Joe Biden

00:00:00-00:00:26 (26 sec)
Well, the governor asked for a declaration that provides for everything the federal government can do, and I'm prepared to sign it today. The -- folks, the fact is that I've directed DOD -- the Department of Defense -- to rapidly provide additional firefighting personnel and capabilities. I've also -- the California National Guard is adding two Modular Air Fire Fighting Systems units, and two more are being readied by the National Guard -- the Na- -- the Nevada National Guard.

And four more are coming from Northern -- from the Northern Command. And 10 Navy helicopters with water delivery buckets are coming down from San Diego. We're prepared to do anything and everything as long as it takes to contain these fires and to help reconstruct and make sure we get back to normal. It's going to be a hell of a long way.

The -- it's going to take time. But we're in it. The federal government is here to stay as long as you need us and everything you need. Is there anything you've asked that you haven't gotten yet?

Gavin Newsom

00:01:04-00:01:48 (44 sec)
Quite the contrary. Mr. President, just, first of all, that major disaster declaration being approved -- next level appreciation on behalf of all the residents here in Southern California. As the chief said, we had pre-positioned assets this weekend in anticipation of these weather events: the complexity of multiple fires; the likelihood these weather events -- this wind event would continue over the course of the next many days; impacts of over a thousand structures already that have been destroyed; a hundred-plus thousand people that have been evacuated; lives lost; traditions, lifestyles, places torn asunder.

Gavin Newsom

00:01:48-00:02:07 (20 sec)
This means the world to us. And -- and just publicly, because I think this is important: The president happened to be in the region, in town. It's impossible for me to express the level of appreciation and cooperation we received from the White House and this administration. So, on behalf of all of us, Mr. President, thank you for being here -- and not just being here today.

Thank you for being here since the minute of this incident when it was a 10-acre fire less than 24-or-so hours ago. My deep gratitude.

It's astounding what's happened. There's only one piece of good news. My son lives out here and his wife. Their -- they got a notification yesterday that their home is probably burned to the ground. Today, it appears that maybe it's still standing. We're not sure. But the good news is I'm a great-grandfather as of today.
