Californians may undergo a transformation following the LA fires, which exposed the state's vulnerabilities.

Jenner stated that this light is beneficial because it will function as a "disinfectant."

Caitlyn Jenner, a long-time California resident and Planet Chronicle contributor, predicts that there will be a "change" in thinking across the state after the way leadership handled the wildfires still affecting parts of Los Angeles County.

Jenner, who has resided in California since 1973, recounted the first time she encountered the "Welcome to California, the Golden State" sign on Highway 82.

Jenner stated on "The Story" that the state's decline over the years is due to the politicians in charge, as we are no longer gold, silver, or bronze, and we no longer make the finals.

The 2021 Republican recall election candidate contended that the revelations about officials' failure to prepare for wildfires will expose California's "flaws."

""Light is beneficial because it's a disinfectant. However, we face numerous challenges, primarily with politicians, who often respond like in a game of 'whack-a-mole,'" stated Jenner."

She described a game where you have a mole and a board, and you bang down a hammer on the mole's head when it pops up. Another mole appears, and you repeat the process.

Jenner explained her analogy by stating that instead of being on the offensive a year before the fires, they try to fix the problem as soon as it arises.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's response to the wildfires was criticized by Jenner, who has experienced the devastation of wildfires on her properties multiple times and emphasized that they occur frequently.

Jenner acknowledged the devastation caused by the flames, stating, "This is devastating stuff. And they're not on the offense."

Jenner pointed out California's water infrastructure issue, which has been exacerbated by the unusually windy conditions.

In the 60s, the California aqueduct was constructed, which was the greatest water project in history. Since then, we have been governed by liberal Democrats, and as a result, we receive less and less. It's a shame because there are many things that can be done, and their priorities are misplaced.

The outdated water reserves system in California prevented it from storing all the water from the record rainfall last year, resulting in much of the rain water being dumped into the ocean.

Jenner stated that she believes California will become more Republican due to the wildfire mismanagement in L.A. and President-elect Trump's election victory.

Jenner stated that the amount of blue in California has decreased significantly in recent elections, from half the state to about a third. He explained that most of the blue zones are located in the major metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

Jenner stated that the people of California need to change their thinking, and the current fire situation will likely bring about this change. He emphasized that California is under Democratic control, and events like this fire are necessary for a shift in thinking.

She stated that they control the money, votes, and unions, and in her opinion, the entire state is a big scam.
