00:00What's the disinformation you were referring to in the letter and what is the correct information?
00:04Well, I mean it like what the president-elect was saying about state water
00:09project and the Delta smelt somehow being culpable somehow
00:14Leading to some of the challenges that we face down here. It's words. It's a salad. It's a form and substance of fog
00:21It's made up
00:22It's delusional and it's a consistent mantra from Trump going back years and years and years
00:29And it's reinforced over and over and over within the right wing
00:33And so it's become gospel and it's so profoundly ignorant and yet he absolutely believes it
