Carl Higbie on California suspending regulations after wildfires: "This is what happens when liberalism meets reality."

Watch: President Donald Trump reacts to Joe Biden's "trying to make good of everything" in positive remarks the president made about his era of foreign policy: "it's been a terrible four years."

While California officials play the blame game as The Golden State burns, President Donald Trump joins Rob Schmitt to reiterate his past warnings on wildfire preparedness.

ISRAEL, HAMAS NEAR HOSTAGE DEAL?

"We are very close to getting it done," President Donald Trump tells "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

"There's been a handshake."

"The 'Red Flags' are not only still present, but seem to be multiplying exponentially. Even low-level super conservative estimates of "Bad Actors", such as cartel criminals, gang members, saboteurs, terrorists, killers and foreign enemy agents, infiltrating through the southern border is frightening, at the very least."

JUST IN: Imam Husham Al-Husainy of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn is set to offer a benediction during Donald Trump’s inauguration next Monday, according to a draft program shared by Matthew Foldi, editor-in-chief of the Washington Reporter, on social media platform X.

Al-Husainy’s inclusion follows his participation in a Republican media call in late October, where he joined other Arab-American leaders from metro Detroit in discussing their support for Trump during the November 5 election.

President Donald Trump on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war: "There's only one strategy, and it's up to Putin."

The war "wouldn't have happened" if Trump was in office. This was gross incompetence. That's the only reason this war is taking place."

ICYMI: Newly elected LA County DA Nathan Hochman announced felony charges against 9 people accused of burglarizing/looting during the wildfires, including Martrell Peoples (a two striker) and Damari Bell (one striker) accused of stealing $200,000+ from a Mandeville Canyon home during the Palisades Fire.

With this potential third strike, Peoples faces life in prison, while Bell faces 22 years with his potential second strike.

Hochman prosecutes strikes, which Californians overwhelmingly voted for, unlike his predecessor, soft on crime LA DA George Gascon.

The days of coddling criminals in Los Angeles are over.

Today, we met with faith leaders in Altadena who have lost their places of worship, homes, and even members of their congregations.

Governor Newsom

Biden’s latest hit is an announcement made Friday that will permit nearly one million legal migrants and illegal aliens from countries like Sudan, Ukraine, El Salvador, and Venezuela–home to one of the most violent criminal gangs in the U.S, Tren de Aragua–to stay in the United States at least into 2026.

Newsom is promising a state "investigation" into the failures in LA. This is obviously a farce. What will be serious is our federal investigation into his own failure to protect Californians even as he pursued stunts like "Trump-proofing" the state.
