During a contentious press conference, President Trump and Mayor Bass discussed the bureaucracy hindering Los Angeles County wildfire victims' ability to rebuild. Trump argued for bypassing standard permits to expedite recovery, emphasizing residents' willingness to clear debris themselves. While Bass agreed to speed up the process, she stressed safety concerns and the need for proper oversight. The interaction included raised voices and interruptions as both leaders defended their emergency powers and sought to ensure that residents could return to their homes quickly and safely.
People are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out. There's not that much left. It's all incinerated.
I think you have emergency powers just like I do, and I'm exercising my emergency powers. You have to exercise them also.
I did exercise them, I signed an emergency declaration.
We want you to be safe. We want you to be back in your homes immediately.
