[laughs] Well, Governor Newsom actually went to the attorney general in California and forced him to accept the deal because, uh, Skydance was threatening to move, uh, the entire company out of California and had made advances to other states to move there, and that would've been thousands of jobs lost.

I- it still could happen.

They could still be moving because the tax components in California are obscene.

Anything coming from Governor Newsom, Californians have to look back and think, "This is the worst governor in the history of our state.

He's done more harm to California than any elected official in the history of California."

Makes Jerry Brown look good.

He, he...

You know, Jerry Brown, uh, like him or love him, at least came at it from the heart.

You know, he wasn't so Machiavellian.

I think he was misguided on certain things, but that's a difference in philosophy be- on how you do business between him and me.

I happen to like him personally.

He's a nice guy.

I'd see him on occasion and we'd chat, you know.

I didn't agree with his politics, but that's how you get at issues, and that's why they call it politics.

I could come at it a different way.

This guy is a put your finger to the wind and let's do everything we can possibly to appease who? Left-wing, far out, radical components that think they should run the state.

A one-party system is so unhealthy for a state, especially California.

Look what it's done to that great, wonderful state.

I saw the other day where Fisherman's Wharf is kind of boarded up now.

Have you seen that?

Uh, no.

I, I-

Yeah.

I mean, look-

I was at Pier 39.
