BARTIROMO: Have we ruled out all outside agitators?
TEPPER: No. In fact, I think there were videos of some arsonists creating new fires. So no, I dont think thats been ruled out at all and given the terror attacks that we saw on January 1, I mean, its certainly not outside the realm of possibility that thats happening. But you know, whats happening right now at least for me a lack of mitigation standpoint prior to this has to do with the fact that California is effectively a one-party system. And when youre operating under a one-party system, theres no accountability from the other party to help you make sure that youre doing what you should be doing.
BARTIROMO: Thats a great point.
TEPPER: Gross incompetence. Having priorities backwards. All that stuff contributed to whats happening, not saying it caused it, but it certainly contributed.
BARTIROMO: But Id like to know what kind of investigation is underway in terms of outside agitators. I mean, all of these people who have come into America and wanting to disrupt our lives. I would like to see an investigation to ensure that we know that there were no outside agitators starting these fires.

This guy was only arrested for a probation violation. No probable cause for arson

...starting a fire under those conditions would be simple. I'd say the chance of an arsonist being a MAGA is about the same as it might be for a "terrorist" or migrant. Or anyone. Some people are firebugs and just love to see fire, and play with it.
