California will never learn. When election time comes they'll all convince themselves that it'll be different this time while they vote her into office.
There is a recall in process for newsom, and he will be served papers putting him on notice by or before March 1st. So if you live in Cali, be aware for it so you can vote him out.
He will never do it, that would eliminate his chance for a presidential run. He’s just going to lie and gaslight his way to a nomination and hopes the legacy media carries water for him.
I've been thru contractor licensing process and it's blatantly all about suppressing competition, not about protecting the consumer who must carefully vet prospective contractors regardless. Most said here is easy to agree with, however--the "flushing water into the ocean" is silly in the limit. We fully utilize the Colorado River to the point it long ago failed to be a river, doesn't make it to the ocean. That's a very unfortunate result, rivers, salmon runs, all river attributes and recreation matter too. Desalinization must be part of the water solution for SoCal.
The same 4 family's have ruled my home state Cali for over 80 yrs. Without voter I'd and poll watchers Cali will never change. 62 to 85 was great but never regreted escaping in 90
Oh my goodness. Wow. First of all we eat frogs here in Louisiana but you would get shot if you tried to tell someone what they can do with their property here.
If Gavin Newsome had a brain in his head, he would listen to Steve Forbes. Forbes has forgotten more than Newsome has the capacity to know or learn!! COMMON SENSE!!!
Having worked in construction in Ca. for 40 years, Forbes is right on! I've seen costs go up over and over because of more and new government and state regulations! People wonder why houses and buildings cost so much, that is a big part or the reason!
@@dianekeil2967 ZERO chance anyone is getting a permit in 90 days, they will be lucky to get and submit plans for review in 90 days. Lets face it, we are already 2 weeks in to the 90 days, so there are only 75 left.
And remember too, Elon Musk is disgusted by Newsom and he took most of his business out of CA and moved to Texas. Now Elon is DOGE, so maybe he can inflict some DOGE upon New Scum and pressure him to bow down to the reality that he doesn't have a future in CA much longer.
CA will never get many builders who'd want to move there and work, too many rules and costs. I've been a carpenter for almost 30 years and I'd never step foot in that state to do work.
That's because they don't want to live in California the state they literally helped destroy but they will work for a company in California & live in Texas though
First time I have seen Steve Forbes. I have been getting much of my news lately from Forbes. Thank you for having fair and relevant reporting. I don’t care for biased reporting. I just want the truth and practical solutions to any issues.
If journalists over the past few elections would just be honest with people and hold all politicians accountable, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now in. But sometimes it takes a fall, before people realize that truth and accountability matter. Looking forward to the near future. My only fear is the sick people in the world trying to put a new wrench in the momentum and hope America is gaining.
MR. Forbes Thank you..for sharing with us.. this insight..! What really needs to happen is Gavin Newsome needs to go buy buy as well as that mayor and get some people in There who care about the people not the politics..! I sure hope Pray that President Trump will be able to do something great for that state.. Leadership wise..!!!
When you give someone power they will exercise it and will do anything and everything to keep it. Power sometimes drives people absolutely crazy. Recent events in California lend credence to this notion.
And we who live is states next to Ca are sick of giving them our water to help out. The rich who live on the coast, refuse to let desalination plants be built to help water shortages
no he wasn't the founder. it was his fathers company. and he sold it to the Chinese. and hes still on their payroll. just want to get his right status out there.
@diegojines-us9pc does not change the fact that his last name is Forbes and is the owner of the company And that was the main point I was making. Its not a regular journalist doing this report but the boss!! Don't miss the forest for the trees my friend
California restricted fire fighter along the coast to use sea water to fight fires. Because salt water would harm plants. That were burnt down to the ground, Environmental regulations is killing the construction and housing business.
We had a Vietnamese engineer who wanted to give Ca his patent for desalination plants and fix water issues decades ago. (As a gratitude for the US saving his family). He was fought by leftist extreme eco groups and democrats.. never happened.
@ sharp pen like president trump. i think i read that. if you wrote it. and i was talking about how trump just drew on a weather map to change the direct of the hurricane, making people they was safe.
Why didn’t he do that in 2018 when President Trump offered him all of the water in for maintenance free from the federal government what an ass governor needs to go?
Builders don't use laborers from unions here in Sacramento. Go by any builder sites, not 1 person speaks English. I wonder if the builders are running to sets of books, pocketing the difference of union wage & what they pay illegal workers?
I don’t think anything happens in California without a politician, getting his back pockets filled. and voter ID needs to be attached to any federal aid.!!!
I know someone here in Colorado who built a winery in California, wanted to tear down the old house there, but was taking years to get permits! He found he could donate it to the police and fire departments to practice raids and burn it down practicing fire submission, and then the lovely taxpayers of California paid to have the debris removed when done... Then he could rebuild and write off the donation! Amazing logic in California... unbelievable!
the head dallas water ulities. makes 160K a year. it is 4 times smaller than LADWP. and unlike LADWP it has no hydo electric plants. so if 4 times bigger with power plants should the director get 4 times. (really less). than the director in dallas?
If these fires had happened at a Resort or Large Amusement Park or a Massive outdoor Event or Concert the Organizers of said event would be Criminally charged. The Attorney General of California or a Attorney for the victims must seek Criminal Charges against the Governor, the Mayor, and every person involved in this collapse of preparedness
Here at Southern California we are thirsty for water. The state, needlessly puts us in a state of, almost, constant drought - The vegetation is dry, people are replacing their beautiful lawn with rocks, and the water prices are sky high. Open the spigot and let us, and the farmers get the water.
You don’t think you’re wasting your time telling a gangster to stop committing crime? Usually an external force like prison is required to accomplish that. Same goes for a gangster in political office.
California needs VOTER ID
That is the only way to fix that literal crap hole, the scam has to end sometime.
Voter ID would give up their control. Look how many hoops they jump through to add solar . Lol and that's green ... Control freaks
You need id to buy beer or cigarettes but not to
Vote? Please explain to me how that makes any sense?
@joshmorgan838 if California had voter ID they couldn't control it.
@ We show our ID when we register!!!
I'd prefer Gavin just resign
he would be pretty upset if he could read
He will not resign too many perks
Prefer if he could get fired and walked out in cuffs.
Same
@@sagebrushcraftco.351 Same
Gavin is on his last term, so the key is to replace him with common sense and that ain't Kamala
You'll have to take that up with Nancy. Kamala will be the next Governor
HELL NO to HARRIS, never gonna happen 😂
The citizens of CA seem to have little common sense, so they will likely vote in someone just as bad as Gruesom.
@@deborahwhit9583 Sure hope your right what a shit show that would be if she became governor.
California will never learn. When election time comes they'll all convince themselves that it'll be different this time while they vote her into office.
Gavin Newsome, Karen Bass, Adam Schiff, and Brad Sherman are turning CA red in more ways than one!
Don't forget Bonta

Take a note of their name!
Never make mistakes with next vote!
Cali voters don't learn so I doubt that
Nope wrong statement,these people are not intelligent enough to vote any way but antipatriot/demonrat.
Who else wants to see Newsom resign immediately, gone for good, recalled, never seen again, investigated, prosecuted and imprisoned?
Should resign like his brother Trudon't did in Canada.
He should’ve been gone years ago. The fires wouldn’t have happened.
Amen🙏🙏🙏
All of the above.
There is a recall in process for newsom, and he will be served papers putting him on notice by or before March 1st.
So if you live in Cali, be aware for it so you can vote him out.
Gavin NEWSOM needs TO RESIGN 💥 ASAP💥
And Bonta
Agrees with you millions millions millions times 😂😅😅🤣😂😄
He will NEVER resign, never, ever, never!
TheN maybe the good people of California will investigate & IMPEACH him out of office in handcuffs.
Incompetence, no dei here.
Can we agree to get rid of Newsom and Bass? They have taken LA backwards.
just fire newson do not let him resign if he resigns he get a pension from the state FIRE HIM IMEDIATLY
you mean impeach him? well how that work for donnie?

COMMON SENSE!!!
Well said.
*common* *sense* is *not* *so* *common* *anymore* :/
Common sense is a superpower in this environment
Newsom is China puppet. He best wake up, and join President Trump if he wants to save his career in politics.
Maybe he is the new Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, "If I only had a brain."
Having worked in construction in Ca. for 40 years, Forbes is right on! I've seen costs go up over and over because of more and new government and state regulations! People wonder why houses and buildings cost so much, that is a big part or the reason!

Mr. Forbes. Amazing- You are common sense, telling Californians what we need to hear. Every one should listen. Thank you.
He left out the fact that President TRUMP showed up in person and kindly told BASS how to proceed. MSM ??? why don't they report the real truth ??? 😢
*STEVE FORBES IS ALWAYS THE VOICE OF REASON.*
Well said Steve Forbes 👍
It also unearths the Gov Brown, Pelosi, Newsom, Getty grip on political power that has been running that state for generations.
Hasn't it dawned on people he lies?
Took Trump to shake him up. Trump got in his face in a professional way and made more sense in 5 minutes than Newsom has his whole term.
Yes,yes, yes!

costs. that they pass on to the costumers. so what was the other reason?
Stop turning Texas Blue - leave Texas alone and fix the mess you created in CA.
LOL.. Dont mess with Texas!!!!
I agree, I saw the wokesters in Texas last year
That's because they don't want to live in California the state they literally helped destroy but they will work for a company in California & live in Texas though
Any state. Stop leaving CA because you don't like it, and than try changing where you move to into CA.
Another lie. Texas GAINED 485,000 New Trump voters with ZERO gain in democrat voters. Look it up, the information is clicks away
*I always count on STEVE FORBES for logical and unbiased opinions !!!*
I can count on his opinion because it comes from a conservative viewpoint, not an unbiased one.

Why have the rules/regulations in the first place? I'm sure following the money will lead to some not-so-surprisibg discoveries.

Yes.

California residents say….PACK YOUR SUITCASE! NO MORE BULL!
Newsom's vineyards have enough water
Grape vines are unique in that the root will go 100 feet down for water.
Aunt Nancy needs her wine.🍷
They make too much money, above and under the table, to give them up.
No plastic straws were harmed in the incineration in LA
It sounds crazy, but the flow and pressure of a properly functioning hydrant would support sprinkler systems on the roofs of probably 100 houses
I don’t think anything happens in California without a politician, getting his back pockets filled. and voter ID needs to be attached to any federal aid.!!!
