Taxpayers around the country should not be funding crazy leftist policy choices that exacerbated the effects of a national natural disaster. We understand there are people in terrible situations there. We got to take care of American people. But When they made decisions to not have the reservoirs filled, to not have hydrants that work, to go to DEI and the fire service and not have capable persons at the helm to decide that you're going to protect the smelt Fish instead of the taxpayer. I mean, it made it. It set the conditions to make it much worse. Somebody sent me a video. It was produced in 1962, one of those old school documentaries that chronicled exactly what we just saw happen in 25. (48:31–48:45)
