Unfortunately, tonight the
unfortunately tonight, the
state of California continues to
fail its residence on virtually
every front,
from worsening public safety to
the destruction of small
businesses and to
out of control coronavirus
day to day life in the golden
state worsens by the day,
for example, some California
hospitals are citing oxygen and
supply shortages
in warning of an all out
disaster. In the weeks ahead,
Governor Gavin, Newsom and state
officials refused to change
course and instead continue to
double down on the same policies
from the past that have so far
failed to contain the pandemic.
The governors undefinable
failures, along with his refusal
to take any real responsibility for the worsening living
for the worsening living conditions,
conditions calling for a recall
conditions, calling for a recall
election at the major venture,
capitalist and political
consulting firm revealed this
week that they are backing the
effort with six figure donations
to force a recall. Vote
supporters need to collect
around one point: five million signatures by
March, and proponents say they
had around eight hundred thousand series effort
with, but unfortunately,
Californias problems go beyond
just the governors mansion. For
example, the state Supreme Court
recently ruled that thousands of
offenders are eligible for early
release
out, in LOS Angeles. Far left
district attorney George cast on
continues to use, face strong
backlash over his efforts to
stop prosecuting elbow wide
range of crimes and ending
sentence enhancement,
as the union representing the LA
county prosecutors has filed for
an injunction seeking to stop
these special directives. That
prosecutors say are illegal to
carry out and breaking tonight,
and he is going to file a
response by January 15th, where
theyve not issued the
restraining order that the
prosecutors were asking for. So
we will of course follow that
story. Very Democrats in
Washington want to take these
failed policies and impose them
on everyone, the right rest of
the country and unleash what
would be the most destructive
political force in modern? U dot s
history,
what youre seeing play out
across California as just a
preview of coming attractions at
the far left power grab doesnt
get stopped in its tracks
its. Why Americans must demand
something different from our
political establishment and
demand the so called leaders to
more than just pander for our
vote
instead do something to improve
the quality of our lives.
Former acting director of along
with congressman, Elect and
Kallikrein gentlemen welcome
aboard and happy new year to
both of you.
Thank you for being here
im, a native Californian. I
know you love and enjoy this
date. I was involved in the
recall of Gray Davis in two thousand and three
I was on Arnold Schwarzeneggers
transition team, but of course
too bad that worked out the way
that that worked out.
We got a dynamic here in
California. That requires people
to be bold.
Californians can do it with this
new money going in to this
recall effort. Do you see this
succeeding?
Do you think it is going to get
done
if very well? Could
I want to speak to people in
California have been really
frustrated over the last several
years.
We can recall him.
We are getting very close.
We are getting close to about
one million signatures.
We need one point: five we have until March.
We have a plan where getting
the money
we started slowly and one of
the reasons. Why was because of
Covid and the national election?
We are certainly not going to
get any help from the California
media, especially the Sacramento
media.
The whole state has been really
ruled by one party, the
Democratic Party.
They get to decide everything in
Sacramento
the media pander to them
thats a huge problem.
We are beginning to make a
change on going to encourage
everyone to get involved.
We really can recall Gavin
Newsom
its possible and it seems like
its happening.
The state of California is
magnificent. The people are
fabulous when I was on the left,
and even now we note that
California we are glued to buy.
The left is a petri dish about
what they can get away with.
What could they push on people?
It is interesting framework
where they achieve the dream of
being a. They seem to have
everything they want and they
cant admit when their wrong.
They are doubling down with this
new stage. It is a condemnation
of more businesses of the
future for everybody. Do they
actually think theyre going to
outrun the virus?
What do you think the outcome is
going to be?
What is it going to take for
Gavin Newsom and the Democrats
to say we were wrong,
as you remember, back in two thousand and three
Davis doubled down in the wrong
direction. Time and time again,
heat our economy was in ruin,
our electricity was unreliable
and tax increases followed.
Gavin Newsom is doing to the
same thing.
It is the tyrannical orators
that first were obeyed and
didnt work, and now you have
industry, especially the
restaurant industry, in full
revoked.
You can do go anywhere and
California and sit down and have
a dinner in a restaurant that
they said im not going to close
again when im, not the cause of
this and be put out of business,
and, of course the patrons are
coming back to those restaurants,
because they to know that three
quarters of all the cases
originate in the home and only
less than one percent originate in
restaurants and similar places.
Gavin Newsom will not allow real
science. Instead, he has political
concept that isnt working
its astounding
ended in our face to rate its a
fire,
its burning down the future.
In the thirty seconds we have left
here, the LOS Angeles County DA
and astounding configuration of
failure and desire, it seems for
more crime. Do you think hes
going to be stopped in any
fashion when it comes to what
hes been trying to do there?
I do think so.
The reason why is because of the
left? Actually,
a lot of my liberal friends are
sick and tired of garcetti, and
all of these policies from the
left shutting down the beaches
is what Gavin Newsom did in the
original action towards Covid nineteen.
This is not based on science,
its.
We really needed new leadership.
I think the left right and
center in California are all
realizing it.
This has gone wrong.
We have homeless people
everywhere.
Our economy is in shambles.
We dont have an LNG terminal,
our economy is booming from
natural gas, and our governor in
California has not allowed to
have a terminal on the West
Coast.
Gentlemen, it shows us that
leadership, manners and one
individuals ideas can have an
impact
that this is not a foregone
conclusion. That Trump has shown.
