congressman brad sherman is joining us right now. so, congressman, that was a moment of you saying to the president of the united states, listen, let's put aside any political differences. we are all american when we're dealing with natural disasters like this. uh, you know, hardships that we should come together. how do you believe that was received? >> i he did not. >> talk in that room much about conditioning aid to california, the way he had another forum. and i hope i'm pushing him in the right direction. he earlier said that california will get no aid unless we change our voter registration policies, which obviously have nothing to do with fires and our water policy, which actually has nothing to do with this fire. because this fire, we have lots of water here in l.a. county. our reservoirs are kind of full. uh, the the problem we had in the palisades was pumping water up the hill, and we didn't have a delivery system would do that. we had a delivery system that was fine day to day, but it wasn't designed for the biggest fire i

brad sherman represents the 32nd district in california. he's a democrat, and he just president trump, to his credit, said anyone who wants to talk or give a statement can can please speak up. congressman brad sherman spoke up and was essentially making the case that he doesn't like what louisiana's abortion policy is. he doesn't agree with it. he thinks it's too restrictive. but he would never say to someone in louisiana who experienced a disaster that they could not get federal aid because of that. i think the phrase he was was, i'm not going to tell someone they have to sleep on their cousin's couch because i don't like their view on a woman's right to choose. and he was essentially making that argument to trump that just because you don't like a state's policies, that the people who live in that state should not be punished, and certainly not when it comes to something like this. it was a very fascinating back and forth between the two of them to watch that play out, as that was the argument trump made going there. and i will say nick w

i want to thank representatives brad sherman and judy chew this weekend for leading a tour of the devastating fires in southern california. both the palisades fire as well as the eaton fire. i had the opportunity to go on both of those. the devastation is significant. this is why we need to get disaster relief to the disaster victims in california. and not condition aid. we have never done that before in the united states of america. we should not leveraging the pain and suffering of disaster victims to try to jam through political priorities. i just want to note that last month congress passed american relief act. it was to help disaster victims in florida, oklahoma, south carolina. the democrats say, hey, we want to condition aid because they are red states, no, we did not. because at the end of the day we are all americans. we are all god's children. and it is simply immoral, not christian, and un-american to force disaster victims to not get aid because of particular policy priorities that republicans may have. i also want to correct the record on some things the speaker has said. they ar

the northern part of my district was evacuated but the two districts are brad sherman and judy chu. why did these fires explode and why are they so hard to contain. second, what the response has been and third, some items to think about. in terms of what caused these fires to spread so quickly, we had a number of factors, drought-like conditions, very low humidity and santa ana winds, high winds hit us. we had santa ana winds but not to this scale at 100 miles an hour. think about a hurricane with fire in it. and these winds can blow these embers for miles and miles and miles and set structures on fire. there are a lot of wildfires. the palisades fire and eaton in judy chu's districts. washington, d.c., is about 43 akers. over 1500 fire engines and 80 aircraft and fema is providing assistance to those who need disaster aid. climate change is causing more extreme weather events. california had the atmospheric rivers and now these wildfires. and second, i just want to say it is outrageous for speaker johnson to try conditions on to this disaster relief or to tie disaster aid like the

what you think brad sherman and judy chu for helping in southern california, both policies fire as well as the easton fire. i opportunity to out to both of those and the devastation is significant. this is why we need to get disaster relief to the disaster victims in california and not condition a bit we've never done that before. we should not be leveraging the pain and suffering of disaster victims to try to jam through political priorities and i want to note last month congress passed american relief act. it was to help disaster victims in florida and oklahoma and south carolina that democrats say hey, we want to condition a because a red states? no, we did not. because at the end of the day where all americans. we are all god's children and it is simply a moral, not christian and un-american to force disaster victims not get a because of particular policy priorities that republicans may have. i also want to correct the record on some things the speaker has said. they are simply incorrect. he said on national tv the with the lack of water in southern california to fight the fires in
