when he invited me, he said just of you know, we have heather mcdonnell -- you had me at those. i don't need anymore. it is a good question. i've always been politically interested for macro investing, you are always politically adjacent to geopolitics. people ask me, what is macro investing? we live at the edge of geopolitics, economics, and gravity. eventually gravity wins. so, for a long time i've been analyzing political situations, economic situations, and i just decided that 2023-2024 is important for me to come out from behind my desk, because i think we are at a very unique moment here. i would list three reasons, or three things i'm focused on as, one, just in the u.s., i'm alarmed by the size of these deficits and the spending. we do not have a tax collection problem. we have a spending problem. i have never really seen -- well, we've never seen anything quite like this. i am an economic historian. for better or for worse, i can tell you what the budget deficit was under lyndon johnson in 1967 as a percent of gdp. this is really alarming in terms of this 6%, 7% deficit

to and we love our john mcdonnell r fast food. donald's. they're going to value big time this year. there's a $5 meal which you're probably familiar with. it will be like a big mac fries and soda. there's also going to be at by one at regular price. get 1, $4, maybe buy big mac for 5 or $6 and get the second one for dollar. plus, there's an abuse out promotions to try to let the different franchisees in different states with structures had to survive and thrive. because these are big moneymakers. they just get volumes. come back. all right, so, rob, let me just jump in real quick and we'll get back to our discussion a second. just want to point out for folks that have been following that the casket of former president jimmy carter now making its way onto the aircraft that will transporting it to washington, d.c., again for those national ceremonies and ultimately the funeral on thursday. we just noticed that they were moving his casket from the hearse to the plane. so we will wanted to update everybody on the latest with that. all right. let's get back to rob now winners and losers

mayor bass, chief mcdonnell, myself, our city leaders are fully, fully committed to ensure that we're ready for this next event. >> while they may be ready, there's still a toll to be taken on the firefighters and the communities they're trying to protect. >> our hearts go out to them. it's really horrific and we hope that no one else has to continue to experience these type of fires in the future. but i think that's probably an unrealistic expectation, unfortunately. >> tara campbell abc seven news. >> let's get to abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian with a look at the wind conditions on these fires. and spencer, there's a dangerous situation that's shaping up this week. >> it certainly is, diane. and becoming more dangerous. as a matter of fact, this red flag warning for high fire danger has been extended now until 6 p.m. wednesday. so for the next three days, we're talking about very high fire danger in this entire region of southern california, from santa barbara county through la and ventura counties, all the way down into san diego county. as a matter of fact, i'll g

i will amend what chief mcdonnell said. not only if you're on the west side or in the valley, anywhere in this city, if you can stay off the roads, please do so. i live in south l.a., a long way away from the fires. visibility is less than one block because of the smoke, so if there is not a good reason for you to be on the roads, we ask that you that you leave the roads open as possibly as you can to the public safety professionals that have to do their work and will lead us out of the crisis that we face here in the city of los angeles and the county of los angeles today. also, lastly, just grateful for the work of the president of the united states. kicked in for us late last night, who happens to be in southern california. the governor was with us in the pacific palisades last night and has helped out in a range of municipalities around the county and outside the county have come in to help where they can. and we're extremely, extremely grateful for their help in this time of crisis, for our city and our county. and wit

county which includes my multidaily conferences with jim mcdonnell from the los angeles police departmentthere were a lot of things going on. a lot of moving parts. but remember this, for anybody who was watching. we weren't dealing with one fire. we weren't dealing with two fires. we were dealing with multiple incidents all around our county and i have to tell you from a first responder perspective we're still answering 9-1-1 calls we are still responding to people who are asking for help throughout the entire county of los angeles, so i just like to throw this out and you're going to ask tough questions we need to answer those tough questions. but man i'm telling you i'm so proud and i can speak from the policing side of it. our deputy sheriffs because most of them haven't had a day off. most of them haven't seen their families. but they're out there, i've run across many of my employees who have tears in their eyes because they're seeing the devastation and it is impacting them. it is impacting their families. not to mention i've spoken to at least four of my employees who have lost th

all this because this morning, the chief of police here in los angeles, jim mcdonnell, said that theysimply can no longer escort people to their homes, that they were overwhelmed with the requests. and those requests were taking so many resources. and now the winds coming back up and they're trying to get some cadaver dogs up into these areas, so they might be might become active crime scenes on top of that. so all of that just being shut down, we spoke to some of the residents that are dealing with that frustration. i want to play for you a little bit of what they said. >> i have to go wait in line in my car where i can ride my bike up really quickly and check my properties. >> they're saying that they're not allowed to do that. >> they're not allowed to anybody. i tried yesterday, i tried a couple of days ago. nothing. >> their argument is that it's still the fire is still burning. the gas lines are still on in some parts and that it's just too dangerous. what do you think? do you think it's too dangerous? >> i agree. you know, save lives before anything else. i understand. >> yeah,

next we'll go ahead and then pass this off to police chief mcdonnell. thank you. thank you. chief. >> mr. president, it's an honor to be able to be here and be part of this and represent the men and women of lapd and policing to support our partners in the fire service. what we saw here in the last 24 hours is unprecedented. i've never seen anything like this. fire is driven by the type of winds that we saw up to 100 miles an hour. our role out there is strictly support to be there for evacuations, to get people out of the affected area, to be able to provide for traffic control and then crime suppression. as the fire is fought and some may come in and try and take the opportunity to go into these homes and steal from them. so we're going to be on top of that. i just want to say the relationship we enjoy here, in my case under the leadership of mayor bass, but all of our elected officials is unlike, i think, anywhere else in the country. we are blessed to have the relationship between police and fire that we do here. unfortunately, we do this kind of thing frequently, never

county, which includes my multi daily conversations with chief jim mcdonnell from the los angeles police department. so there were a lot of things going on, a lot of moving parts. but remember this for anybody who's watching, we weren't dealing with one fire. we weren't dealing with two fires. we were dealing with multiple incidences all around our county. and i got to tell you from a first responder perspective, we're still answering 911 calls. we are still responding to people who are asking for help throughout the entire county of los angeles. so i'd just like to throw this out and you're going to ask tough questions. we need to answer those tough questions. but man, i'm telling you, i am so proud. and i could speak from the policing side of it. our deputy sheriffs, because most of them haven't had a day off. uh, most of them haven't seen their families. uh, but they're out there. i've run across many of my employees who have tears in their eyes because they're seeing the the devastation and it's impacting them. it's impacting their families. not to mention, i've spoken to at least fo

i want to assure the residents within our incredible city of los angeles that mayor bass chief mcdonnell and i are in lockstep together, and that we will utilize every single resource at our disposal to ensure public safety and that we. holistically protect angelenos. >> the fires are already blamed for at least 11 deaths. officials indicating this morning that at least 13 others are missing at this point. more than 100,000 are now under evacuation orders. officials say two of the four fires have some significant containment. the palisades fire, which is the largest, has about 11% containment. the eaton fire is at 15% containment. some have questioned their response to this disaster. but at a press conference earlier today, l.a. county fire chief pushed back on those criticisms. >> we staffed all available reserve apparatus prior to the start of the palisades fire. i did everything in my power to make sure that we had enough personnel and resources before the first fire started. all of our surrounding states are here right now fighting this fire. so it wasn't for a lack of preparation an

obama won virginia and then we came in once again, bob mcdonnell won for governor for 17, 17 points. and i won a district that was very blue and when i first started running, everyone patted on my my head and said, oh, cute little girl, what are you doing running? there's no way you can win. and six other republican in northern virginia won with me. so do not despair. we go back and forth and in the 21st century, we have had 11 change elections out of 13, meaning that either the house, the senate or the white house has changed hands in each election every two years. so the only time they haven't changed is in 2004 and 2008. in the bush reelect and in the obama reelect. so i know you're hearing everything about this huge mandate and all these things, but it's a lot less than it seems, i would say. and look to virginia next year, i think you're going to see, you know, pretty quick change. we did not vote there. but yes, you have a rollover house right now that will do anything for donald trump that they ask today. you had a member of congress say on the record, actually, you know, when

secretary mcdonnell had the good chance to pull the plug after its -- went so poorly. the second supply chain effort has been on indefinite hold since the subcommittee exposed its poorly defined objective and the life cycle cost estimate. finally, secretary mcdonagh and their teams came to their senses before moving forward with a nearly $1 billion human capital management modernization contract. mega-projects sound good in theory but in reality, they're always overdue, overbudget and that's unacceptable for the veterans and taxpayers. at time when a v.a. has come to us with more than a $6 billion budget deficit, the department literally cannot afford to operate this way anymore. mega-projects are also incombattable with the best practices that took told the software industry more than a decade ago. i'm talking about agile incremental development, small scale deploys, testing by real users and component-based architecture. we're going to hear about successful use of these practices from our panel of independent experts and hopefully, from our v.a. witnesses as well. we
