>>> HISTORIC FIRES IN
CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON CONTINUE TO RAVAGE
THE PACIFIC COAST.
THEYVE LEFT 35 PEOPLE DEAD AND
FORCED 10s OF THOUSANDS TO LEAVE
THEIR HOMES.
WHATS LEFT RESEMBLES HAUNTING
POST APOCALYPTIC LANDSCAPE
PORTLAND, OREGON CURRENTLY RANKS
AS FIRST IN THE WORLD AS THE
CITY WITH THE WORST AIR QUALITY
ON EARTH
AND THREE OTHER AMERICAN CITIES,
SEATTLE, SAN FRANCISCO, AND LOS
ANGELES ARE AMONG THE TEN CITIES
THAT ARE THE WORST FOR AIR
QUALITY.
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, FOREST
FIRES HAVE BEEN BURNING FASTER
AND SPREADING FURTHER THAN EVER.
THE 2018 CAMP FIRE WAS
CALIFORNIAS MOST DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE IN THE STATES HISTORY
UNTIL THIS YEAR.
>> FIVE BLOCKS FROM HERE,
THERES HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT
ARE STILL IN A FEMA CAMP,
TEMPORARY HOUSING, TRYING TO
FIND HOUSING FROM THE CAMP FIRE
TWO YEARS AGO.
>> IT JUST COMES BACK TO THE
PTSD, AND YOURE RELIVING
EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN.
>> JUST LIKE WITH THE
CORONAVIRUS, DONALD TRUMP HAS
BEEN MISSING IN ACTION
JOE BIDEN BLASTED TRUMPS
ENVIRONMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD.
>> HE WARNS THAT IMMIGRATION IS
THREATENING OUR SUBURBS.
THATS RIDICULOUS.
YOUKNOW WHATS THREATENING OUR
SUBURBS?
FIRES AND FLOODS, HURRICANES ARE
IMPERILING SUBURBAN LIFE ALONG
OUR COAST.
WE HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF
TRUMPS CLIMATE DENIAL, HOW MANY
SUBURBS WILL BE BURNED AND
WILDFIRES?
HOW MANY SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS
WILL HAVE BEEN FLOODED OUT
HOW MANY SUBURBS WILL HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY IN SUPER STORMS
BLOWN AWAY IN SUPER STORMS
Powerful relief so you can
IF YOU GIVE A CLIMATE ARSONIST
FOUR MORE YEARS IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, WHY WOULD ANYONE BE
SURPRISED IF WE HAVE MORE
AMERICA BLADE.
>> TRUMP WHO WAS IN SACRAMENTO
TODAY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
REALITY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
>> WEVE HAD TEMPERATURES
EXPLODE THIS SUMMER, YOU MAY
HAVE LEARNED THAT WE BROKE A
WORLD RECORD IN DEATH VALLEY
130 DEGREES.
IN GREATER L.A. 120 DEGREES.
WERE SEEING THIS TREND MAKING
OUR SUMMERS AND WINTERS WARMER
WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU TO
RECOGNIZE OUR CHANGING CLIMATE
AND WORK TOGETHER WITH THE
SCIENCE.
THAT SCIENCE IS GOING TO BE KEY.
IF WE IGNORE THAT SCIENCE AND
PUT OUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND
THINK ITS ALL ABOUT VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT, WERE NOT GOING TO
SUCCEED TOGETHER
>> IT WILL START GETTING COOLER,
YOU JUST WATCH
>> I WISH SCIENCE AGREED WITH
YOU.
>> I DONT THINK SCIENCE KNOWS
ACTUALLY
>> JOINING ME NOW, SAN FRANCISCO
MAYOR LONDON BREED AND LOS
ANGELES MAYOR GARCETTI
IM GOING TO START WITH YOU,
MAYOR BREED.
THE SMIRK WHEN DONALD TRUMP IS
BEING TOLD ABOUT THE HEAT
RAVAGING THESE COMMUNITIES AND
THE CHANGING CLIMATE
HE SAYS, OH, IT WILL GET COOLER.
AS SOMEONE WHOS COMMUNITY IS
BEING RAVAGED BY THESE WILDFIRES
RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE
TO THAT?
>> WELL, ITS VERY HARMFUL THAT
HES SO DISMISSIVE OF SCIENCE.
HE WAS DISMISSIVE WITH SCIENCE
WITH REGARDS TO COVID.
200,000 AMERICANS HAVE LOST
THEIR LIVES DUE TO VIRUS AND
HES STILL DENYING THE SCIENCE
OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN THE
MIDDLE OF A WORLD PANDEMIC, AND
NOW WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AT OUR
HEELS.
IN SAN FRANCISCO, I WAS BORN AND
RAISED IN THIS CITY, IVE NEVER
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT I SAW
THIS PAST WEDNESDAY WHEN I WOKE
UP TO AN ORANGE/RED SKY THAT
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS THE END OF
THE WORLD.
WE KNOW THESE WILDFIRES HAVE HAD
A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THIS
STATE IN PARTICULAR.
SIX OF THE DEADLIEST FIRES THAT
HAVE HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF
CALIFORNIA HAVE HAPPENED JUST
THIS YEAR, BUT OVER 3 MILLION
ACRES BURNING.
THE FACT THAT HES SO DISMISSIVE
IS SO HARD TO TAKE
ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLES LIVES
ARE ON THE LINE.
AND THE PROBLEMS WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE ARE RIGHT IN OUR FACE AS
WE SPEAK.
>> WERE LOOKING AT THE FLAMES
NOW, AND YOURE RIGHT, IT LOOKS
LIKE THE APOCALYPSE.
MILES TAYLOR HAS BEEN VERY
UPFRONT ABOUT THE HORRORS HE SAW
WHEN HE WAS WORKING THERE.
DONALD TRUMP WANTED TO WITHHOLD
MONEY FROM CALIFORNIA FOR
WILDFIRES.
HE HAS A VIDEO TRUMP SAID STOP
GIVING MONEY TO PEOPLE WHOSE
HOUSES WERE BURNED DOWN.
HE WAS SO RAGEFUL THAT PEOPLE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DIDNT
SUPPORT HIM, HE ONLY WANTS TO
GIVE MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO
SUPPORTED HIM.
HE DOESNT FEEL HES THE
PRESIDENT OF THOSE WHO DIDNT.
I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO GOVERNOR
GAVIN NEWSOM TODAY
IN THAT SAME ROUNDTABLE WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
HERE HE IS
>> ONE THING IS FUNDAMENTAL.
57% OF THE LAND IN THIS STATE IS
FEDERAL FOREST LAND.
3% IS CALIFORNIA
WE REALLY DO NEED THAT SUPPORT
WE NEED THAT EMPHASIS OF
ENGAGEMENT AND WERE FULLY
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH YOU TO
ADVANCE THAT CAUSE
>> THERES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
FRIENDLY AGAIN U FLEXION THATS
REQUIRED FOR DONALD TRUMP TO
THINK ABOUT GIVING MONEY
WERE AT THE POINT WHERE WERE
SORT OF BEING TREATED LIKE
UKRAINE.
THE VARIOUS STATES HES GOING TO
NEED FROM YOU FIRST BEFORE HE GIVES ANY AID.
GIVES ANY AID.
HES GOING TO NEED GENUFLEX
GENUFLELEXION.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU FEEL
YOURE GOING TO GET FROM THIS
PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR
>> HERE IN CALIFORNIA, ITS
ALMOST LIKE WERE ON OUR OWN
MAYOR GARCETTI AND I HAVE WORKED
CLOSELY TOGETHER
ITS BEEN THE MAYORS LEADING THE
RESPONSE AROUND COVID.
WERE TALKING ABOUT A WHOLE
OTHER LEVEL, A WHOLE OTHER
RESPONSIBILITY AND NEGLECT
THIS NOVEMBER WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THAT
WE CANT MAKE DONALD TRUMP BE
THE PRESIDENT OR THE PERSON WE
TRULY NEED TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY
RIGHT NOW.
AS HARD AS THIS IS TO TAKE, AS
FRUSTRATING AS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCING IS, WE NEED NEW
LEADERSHIP IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
PERIOD
AND THE FACT THAT WE CONTINUE TO
TALK ABOUT THE CRAZY THINGS HE
CONTINUES TO SAY AROUND
DISCOUNTING SCIENCE.
AROUND DISRESPECTING COMMUNITIES
AND PEOPLE THAT DONT SUPPORT
HIM OR AGREE WITH HIM, IT GETS
US NOWHERE
WE ARE FACING THESE DISASTERS,
WE STILL NEED A BETTER PRESIDENT
TO HELP US THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
AND WE ARE REALLY AT OUR WITS
END, IT DOESNT MEAN WERE NOT
GOING TO KEEP ROLLING UP OUR
SLEEVES, FIGHTING THESE BATTLES,
