i call him gavin newsom because he really is bad. guys like gavin newsom is is he's a disaster. gavin newsom, he's a terrible governor. >> and maybe when you're faced with having to respond, those things go to go by the wayside. but do you see these two leaders working together on this? >> i think gavin. >> newsom showing up. >> was actually really smart, because he wanted. >> to show. >> that he is the governor of this state, and he is. welcoming the president to his territory. >> so i think. >> it was a good moment. for both of them. i think it also shows that president trump can put that aside for a moment and. >> sort of. >> speak up for the federal government. but, you know, to what david sherborne was saying, if he was really there to bring. >> the aid. >> of the federal government, he wouldn't be talking about actually disbanding. >> and. >> getting rid of fema, the federal agency that deals. >> with disasters. >> so. >> you know. >> there is there are two lulu, i, i disagree with you there, lulu. >> there are two different things in. conflict here, which is one thing we'

we know that gavin newsom is what he is. he gave a billion-dollar contract to the chinese to do masks. we know that in 1990, p wilson wanted to have reservoirs in california but the left stopped it and a lot of that is the hollywood left that is bought and paid for, they go up to their and they talk with the hollywood elites and they get attention to issues. especially in california. larry elder was slandered by the people. he should have won that election for the governor . it's terrible what's happened. >> sean: if he ran today i would argue he would win. if kamala runs after i would argue the odds are very high that she's going to win. look at donald trump coming into office, i don't think republicans are going to appropriate funds to rebuild which i support for my fellow americans in california. there's got to be conditions along with rebuilding money if people don't have it in the conditions have got to be that you have to prevent this from happening again. take the money from the l.a. ports going green, take the money

mayor karen bass, california governor gavin newsom they are on defense amid california's devastating wildfires. governor newsom launched a fact check website to try to save face. but as always with newsom, it's kind of a catch. the website includes links to a democratic party fundraising platform, and when he's not soliciting donations for the democratic party, well, he has spent the last week deflecting blame to local officials and, of course, donald trump. anyway, here with reaction, fox news contributor katie pavlich, nominee for u.s. ambassador to israel. i think he'll be a great one. mike huckabee is with us. katie, start with you. i mean, how do you make if you have empty reservoirs and you're going to say, well, that's up to the local people. if you have fire hydrants in a state known for wildfires and known for santa ana winds, how do you blame the local officials? how do you justify billions for turbines, hundreds of millions for the la porte going green and not have a fire hydrant that works everywhere? can you explain that? >> well, i can explain that this is just the way t

he is speaking out of two sides of his mouth and this is classic gavin newsom.is sights set on being president he has completely lost sight of california. i was not surprised at all to see him on pause it destroyed america that is what i like to call it. busy talking to them and campaigning for the future while people's houses were burning. >> trace: but we had "the view" defendant gavin newsom amber, watch this. >> i take great offense had pointing fingers. you should be pointing fingers about how can we help? it is too soon to be saying it is gavin's fault it is nobody's fault. >> this is not the time to blame it on officials when we are living in a time of a lot of change in climate change and things that are happening. i find it a little disturbing. >> trace: it is not disturbing because it is the time to make your voice heard. when things are wrong and the responses wrong and lives are at stake and tomes are burning that was the time to speak up. >> exactly. help was great but you know what is even better? prevention. the people of california deserve answer

and look, governor gavin newsom there to greet him. greetings between two men who have battled quite a bit publicly. not able to pick up their conversation. it is very loud. of course, not a lip reader, but we can certainly saw that greetings were exchanged and it was cordial but short. and president trump is now going to be taken to view pacific palisades, the areas that have burned in the southern california wildfires. and now he's stopping. and perhaps we can hear some of the reporter questions. we have that in very good shape. we have the congressman in charge and michael whatley. and we're going to do a lot of work. we have the army corps of engineers working as they are here. and i think you're going to see some very big progress. they left them high and dry. and now we're going to be taking a little tour with some of the people from the area. i appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me. kevin, we very much. and we'll be talking a little bit. we want to get it fixed. we want to get the problem fixed. and there'll be some

but i don't think gavin newsom cares. you know how i feel about him.t mine. >> and the priorities are reflected in the use of actblue to garner d donations. to your point, no disaster goes uncaptured or unwielded for political gain than the democrats. more "outnumbered" in just a i moment. arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. veterans, need cash? get up to $70,000 or more with a newday 100 va cash out loan from newday. thank you admiral. this money saving benefit for veterans lets you pay off high rate credit card debt and costly car loans. thank you admiral. make home improvements and repairs you've been putting off. thank you admiral

gavin newsom was asked about that.en to how he responded. >> on this block when you have a system that's not dissimilar. piker whether there be electricity or the complete overwhelm of the system and the hydrants and the scale but then that's local. >> you're passing it off on the locals. >> sandra: absolutely it is a state issue. water has been a top issue since california's been around. there are different issues. president trump was highlighting how the central valley has had its agriculture completely destroyed over this desire to protect the delta smelt which has made it very difficult farmers and orchards growers and this issue in southern california is really how they should have been building reservoirs to collect rain water. the last couple of years, we saw record rain in the region and there was no way to collect this water. >> we saw it all running down the roads and the hills and out into the pacific ocean. i remember the coverage of the atmospheric rivers and all that rain. they filled the reservoirs but l

and gavin newsom is a smart guy. he knows to improve his own position and to improve the lives of the people who have been affected by this fire, he can't just be dug in against donald trump. he is going to have to work with him all along. although last night i was in touch with the governor's office. and they said they were happy that the president accepted their invitation to california before he was sworn in. but, they were not tracking any kind of an official meeting. obviously, if gavin newsom was able to get that close, the secret service, phoned somebody on the plane. the president was probably watching us and he could see that he was just standing there at the bottom of the stairs by himself. i don't think it was an ambush by any means but it's a savvy move by a governor who has been in office for 12 years. he knows how these things go. he was always going to have to work it out with president trump. i would be fascinated to know what is going on with their private conversation right now if it's in the helico

by the way not only gavin newsom pour gavin newsom, your longtime dream of being a candle president that 2028. you had years to take trump's advice in terms of reaping and clearing the forest as it should be cleared. you need a road map? look at what for and then test on you can't stop wildfires completely of course but you can mend a great them and stop them from spreading to dense populations like pacific palisades. it looks like a nuke went off there. newsom could have taken millions of gallons of fresh snow melt undrained but newsom made sure that it off-loaded pointlessly into the pacific ocean all in the name of environmentalism. i was the environment to look it around los angeles now, governor? that call today was so insulting from newsom to biden thanking the president to fight what he deems to be misinformation. like what? not having water and fire hydrants a? all of the millions cut from the l.a. fire department? that is not misinformation that is accurate. here is the good news for those who like truth and objectivity. the current incarnations of twitter and now x and even fac

governor gavin newsom passing the blame. florida governor ron desantis. >> he is blasting the media mob for not holding democrats accountable. imagine for a second what their response would be if this happened in my free state of florida. we'll have a lot more coming up. also, we will ask our democratic friend from the five, harold ford jr, to defend the party's terrible policies, failed leadership, high taxes and lack of services. but we begin with good news tonight, against all odds, after years of sketchy warrants, subpoenas, early morning raids, dozens of cooked up charges, one after another, far left judges and trump hating juries. donald trump has eviscerated the left's lawfare campaign. today, new york judge democratic donor juan merchan announced that trump would receive no jail time, no fine, no probation after a manhattan jury convicted trump on what is a novel, bizarre legal theory surrounding a case that had no victims. i mean, it was a legal nda put together by a lawyer, and it was chronicled as a legal expense.

typical gavin newsom for you. >> no.e to point out here too, i interviewed josh flag, he's on million dollar listing in la, this is last friday. he said here's the other problem the folks will have which is unfortunate. say you've got $5 million lot that was worth 5 million two weeks ago. now when you have 30 lots that are all worth 5 million, those values are going to go down, the sales prices are going to go down. so they're going to also lose in that regard as well. >> you have to allow that to occur. we see this happen after hurricanes in my home state of florida all the time. i understand trying to protect your residents from predators. >>> you can do that through education, letting them 2340e what their properties are worth. there are people who want the cash, they want to move out of california, many of them, especially after something like this and these types of executive orders stop people from being able to cash out on their property and we have to -- you can't over regulate. you have to inform your residents,

wildfires and now she says gavin newsom lied falsely claiming he could not talk to her because he was on the phone with biden. hollywood star robert davi is here to react to who newsom was really talking to, plus president trump and his upcoming visit to l.a. and north carolina. and this story. >> remember the 37 murders that he commuted their sentences? remember two of them, one he pardoned and one killed two fbi agents. liz: that was senator mark mullins, saying the media is ignoring biden pardoning murders and the overall number is shocking of who he pardoned plus speaker johnson says lawmakers will look into biden pardoning his family saying that was disgusting but first this. president trump right at the top of our hour, just shut down all federal government dei offices, programs, websites, social media accounts, government training and more. president trump joins a long list of u.s. companies doing that. more studies from places like rutgers shows dei escalates to vision, hostility and promotes false perceptions of prejudice in the workplace. hillary vaughn is standing by on cap

even gavin newsom himself has a lot of questions he is doing an investigation. at the same time, we know that diversity often trumped merit in hiring and promotions and it still does in california. we also know that millions could have been directed toward better emergency services that were, instead, spent on illegals that california happily welcomes in. >> and, of course, we know that that helped fuel homelessness which is skyrocketing still in california and at points also posed own fire risk people lighting fires outside for cooking and so forth. of course, we know that will strain the school system which now ranks a pathetic 34th in the nation, despite the highest taxes in the nation for the people who live there we know there is exodus of businesses already from california and that the wealthy are leaving and the middle class think are picking up and leaving the state it's simply expensive. california is so incredibly beautiful and so much promise. so much still brain power. such rich history courtesy of lurid liberal policies california has in metaphoric

i think gavin newsom was saying don't play politics, mr.ether and i think president trump just wants to see california actually reform itself so it doesn't happen again. >> look, i think one of the most interesting things to come out of the -- obviously we have been dealing with deluge of information from him ever since he, you know, accepted and was sworn in as president. but, one of the things that i thought was really interesting was him bringing up, especially that victory rally, the issue of rebuilding los angeles. saying that we're not going to just let this fester. we are not going to abandon a great american city to the ms. management of democratic politicians. instead he said we are going to rebuild it. we are going to build it in a way that is going to make it something that is great for the olympics. that is great for the world cup, et cetera. >> i think that's another sign of the approach that he has when disasters strike which is to say we're going go back in there and we're going to roll up our sleeves and get the job done. an

maria: this is exactly what president trump said yesterday, he is blasting gavin newsom for handling pocalyptic wild fires wrote on truth social newsom refused to sign the water restoration decoration before him would have allowed millions of gallons of water from excess rain snowmelt from north to flow advantageously into many marts of california to protect essential work with fish called a smelt fish giving it less water it did not work but did not care about people of california. newsom's press confidence denying existence of water restoration document claiming that it is pure if i can shurn. >> they cut budget this year inual of 2024 gavin newsom had a news conference bragging about that they were ready july past year, that they were ready and number two they cut the budget cut the budget to fire department you can't tell me -- elon musk is attempting to go to mars we can't get pressure and water to a hydrant. we have plentiful water on the pacific, there is end heless amounts of water right there available. and they cut the budgets on fire department, this is not a new problem, b

gavin newsom is a disaster as is karen bass. if trumps it is hot they say cold if he says yes, they say no it's ridiculous. they don't want to do it's in the best interest of the people. >> sean: what's your reaction she comes back from ghana and has asked questions and she wouldn't give any answer at all whatsoever. >> she was attending the inauguration of the new head of ghana. i wonder whether a she will attend the inauguration of trump and this is on the feet of democrats there hasn't been a republican elected in california in 20 years they have super majorities in the senate and super majorities in the assembly to pass whatever job killing stupid job training deal they want without any republican input whatsoever. it's a result of the republicans and people need to wake up the people they editorialize in favor of every left-wing policy you want we got millions of people who have left california average it's two times that of the national average and we have a huge unfunded pension all because of the way these democrats have

fox news organization tweeted yesterday that gavin newsom cut the fire budget by $100 million months before the fires happen. governor newson retweeted that and called it a ridiculous lie and said he would serve these folks the facts. let me quote to you from newsweek, the 2024, 2025 california state budget which governor gavin newsom signed into law in june and 2024/funding for wildfire enforced resilience by $101 million a series of cutbacks according to his owner administration. i would love if this man prioritize competence and actually had the foresight to put in place good policies that may have mitigated the issues. now that the nightmare has been playing out and he and other officials in the state of california are getting flock from various critics he's pushing back calling the code expires when the critics in this case are bringing in transpacific correct facts is a waste of his time. anita: then you have the trump layer already then focusing on what they need to do they're trying to attack him it's amazing. then yes some people were talking to him and others say no were no

and i think we saw this kind of row between donald trump and gavin newsom or gavin new—scum, as donald likes to call him, because we know he gives nicknames to everybody. and that was a lot harsher, i feel earlier in the week. you know, when we didn't know and how the scale of this fire, so many fires and how difficult it would be to get a handle on them. i feel like that rhetoric has kind of been toned down a little bit as the week has gone on. yes, there's been disinformation and as we have seen with previous natural disasters, and actuallyjust in the last hour or so, i got this letter from not sent to me, of course, but gavin newsom has sent it to president elect donald trump, very, you know, very nicely worded and kind of reminding him of how they toured california with those terrible wildfires in 2018 and inviting him to come back. and, you know, he signed it with respect and an open hand. "let's work on this together." let's do this together, because, i mean, it serves no one's interests to have them at each other�*s necks. well, certainly the people of california, i mean, gavin

all of this to say — this could be another clash then between gavin newsom and donald trump, but alsoms as blue states and his administration. the smelt is the name of the fish, the smelt. thank you! keep that in the back of your mind. it'll wind a pub quiz someday. the delta smelt. the delta smelt? yeah, yeah. ifeel like that's kind of going to be on t shirt slogans or something, but not to make light of a very, very serious situation. and i think we saw this kind of row between donald trump and gavin newsom or gavin new—scum, as donald trump likes to call him, because we know he gives nicknames to everybody. that was a lot harsher, i feel, earlier in the week when we didn't know and how the scale of this fire, so many fires and how difficult it would be to get a handle on them. i feel like that rhetoric has kind of been toned down a little bit as the week has gone on. yes, there's been disinformation and as we have seen with previous natural disasters, and actuallyjust in the last hour or so, i got this letter from not sent to me, of course, but gavin newsom has sent it to president

gavin newsom has known this for quite some time.e been fighting for this in the legislature and it's something we need to get on top of. >> trace: meantime karen bass on her aerial tour of the fires. >> we did an aerial tour and i was able to see. it's one thing to see it on television, it's another thing to see it from air. the massive, massive distraction is unimaginable until you actually see it. >> trace: even harder to see when you are at a cocktail party in ghana when the burning is going on. if you are in ghana at a cocktail party in the forest burns, it's one of those things where she really can't answer to a lot of these questions. >> so many monumental failures that we already see. there needs to be a full review of this, an after action review of what happened here and how we need to change it. i think what we are seeing is a failure of leadership, state and local. we need to come together right now. this is a time for us to unite as a country. republican and democrat. we can start with gavin newsom who says he watches th

newsom, says looting will not be tolerated. these communities have suffered enough. well, unless they loot less than $950, then gavin doesn't mind. one of the winklevoss twins called out newsom, saying this quote, you and your party have been tolerating looting for years. you normalize this behavior and lawlessness. you are a disgrace. resign now. it's a free for all in la. every man for themselves. literally. yesterday, local residents had to take down a vagrant with a blowtorch. they witnessed him setting fire to old christmas trees and garbage cans. neighbors called 911, and before the police arrived, they detained him with zip ties and a rope. a good old fashioned citizen's arrest. here's lapd. >> what we know right now is that the incident occurred, started here. and about 20 minutes, 30 minutes later, a suspect was detained over in woodland hills area by citizens. >> so someone purposely set the kenneth fire. >> at this time, that's what we believe. yes. >> do you know how or why they did that? i don't know, is this a crime scene right now? >> yes. >> so everything is closed off. >> it's being. yes, it's being

and the -- leadership of california, particularly gavin newsom, is absolutely adamant this is resultimate change if that is true, it is not going to change anytime soon, where is the mitigation where are the prevention measures? they actually passed a law, proposition 1, 10 years ago called for building rez vorz not a single reservoir has been built curriculums gavin newsom proudly announcing dams are being torn down all stupid policy i don't know why american today, should be on the hook for wrong headed policies in blue states in general in particular in california, this is really wrong. gavin newsom tried to duck responsibility here which is abhorrent the truth is it is he and his fellow legislators in california, responsible for this disaster. >> i think president trump has huge opportunity to go in and -- and be helpful, and also, change policy. in california. i mean gavin newsom, since president trump was reelected, has been saying, we want a trump proof maybe fireproof california instead of trump proofing california. we are getting started this hour a big hour coming up stay w

well, you know, the interesting thing is his relationship with gavin newsom compared to a lot of other democrats for a long time, wasn't actually all that bad. >> if you go back to the pandemic, if you go back two years before that, he actually attacked newsom a lot less than he did relative to other democratic governors. part of the reason was, was because, uh, kimberly guilfoyle was engaged to donald trump's son, don jr.. and kimberly guilfoyle used to be married to gavin newsom. and so she helped to sort of officiate or manage that relationship a little bit. but kimberly guilfoyle is now out of the picture, no longer with don jr.. and so there is been a real breakdown in terms of the relationship. and trump is going into office finding someone to blame for these fires. and that's what he does. he finds someone to blame. so the problem isn't his. the problem is someone else's. >> and speaking of someone to blame, i mean, look at the social media posts from trump just in the past week, he's been all over social media attacking gavin newsom, sometimes calling him newscum. that's what h

ing >> good morning, president-elect trump is critical of gavin newsom's water management decision in years preceding the horrific fires. trumps newsom should have and refused to sign a water restoration declaration that could have put calif fires. >> i've been trying to get gavin newsom to allows water to come. they are trying to protect a tiny little fish, for sake of a smelt, they have no water. this is true tragedy and mistake of the governor and you could see the administration. >> trump is referring to a 2020 memorandum he signed to bring more water to california. the state said it was not scie scientifically justified due to endangered species. gavin newsom says there is no such document, that issure foo p fiction. trump wrote, one of the most beautiful parts of america is burning to the ground, ashes and gavin newsom should resign, this is all his faults. here is newsom last night. >> one can't even respond to it. people are literally fleeing, people have lost their lives, kids lost schools, families torn asunder and churches burning down, this guy wants to politicize it. >> w

gavin newsom just points to local officials.n he puts out a letter just moments ago, and the letter says, i'm demanding answers on the water. you're the leader of california. you are the chief executive. and then he goes on with biden and talks about misinformation. this blew my mind because i remembered the washington post story that came out a week ago. do you want to know biden's biggest regret? not afghanistan, not inflation, not all of his failures. it's not combating misinformation. it's the same line they used after hurricane helene when he sat there with kamala harris after their failed response. and he said misinformation, disinformation that that's the playbook, say misinformation when the hard truth is this, you may have a playbook. the hard truth progressive leadership fails during times of crisis. east palestine, hurricane helene, this wildfire. >> and now there's scooter looters. sandra. and to think that they could do anything about that when they have this on their hands, it's ludicrous. >> this this is crazy. th

given your criticism of gavin newsom. are you willing to work with him?eve aid should be provided to california as long as it takes. >> it's very sad i have been trying to let gavin newsom water to come. you would have tremendous water they send it out to the pacific because they are trying to protect a tiny little fish which is in other areas by the way called a smelt. and for the sake of a smelt, they have no water. they have no water in the fire hydrants today in los angeles. it was a terrible thing. and we're going to get that done. it's going to finally be done. i got it done from the federal side. and he didn't want to sign it. but, it's not going to happen again like that. there is no reason, can you imagine you have farmers that don't have any water in california. they have plenty of water. they don't have a drought. they send it out to the pacific. and it's crazy. so, what's happening in california is true tragedy. i know those areas very well. i have many friends living in those houses. that is a true tragedy. nobody ever thought -- i mean virtu

gavin newsom and karen bass in the same category, they are in the wrong job.hey are not comfortable in front of people or issues and they don't solve problems. they want to be queen of england. >> ainsley: she issued emergency declaration two days before she left on the way out and still decided this is an emergency situation, if you are mayor, you stay with your community and people and solve problems when the emergency happens. instead she goes to africa -- 17 hours. >> lawrence: ainsley, i have some hope because of mandate in last election and amount of independent voters that want common sense. this is a common sense moment for people in california. greg made the point yesterday, people will take a lot of stuff, maybe crime in california, maybe take other issues, they are not going to forget their house being burned down. >> brian: and no insurance. >> steve: the thing, we'll talk about insurance next segment. you are assuming those people who lost everything because of ink incompetence will stay in california. if i was them, i would move to texas, florida

desperate gavin newsom is busy picking a fight with elon musk.billionaire of spreading lie says about the state's response and saying musk is encouraging looting. california voters are tired of the leadership. a growing attempt to knock him out of office. los angeles mayor karen bass is facing a recall. she got asked by a reporter if she regrets her trip to africa? >> looking back, would you have taken that trip to africa? >> i am going to focus today, no. >> judge jeanine: all right. what do you think of that, dana? >> dana: a couple things. why doesn't she just say no? when she was running for office, she said i will never go on a foreign trip and she has been on four los angeles taxpayer dollar foreign trips since she's been in office, which hasn't been that long. so, that was dumb. and all mayors should say i'm not going on the foreign trips. let's just erase that. on the middle of fires, the california legislature announced they struck a $50 million deal on the plan to trump-proof california. so that they could make sure illegal immigrants c

regardless if gavin newsom was paying too much attention to donald trump and not enough attention toself the truth is they may policy decisions that ultimately led to the speed of far more likely event to occur. going back several years, you don't just have to rely on us were critics of gavin newsom to bring this up, national public radio did an extensive report that looked at the fact that gavin newsom had cut funding for a number of different wildlife and wildfire management steps the audit been taken to the tune of more than $100 million and he was exaggerating the number of acres that it been addressed, that is something to come to upon a governor to take control of, instead what we see from them at this moment is political spin not real answers. it's opposite of what leadership looks like in this moment and i hope there are lessons for california voters about the kind of changes in leadership that they automate. >> gavin newsom was a lieutenant governor during the paradise fire which killed 100 people donald trump and kevin mccarthy toured the area and gave him suggestions. he r

but gavin newsom's response they are met, trey, when a politicial says we will not listen to the people disinterested iny dividing people, that is not a sign they are winning. that is not a sign they haven their argument on their side. instead what is he doing? going to the pod burrows from obama era to spin's response and basically putting up on locl officials for giving bad information and the like. we all knew this was something that was possible after the 202 fires that affected a smaller area but covering some of the same geography. beknew they are needed to under brush clearing. needed to be wildfire abatement and all sorts ofof r responses. yet, what have we learned about the process? we learned an entiree pr reservr wa wass off-line during this pe, which we know historically is the period when yo is u need war and you need that kind of acceso to the kind of things that could have prevented the distraction in so manydest ways that has affected so many lives. e looked, my heartve goes out to everyone in california and not politicizing the event that changes need to occur.if t with

gross incompetence by gavin newscum and karen because. trump fails newsomed to sign a claim that would have brought more area to the l.a. area. california said it wasn't scientifically justified and sued to protect endangered species. newsom's office wrote on, and, quote: there's no such document with. as the water restoration declaration. that is pure fiction. newsom also said this about trump last night. >> people have lost their lives. kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down, and this guy wanted to politicize it. i had a lot of thoughts and i know what i want to say. i won't. >> reporter: but trump says newsom if should resign for not doing more to protect californians. >> they had plenty of water. they send it out to the pacific, and it's the crazy. so what's happening in if california is a true tragedy there. >> reporter: so shortly here trump will attend former president jimmy carter's funeral, and later today he'll head back to mar-a-lago where he will host a dinner with republican governors tonight, and he is
