Over Jimmy Carter when I was fourteen years old.

Highs Derek thanks so much for having me on now we just had Chris Christie they'll lecturing you -- -- people from cal California.
Do you think you you've got a huge delegation of the Tampa convention what I believe we have the largest delegation actually are all used simply that as an example of what not to do.
Are not me I have I'm here is an example of what we need to do.
-- -- -- the rest governor Christie's remarks were.
Don't give up on your state California never quit working at it look what we were able to accomplish -- New Jersey.
So I I actually think that governor Christie's remarks to the California delegation were unbelievably uplifting.
And that's what I'm all about I'm about bringing some change to California and I think we're finally ready.
You're going right up against Dianne Feinstein -- believe that's a that is your opponent in seventy days time that's that's where it OK yet how do you feel about Chris -- got from -- just.
Calling the governor of your state.
-- is endemic governor calling governor -- state and old retread.
Well you know we have been -- bringing up the same failed policies and politicians now for.
Almost half a century Dianne -- been in office for almost half a century -- it is time -- some.
Fresh blood and some new energy and -- that's certainly a different perspective.
What are you gonna go out into this campaign and say look we're not looking for a federal bailout.
What we want -- change within California I -- -- California can you get elected.
So on on that kind of message saying look what we don't want the federal money -- I wanna bail out what I want to Obama's money can you get elected like.
That act absolutely -- you know again Governor Christie said that's exactly what happened in New Jersey.
Every once said that it was going to be a high hill to climb and the governor -- claimed it and was able to negotiate with the teachers' unions and they now our on their way back.
We need to do that in California certainly -- from the US senate there's so much I can do to help California to bring businesses back to California.
And -- historic that the Californians awake and up 73%.
Of Californians now recognize were on the wrong track and since -- last seen you know.
Dianne Feinstein has dropped three points she's pulling in the mid forties with over 20% undecided.
Californians are looking for an alternative they're looking for new leadership and I intend -- be the answer.
When you -- 73% of California's think we're on the wrong track is that California is on the wrong track called the country which is it.
I California's on the right track well okay well look I don't it's -- waking up.
