Kimmel on Trump Visiting L.A.: ‘A Natural Disaster Will Be Visited by an Even Bigger National Disaster’

KIMMEL: “I looked up what was going on. The last time it rained here, it was the same day we learned that RFK Jr., during his divorce negotiation, told his ex-wife’s lawyers that a worm ate part of his brain.
(Laughter)
He said his doctor found a dead parasite in his head. And now he’s going to be in charge of Health and Human Services for the whole country. Tomorrow, President Trump is visiting L.A. He’s coming to L.A. —
(Audience boos)
Well, he’s here to blame us for the fires in person.
(Laughter)
It’s the first time in history that a natural disaster will be visited by an even bigger natural disaster.
(Cheering and Applause)
He’s coming to, I guess, survey the damage and meet with the governor. Mostly to get away from Elon for a couple of days.
(Laughter)
You know, we knew Donald Trump was going to be terrible. When I say ‘we,’ I mean us here in the room.
(Laughter)
But we didn’t know he would be so terrible that he would actually threaten to not help us in an emergency situation if he doesn’t get what he wants.”

[Clip starts]
Trump: “I don’t think we should give California anything until they let water flow down into their — “
Hannity: “From the north to the south.”
Trump: “It’s a political thing, I don’t know what it is. They talk about the delta smelt. It’s a little tiny fish like this. They say it’s an endangered species. Well, how is it endangered? No wonder it’s endangered, it’s not getting any water. If you have a fish and you’re stopping the water, isn’t that going to hurt the fish?”
[Clip ends]

(Laughter)
KIMMEL: “Great point, Jacqes-off Cousteau.
(Laughter and Applause)
This has nothing to do with the fish. He is so ridiculous. And we have to sit around with the place on fire, hoping he gives us our own money back. Trump and his minions are planning to leverage any federal aid that they might give to force to us help him round up and deport our neighbors. As if we’re Eric, and he’s cutting off our allowance to teach us some kind of a lesson. Which, on one hand, you might think, ‘Oh, wow, only a truly despicable human being would use disaster relief money as a bargaining chip,’ but on the other hand — there is no other hand. It’s just that hand.
(Laughter and Applause)
It’s just that grubby, grabby little hand of his.”
