President Trump: We're gonna have to override the Coastal Commission. Because I've dealt with the Coastal Commission for a long time, and they are considered the most difficult in the entire country, and we can not have them play their games and wait ten years to give somebody a permit. In fact, I'm going to override the Coastal Commission. I'm not going to let them get away with their antics.
President Trump in favor of a suggestion made at round table, that he appoint a Special Master to make sure the money goes to rebuilding, and not other California projects.
President Trump vs Bass. He wants the claen up to start right now. She wants another week, so the people can, 'be safe'.
President Trump: They use the environment [activist groups] to make themselves feel good, and they're destroying our country. And at some point you gotta put your foot down. You have local and state groups, and you have federal groups too, and you gotta fight them the right way.
Brad Sherman: If I can just defend FEMA…
President Trump making Sherman look unbelievably foolish.
President Trump: You did something Brad; every insurance company in the country left California, that's why you have no insurance, because you made it so impossible, people that think like you made it so impossible. I've never seen a state where almost nobody has insurance.
President Trump: It's all a con job [environmental regulations that always stand in the way]. It's all a big con job.
President Trump: Winning is what matters, right?
