his second term. Everything's different. All right. That was a little side conversation there.

Apparently there was a fake alert that went out to everybody's phone in LA County saying that they needed to get ready to evacuate. This turned out to be just a mistake. The alert told people to gather loved ones, pets and supplies and get out of town. And it happened when people were the most frightened and thought it could be coming for them. And it was fake, meaning it was an accident. So remember that Victor Davis Hanson analysis that it was a total system breakdown? Well here it is again. They didn't even have a system to make sure that fake emergency alerts didn't go out in the middle of an emergency. That's the level of competence it would take to get there is pretty extraordinary. But the incompetence is probably the system. I don't think it's necessarily that one person pushed the wrong button. It could be. But why is that the system? Why is one person allowed to push that button? It seems like at least a few people should be standing around when the button gets pushed to make sure that that's the intention. I don't know. Get a better system.

Elon Musk donated a bunch of Starlinks in LA and this is cool. Apparently T-Mobile customers were having trouble because probably the towers got burned or something. But now Musk very quickly tied T-Mobile into Starlink and you can text. So if you're on T-Mobile and you suddenly can text, you can't make a phone call but you can text. That's because of Elon Musk. Without Elon Musk everybody with T-Mobile would be completely cut off during an emergency. I mean it looks like they have been for some time, but this is gigantic. The level that Elon Musk can contribute to a Ukraine war or an emergency now twice I guess, several times I think, it's extraordinary. So just congratulations on that.

Meanwhile the California National Guard is moving in. We've seen out-of-state police moving in. So the fires have turned into an organized crime and unorganized crime problem. The looters are organized. There are lots of them and it gets worse. Now this is fog of war stuff but it's what's being reported. Could be overblown, could be underblown, I don't know. That some of the bad guys, and they seem to be from a migrant community, and again that's speculative, they seem to be setting fires to increase the number of places that they have to loot. Because if they can get people to evacuate while they're there they can get the good s
