"Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for? You were here last time. We talked about regulations. You said, 'Oh, it's a completely new day,'" Maher said and made a face at the governor. "You said you were working on it."

Newsom acknowledged it's "our job" to eliminate such bureaucratic hurdles, to which Maher interjected, "How's that going though?"
"When we have an emergency mindset, it goes extraordinarily well," Newsom followed, citing how his administration got Interstate-10 up and running "within eight days" after the fires and not "months and months and months" that it normally would have taken as well as the first phase of debris removal being done "in less than a month."
