They want $40 billion from Donald Trump and the federal government.
He had just had a $50 million fund to sue Donald Trump on this issue and on sanctuary cities. And they have no idea that our whole federal water system that transfers, half of it is run by the federal government and Donald Trump, doesn't have to build new things.

And they're trying to sue him on two issues that have no public support, illegal immigration and open borders, and then the trans issue. And yet they dig down. And Gavin Newsom started the year off with $76 billion in deficits. He ran the state in the ground.

The price to finish it is $300 billion. 15 years we haven't laid a foot of track, and he's broke, and he wants Donald Trump to keep giving him $4 to $5 billion. It's not going to happen. And they don't understand that on all these issues, Megan, the ones that you've talked about in Maine and here in California, they're on the wrong side of public opinion.

And the public does not support federal funds for trans stuff, federal funds to go to illegal immigrants. They don't want to, the state governors are, I don't know what they're doing, but his popularity has gone like this, Newsom. He's down below, way below 50%.
