During his appearance on Hannity, the conversation naturally turned to the wildfires. Hannity asked Gibson about his experience and the policies that worsened the crisis.
“How bad has it been?” Hannity questioned. “You’ve been living through these wildfires. You read about hydrants that don’t have water. You read about cutting firefighters’ budgets, you read about reservoirs that are empty. I mean, it’s gotta be frustrating.”
Gibson didn’t hold back, pointing fingers at the policy decisions made by California Democrats, including significant budget cuts to the Fire Department and lack of adequate water infrastructure.
“Well, it is,” Gibson admitted. “There are those that say, ‘They must’ve done it on purpose.’ I won’t go that far, but if they didn’t do it on purpose, I think they certainly facilitated it. And my heart goes out to all the other residents. You meet people all the time who’ve lost their homes. And you talk and commiserate and buck each other up, and everyone’s putting on a brave face. They’re a good bunch out here.”
Gibson’s frustration wasn’t just directed at local leadership. He also commended Trump for stepping in to address the situation.
Gibson compared Trump’s presence in California to a parent stepping in to take control of unruly children.
“I’m glad Trump’s here at the moment,” Gibson said. “It’s like daddy arrived and he’s taking his belt off, you know? So, I think he’ll get some results here quickly.”
Trump’s visit to the fire-stricken areas included a roundtable discussion with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, first responders, and local residents. At the meeting, Trump didn’t shy away from pointing out inefficiencies in California’s response and urged faster action to help residents rebuild their lives.
The roundtable wasn’t just a symbolic gesture. Trump used the opportunity to push for swift emergency measures. When Mayor Bass mentioned that it would take seven days for residents to begin cleaning up their properties, Trump urged her to act more decisively.

“I think you have to . . . Because I looked. I mean, you have a very powerful emergency power. And you can do everything within 24 hours,” Trump advised.
Bass attempted to defend the timeline, but Trump didn’t budge.
“They’re safe. They’re safe. You know what they’re not safe? They’re not safe now,” Trump explained. “They’re going to be much safer. A week, a week is actually a long time. The way I look at it.”
Trump’s determination to expedite the recovery efforts extended beyond the roundtable. Reports confirmed that the former president planned to issue federal regulatory relief as early as the following Monday to help Angelenos clean up and rebuild.
For Gibson, Trump’s approach was a breath of fresh air. As someone directly affected by the wildfires, the actor’s frustration with local leadership was palpable. But his praise for Trump’s decisive actions highlighted a sentiment shared by many residents who felt abandoned by their state government.
“After touring war-zone-like wildfire devastation Friday, President Trump plans to act as soon as Monday to bring federal regulatory relief to help Angelenos clean up and rebuild,” reported Axios.
Gibson’s heartfelt interview with Hannity revealed the stark contrast between leadership at the local and federal levels. For Californians like Gibson, Trump’s visit wasn’t just about optics—it was about action. And in times of crisis, action speaks louder than words.
