Levin condemns Trump rally remarks naming Los Angeles and San Diego as 'small price'

Oct 7, 2026

The Courier California segment features Rep. Mike Levin criticizing President Trump's Oct. 5, 2026, rally remarks in Nebraska about the ongoing U.S.-Iran war. Levin plays a clip where Trump says higher gas prices are artificial and a "small price to pay for keeping the world safe," then adds that Iran "can take out a city" and suggests Los Angeles or San Diego, calling it a "very small price." Levin, who lives between the cities and represents San Diego County and military-heavy areas including Camp Pendleton, questions what part is supposed to be funny or cute and rejects post-hoc explanations that Trump was joking or discussing gas prices. The clip is presented as a direct quote with minimal additional sourcing beyond the viral rally footage. Levin stresses his district's 15,000 active-duty members, 230,000 veterans, and 1.2 million tied to military service, framing the comments as insensitive to those communities. No opposing voices or full rally transcript appear.
