TRUMP:—Los Angeles, you’ll be able to’t get correct quantities of water and it’s unbelievably costly, and also you might need a home in Beverly Hills, and so they’re truly enthusiastic about rationing water. Are you able to imagine it?
ROGAN: I might imagine it. I used to stay there.
TRUMP: I used to be, I used to be within the farm nation with a few of the congressmen. We’re driving up a freeway and I say, “How come all this land is so barren?” It’s farmland and it appeared horrible. It was simply brown and unhealthy. I mentioned, “However there’s at all times that little nook that’s so inexperienced and delightful.” They mentioned, “We have now no water.” I mentioned, “Do you have got a drought?” “No, we don’t have a drought.” I mentioned, “Why don’t you haven’t any water?” As a result of the water isn’t allowed to circulation down. It’s bought a pure circulation from Canada all the way in which up north of water, extra water than they might ever use. And as a way to shield a tiny little fish, the water up north will get routed into the Pacific Ocean. Hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of gallons of water will get poured…
TRUMP: You may have the entire water you want, all of that land would have extra water. The entire thing may very well be like that little patch. Actually, actually I’d say—I used to be with Devin Nunes, a congressman and different congressmen, we have been going up. I used to be visiting them as a result of they requested me to go up and go to their territory and I did. However I saved saying, “Take a look at this land. It’s stunning, however it’s so dry.” And I believed they have been going by means of like a desert like a drought. They mentioned, “No, we have now water, however it will get—” So I appeared into it.
ROGAN: What’s the fish?
TRUMP: And I bought it finished. I bought it finished. I might have water for all of that land, water in your forests. you realize, Your forests are dry as a bone, okay?
ROGAN: Yeah. Harmful.
TRUMP: That water may very well be routed. you realize, You may have all the things. Not solely harmful, billions of {dollars} a yr they spend on forest fires. And you realize, there’s a case with the surroundings. They’re not allowed to rake their forests since you’re not allowed to the touch it. When a tree falls down, after 18 months it turns into very dry. It’s like you realize, actual firewood. It’s unhealthy.

Trump was proper, however the normal suspects couldn’t enable Trump to be proper.
Throughout Donald Trump’s first time period, he tried to extend water diversions on federal land to assist California’s water provide.
The State of California and varied environmental teams sued him and gained.
As soon as once more, proudly owning the orange man took precedence over defending individuals.
