Fox News host Shannon Bream challenged Vice President-elect J.D. Vance not to "be divisive" during an interview about the wildfires in California.
"I want to talk to you about the fire situation in California, because your administration will be coming in, taking over the reins as the feds are trying to meet that, along with many other emergency situations they have going on," Bream told Vance during an interview on Fox News Sunday.
"Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, has written to President Trump saying, let's not be divisive right now. Come out and visit. Let people see us working together." she continued. "Any indication the president-elect may do that?"
"I do think, frankly, the federal government has to do a better job," Vance opined divisively. "President Trump is committed to doing a better job when it comes to disaster relief. That's true for the hurricane victims and flood victims in North Carolina."
"Now, that doesn't mean you can't criticize the governor of California for, I think, some very bad decisions over a very long period of time," he added. "I mean, some of these reservoirs have been dry for 15, 20 years. The fire hydrants are being reported as going dry while the firefighters are trying to put out these fires."
"There is a serious lack of competent governance in California, and I think it's part of the reason why these fires have gotten so bad."
Bream pointed out that many people were worried "about what the administration will do when it comes to handing out aid to California."
"They're citing back to something that the president-elect said in September when he said, we won't give him money to put out all his fires, and if we don't give him the money to put out his fires, he's got problems," she noted. "Is there any consideration of withholding aid to Californians?"
"No, look, President Trump cares about all Americans, right?" Vance insisted. "He is the president for all Americans, and I think that he intends to have FEMA and other federal responses much, much better and much more clued in to what's going on there on the ground."

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance reminded officials in Greenland that the U.S. military maintained troops in the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, host Shannon Bream asked Vance about Trump refusing to rule out the use of military force to take possession of Greenland.
"What's the deal with Greenland and the Panama Canal?" Bream wondered. "Are we using or considering use of military force in any of those situations?"
"No, look, we don't have to use military force, Shannon," Vance insisted. "The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland."
"Greenland is really important for America strategically," he continued. "It has a lot of great natural resources."
Vance said his "good friend Donald Trump Jr." had recently visited Greenland.

"And you know what they told him?" the vice-president elect said. "They want to be empowered to develop, the people of Greenland want to be empowered to develop the resources there."
"We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective," he added. "The Danish government has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland."
"I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership, to protect America's security, to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed, and that's what Donald Trump is good at. He's good at making deals, and I think there's a deal to be made in Greenland."
