In a recent interview, Bill Maher confronted California Governor Gavin Newsom about the state's various regulations concerning rebuilding efforts, specifically regarding Maher's personal experience with roof inspections after wildfires. Maher voiced frustration over the necessity of multiple inspections, questioning the efficiency of government processes. Newsom acknowledged the need for streamlining but highlighted successes in rapid emergency responses. The discussion touched on broader issues of regulatory delays in projects like high-speed rail, with Maher encouraging Newsom to reconsider a presidential run in 2028.
"It's my roof! If it falls on my head, that's my problem. Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for?"
"When we have an emergency mindset, it goes extraordinarily well. We got Interstate-10 up and running within eight days after the fires."
"Needless regulation is an indictment of liberal governance and leadership; we own years-long delays on building high-speed rail and housing developments."
"You said you were working on it. How's that going though?"
