rejected her. I mean,

98
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that's Evanston, Illinois, and what they're going to send us

99
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>someone and knows something about rebuilding. They also got tied

100
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>up in this corruption scandal during Hurricane Sandy because two

101
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 2>of their consultants were discovered to have defrauded New York

102
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>City using reimbursements for housing and for travel expenses. They

103
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>pleaded guilty so we were bringing this group in to

104
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 2>rebuild LA. It's just nuts. And I think that we

105
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>are applying a level of scrutiny here to these elected

106
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 2>officials in California that they've never actually seen before, because

107
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>you're right in a sense that the electorate generally takes

108
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>what they're given here in California because they say the

109
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>right things about social issues. They have the left wing positions,

110
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and they fight those nasty Republicans and the bad Orange Man.

111
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 2>But it turns out the bad Orange Man cares more

112
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 2>about the residents than Democrats do. So I do think

113
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>people are having a change of heart. But really we're

114
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>not focused on the next election right now. Right now,

115
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 2>we're just focused on clearing the debris and getting the

116
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>houses going again.

117
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Well and apparently not landscaping. Recording an article I read

118
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>about Gavin Newsom, he's prohibiting people from planting a vegetation

119
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>within five feet of their homes. Yeah, this is crazy.

120
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>So clearly newsen doesn't understand what caused the fire and

121
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>how the fire is spread. But they're gonna blame climate change.

122
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna blame vegetation near people's homes. You know, my

123
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>house did very well, we've got lots of plants around

124
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>our house. My house did not burn even though it

125
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>was in the center.

126
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Of the fire.

127
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's because some of the vegetation actually kept

128
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the fire off the house. So there are some species

129
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>evidently that are fire resistant. Ficus trees, for example, they're

130
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>very thirsty, they drink a lot of water. They kind

131
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of destroyed my vegetable garden, but they're very fire resistant

132
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>for that reason because they store so much water in

133
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>their trunks and branches and leaves and so forth, and

134
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>so telling us what to plant, that's what the state

135
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>has decided it needs to do. There's no reevaluation of

136
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>overall water policy, overall forestry emergency services, a crazy insurance

137
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 2>policy that has resulted in insurance companies leaving the state

138
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and dropping consumers. So they're not focused on anything that

139
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>really matters. They're just going to try to regulate their

140
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>way out of the pr crisis that just created for them.

141
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, do you anticipate the rumors were flying in the

142
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>during the raging part of the Fire's Joel that somehow

143
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>this was I don't want to say intentional. There's conspiracy

144
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>theorist out there all over, but look, there was all

145
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 1>kinds of dry vegetation, sparks happened, and wildfire's raised. It's

146
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 1>been happening in California for a long time. Hew Bad

147
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Religion wrote a song about it. So you have all

148
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 1>this awareness of potential for fires. But like what happened

149
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>in Lehina, with those homes that are now, they can't

150
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>rebuild them the way they originally built, and they're planning

151
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>on remaking that entire city into something it wasn't before.

152
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Conveniently they've burned all to the ground. Do you anticipate

153
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 1>these rules and regulations having an impact on maybe the

154
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 1>size of homes and whether or not they can be

155
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 1>equipped with Oh, I don't know, gas lines or something.

156
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is this going to be the fifteen minute

157
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 1>city remaking, Joel?

158
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>That's what people are afraid of. People are worried about

159
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 2>that kind of intervention. I don't see that happening just yet.

160
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>But I do think that they're going to try to

161
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>put a stamp, put a kind of liberal or climate

162
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>change stamp on whatever the rebuilding is, and they're not

163
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>really going to address the fundamental issues, which are the

164
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 2>poor design of the water system, the poor design of

165
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>some of the roads. For example, there's one part of

166
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>town that only has one road in, one road out

167
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>for thousands of residents. They're not going to change that,

168
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 2>going to change the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy and how

169
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 2>they deal with brush and brush clearance and fire breaks.

170
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>They need to the residents want them to, So maybe

171
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>it'll happen if residents continue to be as active as

172
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>we've been. But left to their own devices, the local

173
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>officials would simply remake California in their image, and that's

174
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the problem. Their policies have led to this disaster well.

175
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And the frustrating part for me, just being an outside observer,

176
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 1>that there was a lot of money, literally millions, if

177
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>not billions of dollars allocated for clearance projects to get

178
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>rid of the brush, to do forest maintenance, responsible for

179
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>its maintenance, and anytime they try to engage in one

180
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 1>of those projects, environmental groups would pop up and sue

181
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>them to stop it in its tracks.

182
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there have been huge problems with that. In fact,

183
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 2>fire creders have told me that they are frustrated with

184
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the fact that environmental groups won't let people clear brush

185
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 2>in certain areas that would reduce the risks not eliminated,

186
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>but the risk of wildfires to structures and reduce the

187
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>risk of the out of control blazes that we've seen

188
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 2>where you know, one structure goes up and then there

189
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>are embers that fly and hit the next structure. So

190
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>we have a problem in California where because of the

191
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 2>beautiful weather and the beautiful natural resources the coastline, the

192
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>mountains and what have you, people get the idea that

193
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>we can make life perfect here by creating a utopia.

194
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's what we plan for. So Gavin Newsom wants

195
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of all the gas powered cars and

196
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>have an electric vehicle future. By twenty thirty five, you

197
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>can only buy electric vehicles, but he doesn't think about

198
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the worst case scenario. And actually, the EPA is in

199
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>my town right now clearing out electric vehicles because it

200
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>turns out that the lithium ion batteries are pretty hazardous

201
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 2>and a fire. So it's just a misorientation. The purpose

202
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>of government, the first and fundamental purpose, is to protect

203
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 2>the lives and property of the people. So you've got

204
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to deal with that before you deal with whatever pie

205
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>in the sky utopia you want to create. Because frankly,

206
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>we're human beings, and only God can create perfect things.

207
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>We create imperfect things. And so when we create our

208
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>imperfect things, we need to create systems that deal with failure,

209
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>not systems that are guaranteed to succeed, because we can't

210
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>guarantee anything excellent.

211
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Observation Joe Pollock from Breitbart Do you have do you expect?

212
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 1>And I know many people were kind of caught with

213
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>their pants down because they didn't have insurance. They couldn't

214
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 1>afford insurance. Perhaps maybe the insurers left the state because

215
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>of the the the outrageous risk analysis there actually said,

216
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, we shouldn't be here because of the fire risk.

217
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you anticipate an exodus of a lot of people?

218
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.919
<v Speaker 1>They just going to give up. I can't rebuild. It's

219
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 1>going to take too long. I have I have to

220
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>get out of here.

221
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I think a few people will say that, but I

222
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>think most people are committed to rebuilding because Specific Palisades

223
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't is such a special place. It really was a

224
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 2>small town in LA where everybody knew it body, where

225
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>kids played baseball incessantly in the public park, and where

226
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 2>people went to church on Sunday and the farmers market,

227
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's just an idyllic place. People really loved it.

228
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>It was a down to earth community.

229
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>You know.

230
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times has really defamed us. They've said, oh,

231
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a bunch of rich people.

232
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Most people in.

233
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 2>The town, although they are rich on paper because of

234
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>the value of the property, they didn't start out rich.

235
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>And many of the homeowners, especially the elderly homeowners, bought

236
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>right after the Second World War, when most of the

237
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 2>housing stock was just two bedroom bungalows. So this is

238
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>a town of ordinary people, some extraordinary people, but it's

239
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 2>really just a great American town, and people want to

240
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>preserve that. So I think most people are going to

241
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>try to do that if they can, if the government

242
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get me away.

243
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Ford Park Company. Joe Pollock. Obviously, this is a This

244
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 1>is so personal to you because you live there in

245
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the heart of where all this happened. It had to

246
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>have impacted you psychologically, pacted your life, like the death

247
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of a loved one kind of thing, or like living

248
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 1>through the horrors of World War two. If you were,

249
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, in London being bombed, I mean, what how

250
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>do you cope with that? Joel? We just move forward.

251
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're Americans if you drive around the town

252
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>right now, you'll see American flags on a lot of

253
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 2>the destroyed property. Is a giant's American flag. I mean

254
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 2>it must be like fifty feet by one hundred feet

255
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>or something, hanging from one of the homes on the

256
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>hillside overlooking Sunset Boulevard. You can't drive into town from

257
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 2>the east without seeing it. So we're Americans rebuilt. We

258
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 2>don't give up. But California sureius trying to make us

259
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>do that, But we're not going to give up.
