Hollywood icon Mel Gibson is speaking out against California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the second time in recent weeks.

Gibson was speaking to a group of Californians, presumably people who lost their homes in the fires, when he suggested that Gavin Newsom 'wants to do the Maui plan.' This was an obvious reference to the government land grab that has been going on in Maui following the disastrous Lahaina fire.

Gibson called for new leadership in the state and also demanded that there should be federal oversight of any government funding that is given to California.

As he closed his remarks, more than one person can be heard yelling 'Mel for governor.'

Partial transcript via Wall Street Apes on Twitter/X:

"Newsom wants to do the Maui plan — There aren't any more locals living there anymore. They all had to leave town.

Do you think the people of the Palisades or Altadena are going to be consulted about how their areas are reimagined by Newsom and Bass?"

"Now Gavin has asked for 40 billion of federal dollars to do whatever he has in mind. Why would we trust him with that kind of funding? — See, along with that federal money should come a federal investigation "

"We need to see what's happening with our money, with our federal dollars. California deserves leadership that does more than acknowledge a problem. It deserves leaders who take real, meaningful steps towards addressing these threats to our community. You deserve better"

"It's time for accountability. It's time for leadership that doesn't wait until it's too late. And most of all, it's time for the government that stands with its people."

The effort to rebuild after the fires is going ridiculously slow and the longer it takes, the more people will start speaking out like this.
