Eric Garcetti

It's astounding. I mean, these are the basics of leadership, respond to a fire, tell the truth, support our troops, deal with a pandemic. And he seems to often just get it wrong, get it wrong on the science.

I don't think Donald Trump knows, actually. And call me crazy, but when it comes to coronavirus, I listen to doctors. When it to climate change, I listen to scientists.

I found it climate mayors with two other mayors years and when President Trump said he was going to withdraw from Paris, we got on the phone and talk to Republican mayors and independent mayors and Democratic mayors now over 500 of us in…

Denial doesn't work when it comes to COVID. Denial doesn't come -- doesn't work when it comes to climate. And the cost of denial is that people lose their lives and their livelihood.

When a fire is coming to your house, every second counts. When a deadly virus is on its way, every day counts. And he has failed to warn us. He's failed to lead.

It's astounding. I mean, today, he said, what was it, I don't think science knows, actually. I don't think Donald Trump knows, actually.

Donald Trump really is responsible for more of our land here than we are, with a huge chunk of it being federal land. So it doesn't surprise me that he's been a bad landlord to California.

And I think the first responsibility of an elected official, a public servant is to safeguard lives. And if you can't step up for that you're not ready for this job.

This is just as dangerous a virus today as it was when it arrived, and we should never become too comfortable.

We're learning to live with it, not moving beyond it.

I'm calling nationwide for, something I call, a CARES Corps, together with Mayor David Holt of Oklahoma City, and Dr. McClellan, who used to run the FDA. We've said that we need 300,000 people.

I think it's so important for mayors, for politicians, to listen to the doctors.
