Priceline every trip is a big deal. Ainsley Californias, Governor Ainsley, Californias, Governor Gavin Newsom, survives recall push our next guest fear. His win will encourage more lockdowns and policies that are hurting their small businesses. Cynthia was among fifty Napa Valley, restaurant owners who sued the governor over the states, outdoor dining and wine tasting ban. Erin Byrd said he made recalling Newsom his business after threats of fines and charges for defining indoor dining restrictions at his distill lerry. You may remember: San Francisco hair is salon owner who was forc to close after death threats for releasing in video of a maskless speaker, Nancy Pelosi visiting her salon during the shutdown they all join us now. They all join us now good morning to all of you, whatever it happened that, unfortunately, I did shut down.

My hair is a son and now im just renting a chair in Central California, because, unfortunately, with the way things are going, I am not confident to reopen a new salon at this time. Ainsley im! So sorry, are you thinking about leaving? I actually am working part time in Nashville Tennessee thats, just because I am we are afraid of you know. If is he going to especially now that he has not been recalled to have another shut down? Ainsley taxes are a lot better down in Nashville too Cynthia. I know you are tired, with the roller coaster, with these mandates. How do you feel about this recall? Well, im hoping I was trying to look on the bright side a little bit im hoping this is a wake up call for Governor Newsom. There were people like me who were really upset with him and the actions that he took along with our coalition of wineries and restaurants during the pandemic and im hoping he realizes that our small businesses are integral to California remaining the fifth largest economy in the world,

and if he cant just continue to shut us down, he has to find a way to protect health and protect our businesses and the economy and the employees that we employ Ainsley Aaron. I know you say the recall, despite the fact you didnt get your way is still a success. Why do you say that? Well, it was a huge grassroots effort. We were very you know under funded, compared to Newsoms seventy million that he got. I think about ten million maybe was raised across and it was great to see this revolution of small business owners and dissatisfied parents and just ordinary Californians, who you know, put their foot down and said. We need change here, so I feel optimistic for that and where I think we will see a lot of businesses leave the state now. I think the majority of us are going to stay and fight and try and take our state back Ainsley. He actually got eighty three dollars million a lot of big tech companies so Cynthia. How is this going to affect you going forward?

What are you going to do im talking to some friends in California? Why dont you move? They said we cant. We have got our business here. They are in the entertainment industry, successful in California, yet they are Republicans. What do you say? What do you say? Well, my partners- and I have been serial few of us- have opened. You know successfully restaurants throughout the years in California, but im not sure any of us are interested in opening additional brick and mortars here right now in this kind of business, unfriendly climate thats happening here and thats pre pandemic as well, business unfriendliness, leading up to it and the pandemic was the straw that broke the camels back the existing restaurants we have here. Of course we have to continue to stay open for us and for our employees, but im not sure that we continue to invest in California, Ainsley Erica. Many of our viewers are waking up this morning. They wanted to know what the results were. What was your reaction? When you found out that Gavin Newsom is staying,

I was absolutely devastated. I think small businesses are devastated again. I traveled up and down the state speaking- and this is not a republican recall. This was a bipartisan recall. A Democrats and Republicans alone are small business owners. But again I do think this was a huge success, because a small group of people did put some fear into the governor to the point that he actually had to fly out. The vice president and the President so im honing that you know we did push for him to have a little bit of a scare Ainsley. I wonder if this election to come place, the recall took place right after he was caught at french laundry, what the results would be, but they delayed and delayed. So many people now are happy with whats happening after the delta variant. Thank you so much for being here. I wish you all the best with your businesses and hope you.
