“Like the forest fires in California. If we had forest management, you wouldn't have any forest fires. In Europe, you go there, they live, they have forest nations. They call them Austria, different places. They don't have the woods burning down, and heir trees are more explosive than ours. Meaning explosive from potential fire. They have trees and they have, they maintain their forest, and they put cuts in between so if they have a fire it doesn't burn down a half a million acres. They do it properly. Our people don't do that.”
