I'm John Batchel. I welcome Devin Nunes, former member of Congress, now the CEO of True Social,

and a very happy member of the people who live in the San Joaquin Valley, the breadbasket to the world,

the Central Valley. Why that's important is because Devin has instructed me for years

about the challenge of water in California,

modern California.

Once upon a time before the great wash of Americans moved to California after the Second War,

California has a natural water, fire, mudslides, snow, a natural cycle.

It's part of its paradise values. It's got a Mediterranean climate

and part of it. Another part of it is heavily forested. But, Devin, a very good evening to you.

We're looking at the disasters of California. And the reason that's important to me now is because I'm hearing things

on the radio or reading things in the European press that are not well informed. So I want you to

help my listeners understand why this is something that was always implicit in the natural cycle of California.

Water.

Water is important everywhere,

except when it's interrupted by people who have what they think is a superior idea

about smelt fish or about salmon or about the environment.

Good evening to you, Devin.

Great to be with you, John, and this was predictable. It's been happening in the San Joaquin Valley and all over California,

really, for the better part of the last 15 years. And it's really there's three main factors

that they're causing these fires in california that the

left that runs california has refused to admit and that is one the water infrastructure that

moves water around the state has largely been curtailed idled not used so it's created a man-made shortage of water all over the state.
