newsom: there's a lot of theories about that. texas has higher violent crime and property crime than california. we grew as a state at .8%, our violent crime rate, nationwide at 5%. we are seeing pockets of crime all throughout california, not just in the bay area, interesting the murder capital in the state is kern county, one of the more conservative parts of our state. there are a lot of theories, but this is absolute. it is unacceptable. people have the right to be angry about it. people's feelings are one thing. . -- statistics are another. we've been very aggressive with the mayor, doing whatever we can to support them, trying to increase enforcement. we've created -- a few years back, it interesting, now getting a little bit of attention. we extended it last july. and police chiefs and organized task force to go after these organized flash mob rings. and that is our priority and in my new budget, you're going to see substantial increases in investment in that space. kristen: governor newsom, i also want to talk about educa

what's your read on what governor newsom is doing here? >> their last names were not alito or thomas. look, it seems a little too cute. i understand what he's doing and he's trying to make a point. but that law in texas and mississippi, these are lawed that have passed through the legislature's lane by the governor. i don't know that governor gavin newsom can do this unilaterally. but he's trying to make a point.

president biden governor newsome focusing on increasing testing this week. how critical is that piece when it comes to slowing the spread, especially as we talk about macron? well it's going to be pretty important and critical again. vaccines are the most important things and boosts is specifically. but above that testing as prevention is, is a really key strategy. and as people know, you know, you have a big family gathering people coming over from over the state of the country. uh you can make that safer by having rapid testing just before and of course, knowledge is power. so if you know you're positive, you stay away from people who are negative to prevent transmission. yeah, doc, i want to talk to you about what we're seeing in south africa. some hopeful reports that case councils are starting to fall. does that mean omicron can potentially be short lived here? yes so the current thinking is that, um, a crown is gonna blaze through quickly come in, but also quickly leave. almost like, uh, hurricane so to speak, and the reason is because it kind of runs

laura: does that include nancy pelosi or gavin newsom?meone who hasn't been scared to tell the truth about this pandemic from the start, alex berenson, author of the new must-read book, i love this book, congratulations on the book. this fauci comment and the mindset from him, he is confirming what you and i have thought from the beginning that this is a way of life now. this is the american way of life, masks and mandates are never going away until we have a change in leadership. >> i think that might be true. it is certainly certainly no scientific rationale at this point even distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated people in terms of their ability to transmit this, vaccinated people can walk around with very high loads of virus just like and vaccinated people and i got to see all the lies, all the misstatements from fauci and other public health people for the last two years and i understand better why everyone is so cynical, everyone who has been paying attention is so cynical about everything that comes out of this man's mout

governor gavin newsom, everybody holding hands, we are all singing the praises of science and politics. that is not true in all parts of california. the central valley, the of one of the most, you know, hesitant populations when it comes to vaccines. i think governor gavin newsom a few days ago was trying to promote boosters by being in the san joaquin valley that one of the schools really speaking to that need for that population to get it. we may be writing this wave of previous immunity to natural infection that is boosting community immunity. but if omicron comes in, we do know from south africa that reinfection is definitely a thing. natural immunity force field may go away and only the people with the vaccine immunity may be left standing. >> all right. you know, myself and many others out there want to know what does this mean for our holiday plans? tell us from your mouth as an expert who has been studying covid-19, nose infectious dieases what are your holiday plans and are you planning to make any changes to them? >> i subscribed to the dr. anthony fauci religion. like you sa

the sixth one got to newsom and qualified. when he qualified, people were complaining about taxes, the sanctuary state, guns, you name it. covid wasn't even an issue at that moment. the fact of the matter is that newsom had this recall event. he beat it back, and he was able to beat it back with one of the republicans who replaced him. for him to reject it, newsom spent $90 million, more than the 60 million that he spent to win the governorship in 2018. so this was a big issue, a big contest overwhelmed by the governor then. the question is will covid come back to get him when he runs for reelection? >> it will be interesting to see what he spends on that reelection. what's number 3? i can think of a couple candidates, but who won? >> we want to merge homelessness and homes. homelessness for the disaster in the state. 100,000 people are homeless. that's 10% of the homeless population, and california, of course, is only 12% of the nation. so we really have a serious issue here with homelessness. we've had very few gains. yes, w

the thing about newsom. you know this but there was no power in my house or my sister's house on thanksgiving. not because there was a fire but because the electrical grid was so weak they had to shut it down so it wouldn't cause a fire. gavin newsom is hobnobbing in mexico and we are high and dry in a blackout in southern california, and by the way, when larry elder ran against him, larry elder ran on getting the power grid back up and running and all gavin newsom did was focus on race. in the people of california are so stupid that they vote for the guy who never stops talking about racism. meanwhile the power grid is falling apart. >> laura: and smash and grab all over the state as well. i've got to show a clip from the debut of your new comedy series, i'm so excited with "the daily wire." the first episode features your old friend jay leno. >> this is the biggest audience, last year you couldn't go to bars, restaurants, he had to keep 6 feet away from women. every guy, they looked like harvey weinstein.

gavin newsom is no john wayne.l, you always have a unique insight into the mind of people. i am not talking about gavin newsom but democrat or liberal leaning voters. do they want this murder and mayhem in their neighborhoods? tammy: obviously not. what is interesting is they believe a lot of that rhetoric was rhetoric for a campaign, that it would never happen. then people vote down the line when they are on the ticket and go about their business but that is the most dangerous thing for politicians to do, to lie to the population and have it become so apparent right away on issues that affect local small businesses, safety of people in their own homes being able to go to a park, these are things they can't lie about. social media, just like at the border, if they keep images away from you they would do but in this case they can't. when you are looking at california and here's what happens when you hear about this, this is an indication of the democratic party nationally realizing this is a terrifying reality and t

i spent very clear about that the text decision governor newsom did not hold back when asked by abc 7ct abortion ban in texas friday the high court decided private citizens are allowed to sue anyone who provides or assists a woman in getting an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and while he's outraged by the decision newsome announced he's pushing for a bill in california that actually models that exact ruling supreme court is going to uphold vigilantes and uphold people putting women's life at risk than we will use and exercise our rights to advance similar law here in the state of california to protect people's rights against guns and gun violence newsome says, he's directed his staff to work with lawmakers and the attorney general on a bill that would allow residents to seek damages of up to at least $10,000 plus legal fees against anyone who manufactures distributes or sells an assault. or ghost gun in california in a statement he set in part if the most efficient way to keep these devastating weapons off our streets is to add the threat of private lawsuits. we will do just th

the point that gavin newsom is trying to make, if texas could do this, then why can't we.rcuts established federal precedent, roe v. wade, in the area of abortion. newsom saying we'll do the same thing on guns and who knows where this could lead down the line. so ultimately many case would be challenged in court and we would have to see how it comes out. >> and yet, he's going this route because the supreme court has let that texas law stand at this point. it hasn't ruled on the constitutionality of the texas abortion law. but by allowing it to stand, as challenges against it proceed, it's sort af-- sort of alaws th. so what do you think the supreme court will do? >> well this is a pandora's box that has now been opened. texas opened it up and the supreme court has thus far allowed it to stay open. i do think we're going to see other states weighing in and there is a concern, no matter which side of the aisle one is on, there is a concern this will open the doors for states at will to undermine the supreme court, whether it is on abortion on one side or gun rights on the o
