Today's show opens with Kash Patel suggesting subpoena's need to be issued to the company where Judge Juan Merchan's daughter works to see if any money was being made illegally by leveraging the hush-money payments trial. When in doubt, follow the money. It's nice hear that Victor Davis Hanson sees the California wildfire situation very similar to how we've been discussing it here on the show. He liken Governor Newsome to Nero, playing his fiddle while the city burns. We then go to a bald-faced lie told this past Sunday by Gov. Newsome on Meet the Press. He wants us to believe all of the reservoirs were full. Similarly, the Designated Liar, Adam “Lying Piece of” Schiff, went on ABC and was much more clever with his lies about the reservoirs. Independent journalists with The Free Press looked into the Santa Ynez Reservoir and discovered it has been empty since February of 2024. We have an insight into why that is, thanks to a radio interview Water Chief Janisse Quinones gave to KBLA radio. For her, equity and social justice are their primary goals. Having water available didn't make her list of priorities. Continuing with the mismanagement theme, a local rancher shot video of all the dead wood and felled trees that are a tinderbox waiting to happen. And, it would be because of climate change. In fact, Michael Shellenberger interviews Jon Keeley, a US Geological Survey scientist who says the issues have zero to do with climate. Even Jillian Michaels points out, Every bit of this is incompetence, mismanagement and worse. We then move to FBI Director Christopher Wray's interview on 60 Minutes, where he admits China is an unsolved foe. I guess they should have been more focused on actual threats rather than persecuting parents at school board meetings. Leslie Stahl beclowned herself as well, something she is tremendously gifted at doing. She tried to get Jamie Diamond to turn on Trump. She tried it three times and was rebuffed every time. Finally, Donald Trump said he will tell us about the drones within a day of taking office. He said it's a travesty that the current administration has been silent and done nothing.
