A California for a second because the polls do show you've been hearing this from Mosul week the poll shows that 64%.
Of California residents supports.
Governor Jerry Brown's -- to raise taxes.
In such -- left leaning state.
That's -- Republican stand a chance of beating a Democrat for a US senate seat.
Very good question.
They don't answer it is Elizabeth and can.
Republican senate -- she is the official.
Now what what's the expression -- you'll endorsed candidate at the California Republican Party endorsed candidate of the California Republican Party -- name is Elizabeth and get on -- thank you look you'll state is in dire straits is it not absolutely if you want.
What could you do about it.
First of all that we have to have a new leadership in California and has had a at this point let -- go and go -- -- -- -- a new leader.
We've got -- we've got to look at regulations we've got it will be big businesses competitive again in California we've been bleeding in them out of staying overseas now for years.
The regulatory environment the tax situation is out of control.
Five dollar tax amnesty unified dollar gas in California right now we have sixty cents on the gallon it's taxes -- -- Role but we regulations and rollback the taxes change the whole style of government have to yeah you got to book the California people don't want it keep fit looking sixty -- percent to raise sales taxes and taxes on the rich.
You know.
What have you stuff sometimes takes us a little -- you know 2010 as a Republican year but 2012 as an anti the Pendleton California -- -- in 2000 honor that's okay.
I'm not a -- -- California were not politically it's tough for us on a Republican here but this is an anti incumbent -- -- 44%.
Of Californians want a new senator only 41% -- -- keep Dianne Feinstein.
You going after dinner appointments -- absolutely that's okay I made a mistake is not Barbara -- seat that was showers in 2010 -- that's part we have her for another 61 of the polls telling you at the moment.
The last step -- PPP said forty -- percent.
But likened you senator was against -- generic Republican I've just received the endorsement a couple weeks ago we don't have any point on that yet.
But and only 41% would like to keep her -- you 70%.
At California's they were on the wrong track alright.
Would you take my -- I bet anything.
Including this New York State law through -- and I will bet anything.
That President Obama wins California in November by at least ten points would you take the -- You know I hadn't really no doubt that that that's quite possible but -- tell you I don't.
Need to.
Obama does not need to lose California for need to when he just seems to underperform.
There are so many -- in California right now who recognized -- five cents been in office for 42 years.
And she's her alone six point five trillion dollars since 2007.
She's run up our debt I study preparations -- She was the -- -- -- just doesn't -- and then she'd went straight to the US senate's.
She went she's been in the senate now for twenty years we used to that the case -- she's been a teleconference -- -- -- -- bringing new energy back in Washington -- is voted down the keystone XL pipeline twice.
-- she voted for obamacare we can afford that.
And -- there's really nothing in her record from last six years that.
That would suggest she's due another six years in the US senate you'd agree it's an uphill struggle absolutely but everything I've ever against an uphill struggle.
Got and he got -- -- loss on this day.
I think I guess I would just start you know you've got a lot of competition even on the Republican primary know there's a whole new system of government deposits at the top two primary system.
How is that impacting it's actually completely different in 2010 it was still -- primary so there was a competitive.
Partisan primary.
For all practical purposes the partisan primaries over in California the Republican parties made their selection there's twenty rich.
I bet -- -- the candidate and the candidate there will be 24 people on the ballot.
Now that -- open primary so without a doubt there's going to be a big long list which is as you can imagine why both parties Democrat and Republican came -- said.
These are the candidates we've done -- vetting and here we're ready to get got you got -- money.
Well let me tell you learn from 2010 it's not the most money that -- it's the right message.
The right messenger and the right town that would and that primary concern of voters is around -- talking point California will obviously isn't the economy absolutely absolutely business you know I have some friends who were literally moving out of state because they're heavy equipment will be EPA out of its clients in 2000 or so why do they always vote for more regulation will -- you know where it was.
-- -- -- It takes a saw a little while to -- to.
Deal with the rest of the country is feeling but now people are moving out of state that talked with a gentleman in Biotech the other things is I can't afford to restart another business here in California I'm going to Florida.
When you start encountering neighbor after neighbor business after business that says I can't change how offering more where not competitive but you know and you know -- opponents are going to say you were four.
Helping the wealthy how -- you can't make them understand that this is about keeping your tax dollars keeping the -- is how do you get that message written fiscal again -- sequentially to a point.
When your neighbors are leaving you know something has changed and my personal back right -- and my background says that I'm not somewhat of compassion I was with Autism -- For many years -- on behalf of kids nationally.
So I'm taking the message of fiscal conservative responsibility.
Bringing business competitive back to California again but with a chick Karen compassion for families that is.
-- background while please come back to business you are what is there a speed on how you're doing in California and worry we call it the -- yes Golden State -- downside about it is that -- -- me active and 102012 dot com if you well and I would -- to come back and deal Elizabeth and confectionery -- thanks so much that you might lead the.
