. >> cnn's daniel dale is joining us for a fact check of some of this. , daniel, can you tell us about what trump said there? is it true? >> i showed a social media post from the president elect yesterday to an expert in california water policy, a man named jeffrey mount. he said, abby, none of it is true. so this has just been a staggering quantity of wrongness from the president elect in a very short period of time. and there have been some small specific examples, like he keeps saying that governor newsom refused to sign a so-called water restoration declaration. in fact, no such declaration even exists. as newsom's office has pointed out. he also said yesterday that they're not using firefighting planes. we've seen those planes. they're there. but more than that, abby, i think the president elect has promoted an overarching false narrative. you heard a bit of it there that this the challenges we're seeing in the firefighting effort have something to do with a long running policy battle about how much water should be kept in the north of the state to p

daniel dale, cnn, washington. >> all right.oining me right now to discuss the president elect's inclination to name, call and criticize california's leadership at a time of such devastation. cnn politics white house reporter stephen collinson. stephen, great to see you. so while trump has long feuded with california governor gavin newsom, why does the incoming president see this as advantageous right now? >> i think firstly, because it fits into this conceit that we heard a lot on the campaign trail from the president elect, that democratic cities are obsessed with progressive priorities, like the environment, as daniel was talking about. and don't do the basics for their people. so that's one thing you heard jd vance, the vice president elect on television this morning talking about incompetence in democratic governments, especially in l.a. and in sacramento, also in eight days time, donald trump will be the president and he's going to inherit this massive crisis, at least the federal end of it. as soon as he walks into the wh

we're going to daniel dale is getting ready to do a fact check on what he said about january 6th. and, um, who was killed and what the sort of what actually happened that day. but before we get to that, before this press conference and what we heard about panama and the panama canal and greenland and canada and a whole host of other things, by far the biggest news story was mark zuckerberg saying this morning that they are totally changing their rules. they're getting rid of third party fact checkers, um, effectively saying exactly what what x is doing, what elon musk is doing and what donald trump and maga world have been asking for for a very long time, are steve contorno asked whether or not he believes that these changes, capitulations are a direct response to trump's threat, and trump just said one word. probably. >> well, i mean, the value to listening to trump and to airing these press conferences is that he often says what he really thinks, and he just had dinner with mark zuckerberg. exactly. at mar-a-lago not that long ago, not far from where he was standing. and that is

and that is where we bring in cnn's daniel dale. niel, so you have donald trump talking about that, as we've discussed. but i want to play for you some another topic that the president elect took on was talking about january 6th. once again, let's play this. >> this would be the only insurrection in history where people went in as insurrectionists with not one gun. okay. and let me tell you, the people that you're talking about have a lot of guns in their home for hunting and for shooting and for entertainment. a lot, of lot of good reasons. but there wasn't one gun that they found daniel not true. >> kate. in addition to the knives, tasers, batons, axes, chemical sprays, baseball bats, rioters carried guns during that capitol riot. >> we've known this for years now we know it because it's been proven in court over and over again. i have an incomplete list here. ryder mark mazza brought two loaded handguns onto capitol grounds, pleaded guilty. got five years in prison. a guy reffitt was convicted for bringing a handgun to the capitol

but then daniel dale, the fact-checker on cnn, decides to do this. this not one gun thing, danna, has been debunked for three and a half years if not more. it's an out and out lie. we will never get a complete inventory of guns brought by the capitol that day most of them were permitted to leave before later being arrested. there have been numerous cases in which people carried guns on capitol grounds and were convicted for it. >> laura: isn't it the case that they understand what trump was saying there that this was not an effort to carry out an insurrection at the capitol. there were people who shouldn't have done what they did but, in general, this -- this was not the way it was portrayed by the media or by the democrats. and, again, they continue. they won't let it go like they have learned nothing. >> and the whole country knows that, laura. the whole country has looked at this. they know the fax. they know the democrats tried to turn this into their issue that they thought they could win on forever by frankly lying to the country what happened
