By San Pellegrino Chau now. Hey, hello, Riley here. Welcome to the NOSBIN News for Monday, January 13th, 2025, stand up for your country. Last week of Joe Biden's term, thank God. And I mean that, seriously.

I'm not being sarcastic or facetious, as the president might say, this is no joke. Joe, you've been terrible. You've been awful, and you've heard us all. Now, if you have a copy of confronting the presidents, and I hope you do, Martin Dugard, my co-author and I, wrote essays on both Donald Trump and Joe Biden at the back of the book. So last chapter. And I'd like you to go back and reread them or buy the book and read them for the first time. And you'll see my view of Trump and Biden separately and Dugard's view. And what has transpired? Because we wrote the book, of course, before the vote last November. And it's fascinating. So you might check that out. Now, we have history unfolding in California with these wildfires. And it is very, very troubling to me as an American

citizen. And I'm going to give you right now in the Talking Points memo the best, analysis of this situation, you will get anywhere on the planet. Now, I know I'm bragging, and I don't mean to do that, but I want to get your attention, and I want you to pay close attention to what we're going to present to you. If you think I'm wrong, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, we're always pleased to hear dissent, name and town, of course. So here is the talking points memo. Right now, as I sit here in New York, about 25 people, and I say about because they're searching and they're going to find, death toll is going to be about 50 when this is all over, all right? At least 150 billion in damage, that's going to go to 250. So the fires in

California right now are going to be the worst disaster, natural disaster, in American history. By far, passing Katrina in New Orleans, which happened August 23, 2005. The damage there 20 years ago was about 150 million. This is going to be almost double that when inflation and all that. That's how bad this is. Now, there are two. two tracks here. There is the fire and the struggle to put it out, and then there's the politics around this disaster. There are two things. We here are concentrating on the bigger picture of politics because the other networks and the local affiliates in Los Angeles, they have their people covering the actual on-the-ground stuff. So they do it very well. You

get the pictures, you see what's going on. The anchors have been largely straight. It's the pundins who are out of their blanking minds, and I'm going to deal with that now. So there's a fight right now between Gavin Newsom, whose political career is over, even if he doesn't know it. You can't get through something like this. And the incoming president, Donald Trump, they're brawling. Okay. Trump tried to get California relief in his first term. So he was sponsoring a number of programs that would help with water supply in the Golden State. That is a fact. Now, Congress never allotted the money to do it. So Trump didn't get the legislation he needed. to bring water relief to California.

Why didn't he get it? Because the California legislature, in Sacramento, this is Newsom, okay, objected to a number of things. All right? So they objected to diverting water from the state's rivers into water storage facilities. So the Tuolome River is huge. I rafted it. It's the toughest raft in the country, all right? But the legislature said, no, you can't take any water from the rivers.

Can't do that. Okay? Then the legislation said, you can't divert any kind of moisture, you know, snow melt, rain or anything like that, because it might impact the fish. This is the environmental lobby. It is what they did. It's on the record. So Congress basically said, look, we're not going to get involved with this.

unless you can get it under control in California. That's what Congress said. So Trump didn't get the legislation, although, okay, he had agreement that if the California people would just get out of the way, the federal government would fund. Roll the tape. I got all of the approvals, and he said, I don't want to sign it. I don't want the water.

We don't need the water. I said, you need the water. Your reservoirs are empty. the whole place. You need the water. That was five years ago. And I had it all done. The work was all done. We sent it to him. He refused to sign it. It's true. Okay. Now, Newsom denies it, but the facts are the facts. So the environmentalist crushed all of the federal plans to bolster water supply in California. In addition, the environmental is blocked sweeping the dead wood out of the forest

and on and on and on. You already know that. Now Newsom is caught, and when Trump said he, that's who he was talking about, Gavin Newsom, the government. Newsom's caught, he's on the defense. Roll it. He said, I'm not going to support the firefighting efforts. I'm not going to support the state of California.

California, as it relates to its emergency management. He made this pretty clear during the election, unless they do my bidding. No, he's trying to blame it on Trump. And that's what the liberal media and lobby and the Democratic Party will do in the next few weeks. They'll blame Trump for this. You 100% take it to the bank. So who will win? Trump will win.

All right, because he controls FEMA and a lot of the other things. I do expect the president, the new president, to go to California. I don't have that confirmed, but I expect him to go, perhaps as early as next week after he's inaugurated, out there on Air Force One, and say, hey, here's what we're going to do. I don't expect him and Newsom to appear together. That's a blood feud right now. All right, now I appeared on News Nation on a Cuomo program on Thursday talking about this. Go. So everybody in California knows that the ecosystem there is dangerous and fragile.

Everybody knows there are going to be fires. There are going to be mudslides. Pacific Coast Highway is closed now, south of Big Sur. Everybody knows that the ocean is ferocious and this is a state that is going to be besieged all the time. Nothing has been done by the progressive leadership to prevent any of it, nothing. So, coming up right after me on Cuomo was John Garimendi, a Democrat. He's in Congress, and he used to be the insurance commissioner. He's what he says. Go.

Beyond that, there's an ongoing insurance crisis in California and in Florida, as you discussed with Mr. O'Reilly, which, by the way, I've never heard such garbage. in such volume, so loudly and inaccurately displayed by anybody other than what Mr. O'Reilly did tonight. Put that aside for a moment. There is an insurance crisis. John, John, don't just take a smack at him. What did he say that you disagree with? Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

See Chevron, Texcores.com, from more details. I'd rather get back to insurance. Yeah, of course he would. Because he's an ideal. I didn't have anything. He knows what I said is true. He knows the state didn't do any preventive measures.

Well, I'd rather get back to insurance. Okay, I don't mind attacking me, but back it up. And if you don't back it up, you're a pinhead. Which I think is pretty obvious. Okay. So we're invested in the truth here. truth here. We're not invested in advancing anybody's cause. We just want to protect people. Do we do here? All right? So then you segue over to the media, predictable MSNBC. I don't know how

they stay in business. This is what Jen Socky said. Go. Donald Trump and his allies are injecting half-truths, misinformation, and flat-out lies in some cases in order to score a version of political points, I suppose. We saw something similar to play out just this past October in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Milton. Nemasaki doesn't say what they are, what the lies are. No, no, can't be bothered with that. Now, this is an interesting soundbite.

The governor of Florida, which has obviously natural disasters and insurance problems as well, DeSantis. He goes right after the left-wing media. Go. Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and to try to create narratives anytime these things happen now you're not as interested in doing that because newsome is a d if newsome was a republican you guys would go try that you would have it nailed to the wall for what they're doing over there and i know we've dealt with it we just assume in

florida anytime something happens it's going to be politicized uh by the media yeah and it will be more facts so the city of los angeles had 820 million dollars budgeted to fight fires before this catastrophe, okay? Homeless, a billion dollars. More money, substantially more money to give drug addicts and mentally ill people direct money, subsidies, so they can do whatever they want, unsupervised, then fighting fires in the nation's largest county. That makes sense to you.

A billion dollars, so these people can run around and do whatever they want, buy drugs all day long? Does that make any sense? It's the reality. All right. Since 2019, California has spent $24 billion giving homeless people stuff. $24 billion. That's $160,000 per homeless person. not even close to preventing natural disasters or trying to, you know, mitigate the forest, the water shortage.

Not in come close. This is progressive governance. This is what they do. Those stats, by the way, come from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. All right. Now, we go way back to 2018 when Donald Trump was president the first time around. go California is a mess we're giving billions and billions of dollars for forest fires in California there's no reason for those fire fires to be like they are they're

leaving them dirty there it's a disgraceful thing old trees are sitting there rotting and dry and instead of cleaning it up they don't touch them they leave them and we end up with these massive fires that we're paying hundreds of billions of dollars for it to fix and the destruction is incredible. That was six and a half years ago. And they didn't do one thing, California authorities, not one. All right, I was going to do the race stuff, but I'm not even going to bother doing that. So there are a bunch of people that saying Karen Bass, the mayor of L.A., totally booted this. And the only reason she's getting criticized is because she's black. You should know that.

But I'm not even going to bother with it. It's just ridiculous. And that's a memo. All right, let's bring in our pal, Adam Carole. Unfortunately, Mr. Corolla's home is undefined at this point because he was evacuated, I had to evacuate, and it doesn't know, right? Am I right now or did you get new info? You don't know what the status of your home is, right? I got new info recently that it's intact. I'm in Malibu, sort of right in the middle of Malibu, and everything in front of it and behind it is destroyed. but miraculously, the fire went over my dwelling and out onto PCH and then destroyed everything in front of me. Wow. Well, I'm glad that you are, you know, your house is safe, but you can't live there for a long time.

You can't go back to that house. You know that, right? Yeah, there's no electricity at this point, and we don't know about smoke damage and other forms of damage and just sort of infrastructure and then. soon as the rains hit the mudslides are going to start and when the mud slides start they're going to block off uh pacific coast highway and then the canyons that lead there and there's no other way to get there other than pacific coast highway and uh a canyon or two so and then you're going to have the pollution too of the fires and the air quality and it's just going to be on and on i estimate Number one, that Los Angeles County will not recover for five years. It's going to have long.

It's going to take them to recover this. You might be able to get back into your house this year, but it's going to be dicey. Now, you've lived out there for your whole life. I think you're 87 years old now, right? That's right. I'm two years younger than you. Right. You're 60.

You've lived out there your whole life. You live in Malibu, which is a high-risk neighborhood. Have you ever seen the state? take preventive measures around your house to mitigate a possible fire the state is not good at nuts and bolts things it's good at you know feel good stuff like the west hollywood patrol cars have the gay flag on the side of them which is important so we do stuff like that we do a lot of things that are sort of window dressing but we don't do nuts and bolts legislation and no if there's a mudslide on pacific coast highway takes six months to clean up a pile of dirt the size of a minivan so everything is slow and let's not forget that a lot of the problem with the fires i mean you've spoken a lot and played clips of trump talking about cleaning up the bed and the floor of the forest and

and preventative measures, aqueducts, things like that. I've spoke to firemen in Malibu, and they say most of the fires they put out are caused by the homeless. As a matter of fact, they said basically all the fires we put out are caused by the homeless who camp up in the hills, get high, pass out, smoke, and crack, fire ensues. That's number one. Number two, PCH, Pacificos Highway, is festoon with 100-year-old power pole. made of rotted wood that all immediately fall over in a high wind or in a fire and then live power lines are all over the street and they inhibit the firefighting obviously they're danger you're spraying water you have live five live lines buzz around so we don't even bury the power lines we've been trying to bury the power lines for years and there's no movement on it and a lot of my

caused by this. Yeah, the squirrels might get upset. And I'm being sarcastic, but isn't that the crux of the matter? That there's always a reason not to protect the citizens. There's always some kind of woke reason. Isn't that the truth? No, we have the Coastal Commission. Coastal Commission is unelected,

eight or ten sort of hippie lesbians who are angry at their dad. and hate everyone who lives in Malibut along the coast in Orange County and they just make proclamations and we try to get a water desalization plant going or we try to develop the wetlands or whatever it is and they just say no go literally pound sand so we have these little groups of angry mostly women mostly young and they're super woke and they're super progressive and they don't even live along the coast because they can't afford it and they're angry at any who makes a good living and they have ultimate power and that's the way we roll here in California. What about Newsom though? I mean he's a pretty powerful governor and I want to be fair to Newsom has he done anything in his entire tenure in Sacramento to protect the citizens of California from these national disasters? Give me anything. I've never heard him pull up to a microphone and say anything that would be considered pragmatic. He talks about, you know, the LGBT community constantly and he talks about everybody having a voice and a seat at the

table and nobody's illegal and we're starting, you know, we're going to be a sanctuary stay. Basically, here's what, here's where Newsom goes south and here's where all the progressive Democrats go south. Here's where it all falls apart for them. They fight Trump. on everything that Trump says. So if Trump says, let's beef up the border, they go, we're not beefing up the border. They go build a wall, they go tear down the wall. They go clean up the forest.

He goes, we're not cleaning up the forest. He goes, fill the aqueduct. We're not filling the aquediths. They are so stupid and knee jerk that if he said the sky's blue, they'd say the sky's red. Well, it is now in California, but it's on fire. The best coast just got better. Introducing Quantum of the Seas sailing from L.A. this fall.

home and much more. With offers, over-offertas. I can go back every day to be how to I can't afford. My kids and I expect with anxious

the liquidation, because it's very calient to perverselah. Burlington, Marks, Rebaugh. Wow. They've screwed themselves

by literally doing the opposite of everything Trump has. suggested now you can disagree with Trump but much of his policy is pragmatic and you just disagreeing with pragmatic stuff to disagree is going to end up biting you in the ass and that's what happened to Newsom final question nobody knows Karen Bass who's the mayor of Los Angeles City is she as bad as people are

portraying her she's a long-time progressive LA Democrat politician. So she's horrible just from that pedigree. She also spent a lot of time in her youth going back and forth to Cuba and was involved with some group that sort of loved Fidel. So she's got that, you know, progressive left-wing bona fides thing going, which means she's not going to do anything. She's going to hang around. I mean, she was in Ghana taking a trip when all this went down. Yes, she's horrible. We could get someone like Rick Caruso in there, someone who builds things, someone who's pragmatic, someone knows how to manage people and funds. But L.A. is way too progressive for that. Hopefully we're coming down to Earth now. I don't know who she is.

I don't know what she stands for. I'm sure she's horrible. And if you look around, L.A. has more homeless. It's filthy. L.A. is filthy, by the way. There's garbage and graffiti everywhere. Everywhere. Look, I wrote a column of it. She can't clean up. Two weeks ago, two weeks ago is in West Wood, right adjacent to UCLA, at the hotel there, okay, the W Hotel. Shocking. The hotel was nice. But Westwood itself used to be one of the premier neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Shocking.

Anyway. There's garbage and homeless everywhere, so she can't run a city. How can people watch you, Corolla, on your podcast? Just go to Adamcrawler.com, and it's all free, and I'm there every day. All right. Well, look, if you need anything from us, let us. snow and that's not an empty thing to say Corolla I've known you a long while you need anything you let me know and we'll make it happen okay thanks Bell I appreciate it

okay now the insurance situation I didn't know this but California does not require that you have home insurance okay you don't have to have it so a lot of the insurance companies have sky high rates there and you don't have to buy them premiums because they're very expensive. In addition, the legislature has capped in the bad areas like Malibu and other high-risk areas, capped them so all state and state farm and these places are gone, well, we're not even going to insure anybody who lives there. So a lot of people who didn't have insurance in California. All right, Joe Biden schedule a day gives a foreign policy address.

The State Department means nothing. Then he goes back to the White House for a briefing on the wildfires means nothing. And Harris is going to be in that briefing as well. Now, Harris, interesting enough, canceled her around the world junket, which was, you know, ridiculous, saving taxpayer, you know, what do we say, $50 million? But somebody tried to break into her house, apparently. Two people were arrested 440 Saturday morning. Brentwood, California, near her house, cops took them into custody, but they'll let them right out.

It's pretty dangerous. I don't want anything bad to happen to Biden or Harris. And I know in L.A. and New York, they'll let you out. They don't really care what you do. That's what the progressive tenant is. All right, confirmation hearings tomorrow. We got Pete Hegseth in front of the Armed Services Committee and the Senate. Senate. Then on Wednesday, Pam Bondi, we'll go in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Marco Rubio will go to the Foreign Relations Committee, and then on and on and on. Here's something interesting, though, about these hearings. So, RFK Jr., who I don't think is going to make it. His hearing is until the last week of the month. They're putting head off. Tulsi Gabbard next week. Cash Patel, not until February. I think Patel will get in. Okay. So we'll keep, you know, we'll keep you posted on all that. Another interesting story, you know, these drones and all over the place, I saw one, and Biden won't tell us what they are. They won't. Trump says day one, after his inauguration ceremony, he's going to announce the information federal government has about drones. But here's a story

nobody knows about. December 11, 2004, an unidentified metallic object's got to be a drone, hit a private jet, causing the jet to make an emergency landing in West Palm Beach, right across the intercoastal from Trump. And they still don't know what hit the plane. It's got to get under control. Can you imagine President of the United States refusing to tell us what these drones think? What is that? I'm telling you, stuff is going to come out about Biden.

Once he leaves office, it's going to be a flood. You just mark my words. Smart life. So I got a letter from a concierge member. Once again, concierge members, and we have a flood of them now, thousands and thousands of them, they have a direct line to me. If they get a problem, I will help them. My team will help them or try to help them.

So Bob writes to us. He goes, in late September, Google all of a sudden made me sign into my four email accounts. I couldn't, but with the help of a computer consultant, I got it to two of them. The problem was my backup phone number was disconnected when I left Alexandria, I guess, Virginia. After spending countless hours and about $400 at the Geek Squad, I still can't access my two remaining email accounts that's causing me big problems. Now, we can't directly help Bob because we can't force Google to do anything. But I decided to take Bob's letter and use it as a smart live segment because there are things that you can do to prevent this. You cannot count on major corporations like Google and Facebook and Instagram to do anything.

They won't. So you have a number of email accounts. You need to back them up, all right? So you got to keep records of all of them and records of who you send emails to and what you get back. And you have to have backup email addresses to all of your accounts so that you are not,

if Google shuts off when you have a backup address to it. All right? And then you have to back up all your important document to a hard drive. Now, I don't put any document ever on social media on a machine, ever. all right my attorney has them paper because it can vanish this is big for your life because a lot of people their whole life is on the internet i don't do business on the internet i don't send money on the

internet i don't do any of that because you are never going to reconcile a problem ever authorities aren't going to get involved. So you've got to do it yourself. Smart life. On the best tips I've given. Stay in the history, January 13th, 1929. Wyatt Earp dies, 80 years old, Los Angeles. One most fascinating historical stories in our history.

So, Wyatt Earp was born in Illinois in 1848. Okay? His family, after the Civil War ended, 1864, went by a covered wagon from Illinois to San Bernardino, California. That is a stunning trip in 1864. All the Uy Earps went. They didn't like California because there was nothing there but wildfires, you know. And so they came back to Missouri. But then I take that cover wagon back, you imagine.

And this is Wyatt Earf's childhood. All right, so then Wyatt Earp gets into law enforcement. He goes to Dodge City, which is a big, at that point in history, cattle transit point. From Texas up to the rest of the country, they had the cattle and sold and bought in Dodge City. Rock is, Wyatt Earp was the marshal. Are you ready to dairy-free your mind?

Then he gets tired of that. He goes to tombstone, Arizona, where there's gold, prospecting, silver, everything going on there. And he becomes a law enforcement there. Then he gets involved with a shootout, you know it, the gunfighted OK Corral with some gangsters. He and his brothers kill the gangsters. They get charged with murder, the Earps, they get acquitted, the gangsters come back, they kill one of the Earp brothers. It's a mess, continual mess. Then Wyatt Earp decides, hey, I'm going to go to San Diego.

That's not a tough trip from Tucson. This is a straight line right over through Imperial County, which he does. And he dies and he migrates up to L.A. where there was a little bit more going on. God of chronic cystis, C-Y-S-I-T-I-T-I-S. On January 13th, 1929, the age of 80. Okay, back at a moment with the final thought. Okay, it's the final thought of the day. As you know, the inauguration is Monday.

We have a special, my book, The United States of Trump, and a stand-up for your country mug or one of our good mugs together. No spin mug. Okay, we're changing them. No spin with the American flag. Together. Now, the United States of Trump is massive bestseller, number one, on the New York Times list. What this book is explains Trump, the man.

Not a policy book, not an ideological book, none of that. Who he is. Now, I've known a man for 35 years. I think I know him as well as any journalist historian knows them. And the book's honest. Okay. News Nation, and again, I'll be on there tonight with Vittert and Wednesday with Cuomo, and that's every week.

Came to me and said, look, can we do a documentary off the United States of Trump before the inauguration? I said, yeah. so we shot it on Friday and I'll tell you what if you want to know and you don't have to like Donald Trump but if you really want to know about him why he does what he does the whole history about his movement so the documentary will be on I hate to use the word documentary because it's more about it's like a movie and it's going to be on news news news news and at 8 p.m. is, no, 9 p.m. Friday.

I shouldn't know when my own show is going to be on. 9 p.m. Friday night. And then it'll rerun it at 8 p.m. Sunday night before the inauguration on Monday. You got two shots at it. But you want to see it on Friday. Because this is going to be big. Millions and millions of people will see it.

It's not about policy. at all. There are a few things. Vitterd is, Lillen Vitter is the interviewer, and he asked me, well, why is Trump doing this? Why is he doing Greenland? Why is he doing, you know, so there's a bit of that, but it's more, I don't say this is good, this is bad, blah, blah, boom, and I don't do that, all right? I explain the reasoning behind it. And I also tell stories never before heard. ever about Donald Trump because I witnessed them so tomorrow in this slot final thought I'm going to run you a three-minute teaser on it and then Thursday we'll have a little bit more for you but I want to flag you so you can put it down on your calendar everybody's busy

these days and all that but really it is worth watching one final comment on this As you know, if you follow me, I'm no Cupcake guy. I can't tell you how many times the last 14 months, Donald Trump has expressed dismay directly to me about stuff I said about him. And I always have the same reply, I go, look, I have to see it, I have to tell it the way I see it. And sometimes you're not doing the right thing in my opinion. You're not perfect.

all right so there's no cupcake here this is the truth as i like to say and i think trump respects that i think he does he wouldn't give me three hours of his time on january second if he didn't respect it and i didn't even know i was doing the documentary on january second that that just whipped up fast So I'm going to show him three minutes, Trump, three minutes. I'm trying to pick out the clip to show him. I think that's only fair. He doesn't have any sway over it. He can't say, no, I don't want you to use that.

I'm going to use what I want. I never. I got a letter today about somebody saying, hey, did you show Donald Trump the manuscript of United States Trump before it was published? I said, no, I'll never do that. I never do any of that. But I think out of respect, I got to get my heads up. I do it for Biden if I were doing a documentary on Biden, and I might do one.

Absolutely might do one on Biden. But I don't know him at all. I met him once, brief conversation in D.C. So I can't give you Biden personal. I can't. I can give him Biden policy. But Trump, I can really give you stuff. don't know. So anyway, I'm looking forward to the reaction of this. This is going to be big.
