What was more disturbing is the reaction of the crowd in Nebraska who were listening to the president.
What did the president say? And I quote directly, remember, with a war, it's just artificial.
And he went on to say, it's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe.
And let me tell you something, what was really upsetting, and it was repounded in all of the news reports, is the crowd cheered.
And of course, Karen Bass, appearing on national television, said this is unacceptable, both for Los Angeles, where she is mayor, and for San Diego.
And Mr. Becerra, who will be the next governor of California, accused Trump of using 13 million California lives as a punchline.
This is a remarkable moment when the President of the United States of America, who was sworn to protect the people of this country, can make such an audacious statement.
By the way, did he say the same thing about the threat of North Korea? It seems to me that with North Korea firing missiles, and in terms of its being proximate to the United States, We on the West Coast should be more worried about North Korea than about Iran.
We spoke yesterday about Gavin Newsom's remark that the President was deranged and dangerous.
And yet, have you noticed the deafening silence from his supporters in the Republican Party? There is no doubt that here in California, the Democrats are going to win overwhelmingly.
But there is also no doubt that what Donald Trump says is more than a parochial issue to California.
