As wildfires sweep through Los Angeles and as California falters in its emergency response efforts, actor James Woods appeared on Fox News Wednesday to criticize how the government is handling the crisis.
During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Woods slammed the government’s response in the city, where residents found fire hydrants dry and their homes ablaze. The actor also criticized how Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has handled the situation. Woods said Newsom is a “blithering idiot” and blamed the governor for what he said was Newsom’s repeated mismanagement of California’s fire preparedness and response.
Woods also directed his attention to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
“The people in charge, she took over and she put on her bio that her priority, my highest priority is inclusion, diversity, and equity. That is my priority. And somebody forgot to fill all the reservoirs, I guess, with water because when I was getting smoke alarms, there was a fire truck parked in front of my house, but they couldn’t pump any water because there was none, because they didn’t put them in the reservoirs,” Woods said.
The actor drew parallels between the current fire crisis and the recent surge in crime within his community. Woods said he attributed both to a lack of competent leadership.

“It’s the same we had with all the crime we have in our neighborhood, you know, in Los Angeles. When we had that idiot Gascon, you know, they just didn’t care,” Woods told Laura Ingraham. “Everybody was running loose. They were smashing places. You couldn’t walk down the street, you know?”
