President Trump’s fire fixer Lee Zeldin called out Gavin Newsom, making it clear he’s hurting fire victims by hurling daily insults at the president.

Zeldin was boots on the ground in the Palisades Wednesday where he held a roundtable, chatting with fire survivors before visiting one of the area’s burn sites. The California Post had exclusive access to the event.

During his visit, Zeldin said the amount of funding Newsom is asking for is a “massive, aspirational” number compared to what the local government actually needs to address the concerns he heard from victims.

“The governor then goes campaigning to become president in 2028, trying to lobby, lob insults at the president all day, every day, and in between insults — four or five of day — he’s like, ‘oh, by the way, where’s my tens of billions of dollars that are far above what the locals are asking for?’” Zeldin told reporters after a roundtable with victims of the Palisades Fire.

“So, my unsolicited advice, that I was happy to share this morning is that you’re getting undercut.”

Newsom’s office took issue with Zeldin calling out the governor.

“Disgusting that the federal government just admitted they are holding up funding for survivors because Trump’s feelings are hurt. What a sad attempt to continue to stall recovery aid for survivors. Requests for aid come from the state, not local governments,” Newsom’s spokesperson Tara Gallegos told The Post.

“The Trump administration has proven itself clueless and inept in addressing the Los Angeles Fire recovery and response. Trump has demonstrated a complete lack of leadership or compassion for this community, visiting the Palisades once and completely ignoring Altadena. In their performative visit today, the administration leaders again met only with Palisades survivors, not survivors in Altadena.”

Zeldin also met with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barge earlier in the day where he was told 1,000 permit applications have been sent back to the applicant.

“There’s a frustration level of people even wondering if they should enter into this process,” Zeldin said. “Our message to them is that we’re here to bring confidence to that. This is just the start of the dialogue.”

Zeldin held the roundtable alongside Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler where they heard from residents about the challenges they are facing when it comes to the permitting process, funding and getting insured.

Victims told Zeldin and Loeffler they want the federal government to step in, mirroring the post-9/11 Lower Manhattan model with a centralized agency overseeing Palisades funds to ensure accountability.

Loefller highlighted an executive order signed by President Trump last week first reported by The California Post that aimed fast-track the rebuild and “cut through bureaucratic red tape and speed up reconstruction” by circumventing local jurisdiction when it comes to getting permits approved if their application has been on file for at least 60 days.

“If you’ve had a permit on file that meets the contours of the law, you can self-certify,” Loeffler said, adding that they would then be able to immediately start building while city inspectors later check and verify the permit.

“There’s two forms on the sba.gov website that homeowners can download and submit with their builders,” Loeffler said. “They are self-certifying that they’re in compliance with the state and local policy requirements to move in, but this gets them on their way.”

Zeldin also toured the site of a home in the Palisades that was reduced to rubble. He underscored the urgency from the administration to help rebuild the Palisades, and said he will be back to visit the state later this month.

“I mean 13 months have gone by, families are running out of mortgage forbearance, they have communities without churches and schools—this is unacceptable,” said Zeldin.
