"They got notifications yesterday that their homes probably burned to the ground...but, the good news is, I'm a great-grandfather as of today."
And, with that, the press briefing with President Biden on the Los Angeles wildfires was concluded.
Donald Trump was mocked for sounding the alarm on the California water/fire crisis during his interview with Joe Rogan.
Turns out, he was right.
Trump spent nearly 7 minutes ranting about the issue, blasting Newsom for doing nothing to fix the problem.
Trump specifically discussed the Californian Delta Smelt controversy, where rainwater is wasted by being directed into the Pacific Ocean to protect a tiny fish species.
"You know in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water."
"In order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured [into the Pacific]."
"I got it all done. Nobody could believe it. It was all done. I said, I got it. You got so much water. All you have to do is sign, and [Newsom] didn't wanna sign."
"Every time I go to California, I say you have so much water. They don't know it... I'm telling you, people living in Beverly Hills, they turn off the water. Same thing with the electric."
GOP MT Sen Sheehy who has a wildfire fighting company on CA wilfires: Those of us in the wildfire community have been shouting from the rooftops for years that this was going to happen. We were going to have the big one in a wildland urban interface environment, which is what this is..And it was going to be catastrophic. This is the big one..As a federal apparatus, we are not prepared to fight fire year round. It's January. Most of the air tankers, helicopters and firefighters are off contract. They're not prepared to launch out. And now we're putting a lot of brave first responders, not in an extremely dangerous scenario, because we have failed them. That's a bureaucracy to make sure that they're paid sufficiently.
🚨After losing his home to the LA fires, @RealJamesWoods says about LAFD’s DEI-focused Chief:
“Our new Fire Chief, she put on her bio that her priority, my highest priority is inclusion, diversity and equity."
"And somebody forgot to fill all the reservoirs."
“There was a fire truck parked in front of my house. But they couldn't pump any water because there was none, because they didn't put them in the reservoirs."
