Mel Gibson Has A Lot of Questions About the CA Fires, Mocks Newsom with an Epic One-Liner [WATCH]

In a recent segment on Fox News, Laura Ingraham sat down with Mel Gibson to discuss the alarming circumstances surrounding the recent wildfires in California.

The conversation ranged from unverified arson theories to systemic issues like the failure of fire hydrants during critical moments. Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley also weighed in, addressing the water supply challenges faced by firefighters on the ground.

Amid growing complaints about nonfunctional or low-pressure fire hydrants, Kristin Crowley offered a straightforward response during the segment:

“My stance on this is, when a firefighter comes up to a hydrant, we expect there’s going to be water. We don’t control the water supply. Our firefighters are there to protect lives and property and to make sure that we’re properly trained and equipped. That’s my position on this. So if there’s no water, I don’t know how the water gets to the hydrants.”

Ingraham then turned to Gibson for his reaction to the Fire Chief’s remarks.

Gibson didn’t hold back as he voiced skepticism about California’s water management practices and speculated on potential motives behind the state’s challenges:

“Well, you know, I know they were messing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things. And then in the events like this, you sort of look, is it on purpose, which it’s an insane thing to think, but one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, do they want the state empty?”

Gibson’s remarks reflected frustration and a growing sentiment of mistrust about the state’s handling of resources and emergency preparedness.

The conversation also touched on the broader implications of rebuilding after the fires. Ingraham highlighted a push for high-density housing, a trend gaining traction among California lawmakers and climate advocates.

“Well, now there’s already talk, and we played a couple of sound bites of re-imagining the way rebuilding occurs. And obviously there’s a great need for high-density housing in California and across the country. That’s a big push by the climate folks, and you’re already hearing rumbling of that in this case, like, goodbye single-family homes, hello, high-density housing,” Ingraham said.

Gibson expressed unease with these plans, likening the push to tactics used in the past to displace people:

“Yeah, yeah. It’s pretty scary, and it’ll take decades to do that too. It’s like even, even if it, you know, if it’s a good idea, which I don’t know if it is, but reminds me the old cattle barons clearing people off the land, you know? But I don’t know. I have, you know, I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water and that the wind conditions were right, and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires. And are they commissioned to do so, or are they just acting on their own volition? I don’t know, but they seem pretty well equipped, some of these people that they’re catching.”

When asked by Ingraham if he had a message for Governor Gavin Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Gibson responded with humor:

“Spend less on hair gel.”

The segment concluded with Ingraham acknowledging the lingering uncertainties surrounding the fires, water supply issues, and rebuilding plans.

“A lot of questions,” she remarked, reflecting a sentiment shared by many Californians watching their state grapple with unprecedented challenges.
