Also, Crooke's last bit on "DEI/Gender" causes for the CA fires is straight MAGA bollocks. Revealed himself a bit there.

I went back to see that again ... Crooke made a strong statement regarding the water not being in the reservoirs, which is mismanagement off the scale during the season of wildfires.

As a footnote he mentioned the gender issue in fire services. Rather than framing it as a MAGA bollocks do you have evidence that this is not true? Also Crooke doesn't talk about gender issues normally ...
