Just for show, for the sake of being able to post to social media accounts, a release of so much water in the middle of winter. Trying to make a point. This was not for the fires in Los Angeles. By the time the water was released, the fires were already contained. Second, where they released the water, there was no way, literally, for that water to make its way to Southern California.

So insult after insult after insult, it's gonna hurt growers, it's gonna hurt the agricultural industry, it's gonna cost jobs, and it's gonna raise food prices.

So my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, you know, there's inconvenience and there's pain. If you're remodeling a house, hey, you know, good for you, but that can be an inconvenience.

Yeah, so first of all, thank you for bringing this up because all the chaos in the flood of executive orders that continuously comes out of the White House, you know, this one is important to pay attention to. First of all, it's not his first attempt to try to get the personal information of every voter in America. He tried it in his first term.
