This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian California, Governor Gavin
Newsom locks down his state once
again,
some business owners are closing
their doors and leaving the
state for good
next guest is considering doing
the exact same thing
joining us now, matchless it in
long Beach,
NIC you dont depend on
walk ins.
You depend on other businesses
thriving, so you can use your
expertise.
How has this affected your
business?
You are absolutely right and
thank you for having me this
morning.
We serve almost every other
business in the industry, ones
being affected by the lockdowns.
How this effects us is. I think a
great example of what is going
to happen with our economy.
Coming is trickle down effect as
they get hit and they lose
tricks over to us
its been very. Did he difficult
difficult,
Brian locked down your entire
state? Thirty three million people
basically say stay home and we
are not going to supply any type
of supplies or paychecks. For
example, Sal pay grounds,
zoos, museums, shut down,
retail store capacity. Twenty percent
travel and leisure use of hotels
are banned.
Catering band,
the governor, is looking out for
you
isnt that reassuring.
I dont necessarily know that
theyre looking out for us, you
will actions speak louder than
words.
They dont believe in heir own
edigits
and its so its going to be
increasingly difficult.
Frankly, I dont know any
businesses are going to be able
to survive another intense
lockdown like we are in right
now,
Brian. We know this. Two thirds
of this country living paycheck
to paycheck
NIC. Take that paycheck away
its already been done.
Unfortunately, we come out of
money put away for years.
Its been increasingly difficult.
Every single week have to start
looking at other options.
Brian NIC, do you have a lease?
We have a lease that lease is
up in about three months:
Brian right.
They need to get paid. They owe
the bank money a lot of times.
Bank needs to get back,
governors still gets paid and
legislators get paid
your own good. We are going to
stop everyone from working
just stay home at stare at the
wall.
That will keep you safe,
absolutely
absolutely
Sheila, cool outdoor dining, most
dangerous thing. You can do vote
down to shut down outdoor dining
and immediately goes to dinner.
Afterwards.
None of it makes any sense that
is the mostest from frustrating
part for people. Not only does it
not make sense, im not getting
paid at the same time and I
cant go to work and go out and
visit friends. The virus, isnt
regional. The pick and choose
policies that the politicians
put out are regional,
Brian whats going to be left.
You are killing us in order to
save us,
and meanwhile they say lockdowns
dont work,
w dot, HO dont work and Dr Fauci
lockdowns dont work.
They lock us down and use
different names for it.
Nice try.
We are in the same hell. You are
here in New York, NIC, keep.
