5:12 pm
during the week so people see who they're going to. i've never had more people say, oh, good, i want to see this guy because of what happened here. and people around the country don't know. you ran against our current mayor? yes. and lost by not too much. you started out running as a republican, which is what you are. and then ran as an independent and then as a democrat. what went wrong? you're running out of parties to leave, right? >> which is probably a good thing. but i just want to start there. >> yeah, because i think it says a lot about a one party state. and i would say this if it was any one party running anything, i don't think it's healthy that you had to put a d by your name even to be in the race. would you comment on that? >> well, what i did do is ten years ago i left the republican party and i became an independent. and then when i was thinking about running for mayor, i did turn to the democratic party. and so i did that before i ran. and listen,
5:13 pm
the reality is we've got a system in this country that's a closed loop, and we've got to get out of that closed loop system, because you saw in my race the democratic party was horrified that i was getting close. biden flew out to campaign for harris, flew out a couple of times. nancy pelosi, i mean, they should have just filled up air force one and done it all at one time. and then at the very end, when we were tied, they finally convinced obama to come in and endorse her. so it was just an amazing process to watch how keeping the old guard, keeping the career politician was more important than doing what i could argue in the best interest of the people. so. >> so i mean, the big controversy here is could it have gone better?
5:14 pm
>> i say yes, it could have would have gone better handling the fire. oh of course. >> okay. well, there's lots of people who say, don't you know, it's look, i don't want to end up on my editorial at the end of the show, which is what this is about. yeah, but that's my view. is that it's fire bad. yes. and is it inevitable out here? yes, it is, but i do think we could have done better. i mean, i know that's your point of view. tell me what you would have done. >> well, let me just just to put it in context for a minute, i was very fortunate as a young man. i was a commissioner with tom bradley, worked for him. i worked for dick riordan and i worked for jimmy hahn, for tom bradley and dick riordan. i was the head of the department of water and power. so i know a little bit about the water and power issue here. i also know a lot about what good leadership looks like. those three were good leaders to know there's a fire coming to know you're in fire season. we had a fire three weeks ago in malibu. six years ago, we had a fire in brentwood. and for those that don't know the brentwood area,
5:15 pm
it's 15 minutes from where the palisades fire was there's 40 year old vegetation between brentwood and the palisades, and at that time i said, if that fire travels, it's going to come through and wipe out the palisades. i'm so sad that i was right. it was predictable. bill. what's predictable is preventable. and then on top of it, to have a main reservoir out of service during peak fire season. yeah, i mean, that's border negligence. and so we've got to get to the back story of this. but you've got to make good business decisions. running this city is running a business for the benefit of the residents and what everybody should have been saying. we had all the alerts about the firestorm coming in or the winds coming in. why wasn't more done? why didn't we make sure the reservoirs were all topped off? and you should never run out of water? >> you mentioned the vegetation. now, i remember when we had a fire when trump was president and he came in, he said, you don't, rache.
5:16 pm
you're not raking. and i did. we all did jokes about it. but, you know, we got to get over this thing. is he wrong? usually, yeah, but i'm not going to i remember i remember when he took ivermectin or something and then ivermectin, which won the nobel prize. right. and nobody it was like that became snake oil. no. just because trump says it doesn't mean it's automatically wrong automatically. did he have a point about that that we don't? of course he did. okay. >> of course he did. and what we should be doing in this city and what we should do now, we have an opportunity underground. the power lines. well, yes, of course, but when everybody starts talking about rebuilding, yes, we need to rebuild quickly. and yes, we need to get people back in their homes. but we also need to be smart about it because the palisades, just like altadena and god bless the families there too, the palisades is going to remain in a fire zone, so don't go build the same damn thing. >> you know what they did in sacramento? >> what's that? goats. goats. goats. >> work. goats? yeah, yeah,
5:17 pm
man. work fucking goats. yeah. you know, you put them on the hillside and they. and they eat the vegetation. yes. and they're cheap. they work cheap, but. and they give great milk. i've heard people criticize you and say, you know, when you ran for mayor, you didn't talk about the fires. what you talked about was the homeless. and then i read more than half the fires here are caused by homeless. well, the connection is huge. >> first of all, that's wrong. and one of the videos that i made during the campaign, i did talk about the homeless, but i made a video in the campaign saying the fire department needs to be fully funded and if i'm mayor, it will be fully funded. and that video, well, don't the homeless start a lot of the fires? >> the homeless do? >> yeah, they do a lot of fires. >> but bill, think about this. we're the second largest city in the united states, were a world class city. we have fields of
5:18 pm
mothballed equipment because we don't have the money to start it up. we have ten times the calls of service today than we did in the 60s, but we have less fire stations. should people be? none of it makes sense. but we have political leaders that don't prioritize the safety and the livability of our city. and that's the number one job. from should people be asked to defend their own home more? >> because you see this a lot where there's a block and this is not just this fire or other ones where most of the houses are gone and then the ones right in the middle, that isn't because that guy got up on the roof with the hose. yeah. >> not a good idea. >> no, no, i was going to do it. why? why no. >> good doing your. >> i'm going to thug it out in your underwear so your clothes don't catch on fire.
5:19 pm
>> i know it's dangerous. listen, the people, this fire was incredibly dangerous. and i've been in the palisades. i've seen it. you can't even get your head around it. it is so bad, so sad. it literally looks like the area's been carpet bombed. yeah, but, see, and that fire came through so quickly, and. >> but in the palisades, your area did not burn. well, the mall. >> well, my daughter lost her house, right. our my daughter lost her. how do you do differently there? we built it differently. that whole village that we built is built without any combustible materials. we knew we're building in a fire area, so we designed it to the highest levels to withstand it. >> and then we had. we do that with earthquakes. why can't we do it with fire? we could do it. oh, we did it right. >> right. and there's nothing wrong with being prepared. you should be prepared. and then we have this rapid response team and that rapid response team. the minute that high wind advisory went out. we've got companies with retardant and
5:20 pm
we've got firefighters that help to reduce the resources the city has to put on us, that we can free up to others. >> when you call them rapid response, people call that a private fire department. is that is that a fire? >> it's private. >> is that good? >> of course it's good, because by us having our own team there, it freed up la fire department to go take care of other. >> but not everybody can afford the private fire department. >> well they can't. no, but here's what i would tell you. if we have a fully funded fire department that has more resources, you wouldn't need the privates. so. can i. >> can i just say, can i just say one other thing? >> because, you know, people talking about, oh, caruso shouldn't have saved, you know, his downtown village, that downtown village include eight homes that we saved. it include all the retailers in the restauranteurs. hundreds of jobs are saved. we're going to reopen it. people get their
5:21 pm
businesses back. what's not being talked about now are the thousands of people that have lost their jobs, that have no support system the gardners, the pullman, the service people, the delivery people, everybody that works, the waiters, the chefs, everybody is going to have their job back. that has their businesses at our village. that is the right thing to do, and we've got to figure out how to get help to those that need help the most. and there's a lot of people out there. >> what can we do about idiots no, i mean, like i read there are people who like during this, were setting off those things where you put a candle inside a because it's beautiful to watch it go up in the sky. and also fireworks. yeah. look, i don't think california needs a lot more regulations, but fireworks, i agree, i think it's safer if we shut off guns like they do in the middle east. if you want to celebrate. wow.
5:22 pm
>> really? >> wow. or just have the city set off one firecracker thing. fire show. but it causes fires. >> i agree, and there's talk that this was caused because of fireworks the week before and it smoldered. listen, i, i have zero tolerance for that, okay? zero tolerance. >> so you sound like you're going to run again. are you? >> you know, somebody told me last night, instead of running again, just run and. well, but i know i got to tell you, i don't know. i'm i'm. i'm wired to run towards the problem rather than away from it. >> you just told me to get out of the house. that's not a bad. yeah, but i don't know what i'm going to do yet, i really don't. >> it's not a political answer, because right now i want to focus on the rebuilding. i want to call people out that are dysfunctional. i want to call people out that are in the way. i want to do whatever i can to cut the red tape. i want people to build their homes and get this community back up and
5:23 pm
running. there's time for me to decide if i'm going to run or not, but i can tell you, i am just honored that i can at least help in some way. but we've got to get a lot of people involved, and this problem is too big for politics. and i've got zero patience and everybody should have zero patience for politics. and this idea that the federal aid is going to come with conditions and yeah, that's bullshit. bullshit. no. all right. >> thanks, richard, i appreciate it. i'll see you down the road. thank you very much. rick caruso. >> after a big comeback, donald trump begins his second term. history unfolds live on cnn. join jake tapper and anderson cooper as the 45th president. >> donald john trump becomes the 47th. >> the inauguration of donald trump monday at eight on cnn. >> before you go to extremes to fix sagging and wrinkles with expensive injections, try this

5:28 pm
see, that's. we're comedians. we have to make jokes. it's sad. >> everybody needs to laugh. i know, yeah. >> like people were going after the looters. the looters got to loot. that's their job. you know, the criminals, the criminals have to commit crimes, bill. they do. even in the sad situation. but i am from pasadena. my father lived there. my grandma, my great grandmother, his father. different people in altadena. man, it is sad what happened there. you know, when i saw the criticism, which was crazy about palisades fire rich people losing their homes. so this is a working class nightmare too, you know? so many working class families and their, um, what you can call wealth was in their homes, bill. like they have nothing. like, how are people going to rebuild? they don't have funds to rebuild. just even relocate is terrible, you know? so. and i knew i have many friends that lost their homes and it happened like that. like in an instant. i've never seen anything like it. so it was pretty scary. >> what do you think about the. well, you're a strategist. you should answer this one. like about the fact that people are
5:29 pm
saying this is going to change. i was talking to rick about a11 state. we've been a one party state for quite a while now. not that we haven't had republicans in the past, but for the last 20 years at least. i mean, it's just it's just one party. will this change that? i mean, i see things that i never saw, you know, we will shoot looters on sight. right. you know that where the sign used to be in this house, we believe. right? you know, i mean, they took that one down and put up the. shoot. looters on sight sign. you know everything. >> right? >> everything's upside down. you have black people and whites looking at the palisades going, man, what verdict were they mad about? you know, it's like. it's like it's upside down. you know, there is an opportunity now for a political shift in california, and you've already been seeing it happening a little bit already. >> you saw it in this last november election with la district attorney gascon losing to nathan hochman, who was an
5:30 pm
assistant attorney general under george w bush. you've already seen where progressive policies are being pushed away in california in 2020. house republicans california and new york are considered the majority makers in the house of representatives. that's where you pick up those seats to get you into the speakership. california in 2020 really helped lead the charge of turning seats to republicans to bring in a house republican majority. 22 we slipped a little. 24. they've been able to stay competitive in some of these races, like david valadao. but if you look at a state like california, purely politically, you're looking at like a 45% democrat registration, about a 24% republican registration and about a 21% no party registration. you have about an 84% registration rate in the state. because of the political realignment that you've seen in the united states over the last decade. democrats have become the higher propensity turnout voter. what does that mean? it means that in an off cycle year, your non-presidential, your midterm years, your
5:31 pm
special elections, your recall elections where it's not a learned pattern of behavior. most people, if they vote, they'll generally vote one of four. they'll vote in a presidential election. right? these people are more hardwired to vote regularly now. so you are already at a registration deficit of nearly 2 to 1 with republicans. even if you add in the non registered folks, you're going to see that that's almost identical to democrat registration in the state. getting out a low propensity voter gives you generally in the national election with donald trump. that was the shift you saw was that they were going after low propensity voters. those who don't regularly behave in that fashion. right. in order to do that in california, politically, you got to catch like political lightning in a bottle. you got to have a candidate with money. you got to have a candidate who can raise money, and you got to have somebody who can take that coalition of republicans, non-registered and pull from democrats. if you want to be a republican who wins, it's a complete party realignment. >> but people are pissed now. they are, by the way, this is why we need people other than
5:32 pm
comedians, because they know facts and stuff. right now, this i mean, we need this. we need this mixture of. that's right. >> like, you know, even karen bass, you know, i have to give her a little bit of credit. she is the first black person ever to be told to come back from africa. that's a great line, usually. >> that's a great line. it's the other way around. >> but i feel like as we're now here, if you're watching this tonight, it's january 17th. you may be watching this a little later. and trump was already president, but it seems like the mood is very different than his first time in because, oh yeah, it's you know, there's people who are mad that anybody's working with them. there are people who are mad that carrie underwood is singing at the inauguration. i don't know if that's an applause for carrie underwood. i don't know if that. yes. >> she's a i don't know why everybody's so shocked that a country music star is singing god bless america at the presidential inauguration. but
5:33 pm
people have become so fallen in understanding that donald trump won, and he won again. and that has upset people. the fact that he won the first time made people real angry. the second time they're even more upset. and now you're not supposed to be able to celebrate at this point. let normal be normal. let a country music singer go and sing at the inauguration. that's normal. >> or any singer, any singer. >> if you want to go, i get it about donald trump and the things you don't like him. >> i don't about him. i don't either. but you can't hold this hostage to every other part of life would be my view. i saw there was a picture. i think we have it here of him with obama at jimmy carter's funeral. and there's trump making obama laugh. i mean, a hate crime. yeah. yeah. you know, all i want. >> i only want the transcripts. that's all i want. you know, like, because in my mind, in my mind, trump is like, remember when you said i had a small
5:34 pm
dick? it's true, it's true. i don't think he said that. >> and then obama's like, you know, i really am from kenya. >> right? yeah, right. >> you had it right, bro. >> i mean, civility isn't weakness. >> and that's kind of what we've all forgotten. there are only four living people right now who understand what it's like to be president of the united states. barack obama and donald trump are two of those people. if they can sit next to each other. after everything these two men have said about each other, let's not forget only one side is civil. >> when they lose. trump didn't go to anybody's inauguration. well, not nancy pelosi's not going to his. >> yeah, i don't blame her or michelle obama because he didn't he didn't even go to theirs or still hasn't conceded those elections the way. >> well, donald trump did concede the 2020 election. he did. yes. we can find the tape 100%. i know for sure i saw it. >> yeah. where is it? he said, where where is it? >> where is the tape? i don't where is it, where is it? i
5:35 pm
don't. >> i know for sure donald trump didn't he didn't not. >> here's the thing. here's something else. you should not concede it. he did. he said he lost. yes he did. he did it. he conceded that he wasn't president. no. in the 2024 cycle. >> i mean, listen, i know i know the facts. i saw this, i was like, what are you on tv for a living? but here's the thing again. like, why is it that if he doesn't if somebody doesn't want to go, don't don't make them go? like if donald trump didn't want to go, okay. if carrie underwood does want to sing, it's the same idea in reverse. >> let them not go, let them go. disagree with that. >> but if you're the former president, you should participate in the peaceful transfer of power. if nancy, you know, nancy pelosi doesn't want to go at this point, that's different than the president. >> it's it's the least you can do as the ex-president. >> that's the least you can do is show up for the inauguration. are you kidding me? >> well, it looks like they're all going to be there this time. >> okay. >> yes. the other side. exactly. that's. going to be there. >> yes. of course. all right, all right. of course. trump's going to be there. he won. >> but it's funny. they were
5:36 pm
at jimmy carter's funeral. and when i was reading about jimmy carter and i remember it from when he was president, you know, the thing about him was he did not play. he did not play the game. he was truly an outsider. and i thought, trump is the only guy since who's who's kind of the same way. like, i didn't come here to make friends. that was jimmy carter's mantra. and by the way, it worked. nobody liked him. yeah, i thought he i thought he was quite the good president. never fired a shot. and trump is sort of similar in that way to trump's kind of antiwar. you know, he wants to get out of wars, which is sort of a switch on what we used to think of. we used to think of the republicans or the hawks. yeah. >> well, jimmy carter, his problem was he was a micromanager. he wanted to do everything. and then trump's problem is he wants to get credit for everything, right? you know, so those are the two the yin and the yang. >> but you know, but that quality that you talk about trump is the reason why his win
5:37 pm
encompassed so many different people. >> because he's not an ideologue. you know, he's just more of a of a figurehead for a movement or that type of thing. i think that's why it's easier for people who don't necessarily have an ideology or in the middle just say, oh, yeah, i like what that guy says. >> and that's the ideological realignment that i was talking about earlier, is that trump has brought in more of these low propensity voters. and also you're talking about the similarities of jimmy carter and how they have this mentality of like, i'm not in this to make friends. they're also more likely at this point to represent the same kind of voters because of the political realignment, than people realize, because of the shift in the democratic party now to more elites and the republicans to more the the blue collar working class voter that you're that comparison is a fair one, just given the ideological breakdown of parties. >> when we look back 100 years from now, we're going to say, this is where everything changed. in the sky. >> hey, they can't do it like

5:48 pm
of incompetent gen z post-grads who learn nothing in college? i'm getting the answer. is d all of the above. new rules i've got a lot on my plate. stop trying to make me care about blake lively she made a movie i didn't see with a guy i never heard of. and she says he's mean and he says she's mean. if i wanted to tune out while you talk about someone you hate at work, i'd get married here's the only thing i think when i hear justin baldoni, isn't he the guy who shot the health insurance guy?
5:49 pm
new rules you have to admit that of all the thousands of photos of joe biden taken over his four years in office, none captures the essence of his presidency and the burden of office more than this one, entitled why did i come in here again? new rule now that starbucks has changed its policy to require all patrons to buy something in order to stay in the shop, they have to explain why that wasn't the policy to begin with. where do you think you are in europe, where they sit around in cafes for hours, having interesting conversations? this is america where we refuel and head straight back to the machine. this.
5:50 pm
there's no cafe culture here. you're lucky if we get out of the car. new rules, the french woman who was scammed by someone who used. who used ai to convince her that brad pitt was in love with her, but that brad needed money for kidney surgery because angelina had frozen all of his assets. so she gave him 800. so she gave him $850,000 and divorced her husband. this lady must now be set up on a date with the real brad pitt. now
5:51 pm
now, i know that might be difficult, but i think with the connections in the business i do have, and with a little funding, i can get it done. so what i'm going to need from you is a wire transfer for $850,000. that will get me started. and finally, new rule we not may not be able to do much about the weather, but we do need a better plan for putting out a burning city than waiting for rain. america is so partisan now that even when there's a disaster of any kind, so many people choose to defend their own team, even over death. a lot of democrats in this one party state this week went right to don't blame politicians. you can't do anything about the wind, which is exactly half true. the wind part. yes, fire is a tough fight out here. and yes, global warming absolutely makes it worse. but that's
5:52 pm
largely out of our control. what are we going to do, pass a ballot measure to make sure chinese stop burning coal? it's also, yes, undeniably true that la is built in a stupid place to build a city. but when it's not on fire, it's really quite lovely. and it's my home. and stupid as its origin may be, it's not going anywhere. axios ran a story on how getting the water out of the hydrants in pacific palisades was more complicated than it seems. i'm sure it is. i'm sure it's very complicated. that's why i pay 13% of my income in the state every year to people who i assumed were working on things like this. yeah. when asked why so many of the hydrants in the palisades ran
5:53 pm
out of water, governor newsom said the local folks are trying to figure that out. yeah, you got to do that before the fire. yeah. at least in the palisades, the hydrants were still there. 300 other ones around the city are just gone, stolen for parts. one of the three reservoirs for the palisades was offline at the one time of year when it was most needed. la's mayor karen bass the nero of american politics, was fiddling in ghana while the city burned, and later placed the blame on eight months of negligible rain and winds that have not been seen in la in at least 14 years. yeah, that's not that long a time. maybe look in the history books to see how our ancestors handled it back in two and 11. the mayor said about cuts to the fire department's budget.
5:54 pm
there were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation. the fire chief here had a slightly different take, she said. we are screaming to be properly funded and yes, the budget was cut and it did impact our ability to provide service. and by the looks of all the fire engines and the boneyard out of service because we didn't fix them. she's right. expo exposed power lines keep causing fires and keep not getting buried underground because it's expensive. i've heard people say, do you want to pay more taxes to fund this? no, i want you to use the exorbitant taxes you already collect to prioritize it. the power lines that cut through topanga weren't
5:55 pm
upgraded because it endangered an herb. the milkvetch, which sounds like something they serve i mean, talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. you know what the absolute worst thing for the environment is? wildfires. a 22 study found that the smoke from just the 2 in 2020 wiped out 18 years of carbon reduction in the state, which means we suffered the pain of driving those early model priuses for nothing. oh, california is the place that spends money and gets nothing. which is why you may have noticed when the fires broke out, no one escaped by high speed rail out.
5:56 pm
we have the highest marginal tax rate in america, higher than almost all other states. and soon greenland. what is included for that? breadsticks. because it clearly doesn't cover fire. that's government's job. protect us from crime, violence, theft, fire. i'm not saying alabama would have done better with fires by fighting them with prayer in school but look me in the eye and tell me anyone could have done worse. we just got our ass kicked by fire. something neanderthals fought to a tie. the good news is our fire chief is a lesbian.
5:57 pm
how am i against a lesbian being chief? of course not. do i think a lesbian can do the job? of course i do. and maybe she's the best person for the job. or maybe they really wanted a lesbian in that job. and she's just the best lesbian for the job. and with essential services, that's not good enough. crowley's official bio says chief crowley leads a diverse department creating, supporting and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion and equity while striving to meet and exceed the expectations of the communities. well, you didn't exceed my expectations, was that which was that the whole city wouldn't burn down. but it's telling that diversity is mentioned twice before we get to. while while striving to meet expectations. now, can you do two things at once? yes, but it matters where your head is. deputy chief kristin larson said this. >> you want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a
5:58 pm
medical call or a fire call that looks like you, which would sound kind of racist of a southern sheriff, said it. >> so. so, so we should be sending white firefighters to white houses and black ones to who teaches people this bullshit. no one cares what someone looks like when they're pulling you out of a burning house larson also seems to believe that if a female firefighter can't pick up a man, it's his fault. she said he got himself into the wrong place. if i have to carry him out of a fire, well, tell that to these guys, because who pays the highest price when politicians don't prioritize basic services, the first responders are heroes who
5:59 pm
every time go above and beyond because they have to. because we leave it all to them. now, is wokeness the main reason for the fires? of course not. but it's also not wrong to associate some of the unforced errors our government made with the things normies see as hallmarks of uber progressive politics. questionable budget priorities, high taxes that get you nothing, making everything about identity politics, virtue signaling overseas instead of tending to the nuts and bolts at home, cali has no shortage of safety commissions and agencies and bureaucrats and regulators. and of course, sign language interpreters who communicate with their face. but common sense. we better get some of that back soon, because
6:00 pm
wildfires in california are like boob jobs in a strip club, inevitable. and they're only going to get bigger. all right. that's our show. my special. is anyone else seeing this? >> you got to see it. it's on hbo and streaming on max. i want to thank larry wilmore, erin perrine and rick caruso. now go watch overtime on youtube. thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
