Newsom Lied About the Smelt Fish

Let's get to the Delta smelt. And also, Rick Lowkey shares with me, apparently in California, uh, sea environmentalists won't allow sea lions to be removed even though the beach gives them a fatal disease. The, the, the people in California are just loony, and this has to be busted up because so goes California, so goes the nation. If you want to care about the people in North Carolina, you have to make sure if you want to see the government, all right, people within government, I should say, all right, but, uh, people within government care about the people of North Carolina, whether it's a Democrat or Republican. You want to make sure that left-wing crazy policies like California go bye-bye and that you impose some common sense, or implement, I'm sorry, some common sense there where you actually care about people, policies that are concerned about the livelihoods, the safety of people. Because if Democrats understand the, the, or, or concerned about people, then all of a sudden that filters out throughout the entire country. California has a major influence. New York and all these— I think there's 12 other states that were following California's emission standards. California was literally destroying the car industry in the United States of America, allowing China to grow their car industry by, by mandating these EVs. Just hooking up our adversary. And 12 moronic states followed suit. You cannot leave leftism alone in California. Let's get to the Delta smelt. For those of you that have heard about this, so runoff from the mountains in Northern California, the Wall Street Journal columnist writes, feeds into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, uh, which is connected to the San Francisco Bay. Pumps at the south at the south push water to farms in California Central Valley and Southern California cities. But because the smelt sometimes get trapped in the pumps, federal and state officials have restricted how hard those pumps can run. Billions of gallons of water flow into the Pacific as a result instead of Californians catching them in the reservoirs, which was the problem with these LA wildfires. Yet the smelt population— listen to this— has declined owing to non-native predator fish and other, other delta denizens that outcompeted for food. So the smelt actually appeared to have gone extinct in 2020, but scientists at UC Davis raised a refugee population in a lab. In 2021, they released more than 12,000, uh, smelt— delta smelt— perpetuating the excuse to limit water flows to farmers. So they used this fish that was a common fish in order to stop water flow in California, to give the environmentalists an excuse to stop the water flowing from the north to Southern California, just as Trump said. And Gavin Newsom said he was lying about it.
