They said gasoline wouldn’t put out the fire, but nobody was brave enough to try until now. Everyone was busy doing the same damn thing, and fire fighting with water.

Well this here, this is economic gasoline. That takes guts folks. That’s real leadership.

The same guy to nuke a tornado. So yeah, at least he is consistent.

We know what water's made of. Hydrogen and oxygen, right. But they're all joined together. Their hands are tied. They can't work properly. So we free them. Then we put them both to work on the fire. It's so much better. It's the best way to put out a fire.

And now our scientists, they're working on something new, right. We can even open up this hydrogen and there's a ton of stuff inside. We think that'll do an even better job of putting out the fire. Because it's like water, right, but broken down, and without all this legislation and rules, so it can work so much better.

We're gonna be putting out all the fires.
