Actor Dean Cain: L.A. Mayor Karen Bass ‘Should Resign Immediately’

KILMEADE: “Sixty five percent, the fire budget is 65 percent of the homeless budget which is $1.3 billion, and they cut by 17 million the fire budget again even though they were recommended not to. Karen Bass wanted a bigger cut and the city legislature said no, it can’t be that big. She wanted a $23 million cut and here is this poor excuse for a mayor who chose Ghana despite the threat of these fires, a trip there, once she lands instead of embracing it trying to tackle it listen to a Sky News Reporter try to get answers from the mayor of Los Angeles.”

Reporter: “Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor? Have you nothing to say today?”

KILMEADE: “Dean.”
CAIN: “Absolutely stunning. That is an elected official, the mayor of Los Angeles cannot answer a direct question in the middle of an absolute emergency. It’s insane to me. That’s the kind of failure of leadership that I’m talking about. It’s crazy. And you know anybody who could leave L.A. like myself kind of has. I see so many people like, ‘I had to get out of there, I had to get out of there.’ And this is — this is why. This kind of failure of leadership leads to death and destruction and it’s — and then things just falling apart. That’s what took place here. You know I got to say the firefighters, the first responders, unbelievable heroic, incredible, and the people are such great people and they’re used to fighting these things. But you can’t do it when all your tools are taken from you. And that’s what’s happened here. It’s just absolute mismanagement. I am so embarrassed to see Karen Bass do that to a Reporter. Just absolutely go quiet like she’s in second grade. She should resign immediately.”
KILMEADE: “She’s not equipped for the job, she never was equipped for the job. And the guy, self-made billionaire Caruso who actually worked to save his property and help others has been nailing it left and right. I wish he had won that as a — he’s a Democrat. I wish he had won that election. Dean, I know —“
CAIN: “Me too.”
KILMEADE: “We’re going to talk a lot because you’ve had this direct experience, and thanks so much for getting up early for us. Appreciate it.”
