Comedian Tim Dillon Blasts Los Angeles Over Handling of Fires: ‘There Was No Water in the F—ing Hydrants’ (VIDEO)

Tim Dillon slammed the city of Los Angeles over the mishandling of the California fires during his podcast this week, noting the fact that the city was completely unprepared, even lacking water in the fire hydrants.

Dillon is often hyper-sarcastic in his takes on issues, but on this one he seemed in earnest.

He pointed out that huge parts of LA are completely gone and that the fires are still going in some places.

Podcaster Tim Dillon goes off on government handling of LA fires: ‘Completely, woefully unprepared’

Los Angeles-based comedian and podcaster, Tim Dillon, tore into the government’s handling of the wildfires on an episode of “The Tim Dillon Show” on Monday.

“Entire swathes of the city are gone. There was no water in the f—ing hydrants. Nobody cleared any of this brush, they didn’t do any controlled burns, they didn’t prepare any of these areas,” says Dillon, adding that these measures were ignored because “we didn’t want to upset a fish.”

President-elect Donald Trump set off a firestorm last week when he called out Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom for choosing “to protect an essentially worthless fish,” over the water needs of Californians. This wasn’t Trump’s first time calling out Newsom over this issue, slamming Newsom in the lead-up to the 2024 election during an interview with Joe Rogan in October.

The point that Dillon made here may be a little tongue-in-cheek but it makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
