Gavin Newsom

There is so much at stake in this election and I just want to close by reminding each and every one of you. The future is on to something to experience, it's something to manifest, it's inside of us, not just in front of us.

Just today, the President of the United States threaten the state of California, 40 million Americans that happen to live here in the state of California, to defund our efforts on wildfire suppression because he said we hadn't raked enough…

So let us resolve that after this historic night, this incredible, incredible week, this remarkable convention, that we do everything in our power to get Joe Biden and Kamala Harris into the White House in January 2021.

There is so much at stake in this election, none more important than the work Joe Biden did with Barack Obama on the vehicle emissions standards, the fuel efficiency standards that will save billions and billions of dollars, taxpayers and…

This nation, I think, deserves to have a better sense to know how prevalent is this disease.

It is our behaviors that are leading to these numbers and we are putting people's lives at risk.

We are walking into the unknown, the untested, literally and figuratively. And we have to be guided by the data.

We will afford them that right with conditions and modifications that meet the health needs of the entire state.

I just want folks to know we're getting very close to making really meaningful augmentations to that stay-at-home order.

Days, Not Weeks Away From Lifting Some Stay-At-Home Restrictions

We are, you know, we said 'Weeks, not months' about four days or five days ago. I want to say 'Many days, not weeks,' as long as we continue to be prudent and thoughtful in certain modifications, we'll be making, I think, some…

I don’t anticipate that will happen. I mean, at the end of the day, I think the government will be led broadly and the President will ultimately be led by the facts on the ground, and that’s federalism, 50 parts one body.

Yes, look, I mean, as it were involved in 68 lawsuits with the Trump administration, I've been on your show, I haven't been timid. He certainly hasn't been timid. But I got to say this, it's just the fact I'd be lying to you.

Look, the worst thing we can do again is, you know, as we're getting so close to turning the page, turning the corner on this, is to get ahead of ourselves to trip over ourselves.

What appears that we've not only bent the curve, but we have stretched it. And we've stretched it out a little bit.

I think it's 40 million people practicing physical distancing 40 million people by and large staying at home that have really stepped up to meet this moment. And I think there's no greater non pharmaceutical impact to bend a curve then…

Stay the course, stay the course. I mean, the fact is, let us, let us not run as I said, the 90 yard dash.

What are you waiting for?

It's time for all of us to recognize, as individuals and as a community, we need to do more.

Seven young children have died since Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States. Not one died over eight years under President Obama's stewardship.

We're going to join many other states probably as early as next week, and I think we'll file our 58th lawsuit against the administration, and I don't say that proudly.

I mean, it's just -- it's honestly rather pathetic arguments and they fly in the face of reality. There's no objective observers that can make that case. I mean, at the end of the day, you're right, he's arguing against innovation. He's…

He's losing and we're winning. This is Donald Trump feeling the pressure, the reality is setting in, and he's feeling more and more that he needs to change course but he doesn't know how to move because he can't move off his base.

It's going to work if we don't call it out.

We have a President that's not interested in governing, doing the hard work of legislating, working to develop compromise, creating conditions to bring people together.
