CALIFORNIA: “A big thing the other day, they’re going to ration their water in California, can you imagine? And I felt so bad that I called up, I said, oh, do you have a drought? No, do you know what they do? Millions of gallons an hour come down from the North, pour down, pour down, so — they have so much, right? They have so much water, but they routed it into the Pacific Ocean because they have a smelt, right?
Is it a smelt? How’s that for a memory, good? There’s no problem there. Here’s a smelt, it’s a little tiny fish, and it’s been having difficulty over the last — long time. With water, without water, it’s having difficulty, but they want to save the smelt. And in saving the smelt, they’re destroying human lives, right, and they’re destroying the farmers.”
