it's unbelievable to me this started several months ago when newsom came up with this idea to have a special session to sue the trump administrationion. california legislators are already going back to sacramento for regular session, regular business. this whole special session talk is smoke in mirrors. look, governor newsom is playing politics with fire victims in los angeles county. this is unacceptable and unbelievable, actually. even for him to go to this level of playing politics. i think i'm most disappointed in my democrat colleagues that have expressed privately and some of them publicly that they are frustrated with this governor and some of the antics that he has played before. now they are just going along with him. and some of these legislators, this is their area. their districts. they are actually skipping sessions in sacramento to be in l.a. to help take care of this problem and now they are going along with the governor and playing this politics. >> ainsley: senator, what's your reaction? i know you said your son-in-law you told me during the commercial break your son-in-law is a police officer. god bless him for s

they were joined by fema administrator dan criswell, california governor gavin newsom, and los angeles mayor karen bass to address recovery and relief aid and misinformation. the president called on congress to provide additional funding for wildfire disaster relief. pres. biden: ready, set, go? >> ready. pres. biden: all right. vice president harris and i are about to receive a briefing with governor newsom and mayor bass and fema director criswell. so both of them are on the ground leading the fight against this god awful wildfire, the worst in california history, and there's been some progress in the last 24 hours. so i want to give an update of where we think things are at the moment. first come overnight local, state, and federal firefighters were able to partially prevent some of the largest fires from spreading to new areas. 3% in pasadena has been kept from spreading. 8% of pacific palisades, 35% in ventura, and 37% in so on. but this time yesterday these fires are mostly spreading out of control. we still got a long way to go, a lot to hear from the governor and others. and wh

our entire administration has been working closely with the governor, newsom, senator padilla, senator schiff, the entire congressional delegation to make sure california is every possible resource to fight these fires and help the survivors. the hearts of the nation are with the victims and families left behind, and all the people who have lost their homes, libraries and so much, so much to these fires. president elect trump has said he plans to visit southern california to tour the disaster zone. he has not set a date for when that could happen. jay leno was among those pitching in on the fire lines. the legendary comedian volunteered to serve food to firefighters and support staff. after another long day and night on the job. l.a. fire department says the department is grateful for his kindness and support during this challenging time. beyonce has a big announcement, but we're going to have to wait to learn what it is on christmas. you might recall, the singer teased that she was going to share some special news today, but on instagram, beyonce poposted she delaying that announcemen

newsom was not prepared. watch. >> this is a true tragedy at the mistake of the governor you can say the administration. any water. they did not have water in the fire hydrants. government newsom invited trump out to california to see the devastation for himself. saying they should put politics aside during the tragedy people lost everything from all their belongings writing a letter saying this americans deserve to see all of us working in their best interest to ensure a fast recovery and a rebuild house republicans from blue states like new york, new jersey and california are expected to meet with trump this weekend he wants his entire agenda to be on one big bill. another person hoping to me is the wife of ryan corbett american who has been held hoste by the taliban for more than two and half years and living out in afghanistan i'm told by family contact. he had business in the northern area taken into custody held hostage has had not return his wife came to florida to try and see trump. hoping he can help hunt for her husband. >> he arrived here were planning to wait for this meeting. it's raining, w

newsom's handling of the emergency and even called on him to resign. now, u.s. house speaker mike johnson has indicated that the incoming administration would put conditions on any aid coming to california now, while california's special session was refocused to address the l.a. wildfires, newsom originally called that trump to that session to so-called trump proof california policies. newsom is proposing about $2.5 billion in emergency response funding, 1 billion of which would come from the state's emergency reserves account and the rest from the climate measure that voters just passed back in november. the federal government would be expected to reimburse some of that. that is the custom. but with the change in administration, that could be in jeopardy. i mean, he's done it to utah. he's done it. michigan native, puerto rico, he did it to california back before i was even governor in 2018, until he found out folks in orange county voted for him. and then he decided to give the money. so he's been at this for years and years and years. so the housing crisis is already intensifying down in la, with fewer rental properties available,
