gavin newsom, no common sense. and then say they are going to defund the police. i support the police 100%. i support the national guard. i support our business owners in los angeles and around the country. and would do everything i can to protect them. >> sean: we have other issues. for example, gavin newsom talks about taxing water. i did a show from san joaquin valley. >> caitlyn: [laughs] >> sean: just doing my research. >> caitlyn: i know. >> sean: the delta smelt presented farmers from being able to farm. not a small -- farms now. >> caitlyn: i heard about the delta smelt. water is a big issue in the state. to be honest with you, just as a resident, i follow how much snowfall we have come in every year i see this guy go out, and he is on the news, and he has this big long pole, and he takes it out of this field and sticks it down to see how much snow we have. this year, it was only down, maybe, three or 4 feet. other years, it has been ten or 20 feet, pushing the pole, you think we are in good shape. our wate

republicans were probably oppose governor newsom. of that takes a bear to get the headlines, whatever it takes. >> one more question about the bear. the bear has been in movies before. peanut, very interestingly, lodged a complaint about its use as a campaign prop, so to speak. tell us about this. i'm also very interested because i am a californian. i am wondering why he didn't use a california grizzly. why did he use an alaskan kodiak bear? >> reporter: that's a good question. we don't know that they are's politics. we feel bad for the beer pick one concern we've heard from animal rights activists are the use of live animals. you have seen discretionary, the circus shows have come under, zoos. do we know that they are was happy with the way he was being used as a problem? a bear that is trained to be around people. it is still quite a sight. the animal rights activists are not happy at all. >> cox is casting himself as everyman, the beast you can get it done, just like that bear. caitlyn jenner also released a video. she cast hersel

let's just go after gavin newsom. that's clearly what they're doing with a special emphasis on trying to get latino and non- republicans or democrats on board. >> and that i wanted to talk to you about next. newsom has framed this recall as republicans versus democrats. republicans are behind these groups like rescue california. but they're trying to cross the aisle a little bit, bring in latinos, bring in these aapi voters. how critical is that? is that going to work? are they upset with newsom? are they going to rally behind this cause? >> they have to do it because state is heavily democratic. heavily democratic, then undecided, then republican. you saw that memo, i saw that memo. it's a pitch to the national republicans all around the country to join the fight by sending in money and get that bear rolling against newsom. what we're seeing is the emphasis will be getting out the republican vote, which is going to be sort of guaranteed. thicker the second is the undecided. they think they have a shot at the latinos

newsom, better, 53%. put all these thingsing to, they're all pieces. put them together, it looks like newsom, at least at this point in time, is a better place than gray davis was. >> and davis had the terminator, arnold schwarzenegger, coming after him. a big name, very well known, very charismatic. does newsom have anyone that stacks up against him that has the star power that schwarzenegger had? >> you raise a great question. actually, davis had two problems. he had schwarzenegger, he also had a fellow democrat, his lieutenant governor, voting to replace him just in case he got recalled. that made people think twice about sticking with davis if they could turn to cruz bustamante. it tour the him in two ways. right now there is nobody of that stature. john davis has a lot of -- excuse me, john cox has a lot of money. he's willing to spend it. so to what extent that matters in a state like california where media costs a lot of money, we'll have to see. but for the time being, we're left with these two questions. number one, will the democrats stay uni

virtually several prominent democrats are set to speak on saturday, including governor gavin newsome,pect the recall to take center stage. that's going to be front and center you know, at this stage of the game. then the new son team has to keep another democrat at its so as much party support, they can put behind his efforts and continue to call this republican recall. that is all the better for the governor, not a single democrat has emerged to challenge new. some of it, leo says it's still too soon in the process for anyone to break ranks. most people oppose the recall. so be foolhardy to stick your out there now because you'd only get whacked in the next few months. it sit back and watch to see what happens. and if there's opportunity someone might take advantage of the recall won't be official until the window to remove signatures ends. the secretary of state is expected to finalize it in june. in sacramento, ashley zavala kron 4 news. >> our 4 republican candidates seen as the frontrunners in the recall election. they include former mayor of san diego, kevin faulconer businessma

it's not clear if governor newsom will announce something like that similar today. so far the state has fully inoculated 16.7 million californians, that's just under 50% of the population. another 4.4 million have received their first dose. the state estimates there are 12 million californians who are eligible but for whatever reason have not yet received their shot. the governor wants to push those people before june 15th, the date that newsom has set for the state to reopen. when that date does arrive, a lot of businesses will be ready to welcome back customers at full capacity, like the enother of the merrow, a live music bar in san diego. venues will still have rules to follow after june 15th, however, so for example when hosting mega events which the state defines as events of more than 5,000 people indoors, 10,000 people outdoors, the people who are attending indoors would have to have verification of fully vaccinated status or negative covid-19 test result to go in to attend that mega event. outdoor mega events recommend the same or attendees wear masks. >> i
