Comedian and podcast host Tim Dillon launched a scathing critique of the California government's response to the recent devastating wildfires in Southern California. On his podcast, "The Tim Dillon Show," Dillon highlighted the lack of preparedness, citing the absence of water in fire hydrants, uncleared brush, and the lack of controlled burns. He suggested that these crucial preventative measures were neglected due to environmental concerns, echoing sentiments previously expressed by former President Donald Trump.

Dillon's criticism comes after former President Trump's repeated accusations against California Governor Gavin Newsom, alleging that the state prioritizes protecting certain fish species over the water needs of its residents. Trump, in a past interview with Joe Rogan, recounted a conversation with congressmen where he questioned the barren state of farmland, attributing it to water being diverted into the Pacific Ocean for environmental reasons.

Newsom's office refuted Trump's claims, asserting that there is no water shortage in Southern California and attributing the water pressure issues during the fires to the high demand and the fires themselves, hindering access to pump stations. They emphasized the use of water tenders as a standard firefighting practice.

Dillon expressed his disillusionment with California's leadership, stating a perceived lack of competent authority and a sense that those in power are actively working against the public's best interests. He questioned the continued support for Governor Newsom in light of the wildfire crisis.

Dillon's commentary continued with an emphasis on the need for practical solutions and experienced leadership, advocating for a shift away from what he perceives as ideologically driven policies. He stressed the importance of preparedness and proactive measures to prevent future disasters.
