So help us beat the big tech algorithm by giving us a five star rating.

Now on with the show.

Previously on Red Pilled America.

We had a reservoir.

It was empty.

He's got a really big NFC.

All hell was breaking loose at the bottom of the hill.

Get out of your car if you want to live.

Caruso could not only make a city a work of art, but could also clean it up as well.

Rick Caruso had proven to be a force for good in Los Angeles, and now he wanted to take on the job of cleaning up the city.

Karen Bass turned her attention to a far off land.

Her top priority appeared to be Africa.

Well, I'm in Congress now is so that I can work on Africa issues.

She argued that Rick Caruso was not really a Democrat.

The Associated Press declaring Bass the winner.

Los Angeles chose its new leader.

I'm Patrick Carelci and.

I'm Adriana Cortes.

And this is Red Pilled America, a storytelling show.

This is not another talk show covering the day's news.

We're all about telling stories.

Stories.

Hollywood doesn't want you to hear stories.

The media mocks stories about everyday Americans at the Globalist ignore.

You can think of Red Pilled America as audio documentaries, and we promise only one thing, the truth.

Welcome to Red Pilled America.

We're at the finale of our series of episodes entitled The Reckoning.

We're looking for the answer to the question who's to blame for the twenty twenty five LA wildfires by telling the story behind the city where it happened.

So to pick up where we left off in twenty twenty two, the people of Los Angeles were faced with the choice who would they pick to lead them.

Would it be the real estate developer at Crusoe or the community organizer Karen Bass.

Caruso had served as the president of both the Board of Police Commissioners and the Board of Water and power.

He had saved the reputation of Los Angeles' most prestigious institution and biggest private employer, USC and he beautified the city with his magnificent outdoor shopping experiences.

Karen Bass, on the other hand, was an activist that had spent the last decade plus focused on Africa.

It should have been an easy choice, but Karen Bass successfully branded her opponent a Republican.

When election day arrived, Los Angeles chose the community organizer.

Mark my words, we will get big things done together.

In her rise to the LA Mayor's office, she made a campaign promise to Angelino's she would quote.

Not travel internationally.

The only places I would go would be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco, New York in relation to Los Angeles.

But just two years into her term, she would break that promise.

LA Mayor Karen Bows is headed to Ghana for the African nation's presidential inauguration.

She's part of a delegation chosen by President Biden to attend the January seventh ceremony.

The headline was that she was attending a presidential inauguration, but the real draw to the event was the swearing inn of Ghana's first female vice president, Mayor Bass left her city to indulge in gender politics.

January seventh, twenty twenty five, was a big day for the African nation of Ghana.

Congratulations vice here.

But it was also a critical moment for Los Angeles because while Mayor Bass was playing gender politics, seven thousand miles away, the city she was responsible for overseeing was on the precipice of a disaster.

Mayor Bass flew to Ghana on January fourth, but the city she was leaving was bracing for a historic event.

The day before her flight, the National Weather Service issued a fire weather watch for Los Angeles.

It warned that between January seventh through January tenth, the city would be hit with massive windstorms.

The alert would eventually saturate local news.

These are Santa Ana winds that would be blowing through southern Californias.

But we could be looking at you know, fifty sixty mile Prayer Wins, eighty mile Praier Wins, and some of the higher elevation areas.

Fire concerns are going to be the main story for us weatherwise.

This is a strong event where we look at the scale of how strong Santa Na's could be this one's between strong and destructive.

You could see some wind guys at times up to hurricane velocity.

We do need to just be aware that these wins, very strong, very damaging, fire concerns will be up.

It was no secret an incredible weather event was headed towards Los Angeles.

One spark and the brush covered hills of La La Land could go up in flames, putting property and lives in peril.

Mayor Bass, no doubt knew of this risk.

It was her job to know.

She could have canceled her trip, or at the very least when the weather forecast cemented the situation, she could have immediately returned home because she wasn't the only American representative at the inauguration.

The US President, Mister Joe Biden, has announced a presidential delegation to attend the inaugration of Ghani's President's elect, mister John Muhamma on January seventh, twenty twenty five, in a club.

In an official statement from the White House, President Biden designated the Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, Shalan da Young, to lead the delegation.

At the members of the delegation, a US Ambassador to Ghana, Madame Virginia Palmer, Mayor of Los Angeles, California, Karen Bass, and Special Assistants to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the White House National Security Council, Frances Brown.

The delegation was an all female cast of Americans.

Mayor Bass could have returned immediately to prepare Los Angeles for the worst, but instead she rolled the dice.

The problem was that Los Angeles was running out of luck because it had been dodging bullets for months.

The first came in mid November twenty twenty four, when a fire broke out in the Pacific Palace.

Aids Hopscott Riferer seven were Pacific.

We had a fire break down in the brush here about ten o'clock this morning.

City Fire responded quickly.

As the helicopter camera zoomed out from the area, no more than one hundred feet from the fire stoodn't empty.

Santa Ynez Reservoir the same one hundred and seventeen million gallon basin constructed in the late nineteen sixties to fight Palisades wildfires.

The helicopters have been making drops now for about the last ten to fifteen minutes.

I think they're going to be released.

It looks like they're getting the upper hand on this.

There was some concern in that Palisades Highlands area, but for the most part, they've knocked us down.

Structure protection is in place, but we have not heard of evacuation.

The fire was quickly contained.

The Los Angeles Fire Department or LAFD, got lucky.

It could have gotten out of hand quickly.

But what was perhaps most troubling was that even with the reservoir visibly empty, According to Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, the fire department was not aware that the reservoir was out of commission, as she would later confess, were you aware that there was no water there?

No, oh, we weren't aware of that.

They don't have to advise you, not that I'm aware of now.

The empty reservoir, juxtaposed with the brush fire, was an ominous site, and that's because the twenty twenty four winter was turning out to be a noticeably dry one.

Lacking rainfall, the brush covering the hills of Los Angeles became bone dry, creating thousands of acres of fuel blanketing the city.

To compound the problem, the LAFD was dealing with limited resources.

Earlier in the year, Mayor Karen Bass had drastically cut the department's budget.

About a month after dodging that first bullet, firefighters sounded the alarm at a Los Angeles Board of Fire Commissioner's meeting, LA Firefighters Union president delivered a warning to city leadership the mayor's budget cuts were going to lead to a disaster.

Freddy Escobar and I'm proud to serve as a newly re elected president representing the best firefighters and paramedics in the country.

U FLAX supports the fire chiefs proposed budget for ex Chier's fiscal year encourages this commission to join us in fighting for LAFD funding levels that reflect the needs of our city and our firefighters.

In July twenty twenty four, Mayor Bass cut the lafd's budget by nearly eighteen million dollars.

The reduction was a devastating hit.

LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley wanted the department's budget replenished in twenty twenty five, so, in a mid December twenty twenty four Board meeting of Fire Commissioners, Firefighters Union president Freddie Escobar provided some contexts to the dire situation the department was facing.

As you have now seen in the Chief Standard of cover letter, there are some truly shocking findings with the current state of the LAFD.

In nineteen sixty our city population was two point five million and we had one hundred and twelve fire stations.

In twenty twenty, our city population was three point nine million and we had one hundred and six stations.

That's one point four million more people and six fewer fire stations.

In nineteen sixty nine, the LAFD responded to one hundred and one thousand emergency incidents.

In twenty twenty three, we responded to five hundred and five thousand emergency incidents.

That's five times the number of calls.

With fewer fire stations and fewer firefighters.

We have fewer resources today we did in the nineteen sixties when our population was fifty seven percent what it is now.

This is simply unacceptable.

The union president was not a fan of Mayor Bass in the twenty twenty two mayor's race.

He and his union backed real estate developer Rick Caruso.

Mayor Bass's budget cuts were hitting the same group that endorsed her opponent.

I'm going to say what people can't say.

If we cut one position, if we close one station, if we close one resource, the residents of Los Angeles are going to pay the ultimate sacrifice and someone will die.

And we want to work with you guys to prevent that from happening.

And we have the facts to back it up.

The firefighting community was desperately waving a red flag.

Trouble was coming, and just as twenty twenty five kicked off, the city would dodge another bullet.

At around midnight on New Year's Eve, residents of the Pacific Palisades heard something alarming.

Allowed bang, and saw a white flash to my backside.

Someone lit fireworks and it started fire.

A brush fire ignited near Skull Rock, the popular boulder in the Palisades Hills.

The LAFD quickly arrived on the scene.

Winds were blowing at only fifteen miles per hour.

By four forty five am, the blaze was fully contained.

Assistant Fire Chief Joe Everett says his crew conducted what's called a cold trailing operation, where firefighters feel for any lingering heat along the edge of the burn site.

They duck out every hot spot to ensure members could not flare up.

Later, he says his crew spent the next thirty six hours monitoring the area.

According to the assistant chief, the fire was completely dead.

Firefighters exhaled a sigh of relief, but they knew the conditions were still ripe for a disaster.

All of this is to say that the city officials were given ample warning, but even with the red flags, they weren't prepared for what.

Was to come.

Life can be pretty stressful these days.

You want to know what makes me feel better?

Licorice from the Licorice Guy.

Call me crazy, but it's true because I love licorice.

Longtime listeners of Bread Filled America know that licorice is my absolute favorite candy, and the very best liquorice, hands down, comes from the Licorice Guy.

I know licorice, and it doesn't get any better than this.

What truly sets it apart is its flavor and its freshness.

The softness of this licorice will blow your mind.

I've never had anything like it.

The Licorice Guy offers jumbo gourmet licorice and nostalgic seasonal flavors a red, blue, raspberry, cinnamon, watermelon, Black and Apple.

Trust me, they are all delicious.

What I also love about the Liquorice Guy is that it's an American family owned business, and you all know that I'm a big proponent of supporting American companies.

Welcome back to Red Pilled America.

The morning of January seventh, twenty twenty five, as Mayor Karen Bass was on a trip to Africa, she promised she wouldn't take the Palisades wildfire erupted.

Okay, that he's got a really big head ofc is heading forward.

Starbel Drive.

We have the significant houses, significant brush in that area.

I'm going to guess it at Danager's medium.

The heavy brush with about a forty mile an hour wind blowing towards the ocean.

Got it home center.

We're starting leers up here.

A man wants to issue an EBAC warning for that area, for all the fountains area.

How guys he copied the e back warning for the whole area were at issue that evacuation noticed now.

Palise's resident, Andre Ulloa, was forced to evacuate at roughly five PM, and as he drove down the only escape route out of his neighborhood, he drove into armageddon.

And no one knew what was going on, right, Like authorities were telling us, yes, just go, but not really giving us, you know, escape routes or anything.

There's just like go, go go.

And once you got into that ravine, I mean they're smoldering ground happening all over you.

You got in there and you were hitting into like deep smoke.

And then when I got to Palace Hits Drive at sunset, it was really apocalyptic because they had abandoned probably three hundred cars or so it looked like, and they were all up the hill.

But by the time Andre arrived, the LAFD had already taken some drastic steps.

This dozer is just moving these vehicles out of the way.

Fortunately, it's an emergency situation and this is what they have to do.

This looks like a movie set.

Unfortunately this is real La County fire.

They have to do what they have to do.

They need to clear a path.

Again, Andre Uyoa, and at that point they had bulldozed a lot of the cars, so they were kind of in this jigsaw puzzle, and then it looked like one side of the car had been burned.

It just looked like a bomb site kept getting worse and worse.

It felt like sort of like going into the heart of darkness.

You're just like thinking, Okay, well, when am I gonna get out of the other side of this, and just keeps getting worse and worse.

Andre got to the bottom of the hill and made a left onto Pacific Coast Highway or PCH, a road that, as its name says, travels down the Pacific Ocean coast.

And that's when it just gets just horrific.

You see palm trees on fire on the beach side of it, and then on the residential side of it, where they have a series of trailer home parks and those are completely on fire.

You use certain things on PCH to like know where you are, and those things are gone now, and then visibility almost got to zero.

The only thing that was lighting my way was the actual fire, and you're close enough to it where the car is completely sealed up.

I've got my industrial quality mask and so I'm not smelling anything per se, but i can feel the window on the driver's side and it is hot.

You're literally that close to it.

This is where you have to have agency as a civilian because at this point, like there's no one there to help you.

The few people that were left were left to themselves.

Like you were, like, no one's guiding us out of here.

We're getting out of here ourselves.

There's a lot of fear right there.

In that particular moment.

Andre carefully drove through the darkness.

It wasn't sure when or if you would emerge.

But then as quickly as things got bleak, the sky opened.

It ended in a stark transition.

I mean it was like literally you went from this fire and all this stuff, and then once you got past there's a lifeguard tower.

I think they call it the Baywatch Lifeguard Tower.

Once you got past that tower.

It was clear again.

Andre didn't know if his home survived, but he'd soon join his family.

The Uyoahs were all safe.

But when the dust settled, an inevitable question arose who was to blame for this catastrophe.

As for the fire origin in the Palisades, many believed it was human caused, and the Internet came up with a possibility.

On the morning of the fire, artist and photographer Kai Cranmore says he and a few of his buddies were hiking to Skull Rock, that massive popular boulder in the Palisades.

Cranmore would later tell several outlets that while meditating near the rock, someone in the group smelled smoke.

According to Cranmore, they jumped up, put their shoes on, and climbed down the boulder.

He would later tell the Associated Press what happened next, turned.

Around and there was a plume of smoke just like rolling over the mountain, like right behind us.

It was probably only about fifty feet away from us.

And we we quickly like got our stuff, ran down from the rock.

Well climb.

We climbed down from the rock and we had to climb up to get to it.

And as we got to the bottom of the rock.

We started to hear the fire crackle like right behind us, and the wind was started to pick up really fast, and like we we got our things and completely booked it as fast as we could away.

Cranmore then says he hit record on his phone while his group began their descent down the Palisades Hill, running for their lives.

Wait, we're in a fire right now, guy, We got to go up.

Let's go up.

Let's go up.

Yo.

As Cranmore and his buddies first began running down the hill, there didn't appear to be anyone else around them.

Once out of immediate harm's way, the group stopped to marvel at the flames it had already engulfed the very place they'd just left.

Wait, you were right behind it.

God, Oh my god.

We gotta go.

You gotta get out of here.

As long as we're by the river, we're probably good.

Well, Cranmore caught appeared to be the beginnings of the blaze, but the internet got suspicious.

Shortly after the Palisades wildfire broke out, one of Cranmore's buddies, a guy named Benny Orrin, posted on social media a video clip of their escape.

People immediately began asking questions, partly because the hikers seemed jovial in their escape, but also because by posting the video, they placed themselves at or near the origin of the fire.

A few social media users asked Cranmore point blank if anyone from his group had been smoking.

The response from a social media account bearing Cranmore's name stated that they were not smoking and that none of them were smokers, but that appears to be untrue.

Red Pilled America reviewed Cranmore's social media footprint, and it shows Cranmore and his friends smoking, sometimes in the wilderness, and in one case, Cranmore captured a friend smoking in nature while on a rock climbing expedition with sixty mile per hour winds blowing in Malibu, similar to the conditions on the day of the Palisades wildfire.

There were also video clips that show Cranmore playing with fire, even in nature.

At one point, he even throws a lit firework indoors.

None of the videos proved that the hikers had anything to do with the start of the Palisades fire, but they are all troubling red flags that authorities should pursue.

We contacted Kay Cranmore for comment, but he didn't respond.

Benny Orn publicly denied lighting the blaze, and as of January fourteenth, twenty two, twenty four, he claims he hadn't been contacted by authorities.

This is all to say that there are theories that the fire was human caused, but even if it was, so many other things went wrong that turns the fire into what's been called the biggest disaster in Los Angeles history.

So what's the Los Angeles Fire Department to blame for the destruction?

A fire did erupt near the same location on New Year's Eve.

Several news outlets, including The Washington Post, have suggested embers still smoldering from that blaze could have reignited, but several experts have knocked down that theory, including Assistant Chief Joe Everett of the LAFD, who oversaw the Pacific Palisades.

He insists that his men thoroughly patrolled the site for thirty six hours.

The fire was dead out.

If it is determined that was the cause, it would be a phenomenon.

Assuming he's right.

Some still criticized the LAFD for not pre deploying personnel to the area given the high wind forecasts.

The LAFD responded, claiming that they couldn't possibly know where a fire would start in the vast Santa Monica Hills.

Deploying to the wrong place could have left them vulnerable, and they were also spread thin due to budget cuts and other fires that flared up in the Hollywood area earlier that morning.

Some also criticized the lack of mobile water tankers on site, including Andre Uyoa.

There were even tankers of water that were accessible to these fire trucks, but the fire department is not authorized to have them follow them into the scene because they aren't trained in what to do in those situations.

And that could have helped when the unthinkable occurred.

Hampering the fire fight has been a lack of water at hydrants on the Palisades.

Fire firefighters were complaining last night that some of the hydrants in the Pacific Palisades region were running out of water.

It turns out that it's true.

City officials, explaining what happened in a press conference, they save the demand on their water supplies was unprecedented, which is hard to comprehend really, given that all the warnings that they had in advance of this.

The LAFD is not responsible for the water infrastructure in the Pacific Palisades area that falls to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, or LADWP, so were.

They to blame for the catastrophe.

Janis Ki Jounez, the CEO and chief engineer of the LEDWP, would later confirm that the tanks providing pressure to the hydrants did in fact go dry at the height of the blaze.

We have three large water tanks, about a million gallons each.

We run out of water and the.

First thing got about four forty five pm yesterday.

We ran out of water on the second tank about eight thirty pm, and the third tank about three am this morning.

With the hydrants running dry, many turned to the glaring fact that the Sanaanez Reservoir was empty when the Palisades community needed it most.

The reservoir was built to protect the Palisades from wildfires.

It's managed by the LADWP and was empty for about a year due to a repair to its cover.

A cover of the community had long opposed.

When the Sanainez Reservoir first went into operation in nineteen seventy, it was just an open body of water.

In nineteen eighty eight, due to water purity regulations, the DWP proposed the installation of a cover.

Residents fought its installation, fearing that it would be an iesore prone to vandalism.

The cover idea was shelved, but in the early two thousands, the EPA issued stricter water regulations, so in two thousand and eight a project was commenced to cover the reservoir with a floating rubber membrane.

It was completed four years later and was supposed to have a twenty year lifespan.

However, in twenty twenty two the cover required repairing.

It was quickly patched up, but just two years later, in January twenty twenty four, an LAEDWP property manager noticed a tear.

The cover was meant to stop bacteria and algae build up from animals and debris contaminating the water.

According to the LA Times, two days after the tear was first noticed, it appeared to have grown.

LEDWP policy manuals required tears to be addressed within forty eight hours.

In late January twenty twenty four, the department performed a test on the water and according to an internal email, no bacteria was found.

The DWP wanted to keep the reservoir active while devising a plan for repairs, then briefly taken out of commission, but have it back up and running by April twenty twenty four.

However, an engineer from California's Water Resources Control Board relayed to the LEDWP that they were quote not supportive of allowing the reservoir to continue operation without being repaired.

So, according to internal emails reviewed by The La Times, the LEDWP began the long process of draining the reservoir.

In April twenty twenty four, a bid went out to repair the tear.

Only one company responded to the bid, the same company that originally installed the cover.

A contract for the one hundred and thirty thousand dollars repair wasn't finalized until November twenty twenty four.

In other words, regulations, red tape, and poor decision making left the sana in As reservoir dry when it was needed most.

This points to poor management leading to the Pacific Palisades wildfire, placing the blame for the catastrophe at the steps of the mayor's office.

Karen Bass.

He was over seven thousand miles away playing gender politics when our city needed her most.

She was the person that cut the LAFD budget.

She appointed a commissioner to the ladwp's waterboard, a commissioner who was the lead liaison between the department and the Mayor's office.

If a major fire prevention resource was down, the commissioner should have reported that to the mayor, but instead, the commissioner's top goal for the LADWP was to advocate for the LADWP to reach one hundred percent carbon neutral power by twenty thirty five.

The infrastructure preparedness and disaster response all falls at the feet of the Mayor of Los Angeles, and Karen Bass failed miserably.

So is that the answer was it Karen Bass's fault or others to blame?

Andre Ulloa contemplated this question shortly after evacuation, and he came to a surprising conclusion.

How did we let this happen?

You know?

And as somebody that takes so much responsibility in his life, which is really the cornerstone of being a man and being a father and being a leader in your community, right, I let passively the people occupy positions of power in my municipality, in my local community, in the state that I live, where my kids live.

I let them sort of exist, and I just sort of said, well, I'll deal with it.

California's beautiful, I'll pay the taxes, I'll deal with it.

But obviously that.

Was the wrong choice, right I'm not putting the shoulders of the state on the yoke that I'm wearing.

But I hope that there's many many other people that feel the same way that I do right now, because that's the only way we're going to effectuate change in this place.

Andre u Yoa is, of course, not responsible for the Palisades disaster or for Karen Bass being elected mayor of LA.

He was, without question not a Bass voter.

I've known Andre for over twenty years.

His wife helped plan our wedding, and he has been right of center long before Adrianna and I had a political awakening.

After the Butler assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Andre concluded he needed to do more than just throw money behind the former president.

So he put his life on pause and decided to go door to door in Arizona to drum up votes for Donald Trump.

I heard that Charlie Kirk was putting people up in hotels and his organization Turning Point USA was essentially giving people the framework to go out there and knock on doors and convert these people that were low propensity voters into early voters.

And that's what I did.

I went out there, I did three days on the ground, and I knocked on a whole bunch of doors.

This was not a man that voted for Karen Bass, and neither did his neighbors.

The Pacific Palisades voted overwhelmingly for Rick Caruso, and they were onto something because one of the few structures still standing after the fires is Crusoe's Palisades Village Mall.

Now a lot of people have been noticing that the Palisades Village is beautiful white structure at the corner there in the Palisades is pretty much unscathed, and then directly across the street completely demolished.

Rick Caruso would eventually explain how this came to be.

So because of us being prepared, because of us building with noncombustible materials, because we had fire retarding out there, because we had our own water trucks mount water from the city putting water on it.

We saved eight residences where families lived, We saved the village, We saved businesses, we saved thousands of jobs.

I wish the city would have been as prepared as we were.

What andre U Yoa meant by taking some ownership in the Palisades disaster is that he hopes Angelinos have a reckoning over their politics.

Perhaps conservatives in the area should begin to turn their focus to their local cities so they don't fall into the hands of community organizers like Karen Bass.

And more importantly, maybe the liberals of Los Angeles should get past the brainwashing they've endured for decades and begin voting for the best managers instead of falling for labels like Democrat or Republican.

That's the only way problems will get solved.

The concept of like a fire, I understand that it might be an environmental factor that catalyzes it, but it ends with us right, like humans end it right, and humans end it with their ingenuity and the tools that we've built since the industrial age.

A resident that lost her home also recognized this reckoning that Angelos are facing.

How would anyone feel if you were standing there watching the fire ravage your house and knowing that the call hasn't been made to fill up fire hydrants, or that there isn't enough water to fight this fire that I've paid tax dollars for.

So now my tax dollars went for an airplane ride from LA to West Africa versus where are my fire hydrants full?

That's going to be the question in the next selection.

One hundred percent, and there have to be consequences here.

A year after the fires, only one Palisades home has been rebuilt, and the Santa Ynez reservoir that was empty, and the day the fire struck what had to be drained again at the end of twenty twenty five to repair the cover, which leads us back to the question who's to blame for the LA wildfires.

The answer is clear.

It's not the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It's not the led w P, although they made some big mistakes.

It's not even the fault of Mayor Bass, who was obviously derelict in her duties.

The blame resides with the brainwashed voters that put Karen Bass in office.

The mayor indeed failed the people of the Palisades, but Karen Bass was put in the mayor's office by Angelino's and at some point the people must take responsibility for who they choose to manage their cities.

Los Angeles was given a stark choice for mayor, the builder with experience not only in law enforcement and cleaning up systems, but also with experience dealing with one of the city's most vital resources, water.

When the mother of all blazes came to the Palisades, one of the few structures left standing was Rick Crusoe's beautiful Palisades Village.

Because he was prepared.

Instead of choosing this manager, brainwashed voters in La La Land voted for Karen Bass, the Africa obsessed community organizer who'd never managed anything near the scale of the city.

Angelino's rejected Caruso solely because he was branded a Republican.

Now they must have a reckoning over their politics.

In the end, the Ulloa family's home survived the fire.

They were able to return to it in December twenty twenty five.

We're La and we're La to stay even through this nightmare.

Now we got to stay here and make this happen.

And they will need all the support they can get because, besides the Palisades Village, one of the few things that hasn't burnt to the ground in Los Angeles is its ideology.

As our house was burning, I thought, where are all the firemen.

People are really unhappy, and I just think this is climate change.
