Well, Drew, not to correct you, but look up the Jasper fires. I mean, Canada has been having its own forest fire crisis as well. They seem to have the planes at least. But the amazing thing is there are more similarities between Trudeau and... Gavin Newsom than you can necessarily even appreciate. We had our forest fire crisis. It was not last summer, but the summer before.

They blamed it on climate change. In reality, it was not quite as bad forest management as California, but we also have a wetter climate. It was arson in many cases. The Nova Scotia fire was arson. There's some strong suspicions that the Jasper fires were exacerbated by government incompetence. Justin Trudeau donated our PPE to China before COVID was coming in February 2020.

Gavin Newsom donating fire equipment to Ukraine in the year and a half leading up to this disaster. No, no, it's wild. And the more they fail and the more damage that results from their grotesque, I believe it's criminal negligence, the more they tout themselves, pat themselves on the back for how they respond to the crisis of their own making. They're scumbags of the highest order.

I just don't know who's worse between Newsom and Trudeau.

I mean, this is a question that Robert Barnes and I often get. I mean, I leave it to Barnes to field the answer, and I've heard his answer, and I understand. It requires legislative reform. I mean, the ultimate irony, these, I can say jackasses, right? The jackasses who are flipping out about presidential immunity don't understand you have judicial immunity.

No, no, they flip out about that like, oh, now Trump could do it. They don't understand there's judicial immunity. There's qualified immunity. Judges have immunity. Police officers. And by and large, it's either good for the goose or good for the gander or whichever. It's either good for all or good for none. I'd be more inclined to say good for none.

But once it's there, you're not going to treat the president, the head of the executive differently. But no, but it needs to be tamped back. At the very least, they need to be held responsible for egregious criminal negligence. There is no way to explain away why the fire hydrants didn't have water in California. None.

And you get these scumbags who come out and say, well, we had three one million gallon reservoirs and they ran dry because of the demand. Then you failed. And your 1 million gallon reservoirs, that's fine. That's what's supposed to be the intermediary between the 117 million gallon reservoir that was empty and the fires. You don't get to say, we did our best and, you know...

commend us on our response. There needs to be political and potential judicial consequences for this. Hopefully, there will be at the very least. That might be the smallest of the silver linings. But Drew, you tell me. I mean, you're from California. I've been told by people that Gavin Newsom, his popularity is not really taking a hit.

No, well, that would have been better. What they have to do is like, this is a catastrophic failure. I have failed. I should make room for someone who will, A, remedy my problem.
