Time Text
I do not have the right to tell you what to do.
We didn't fight for freedom in this country so that I, Gavin Newsom, a second-rate mind who has never thought any issue through.
Did you ever hear his interview with Adam Carolla?
You should all hear Gavin Newsom's interview with Adam Carolla.
The man has never thought through an issue in his life.
It's not even a condemnation.
Most people have not thought issues through.
It's a joke that the man is governor.
It is a joke.
But any Democrat will win in California.
You could be functionally illiterate, and if you're the Democratic nominee, you win in California.
If the state is an embarrassment, it has committed suicide, this state.
I hope the country is not committing suicide.
I hope the world is not committing suicide.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are free to do what you need to do or want to do.
And if too many of you gather together close to one another at the beach, there may be a price to be paid.
The odds are overwhelming that there won't be a price paid as it happens.
Nearly everyone who gets...
Not who gets the COVID-19.
Nearly everyone who dies from it is...
What was it in Finland?
Over 90% had comorbidity issues.
So we suggest that if you're 80 and have diabetes, maybe you should say...
Stay a safe distance from people.
Kids, the chances of something happening.
I am going to look up under 18 deaths in California from COVID-19 and car crashes.
Would you take a look?
I'm sure you could find that.
Look, I wrote this this week.
This is what...
What upsets me the most?
The ease with which Americans snitch on one another.
This woman in Texas who is my hero, and if this woman...
I will start a campaign to raise money for her.
She's opening her salon, correct?
A hair salon, is that right?
In Dallas.
And 50 people snitched on her.
I mean, she did it in public.
But this is...
Those 50 people are the people that in a totalitarian state would side with the monsters who run the country.
They are very scary people to me.
The people who snitched on this woman, what is it their damn business?
You don't want to go to that salon and die?
Don't go to the salon and die, which is what you think will happen.
Because you are afraid and scared.
That's what...
A good chunk of evil comes from frightened people.
Not to mention people who think that they're terrific.
God, I would love to list the 50 snitches.
This woman's a hero.
In my wildest dreams, I wouldn't think that if you opened up your hair salon...
in Dallas, I would be announcing on national radio that you're a hero.
Look, people draw the right lessons from this.
you Something good can happen, but I don't know if that will happen.
I'll tell you now, the notion, you want to...
I'm about to say something really important.
I hope everything I say is really important, so this is really, really important.
When we say public lands, we are lying.
It is a lie.
It is government-owned lands.
It is not public.
The beaches of California are not public beaches.
They are Democratic Party beaches.
Get it?
It is a gigantic lie.
That is the great lie of communism.
That is the great lie of socialism.
Oh, the people own whatever you fill in the word own.
Own the means of production, etc.
The people.
The people.
That's not true.
The state.
Zilch in California.
Newsom owns it.
Get it?
This is the lie of the left brought to you starkly.
You, the public, publicly owned lands, is a perfect example of Orwellian newspeak.
You are the public.
You have no say.
None whatsoever.
Get it?
Ask that of your leftist friends.
Oh, really?
Do you believe in publicly owned land?
Of course, a wonderful thing.
Why can't the public use its own land then?
Usually I know what leftists will answer.
I don't know what they would answer on this one.
Publicly owned lands.
In the name of publicly owned, the left takes power.
Power.
You know what the problem is?
For those of us who don't yearn for power, we don't get it.
I admit it.
My desire to have power over control over another is zero.
That's a major reason I loathe the left.
