Well, yes, recall the initiative the referendum but recall is rarely used, except in the last decade or so big money has been able to put recall successfully before the people. Now this one is going to go down to defeat, because for a very simple reason it has no rationale. And the people wanting to succeed Governor Newsom are ridiculous. I mean, they, their values, their proposals are so far from California, they belong in a foreign country or something.
