But during the trip up the highway, I noticed massive amounts of farmland. It was all over the place, miles and miles. It was absolutely dry and dead.
You could see, you know, I'm a real estate guy, I could see the soil was so beautiful, but it was just dry and absolutely dead.
Except, does everyone know what I'm talking about? Except for little tiny patches
where it was so beautiful,
so green. It was greener than any farm I've seen. It was just beautiful.
And I asked, what's going on here? Why is it that that land is so fertile,
But right next to it for miles and miles, it's just empty, looks like a desert. And they said, because we're in a man-made drought. That's what they called it. We have a man-made drought. I said, what's a man-made drought? He said, we have tremendous amounts of money
and other things coming at us to fight this, but it doesn't do any good because Newsom and any
Democrat governor, they won't allow us to have water. You know, you have massive amounts of water coming down from up north.
So I said, all right, I can understand about the water, but I don't understand why would they do that? Why are these patches so magnificently
green? And it's a very small percentage of the land.
They go, well, they allow us to water only these small areas, But most of the farmland, they don't let us even touch. They won't let us touch it.
If I could do it, it would be billions of billions,
if they changed this, and we worked on it, and I'll explain that, it would be billions and billions of extra dollars coming into the state and coming into our country.
And we have the water.
And I said, what about a desalination
plant? Well, people don't like them because, you know. I said, what about a nice, big, beautiful desalination plant? But they said, we don't really need it, sir. We have so much water, we wouldn't know what to do with it. I said, explain please.
And I'm looking at this dry stuff. I said, explain.
So much water, but up north they have a valve. Do you ever see the valve? A massive valve, like your kitchen valve, but multiply it times 10,000.
It's the size of this room
and
all the water gets turned out and turned into the Pacific
Ocean. Do you know that? You have so much water.
So sad to see this. I mean, these people are so stupid.
But they...
