Cuts despite a lin hemming and hawing are still looking good. But so many details to iron out and fast and peter doocy has more. We just got word from Mitch Mcconnell that he wants there to be a twoweek long budget to keep the government open. As of right now, they have enough cash to keep the lights on until friday. Theres a fight and how long it should be extended. Leadership wants to go till the 22nd. Three days before christmas. Pass a longer term budget so people can head home for a few weeks and celebrate the holidays. Conservatives want people to come back after christmas with a budget that would go till the end of the year. Usually we load up the Christmas Tree with democrat votes. We want to avoid that. That will help us. This is intertwined with the tax reform effort because some conservatives from the House Freedom caucus withheld support about this spending dilemma. It was a big surprise that they did that. Now democrats in the senate say it could be avoided if theyre given a seat at the table. We hope the Republican Leadership can avert more of this unnecessary hostage taking like we saw in the house floor last night which can only impede the serious ongoing bipartisan negotiations. Schumer is telling his republican colleagues in the senate, its not too late to vote no on a motion to go to a conference that would take the Senate Tax Bill and the house tax bill and streamline them so theres one thing that they can pass together and the president can sign. The majority leader mcconnell insists a conference vote is coming. He says its going to happen later on this week and theres a lot of good feelings among republicans that theyre going to get this done by the end of the year, neil. Neil incredible. Theyre breaking pace here. Thanks, peter doocy. The house is not having any of this notion that theyll just rubber stamp whatever the senate came up. Andy bigs with us right now. Thanks for being here. Good to be with you. You and your colleagues are sudden about this issue in the senate to get it passed. I can understand why they did it. You are not happy that they did and you want to remove it. Where does that stand . Since weve gone to committee, were trying to continue our push to get that back the way the house had it, which was to eliminate the amt the corporate side and the individual side. The senate side kept it in because they wanted to fund some additional spending here or there through the tax bill. So you know, within committee, we made our wishes known. Were told well have fierce advocates in the committee. Neil and that means no votes if it doesnt go your way. Im not sure that we get there yet, but i think that people will take a hard look at the whole package once its done. I know that they better not give it to us on a thursday night and say were voting at 9 00 friday morning. Neil the atm has an issue of the debt, right . Amt. Im sorry. So yes. Neil you might have to go to an atm to pay for it. Do you have any sense the way things are going that a rise in the Corporate Tax the senate is prisoner to these deals that require everything to balance out at least on paper over ten years. The idea that they have kicked around, the president in fact raised, is going slightly higher in the corporate rate, maybe 21, 22 so issues like these go away. What do you think of that . Im not a big fan of it, but ive talked to corporations not corporations but their representatives. They think they could live with 21, 22 . But we need to do that immediately. Not the oneyear delay that the senate is talking about. Well be denied the benefit of that substantial Corporate Tax reduction. So we can kick that around, but they need to do this immediately and not pro tract this and say lets kick this down the road a year. We have to get the benefit immediately so the continue will continue to grow. Neil what did you think of your arizona senator, jeff flake, who has had runins with the president sitting next to the president among half dozen senators that had a powwow with him . Politics made strange bed fellows. Looks like theyve have maybe theyre getting over their differences. That would be great. What is the readback in arizona with the back and forth between these two . Flake and john mccain were both yes votes on the tax deal. Are bygones bygones or what . In arizona, people are saying lets support President Trump. Ill speak for my district. My district supports. Trump. They want to get this tax reform package done. They want to see reduced spending. They want to see us enact the trump agenda. Were getting some of it. This will be a big win for the state. I think everybody in our delegation both the senate and the house, we want something positive done for the american people. John conyers as you heard today, congressman, is going to be stepping down. A lot of issues, whether its his son or someone else that moves up. Does that put pressure on republicans to tell any controversies in their bunch, including roy moore, that he should go as soon as he does . I dont know that it puts any pressure on any one party. It says, you know, you have to face up to the facts of what the allegatio allegations, if theyre proven. We have to protect victims. Thats what weve seen here. You have a member of our body who is not a harassment charge but he said look, i was inappropriate. Im going to announce my retirement. So were seeing that happen. What youll see every day, i think, is more and more of these allegations come out. I hope were all learning a valuable lesson. These are very serious things. We need to take care of them appropriately. Neil real quickly back to the fact that youre optimistic this can be signed and sealed by christmas . I actually am. I am optimistic about that. Neil all right. Very good seeing you again, congressman. Thanks, neil. Neil all right. You know, republicans are happy about that. Nancy pelosi not so much. She says if republicans get their way, you know what will happen . Armageddon. Hi im joan lunden. Todays Senior Living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. And theres never been an easier way to get great advice. A place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place. A place for mom. You know your family we know Senior Living. Together well make the right choice. Right in the heart of the was in his financial crisis, and saw his portfolio drop by double digits. It really scared him out of the markets. His advisor ran the numbers and showed that he wouldnt be able to retire until he was 68. The client realized, i need to get back into the markets i need to get back on track with my plan. The Financial Advisor was able to work with this client. Hes now on track to retire when hes 65. Having someone coach you through it is really the value of a Financial Advisor. Neil republicans might be smiling about the tax cuts coming. Nancy pelosi not so much. Can you say disaster . Take a look. All right. I know what youre thinking, neil. Youre using that as an excuse to some of our 20th century fox disaster movies. Nancy pelosi spelled it out. Heres her words. This is armageddon. This is a very big deal. They take us further, more deeply into debt. What can you do but raise taxes . And sink ships and destroy cities. Whole streets. You see any flooding going on now . All right. We have democrat strategist robin here, and allie. Allie, her point is, get ready. Its going to be a disaster. What do you think . Yes, it is. Well, i say if americans keep more money in their pocket is armageddon, maybe its time for the world to end. Nancy pelosi is unhinged. Weve known that for a while now. Weve seen this rhetoric from other people on the left saying this is going to be the end of america as we know it and two, people are going to die. Theres problems with those statements. One, this is not the end of america as we know it. America wasnt built on high Corporate Tax forcing people to have health insurance. People are not going to die because taxes dont keep people alive. The government doesnt keep people alive. Its hard to keep legitimate complaints from the left when this hyperbolic rhetoric is their motivation. Neil i know hyperbolic rhetoric is not just assigned to democrats. I heard a lot about healthcare. They think this is justified. But brie, is there a sense that that will resonate, this fear that democrats have perpetuated, not only are you not going to get as big a tax cut as you wanted, youre going to get chump change compared to the rich and its not true. Weve done comparisons. It is what it is. Thats the perception people have and its a bad armageddon movie, not that we ever made a bad armageddon movie but the fear is out there. I kind of agree with nancy pelosi, that we are i think the taxes do perpetuate the fiscal armageddon that we find ourselves in the we dont fix our spending problem. This tax plan does add over a trillion dollars to the deficit. It does not pay for herself. So i kind of like seeing nancy pelosi act like a budget hawk. Its funny. I get a big kick out of it. But the fact of the matter is, at the end of the day shes lying and they are lying about this being the end of the world in the sense that, you know, acting like people getting a tax cut is this horrible thing for them. Thats just a flatout lie. Theyre doubling individual deductions that people just get off the bat. So its very clear. And in every tax bracket, individuals are getting a tax break, right . So a lot of these are lies neil so you got to go hyperventilate on this. Some of these disaster movies. The one good thing, they breed other disaster movies. Thank god we as a company have cornered the marked on them. Im looking at this and thinking back and forth what will happen versus what wont happen. I think theres is quite correct the point out that there was an obsession about how we pay for these tax cuts and the revenues that might not work out. Nobody said boo about the nine trillion in Additional Debt spending that will accumulate over the same period of time. As if that didnt matter. What do you make of that . Right now, the deficit is in 20 trillion. Neil the debt. Yes. This adds 1. 4 trillion. So the logic here by the gop here is what is a couple more neil i understand what youre saying, both sides play this game. Isnt it a tad disingenuous to worry about the 1. 4 trillion in tax cut revenue and not is a boo about the 9 trillion in spending that brings us deeper in a hole . Were focused on 1 10 of the pie here. I see pies and see the big one and want to eat it. I understand your point, neil. That is a valid concern. The argument that they make though is by taking out more money for this deficit that its going to somehow pay for itself. Thats kind of like me going to the bank and saying, if i take out this big loan, dont worry about it. Neil did you say that, robin, when everybody was spending like a drunken sailor . I dont know. I appreciate the gop fiscal hawks like rand paul and corker. Im glad to see as brie mentioned nancy pelosi stepping up and neil you raise a good point. You touched on it. Im a little frustrated with both parties for not getting serious about this. Americans deserve tax cuts. I dont know if this is the answer. I dont know if this is the elixir. I do know that they didnt take an opportunity of a moment where they could have reigned in the growth of spending. Thats all were talking about. Could you reign in the growth of it. Yes. Absolutely. Neil allie first. Absolutely. I think you make a good point. Rob said that nancy pelosi is stepping up to the plate. I dont know if that is true, if shes being genuine in this. I think shes looking for a reason to slander the republican plan. I dont think she cares about spending at all. I agree with her we should reign in the spending and i agree with you. But to say were adding to the deficit, when have democrats worry about the deficit . They love spending. If thats the only complaint she has, i cant take it to heart. Neil well watch it closely. The next stop is doing something on spending. They have a couple week temporary measure to get us through the hump year before the holidays. Its a sad commentary if thats where we are. Thank you all on this very busy breaking news hour. All of these antitrump messages and we only discover late in the action that the guy that is writing them, well, harbored pretty ill views of the United States, not so ill views of the former first lady of the United States. Eras. Theyre defined by accomplishments. By victories. By those with the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, and the grit to help ensure the next energy to power our dreams, will be american energy. Hows it going down there . Thats good. Lica misses you. Im over it though. laughter thats fine. I miss her more than you anyway. Hey, my window is closing. Yeah thats okay. Alright miles. I love you. phone hangs up yeah i love you too. Neil all right. No agenda . That seems to be what were getting from Robert Mueller and this entire investigation. Troubling revelations for his special counsel and those issues are not dying on the vine. Catherine herridge has more. Hey, catherine. Thanks, neil. This breaking just within the last few hours. A top prosecutor who now works for special council Robert Muellers russian probe praised sally yates after she was fired by President Trump for refusing to defend his controversial travel ban. A lawsuit shows on the night of january 30th, Andrew Weissman wrote to yates the disclosure follows confirmation this week that another mueller investigator, fbi official peter strook was fired for sending antitrump texts. Its not good for the fbi that holds itself up that theres no political motivation and we follow the facts. Thats not the case. The fbi is human beings. Of course it happening. The same fbi agent, peter strook changed comeys draft and clintons emails and her use of an insecured server for government business. He changed the wording from grossly negligent to extremely careless. Gross negligence is part of the statue and its important to know that strook was also part of clintons fbi interview in july of 2016. According to these fbi summaries that were released earlier this year. Robert mueller fired strook because of these allegations against him, neil. Neil thanks, katherine. Youre welcome. Neil we go to the case of the media caught in a bad place on stories pushing on the president. This time it involves the wall street journal that still stands by reports that they are looking in or authorities are looking into the president s banking regards, particularly with Deutsche Bank. Mary, update me on this. Everyone connected to the Administration Says this is not going on. Deutsche bank took the unusual measure of denying this had even happened. Where does this stand . Thats a news side report, not from the editorial page. I have to take the white house at its word that they have not received the documents. Hopefully well get updates in the coming hours. Neil so the argument was that i remember last summer, if im right, mary, there was talk about the president being examined and all his transactions. Even while long before he became president or a candidate for president. He had a number of activities and financings through Deutsche Bank on a lot of project in manhattan and elsewhere. And that it died down. The president at the time had expressed concern that that might be a case of overreach. If it proves true, that this is what is going on, help connect the dots for me. What are they looking for . The Mueller Investigation was a very vaguely worded mandate. So while the original intent was supposedly to investigate socalled collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia, we now know the special counsel has taken that as a writ to delve into trumps business practices, Deutsche Bank connections, possibly other links that he might have had to russia. Neil, you have to keep this in context here. The point of this whole kerfuffle was to say or to somehow imply that the election was rigged and trumps collusion is why Hillary Clinton lost. I think thats ridiculous. To date, Robert Mueller has provided no evidence that that is the case. Neil its still early on as smart folks like you remind me. They spend 7 million on the investigation, which im told is chump change in the scheme of things for investigations that cost tens of millions more. So where are we in this, you think . We just ran a big editorial on Robert Muellers credibility problems. Theres a lot of questions still about the treatment of Hillary Clinton and her aides, who by the way lied to the fbi and were not prosecuted for that. Theres questions about how the fbi treated Michael Flynn, who they originally thought had forgotten his conversation, made a genuine mistake when he was interviewed with the fbi and he was subsequently pursued. Theres questions about why the fbi and the doj are withholding documents from some of the congressional investigators trying to investigate how the fbi treated the socalled steele dossier. Theres questions about the court order that was given that allowed the fbi or other intelligence agencies to listen in on the russian ambassador. Theres questions about how Michael Flynns name was leaked. So neil, a lot of questions here and not a lot of answers. Im personally hoping that the congressional investigators can get the documents that they need from the fbi and the doj to lay this out in public and give the American Public the full story that they deserve. One lawyer i talked to on fbn, its a fishing expedition and this goes to the powers that we grant special prosecutors in these cases to go anywhere and takes them anywhere they want to go. Hence the dustup over what is going on with possible examinations of the president s financial records. That we dont know. Its too early. What is your general sense of where this investigation stands now, what it is targeting . What do you think . Neil we know for sure that the crime of leaking Michael Flynns name has not been investigated. We dont know enough about that. The flynn plea didnt give us a lot of new information because we knew earlier this year that he lied to the Vice President or misled the Vice President. Thats why he was fired. I think the real action, neil, is going to be in congress with devin nunes that is subpoenaing the fbi and the doj, trying to get an explanation of the comey investigation, of this new development that we have with peter strook as Catherine Herridge has reported was fired by the Mueller Investigation and also involved in the clinton investigation. A lot of pieces here of the puzzle that we just Vice President gotten clarified yet. So i would look to congress who is accountable to the people rather than a wideranging special investigator to give us the story. Neil whatever that comes. Thanks, mary. Thanks for having me. Neil continuing our nancy pelosi armageddon theme. Its not like this. This is a separate story. An arctic blast about to sweep across the u. S. Yeah, because of the tax cuts. You cant predict the market. But through good times and bad. At t. Rowe price. Weve helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. Call us or your advisor. T. Rowe price. Invest with confidence. They cahow many of em . E, sir we dont know. Dozens. All right lets teach these freaks some manners good luck out there, captain thanks but i dont need luck, i have skills. I dont have my keys. on intercom all hands. We are looking for the captains keys again. They are on a silver carabiner. Oh, this is bad. As long as people misplace their keys, you can count on geico saving folks money. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Neil now they got the teams in place. Paul ryan picking nine republicans to serve on the tax negotiating team. Youve seen her before, a powerful figure, diane black. Congressman, thanks for being here. Thanks for inviting me on. The bomb shell for you folks in the house is the lastminute maneuver on the part of the senate to get the amt and the idea that an alternative minimum tax, as horrendous as it is, on the individual and corporate side, it can raise a lot of money and solve a lot of problems. You disagree, right . I do disagree. I adamantly disagree. Weve talked about this for years. When the amt, the alternative minimal tax was put in place, there may have been a reason for that. We see this is hitting the people right there in those spots that were trying to help, the people in the middle income. Were all for repealing the amt. Neil i know you want to get this done pronto. Does it trouble you, congressman a lot of people feel that its not going to be a dig deal for them, corporations will get a big benefit. How do you answer that . Do you worry about that . I really dont worry about it. Im listening. We want to continue to listen throughout this process as we go into the Conference Committee and we resolve the differences between the house and the senate. What we know is that this really is going to do what we intend it to do. Something that is a simpler code. 95 of the people will fill out their tax reforms on a single postcard size. Neil you see that . We do. Neil i dont see that happening. Really . Well see when it does occur. It will come back and talk and say, golly, diane, you were right on that. Neil when it comes to tax cuts, congress woman, i think most people would just be happy to have one as it comes to the new york yellow pages if they get a significant tax cut. The perception is that they will not. What do you say to that . We know that across the board theyre going to be tax cuts. Some are growing to benefit more than others. We looked at and our goal was to go to the middle income and give the middle income the greatest tax relief. Its the growth in the economy. This jolt of the economy. Look what the markets have done with anticipate. Sources say that will be a growth in jobs, a growth in cages. My own state of tennessee, there will be about 18,000 new jobs that will be created with an additional 1,800 in peoples pockets. Thats real money. Neil you dont think thats been reflected in these independent groups that have priced it out . They could be wrong. Often they are. I understand. But a lot depends on how you sort out these differences. The senate wants to delay the tax cuts until 2019. Is that a deal breaker for you . It is for me. I dont want to see that happen at all. I may be in the minority in that committee. But im going to fight as hard as i can. We know, if you look back at the reagan tax reform and art laffer will tell me, when they delayed the Corporate Tax, they didnt see the growth they wanted and it wasnt until that occurred that they saw the growth that they had anticipated. Neil youre right. It cost them more than a couple dozen seats in the house in 82. Youre right. Yes. Neil so thats something that you dont want to budge on. You dont want to go higher on the corporate rate as well. The senate has been talking about wanting to lower the top rate more than you do. The house plan doesnt call for that at all. They bring it down to 38. 5 . How do you feel about that . That is room for discussion and may be part of their plan. We went back and forth on that within their own body. We also knew that we were running into a place that we were the dollars were not available to do that and we need to focus on that area in the middle. Now that theres the individual mandate repeal, we have some extra dollars that we can use. Were going to be looking at maybe that being one of those places that we can take that money and fill that hole to lower those rates. Neil john conyers as you heard is going to be stepping down. You think thats the way it should be . Anybody brought up on charges should just leave . We know that that was the case with him. There was a settlement that was done by the lady that had the accusation. So we know that i wish they would have called for his resignation. Thats not representative of who we are as a body. We should not be above the law. I think when someone has those kinds of actions, they should be asked to leave their office. Frankly i think they should do that on their own willingly. Neil would that include roy moore . If those charges are real and they are something that can be shown to be real, then i believe that just like others that are in this kind of elected position and position of honor should willingly leave when those kind of things happen. Neil thanks, congressman, for taking the time. Diane black. Thanks for having me. Neil she will be on the panel ironing out the differences. They have their work to do. We talked about john conyers. Hes going to be leaving. The longest serving members in the house of representatives. Its what theyre cooking up next that is raising just as many hackles after this. This is electricity. This is a power plant. This is tim barckholtz. Thats me this is something he is researching at exxonmobil using fuel cells to capture Carbon Emissions at power plants. This is the potential. Reducing co2 emissions by up to 90 . While also producing more power. This could be big. Energy lives here. Neil all right. The senate has just voted to confirm Kirsten Nielson as the new secretary of the department of security. That will be effective tomorrow theyre going to do the swearing in, make it official. Meantime, you have Michigan Democratic congressman john conyers out a week from now. Talks in alabama that this guy could be in, roy moore, depending on the polls. We discuss about who you allow in, out, but added to a lot of confusion on capitol hill. We have our panel here. Ashley, lets talk about how conyers wanted to handle this with his son assuming his seat, as if. Doesnt that complicate and insult people more . Yeah. Im sure the michigan governor gets to decide. It should be done that way. However, this adds insult to injury saying he wants to continue on his legacy saying the legacy is tarnished that the reports have come out about further allegations from multiple women, the settlements that happened. With him being the longest serving member of congress, theres a lot to be had here as far as discussions. This moved very slowly when it came to his resignation. It took awhile for people to unit behind this on the democratic side, to say this was wrong and he should resign. Things tend to be moving slowly when it comes to political candidates and people in Political Office when it comes to these Sexual Assault allegations. Neil its a lot faster in the corporate world. One of the things that has come up in these cases and for roy moore if hes arrives there and these are decades old charges here. In Corporate America, youre gone. Its immediate and then theyll sort out the details later. Im not trivializing it. They argue its justified because of the cast that is there. But not so on capitol hill. What do you make of that . Its very notable. A lot of americans have been asking themselves the last few weeks why are members of congress or people in politics held to a different standard than others in other industries. Weve seen this as an issue that is pervasive across industries. I think it was significant that conyers did resign today. Its also worth noting this is an issue that is prevalent in both parties. You have Blake Farenthold from texas, a republican, that paid a settlement neil and he opted not to run for reelection. No. That was a separate congressman. Which goes to show that theres a lot of this going on here. Of course, the president , theres been multiple allegations against him as well prior to this during the campaign. So there are a lot of people asking why members of congress, why congress as an institution is lagging. The way in which you report Sexual Assault on the hill. Neil and paying victims offer. Its one thing in Corporate America the one thing that stands out to me, the fact that so many i talked to both parties on this. They had no idea about this for lack of a better team slush legal fund to pay off victims. Someone is signing those checks. Yeah. Id like to call it the hush fund here. Were keeping victims silent. At this point, we need to look at congress and say, what is going on . We want to talk about transparency. Yet the government is the most ineffective and not very transparent when it comes to these allegations that have been happening for quite some time. The only reason its being exposed now is because victims are speaking out and talking because theyre feeling safe in numbers. I applaud them nor doing that and coming out. Its hard to do. Anyone experienced this, including myself i dont know if katelyn has but its very difficult to talk about. While were having these conversations, its important to remember the private nature of things that have been happening for quite some time. This is not a partisan issue. Its a bipartisan issue and democrats and republicans have to come together to be more transparent and find ways to resolve this. Neil one of the things that i find interesting is that people look at it and say, all right, were over the worst of it. Were not over the worst of it. The one thing im curious, katelyn, lets say moore comes in. You have mitt romney saying he doesnt represent us. Dont accept him. You have the president saying he sure beats the democratic big spending liberal alternative that will be echoing whatever nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer want. What do you think . This is an issue that republican lawmakers have been trying to figure out. You have heard now that the president has endorsed moore, you have heard more republicans that wanted to distance themselves from him say that its up to the voters to decide now. If moore is elected, Mitch Mcconnell, the majority leader said he would probably go through an Ethics Committee and take care of it that way. Neil hang on there. I just want to pass this along. An item that just came in. Raise it with you. Jeff flake is apparently written a check to doug jones for the u. S. Senate for 100. He argues country over party. Flake was setting next to the president today among a half dozen senators, i dont know whether he conveyed that to the president at the time. But he is not echoing the mitt romney posture on this accepting roy moore as qualified to join the United States senate. What do you make of that, ashley . I want to mention right now, neil, because this is going to bring me to my next point. Ive been a republican for as long as i can remember, worked and donated on republican campaigns. This is the first time ive advocated for a democratic candidate, in this election. That is the fact that the Republican Party needs to put principle and integrity first. The party doesnt come first and foremost. We have serious allegations and deep thinking to do as the Republican Party to moves forward if this is something neil so you disagree with the president s view, whatever you make of the decades old charges. If you want a democrat in there im at the point of the Republican Party had come out and said things about the Democratic Party not returning donations from harvey weinstein, all of these things, a midst those sexual allegations but here we are supporting a republican candidate because of party lines. We need to look at the behavior here and say i donated 25 to the campaign. Neil i didnt want to just jolt you with that news. It just came in. Thanks very much. Jeff flake has written a check to doug jones, a democratic candidate for the Alabama Senate race for 100. In the memo line, he says country over party. Echoing a theme that has some in the republican establishment clearly add odds with the steve bannon wing that says philosophy over party. Conservatism over this view. Bottom line, this is going to add to some of the drama a week from now when we have that special alabama race. Well be covering it on fbn much more after this. Ron somethings going on at schwab.

Who inspires and pushes us to go further than we could ever go alone. Sofi. Get there sooner. Neil here we go with the weather again. Massive wild fires spreading across certain california. We have adam housley in the middle of it all. What can you tell us . Fire fires are a spreading a cross southern california. This is a tragedy. Firefighters cannot save this home. One of the neighbors whose home has been saved came over here and said the family had to evacuate with their kids. The firefighters, as this home is burning down, are grabbing childrens clothes. They have the same train that my son has and plays with and is around the Christmas Tree. Theres the christmas cards coming out. Grabbing whatever they can. If you look to the left, the home will be lost, neil. The home next to it burned down, the home next to it burned down. This is the only one they have saved. The winds are blowing so strong, gusting 70 miles an hour. We saw a three story home burn down in the middle of town. You can see the firefighters going in and out. Made sure everybody is out of the house. While theyre here, they might as well grab stuff. These are kids clothes theyre bringing out. Its heart breaking to watch this happen. We saw it in the wine country. Now look at the Christmas Tree coming out the door. Again, most important thing is lives here. This is what is happening in southern california, neil. Neil and so fast, right . Just accelerated so fast. Yeah. Some of these fires started in the last hour. These guys havent slept. Amazing. Be safe yourself. Thank you. Count your blessings.
