He cites several attacks on substations, including one that occurred a couple of months ago. He warned, \u201cIt could happen. This is not \u2018Day After Tomorrow,\u2019 by the way, this is tomorrow, I think.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Quaid explained how the ramifications of a power grid failure would be significant: \u201cJust 30 days without electricity, it would take us back to 1880. You wouldn\u2019t be able to get gas. You wouldn\u2019t be able to get food.\u201d Quaid also pointed out that law enforcement would be severely impacted because police officers would need to stay at home to tend to their families.<\/p>\n<p>Watters emphasized that a lack of power would also negatively impact people\u2019s ability to access clean water. Quaid expressed his concern, stating, \u201cThis is something that if it does happen, it\u2019s going to make COVID look like a kids show.\u201d He criticized the lack of action being taken to prepare for such an event.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his politics, Quaid, an independent who has voted for both major parties, admitted that he had not faced any pressure to keep his views to himself. However, he argued that Republicans and Democrats need each other to maintain balance, although he is troubled by the deepening divisiveness in society. Quaid said, \u201cIt usually takes some kind of big thing like World War II really brought&#8230;you know we really got our act together when that came up.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Finally, when asked whether something like World War II could happen in the event of a power failure, Quaid replied, \u201cOh yeah. For sure. It\u2019ll be \u2014 we\u2019ll be back to tribal law by that time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Dennis Quaid warned on Friday that a big enough power grid failure would make the COVID pandemic \u201clook like a kids\u2019 show.\u201d Quaid explained just how problematic such a failure could be during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters \u2013 and he pointed out how it could quickly impact nearly every aspect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":1909022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[6107,4127,8894,5071,8766,4247,4266,5084,23420,5830],"class_list":["post-1909021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-actor","tag-covid","tag-dennis","tag-failure","tag-grid","tag-kids","tag-look","tag-power","tag-quaid","tag-show"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1909021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1909021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1909021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1909022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1909021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1909021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1909021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
