we will take a look at temperatures and humidity and wind spds coming up. >> thank you. >>> over stretched cal fire crews warning they just don't have enough manpower to contain all these fires. why not? kpix 5's joe vazquez has that story. >> reporter: in western marin county the fire rages out of control. officials say it started on tuesday and took until this afternoon to get tankers head. >> this is the first day we have been able to get aircraft. >> reporter: what is taking so long? officials admit they are frustrated trying to keep up with all the fires. they are overwhelmed and understaffed. >> we are used to lots of resources and that is not where we are at today. >> reporter: the volume of fires is the biggest factor. last year at this time there were 4,007 fires it in california, this year so far 6,754. that is a 68% increase. cal fire have 11,000 firefighters on the ground but they are missing hundreds of key soldiers. inmates. for more than 70 years california's prison system trained inmates to fight fires while earning time off. but because of covid-19 they released thousands

>>that's not a defunding less than 3 million dollars out of a 170 million dollars remaining in the spd's budget this year. instead of the 50% demanded by the movement but council members say it's realistic of what can be done now and a down payment for bigger cuts next year there are significant steps that we're taking in this budget that is continue that this fall will be analyzed and results in. >>both productions and also opportunities for us to invest in community council did do an about-face on cutting the chief's salary by 40% in retrospect that i mean in error i did not have enough information about. >>the impact of this vote they restore the city's first black police chief salary from a demotion $285,000 back up to $294,000 by comparison the seattle times reported the average of 4 spd's 2200 ploy ease is a $153,000 a year. but 3 in a 74 in 2019 may more than 200,000 and 77 made more than 250,000 but the cut of salaries of the 12 nonunion command staff to their lowest pay grade level for the position will remain the executives do not need to be paid. >>$20300,000 to tear gas peopl

why is the spd party convinced he is the best person to fight the next election? i think it is because he is the best man they have got. he is the only man or woman that they've got of this kind of format who could look like a chancellor. he is a popular politician. he has been around for a long time. he was formally mayor in hamburg. he has been finance minister since 2018. by common consent, he has done that job well. he has had a safe pair of hands. he stood for financial and physical property. and stability. that strict line on public debt, for instance. at the moment, he is in the headlines for handing out public money with his bazooka to fight off the negative economic effects of the pandemic. he's won praise for doing that, as well. he is popular. in many ways, he is the only plausible candidate the social democrats think they have got. they are hoping to get the momentum and the initiative as a result. brent: he has been firing off that bazooka a lot the past couple of months. not so long ago, his own party did not even one him as their leader. how is this

i mean, again, ironically, give me a -- give me a good keynesian who will say, "all right, spd more and cut taxes," all right? give me a od keynesiangh now. i don't know what happened to the they're probably around someplace. >> they're not anywhere. in fact, they've been replaced by the advocates of mmt,ar modern montheory. so, larry, this isn't the first time you've been a guest on "firing line." you, of course, were on the original program with william f. buckley jr. in 1998. let's take a look at what you said then. >> how would you rate the negative effect, respectively, of unemployment and the welfare state?hi >> i the welfare state was the single biggest governmental contribution to these problems. somehow, this notion of victimizationot and, "oh, it'sour fault. social conditions made you do it, and we're gonna help you by giving you some money to get through the day," which became the month, which became the year, which became the decade, i think these things would absolutely underminehe whole moral fabric of this country. >> has your thinking changed since then? >> nope, not at

wrong side of those, three polls came out saying the same thing, that we don't back up 50% cut in the spdill see whether or not they listen to the right side this time. >> tucker: they tried that in colorado people got hurt, so good luck and be careful. thank you. we are out of time. we'll be back tomorrow night. the show that is now and always the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. standing by from new york city, which it stands still, the great sean hannity. >> sean: new york city, which means you are stupid to live here because you pay more and if andrew cuomo cooks you dinner and buys you a drink, you're going to pay tens of thousands of dollars if you are dumb enough to come back, and i'm dumb enough to be here. tucker, thank you. >> tucker: at least he is cooking you dinner! >> sean: i'm glad. busy night tonight. welcome to "hannity." the left is getting very desperate and the attorney general trying to dissolve the national rifle association with a new lawsuit. it really? just 89 days before the election. sounds like weird timing to me. so is the state of new

. >> activists are not satisfied with the proposal that came out friday that would cut spd immediately by about 100 officers, 70 of them through layoffs. it asks the chief to illuminate the mounted patrol, school officers, public affairs, and the unit that helps social workers clear out almost encampments. it costs $3 million from the police budget, but two socialists on the counsel want $86 million cut now. >> to say now that we need more time is an insult to the community that is demanding defunding the police now after decades of systemic police violence. especially in black and brown communities. >> the big debate over police funding will take place in the fall when next year's budget is set, and one councilmember does not want layoffs done by seniority, because that would mean less diversity on the force. the idea was floated to keep all officers of color and lay off white officers first. the obvious discrimination has been panned by many, but here in seattle that proposal will get a hearing. harris? >> harris: dan springer, thank you very much. >> the most important message right

and yet it has picked up real spd in recent years, right?it was reported just recently that facebook found thousands of groups and pages of millions of followers and members supporting q-anon. so what has helped to fuel this idea so well? >> you know, it is a reallyor appealing you have really disenfranchised and you want to lieve that the world is about to change in a really important, revolutionary way. and it is also appealing because it allows the q-anon followe believe that they can take part in this great grand revolutionary change. they think that they are conducting an infmation war, by going on social media and posting q-anon memes and spreading these q-an conspiracy theory thes can help usher in this great awakeerning. so it soun ludicris and st but this historic- has a a lot of appeal to people who might otherwise feel like th have voice in the political system. >> nawaz: travis, the fact that president trump has been retweeting some of these conspiracy theories, that congressional candidates are now saying they support these idea

next month e monday the city council would vote on a measure that would cut $3 million from the spd budgetould cost the them 100 officers. they want to eliminate the mounted patrol, school officers, public affairs department and navigation teams that clear out homeless encampments. chief best criticized the council while not contacting here how this would affect public safety. >> they push by the council to do large-scale changes in 2020 with no practical plan for community safety and i believe wholeheartedly that is completely reckless. reporter: seattle police officers guild is trying to put pressure on the council to not cut funding. the union created this ad, sign a petition opposing any defunding plan. so far 150,000 people have signed it. spo-d is planning a rally at city hall. mayor general any ducker jenny durkan, would make the department less traverse. >> that is not how it will work. it will be 100 officers who are less senior. it will be our most diverse recruits. people we brought into the department to be that new vision of the future. reporter: neil, public pressure continue

that is the actual spd for recruitment.part of the job in the administrative services is oversight of these efforts. we are fortunate. he has strong ties to the community to leverage our participation and our eco jobs program for youth. that was under the prior program we partnered with other community group to keep that going for youth engagement. i am offtrack but i forgot to mention that earlier and i want to straighten that up as well. >> i would ask the same question supervisor peskin asked in terms of upper ranks promotion. >> that is a good question. our newly promoted we provided the information on we have 64% people of color promoting to sergeant lieutenant out of 19 total promoting up. it is reflective and consistent with basic numbers for management staff. upper executive level management. as the chief mentioned we don't keep statistics or ask whether or not they are members of the q committee. we have members of upper level commandery negative of the same percentages we have in the lower ranks of sergeant and li

on monday the city council is set to vote on a measure to cut $3 million from the spd budget.partment 100 officers, nowhere near the 50% cut that some protestors are demanding. the council wants the police chief to eliminate the mounted patrol. school officers, public affairs department and navigation teams that help social workers clear out homeless encampments. the chief criticized the council for not contacting her about the how the cuts would affect public safety. >> do these large scale changes in 2020 with no practical plan for community safety. and i believe wholeheartedly that is completely reckless. >> seattle police officers guild is trying to put pressure on the council to not cut funding. police asked people to sign a petition. so far 150,000 people have signed it. they're planning a rally at city hall on sunday. the forced layoffs would make the police department less diverse according to the mayor. >> 100 officers we want to cut and they try to pick out the ones they think the public would support cutting? that isn't how it will work. it will be the 100 officers

but council members say the plan and deeper cuts to spd will be coming soon. >> the results of this historicl enable us to employ the proper professionals to respond with the appropriate resources needed. social services or medical care or armed response when necessary. >> the layoffs will leave the police department less diverse because the last class of recruits was the most diverse ever in seattle and layoffs are done by seniority. the council eliminated the team that helps social workers clear homeless encampments. it has angered the business community. >> i don't think it's very thoughtful in some ways it was petty and hastey. i don't think it will deliver more just policing for black lives in the city of seattle. >> seattle now joins 19 other cities that have at least partially defunded their police departments since the killing of george floyd sparked protests nationwide. so far the cuts total more than 1.37 billion with new york, los angeles, san francisco cutting the most. the covid-19 pandemic and resulting budget deficits from the pandemic are certainly contributing also to this r

i truly believe that we can and must find common ground on the vision for spd.happened way too fast and, will, there was a police chief there, a black female who is well respected who recently resigned and a lot of people are rethinking that. >> carmen best stepped down in seattle. leslie braxton said this, she said she is a unique package of things that make her the right person at the right time. i would hope that members of the city council had long, thoughtful, troubling nights where maybe they rethought their actions and the motivation behind them, because i believe her return would be a moment of redemption for the city. if it remains as it is i think we will have a difficult path moving forward. what we're finding is cities across the country, these ideas, these policies, these concepts that are filling the trojan horse of the democratic platform are even too far left for seattle. [ laughter ] jedediah: yeah, you see good people stepping down because their hands are tied. they can't do their job. they they feel like they don't have support. it's going to
