FIRST LET'SHEAR A BRIEF STATE OF THESTATE FROM YOU TOO HOW ISCALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW ANDHILLARY START US OFF.

SUREWELL.YOU KNOW THAT THE GOVERNORIS REALLY GOING TO WANT TOEMPHASIZE THAT A YEAR AFTERTHE COVID SHUT DOWN WE ARE ONOUR PATH TO RETURNING TOWHETHER OR NOT KIDS CAN GOBACK TO SCHOOL.

WHETHER WE CANGO TO SPORTING EVENTS WHETHERWE CAN GO TO DISNEYLAND AND ITHINK THE GOVERNOR TOOK SOMESTEPS LAST WEEK TO TRY TO IT'STHOSE PROCESSES ALONG HIS DEALTO CENTER BY SCHOOL DISTRICTSTO REOPEN AND PROVIDING APATHWAY FOR SPORTS AND PARKSTO REOPEN.

THERE'S CERTAINLYSTILL A LOT STEPS TO BEFOREBEFORE WE FULLY REOPEN OFCOURSE THAT INCLUDES GETTINGTHE VACCINATION IN EVERYONE'SARMS BUT DEFINITELY TAKENGREAT PAINS TO SHOWCASE.

THEPACE VACCINATIONS PICKING UPDEFINITELY AND TABLETS GET YOUIN HERE HOW IS CALIFORNIADOING RIGHT NOW.WELL WE'RE A YEAR INTOSTUDENTS NOT GOING TO SCHOOLYEAR INTO SMALL BUSINESSESTHAT HAVE EITHER BEENCOMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ORPARTIALLY SHUT DOWN.

FAMILIESTHAT HAVE HAD REDUCED INCOMEAND HEAD TO SEAGER OUT A WAYTO HANDLE ALL OF THESERESTRICTIONS.

SO I THINK THEGOVERNOR HAS AN ENORMOUSCHALLENGE ME THE VACCINECERTAINLY IS A CRITICALELEMENT OF IT BUT WE'VEALREADY SEEN A NUMBER OFPEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOWTHE RULE OUT HAS BEEN MUCH CANYOU HAVE NOW AND BLUE SHIELDCOMING IN IS THE OVERSIGHT ANDNO COUNTIES YOU KNOW BEFRUSTRATED THAT BLUE SHIELD ISCOMPLETELY CHANGING THE ITHINK THIS IS A VERY TRYINGTIME AND EACH THE GOVERNOR ISFACING AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGEIN GETTING A STATE OF THEUNION I THINK IF HE DOES DON'TWORRY BE HAPPY THERE SILVERLINING THAT KILLED JUST ISFURTHER.TO HAVE GIVEN THE FACT THATJUST OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND.THE ORGANIZERS OF RECALL GAVINTWENTY-TWENTY ANNOUNCED THEYBELIEVE THEY HAVE ENOUGHVALIDATION CHALLENGE DOES ITMATTER WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYSTONIGHT IS THERE ANYTHING THEYCAN PULL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE INTHAT RECALL EFFORT BACK FROMTHE EDGE.WELL, THE RECALLS GOING TOGO FORWARD TO IT AND THINKTHERE'S ANY DOUBT FROM ANYLEGITIMATE SOURCES THATTHERE'S GOING TO BE A RECALL ITHINK HE'S NOW IN CAMPAIGNYESTERDAY.

YOU KNOW SORT OFFIGURE OUT HOW HE'S GOING TOSURVIVE RECALL THAT THE RECALLIS ALMOSTBUT ANYTHING THAT HE CANSAY TO VOTERS THAT THAT THATCOULD VOTE IN THAT RECALLEFFORT TO PULL THEM BACK FROMTHINKING THAT HE MIGHT NEED TOBE GONE.I THINK THAT'S HISCHALLENGE AND HE'S GOT TO ITHINK PEOPLE DON'T WANT TOHEAR ANOTHER HAPPY STORY INAND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T NEEDTO BE REMINDED OF THETRAGEDIES WE FACE HE NEEDS TOLAY OUT A VERY CLEAR PLAN NEWTHE PLAN HAS CHANGED SO MANYTIMES THE PEOPLE ARE A LITTLESAYS SUSPICIOUS HAVE PLANSWERE REALLY OUT THERE THAT HENEEDS TO ADDRESS AND WHAT AREWE GOING TO DO ABOUT THEHOMELESS PROBLEM WHICH IS ONLYGOT WORSE.

HOW WE GOING TO GETSCHOOLS ACTUALLY REOPENED IN 2DAYS AND WEEKS WITH 2 HOURSINSTRUCTION IS REOPENED TO GETSMALL BUSINESSES BACK ON TRACKALL RIGHT HILLARY.WHAT MIGHT HE SAY TO VOTERSWHO WOULD VOTE TO RECALL HIMWHAT MIGHT HE SAY TONIGHT TOYEAH, WELL I THINK THEGOVERNOR IS GOING TO REALLYHIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE AREON A PATH TO REOPENING THAT WEHAVE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESSTHAT THEIR SACRIFICE OVER THEPAST YEAR HAS NOT BEEN FORTHE STATE.

WHETHER THIS CRISISAND THAT WE PASSES KIDS CAN GOBACK TO SCHOOL SO WE CAN GETBACK TO NORMAL LIFE.

SO THATRESTAURANTS CAN HAVE FOLKSINSIDE FOR DINING.

I THINKHE'S GOING TO BE CAUTIOUS.

SOWE'RE NOT A 100% THAT OF THEWOODS AND HE'S GOING TO WANTTO NOT OVERSELL EXPECTATIONS.BUT REALLY SHOW THAT THERE'S ALIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNELTHAT WE'RE ALL WORKING TOWARDSIF THE RECALL DOES IN FACTPASS I DON'T I'M NOT I'M NOTCONCEDING IT'S A GIVEN THAT ITWILL BUT KEEP IN MIND THATTHAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT ANDBEFORE THE VOTERS UNTIL NEXTKIDS TO BE FULLY BACK INSCHOOL THE ECONOMY COULD BEREOPENED.

SO IT WILL BEDIFFERENT A DIFFERENT PICTUREAT THAT POINT ALL RIGHT, THANKYOU SO MUCH BOTH OF YOU FORGIVING US YOUR INSIGHT THISMORNING, WE'LL BE ALL.LISTENING TONIGHT AT 6 WEAPPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU SACSTATE IS STILL HELPING WITH ANANNUAL AREA FUNDRAISER DESPITETHE PANDEMIC AND THEY'RE
