The MAGA response to the California fires reinforces a really hard truth - no one is coming to save us. They want to argue about bathrooms and genders and pore over how many rounds can fit in a standard issue magazine. But they are not here to solve real problems. It turns out, that’s going to be on us. Tonight, Maya welcomes Alfredo Morales, an unlikely hero who fought fires in California for two years while incarcerated. His work - and the work of some 3,000 other inmates involved in California fire suppression each year - saves countless lives and huge swaths of land and property. In a world where the powerful spend their time placing blame and sucking up as much wealth as possible, it’s people like us - and Alfredo - who are going to have to step into the breach and solve problems. The world’s on fire, and we’re going to put it out together.
Watch Punching Up with Maya May and hear Alfredo Morales’s incredible story. Tonight at 7p ET.
