00:00As the massive L.A. fires rage on, so does the battle between Elon Musk and Gavin Newsom.
00:07Governor Gavin Newsom is calling out Elon Musk.
00:10So, Elon has been saying that the governments are responsible for these water shortages that you're hearing about.
00:15And Newsom posted a video of Elon talking to a firefighter.
00:20Correct me if I'm wrong, in the Palisades there was a shortage of water at a certain point.
00:24We were flowing an amount of water that the system couldn't overbear.
00:30Just because of how much water these firefighters were utilizing.
00:34And Newsom is saying it's clear the firefighter is telling him that water shortages and all these stories about the government's shortcomings were misinformation.
00:41So, is it irrelevant that that dam was out of service?
00:45Dams need to be out of service sometimes, and January is our wet season.
00:49Typically, this is the season when dams are set for repair.
00:52It's been in repair since last February.
00:55February? Damn!
00:58They cut $17 million. The mayor's trying to take away another $48 million.
01:03There were 100 fire trucks out of service just because they didn't have the money to hire mechanics to fix them.
01:08And then what about deforestation?
01:10Where are we going to cut? So, should we have cut the school budget to pay for it?
01:13Maybe it's not school, maybe it's other stuff.
01:15What?
01:16I don't know, there's a bird sanctuary.
01:17Those damn birds eating up all of California's budget!
01:21We know in five years or ten years there's going to be another huge fire.
01:23Everybody here, are you guys all willing to pay $5,000 more in taxes to do what's necessary to prevent that from happening?
01:29Well, I don't have that money.
01:30You would if you went to two less Taylor Swift concerts.
01:33There's this rush that everything has to be politicized. Someone f***ed up.
01:37No, sometimes it was a horrific natural disaster.
01:40And with that, our city council meeting comes to a close.
01:43Alright, thanks guys.
