Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Monday. Oh, there's a lot to get to today. Thank you for being with us. All eyes remain on these LA wildfires, which are ongoing and the damage that they've done. And speaking of ongoing...
the ongoing lack of accountability from the top officials. It is truly a game of like, he's pointing to her and she's pointing to him and he's pointing to them. Nobody, not one person, not one person has stepped up to say, I take responsibility like Ron DeSantis would. I'm sorry, he's my model because that's another state that's dealt with overwhelming natural disasters time and time again.
That, by the way, when they strike may be a mystery, but that they're going to strike is not. And he would be the first to say the buck stops with me. I'm the chief executive of the state. To the extent there was an inadequate preparation or response, it's on me. That's what Ron DeSantis would say. You know it and I know it.
And what you have in California is these mealy mouthed, kale eating, broccoli pushing, Birkstock, whatever, wearing pants. Politicians who can't find another person fast enough to blame. My absolute favorite, though, is the fire chief. She's growing on me. When she's not focusing on her lesbianism, she's actually quite fierce. She is not going down without bringing Mayor Karen Bass with her.
And who could blame her? All right, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We begin with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who spent the weekend trying to avoid responsibility as the fires were still burning by dropping by the Pod Save America podcast for an attempt to clean up his own image.
I want to know the answers. So I'm the governor of California. I want to know the answer. I've got that question. I can't tell you about how many people. What happened? My own team saying what happened? And I want to get the answer. You're the governor. I'll be candid with you. I'm getting straight answers.
Yeah.
I watched the press conference. I met with some of those leaders. We had my team start talking to local leaders saying what's going on. You weren't getting straight answers. I was getting different answers. When you start getting different answers, then I'm not getting the actual story.
So you decided the thing to do would be to go on pod, save America to talk about it because it's in the end, it's all about you. This is another David Muir folks. He is just as vain and worried about his image in the middle of this emergency as David Muir with his little fake fireman's jacket and clothes pins in the back. It's the same person, the same person, though.
