Political Satire and Disaster Responses

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was confronted by a mother in Los Angeles County who said her daughter's school burned down as several fires have devastated the region this week.  In a video aired by SkyNews, the woman approached Gov. Newsom in the middle of a street surrounded by burned-down buildings.

"I live here, governor. That was my daughter's school. Governor, please tell me what you're going to do," she pleaded with Newsom. 

The governor responded, "I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter." The woman then asked if she could hear the call with the president "because I don't believe it." Newsom then showed her his phone screen and said he couldn't get through to the president. 

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk discuss whether his administration’s utter failure over the LA fires will completely douse Newsom’s presidential prospects.

Plus segments on sentencing in Donald Trump’s New York hush money case and Joe Biden and LA Mayor Karen Bass fumbling and bumbling reaction to the raging fires.
