Lewzer: Diverting the Columia River will save California

Former President Donald Trump promised Californians unprecedented access to water and reduced protections for a key fish species if he is reelected. Trump said all it would take would be to turn a massive "faucet," to switch from the water going "aimlessly into the Pacific" to sending it to communities, while also stopping wildfires. And he threatened to withhold federal wildfire money from California if Newsom didn't cooperate this time.

"You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north with the snow caps in Canada and all pouring down and they have essentially a very large faucet," he said. "You turn the faucet and it takes one day to turn it. It's massive, it's as big as the wall of that building ... and you turn that and all of that water goes ... aimlessly into the Pacific and if they turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles."

That's his plan. Ready to go on Day One. Pretty ambitious. Some would say impossible. So, is he lying, stupid, or just grabbing some -----?

It's a zero cost thing. It just takes a day to close the gigantic faucet and LA is inundated with water.

I think I found it! It's not a faucet, it's actually a dam. Specifically, the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State. It's the largest dam on the Columbia River and when it's open the water just flows uselessly into the Pacific Ocean.

All you have to do is close it and the water will back up and flow south through the Rocky Mountains to Los Angeles!

Oh wait. My bad. It would back up north into Montana.

Thought I had it there for a minute.

He probably thinks Greenland is in the way.
