During a press conference in the Oval Office on Wednesday, President Trump was asked whether he'd be open to Congress investigating Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) handling of the Palisades Fire earlier this year.
00:00Thank you. Mr. President, in regards to Gavin Newsom, would you be open to a congressional investigation in regards to the specific policy fire where killed 12 seniors to see if there's any negligence on Gavin Newsom or Karen Bass in regards to those deaths?
00:16Well, I'll tell you, there's negligence on not getting people permits. That is negligent. We got all of the federal permits. Lee Zeldin, the federal permits are much more difficult. They were all gotten within 30 days. People could go build the houses. It's going to be years before they are allowed to build the house. And Karen Bass is grossly incompetent. And Newsom, he's this is a very incompetent guy. I watched him with the hands. I'm saying, what's going on with the hands? There's something wrong with there's something wrong with him.
00:43Do you watch him? There's something wrong with this guy. But more importantly, he didn't allow the water to come from the Pacific Northwest. You know, they have tremendous amounts of water in California. People don't know. They send the water out to the Pacific Ocean. So I demand that it be open. If that were open during the fire, before the fire, you wouldn't have had the fire because all the sprinklers would have worked in the houses. They had no water. They had no water in the fire hydrants. You wouldn't have had the fires.
01:11It would have been put out after one house, two houses. But he stopped the water from coming in. And I had to send in the military to have that water opened after the fires.
01:21And now they have water. But he should have more because they've restricted. They still restrict it. There's something wrong with these people. There's something really wrong.
01:29As to investigation, I view it as a gross incompetence. I view it as an ideology that's wrong. It's a radical left ideology. And if I didn't win this election, I think our country would be destroyed.
01:43Destroyed. I don't believe you'd be here right now and our country would be destroyed.
