so i was forced to be evacuated as a result of the la fires i'm not sure the status of my home right now but i'm reporting from you from a safe location my family is safe my dogs are safe That's really all that matters, and what matters to me is that as many people are safe as possible, that everybody is safe. My heart goes out to everybody impacted by the devastation that's occurred.
Moments ago as well, we learned that a fire had broken out by Brett's home. brett's home had not been the subject of any prior fires but a fire broke out right near where his direct exit is and so he had to flee um and he had to escape and so our hearts are with brett right now during this chaotic moment as well and
We'll do our best to keep you updated on Brett's status, but he had to go immediately when he learned about the most recent fire. I want to talk about Donald Trump's despicable, dastardly, and divisive conduct as it relates to these fires.
constant lies about the fires, constant lies about Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass and how it's the responsibility or the fault of DEI or ESG or wokeness and how that has been amplified on right-wing media, on ex-formerly Twitter. And I want to just talk about how Never before really in American history would natural disasters like this be used as wedge issues to divide we, the people.
And we see that over and over again with MAGA, not just as it relates to these fires and the devastation, but if there's a hurricane, if there's a terrorist attack, They'll blame Democrats. They'll blame migrants right away. I just want to talk about that because I'm not okay with that. And I can imagine the fear that my brother's going through, the fear of other people as they were escaped.
I know the fear that me and my family went through as we got an alert on our phones, escape now, your lives are on the line, whatever the thing said, get out of your house right now. And we got out just in time. And then to immediately, like immediately see Donald Trump and MAGA say, this is all Newsom's fault. This is all Democrats' fault. Democrats this, Democrats that.
And then they do these lies about, oh, it's because Karen Bass cut this from the budget. I mean, that's false. She didn't. That's not what happened. Actually, $50 million was added for firefighting. But we'll talk about all of that and more here. I'll talk about some other topics.
Elon Musk, for example, said that Doge, that made up agency or cabinet position that doesn't really exist, that claims it was going to cut $2 trillion from the budget. Well, Elon Musk says it probably won't even be able to do half of that amount. So yet another lie. And when we talk about these lies, And also, I've been talking about with you this concept of WMD, weapon of mass distraction.
I think it's important that we take Donald Trump's threats and behavior seriously when he threatens Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, Mexico, you name it. We need to take it very seriously because... He does have the power and means with the United States military to attack and threaten. But I also think it's important that we not lose focus ever.
