certainly california enjoying that sunshine across the entire state. cruz right now under the mostly sunny skies. 67 in santa rosa. the same in napa. 66 in concord. pretty much everywhere is either at or about 65 degrees. let's talk about encouraging news, our snowpack. this image from space was three week ago. you can see our snowpack, it was pretty minimal. it was below average for this time of the year. fast forward to now where we saw feet of snow in the past couple of weeks and it really has made a difference. the snowpack today bigger, it's healthier. yes, we are still below where we should be, but we are at 69% of normal, which is a huge gain over the past couple of weeks. good news there. here is live doppler 7 along with satellite. the past 12 hours nothing but sunshine across the golden state. high pressure is in control. it will remain in control tomorrow as well. we may get a few thin high crrus clouds from time to time, but all in all a really nice end to the weekend. all right. so overnight tonight mid-30s to mid-40s under mostly clear sk

it's a california issue.m and his policies and failed policies and how he shut down the fifth largest economy in the world this past year and i think the political discourse has turned out to be a monster, a monster movement here in california and we're not going to stop here in california and we've been contacted by people in new york and michigan and other states who want us to come over there and see if we can help them recall their governor as well. so what goes on in california goes on throughout america. ashley: we appreciate you being on this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you so much. todd: still ahead, minneapolis residents begging for officers as crime spikes following last year's push to defund police. the millions being poured in to recruiting. ashley: this president's day may be the most important yet as the founding fathers face being canceled. a presidential historian on how to preserve them, next. ♪ made in the usa. ♪ made in the usa. ♪ type 2 diabetes can have a big impact on your life. bu

what's with california anyway? they come up with some real doozies, don't they? take nancy pelosi, you can thank her for the san francisco event people outside of restaurants and patrons watching over caesar salad while the restaurants are closed most of them roads leading -- laying claim to their side of the street and take governor gavin newsom. you can thank them for the shutdowns in california of small businesses and students of public schools suffer while he enjoys himself keeping his winery open in eating escargot at the french laundry. take kamala harris she was a prosecutor who worked her way up and went from being pro law enforcement to pro criminal promoting the bail bonds for those who violate tour up our streets and cities during the december rioters. adam schiff in ka pinocchio lied repeatedly about having evidence of russia collision with donald trump as he single-handedly sought to impeach president trump. there was no rhyme or reason, he was just pure political hatred and despite his promises special counsel mueller's report made clear the investi

is with california. suffragists is what hhg used in part as her wedge into the white house, so she had spent the winter of 15 16 the year that sherry was talking about when the when the national women's party was trying to get wilson defeated and trying to get the california women to turn out. hhg had spent the winter here. so she spent a lot of time serving california suffragists. how are you gonna vote? what do you think about this and he and she was not in favor of the blanket vote out all the democrats strategy. so when she returns to washington in june of 1916, that was her entree to the white house. she said, you know, you need to know that not all suffragists think like this. i've just returned from california and i've got like the scoop on california. so she really that as her entree to befriend wilson and his chief of staff and his wife. so i think that, you know people talk a lot about the 1917 new york state referendum as important, but i think also the role of california in 1516 also is somet

and that's the problem in california. we've got the vaccine distribution, which you just mentioned is lagging a lot of other states. you look at west virginia, albeit a small state, but let's face it that means they have fewer people to administer the vaccines. and they used the pharmacies in west virginia and achieved tremendous success. you know, kristen, we have 6,000 pharmacies in california. we could have distributed this through the pharmacies and really gotten penetration and really gotten it in people's arms. instead, we're doing these mass, huge events, which you know are just not fulfilling what we need to fulfill. same thing has happened with the management of the economy during this pandemic. we have literally crushed small businesses. and kept our kids out of school. and kept them out of activities, which i think is inflicting untold amount of harm to our children. on top of that, we also have the old stand bis in ka california. housing prices out of sight. homelessness, lack of electricity, lack of water. we

let's take a look at overall the numbers in california so california has more than 7.5 million doses. that's what they have in the stockpile has been distributed to california as far as distributed into arms into people. it's just over 4.7 million shots that have been given out. time now is 9 '08 and we have good news from pfizer they are speeding up their production time. so that now they can make new batches of their covid vaccine in 6 months. instead of a 120 sorry 6 days and 720 days. so that's a really big difference in how quickly they can push this out and all of the states and the nation wants more doses so they can roll out more so far more than 20 million doses of the pfizer vaccine have been administered in the u.s.. and breaking news from overnight in san jose police are investigating a homicide. and they've been doing this at east santa clara street from 26 street to highway one oh one. you can see that it has been closed ever earlier this morning we were on the scene we know that one man died that's we're investigating but we don't know anything about what happened. and

todd: i lived in california for 12 years. did not know many of the names of the counties north of sacramento much less the towns within them, much less their representatives. is it true that other parts of california like la where i lived for 8 years really don't care about the northern part of the state? >> they don't care and why should they? things that happen to us don't affect them. we have to have government that adequately represents our needs and we have lives too and the right to adequate and fair representation and that is what we are striving to achieve through a state of our own with the constitution that is very difficult to change and will prevent these kinds of government overreach from ever happening again. >> california is a very big agricultural state but even within the ag community what you grow in northern california is significantly different from what they grow in the central valley so even though you might have the common bond of farming it really isn't much of a bond at all. do you believe your effort
