Arnold Schwarzenegger

I respect the court's decision and, as governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn the state Supreme Court ruling.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency for the affected area.

Governor Schwarzenegger says that Santa Ana winds could strengthen in the coming days and that could trigger flare-ups.

Governor Schwarzenegger has posted $50,000, the FBI $50,000, and ATF $50,000.

There is no doubt his Guard is strained a bit because of all the deployment in recent years, but when it comes to the number of men available, the number of pieces of equipment available, he says there's nothing that he needs to fight…

That is flatly absolutely not true.

I think it is very clear that we had a big disadvantage because of the winds.

Well, I think the most important thing is, don't sit around in your office and try to make decisions out of the office. You have got to be with the people. It's the most important thing.

Up next on this special edition of 360 in the line of fire, one on one with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We have, without any doubt, the greatest firefighters, the bravest firefighters, the most experienced firefighters in the world and I have seen them in action. They're working not only 24 hours around the clock, some of them work 40 hours…

We had 90 aircraft here in California. We had six additional aircraft from the federal government that can drop a huge load of water and chemicals and all this. But we could not use some of this equipment and some of those aircrafts…

The only way to grasp the true magnitude is to see it for yourself and to be out there with the people whose lives have been turned upside down. Seeing all of this destruction this week has been saddening, but, at the same time, I have to…

The president was on the ground today. California's governor has been seemingly everywhere.

I think the most important thing is don't sit around in your office and try to make decisions out of the office. You've got to be with the people. That's the most important thing.

He says flatly no. And any politician who says so is wrong.

You have got to be with the people. It's the most important thing.

We have the best firefighters. They're working 24 hours a day. They put themselves in harm's way.

He says that's flatly not true, Anderson.

The people are very happy about the fact also that not only celebrities are coming, but there is a celebrity governor that is following through. That when he says you will be taken care of, they will be taken care of.

So it has absolutely nothing to do with it. We have plenty of National Guards for this kind of natural disasters and there will be plenty of them available.

There's no way that you can just let people sit and wait for a disaster like this to happen. I think that this is a real situation here.

I think if the federal government does not really play ball with us or they're not good partners, I complain immediately. But in this particular case, I can tell you, I was really surprised, pleasantly surprised how quickly the president…

I was really surprised, pleasantly surprised that he got a phone call from President Bush so early in this crisis.

I have heard that the weather is going to change today. But I wouldn't, you know, trust my life with that information.
