The Trump administration is now investigating Hassan Piker. The Candace Owens' Hunter Biden situation was wild and we're still seeing fallout. We've got to talk about how American pharmaceutical companies are exploiting the system and making your life harder to save. And why everyone was panicking that California was going to get blown up this weekend. We're talking about all of that on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show, your Monday Memorial Day show, starting with this. There is a state of emergency in California.

Parts of six cities have been evacuated, and we spent all weekend waiting for this thing to explode, literally. And if you haven't even seen a little bit of what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the crisis that's had much of Orange County in an absolute panic since Friday. All because of this aerospace manufacturing plant and garden grove. Because you see, the 7,000 gallon tank full of highly toxic,

a highly flammable chemical called methyl-metacrylate. Well, for some reason, it's still unclear.

It started to get a little hot, then too hot, and then just kept getting hotter and hotter and

hotter. The temperature was 90 degrees. Yesterday morning, it was 77 degrees when we backed out.

It's been averaging about a degree an hour increasing.

Now that was Friday and at that time authorities were certain that there were only two possible outcomes here.

One, the tank ruptures in 7,000 gallons of this hazardous liquid spills into the surrounding area making a fun little mess.

Or two, the tank literally explodes into a fireball that one official compared to those railroad tanker explosions, which gives me an excuse to play this video.

Breaking points.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, wow.

And actually, since the tank in Garden Gross is next to two other tanks, that would mean

more like 34,000 gallons going boom, not just seven. So it was pretty frightening when the fire chief was like, yeah, whichever disaster it ends up being, this thing's inevitable. I cannot emphasize, this is not precautionary. This thing is going to fail. We don't know when. And it's not just about the explosion itself. Even if you're outside the blast radius, you're looking at a ton of noxious fumes going whichever way the wind blows. And with methylomethylite, that means at one end of the spectrum, irritated skin, and eyes, or at the other end, potentially respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, and organ damage. And while it hasn't been proven to cause cancer, long-term exposure has been linked to cardiovascular disorders. So then Gavin Newsom, he declares a state of emergency and roughly 50,000 residents were ordered to evacuate their homes with the lucky family is crowding into shelters and then the less lucky ones having to sleep in their cars are intense.

I'm scared because I don't know what's going to happen and I don't know if anything that already is in the air is going to affect us.

This is my hometown.

And I'm sorry.

And I'm worried for everyone.

And with all this, you're the county's fire chief trying to reassure the people there.

Your protection, your life safety is our paramount responsibility right now.

We know you're out of your homes.

We want to get you back, but we cannot do that until it's deemed safe. So then what you saw is that
