B
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody,
the
late
Supreme
Court
justice,
Oliver
Wendell
Holmes,
once
remarked
that
as
life
is
action
and
passion.
It's
required
of
all
of
us
to
share
the
action
and
passion
of
our
time
at
parallel
being
judged
not
to
have
lived.
It's
been
said
that
each
of
us
will
be
judged,
but,
moreover,
ultimately
judge
ourselves
to
the
extent
we
contribute
to
the
life
of
our
city,
our
County,
our
state,
our
nation
and
the
world.
We're
trying
to
build.
B
That's
the
spirit
of
today's
announcement,
a
spirit
that
defines
Californians
for
all
a
new
website
that
we're
launching
to
initiate
a
much
more
comprehensive
approach
to
capturing
that
spirit
of
generosity.
The
spirit
of
contribution,
the
spirit
of
service
that
resides
in
millions
and
millions
of
Californians
to
organize
this
in
a
deliberative
way.
So
people
can
share
their
action
and
passion
in
a
more
deliberative
and
ultimately,
a
more
impactful
way.
B
There
is
so
much
inside
of
us
in
terms
of
our
capacity
to
give
and
to
serve
not
just
sacrifice
in
this
moment
to
do
a
little
bit
more
to
perhaps
deliver
a
meal
do
a
little
bit
more
to
reach
out
to
late,
neighbors
or
loved
ones,
to
check
in
on
seniors
to
help
disabled
individuals
with
groceries.
Our
other
essential
needs
to
provide
hygiene
kits
not
just
to
donate
blood,
though
to
donate
blood,
to
participate
and
volunteer
at
the
Food
Bank,
which,
by
the
way,
has
lost
roughly
seventy
percent
of
its
volunteers.
B
Since
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic,
we're
trying
to
organize
this
site
in
a
way
that's
more
robust,
more
interactive
and
do
so
in
a
way
where
we
can
maintain
a
two-way
conversation
rather
than
you
initiating
your
interest
in
participating
and
volunteering.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
stay
engaged
with
you
a
regardless
of
your
time
of
life,
it's
all
about
a
state
of
mind
from
our
Zoomers
to
our
boomers,
regardless
of
your
age
or
stage
in
life.
B
We
want
you
to
volunteer,
we
want
you
to
participate
and
we
want
to
match
those
efforts
in
a
way
that
gives
meaning
and
purpose
to
this
endeavor
I
love
to
say
this,
because
it's
always
true,
the
happiest
people
I
know
are
the
people
that
volunteer
and
I've
long
believed
that
no
one
stands
taller
than
when
he
or
she
bends
down
on
one
knee
to
help
lift
other
people
up.
So
this
is
a
spirit
of
communitarianism,
individuals
contributing
to
their
community.
It's
the
spirit
of
recognition
that
we're
all
in
this
together.
B
But
as
we
walked
into
this
together,
we
want
to
begin
to
walk
out
of
this
together
as
well
meeting
this
moment.
With
that
same
spirit,
that
generosity
of
spirit-
and
we
have
just
the
right
person
to
lead
that
endeavor,
our
chief
service
officer
in
the
state
of
California
former
lieutenant
in
the
Navy
former
councilmember
and
mayor
and
someone
I've
gotten
to
know
and
admire
the
course
of
many
many
years.
Who
leads
our
volunteer
efforts
in
the
state
of
California
and
will
lead
this
new
initiative.

B
C
Thank
You
governor,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
commitment
to
service.
Thank
you
to
your
wife,
the
first
partner
Jen
Siebel
Newsome
and
the
chair
of
our
Commission
California
volunteers
for
being
a
champion
of
creating
a
culture
of
me
too.
We
here
in
California
and
thank
you
to
the
incredible
team
at
California
volunteers
who
has
worked
so
hard
to
protect
our
communities
and
inspire
all
of
us
and
to
all
the
volunteers
who
have
made
a
difference
throughout
the
last
several
weeks.
Thank
you
for
what
you've
done.
C
I'm
here
today
excited
as
chief
service
officer
for
the
state
of
California
to
launch
a
new
initiative
Californians
for
all
where
we
are
asking
all
Californians
who
are
healthy,
to
stand
up
to
step
up
and
to
help
connect
and
make
a
difference
in
your
community.
Here's
how
it's
going
to
work!
We
want
every
Californian
that
can
and
is
healthy
and
able
to
visit
Californians
for
all
ca.gov,
and
when
you
go
to
this
site,
we've
made
it
very
easy
for
you
to
make
a
difference
in
your
community.
C
We
want
you
to
sign
up
and
tell
us
when
you
sign
up
what
interests
you,
what
issues
do
you
want
to
work
on
in
your
community?
Where
would
you
like
to
make
a
difference,
and
once
you
sign
up,
we
are
going
to
be
communicating
with
you
regularly
weekly
emails
to
make
sure
that
you're
connected
to
not
just
state
priorities
but
to
local
priorities
and
opportunities.
You
could
sign
up
for
food
banks
for
delivering
meals
for
tutoring,
for
helping
at
shelter
facilities
and
many
other
activities.
C
We
will
also
be
sharing
other
content
that
you
can
use
to
make
a
difference,
no
matter
where
you
are
and
where
you
want
to
connect.
We
are
also
asking
everyone
to.
Please
follow
the
guidance
that
has
been
given
to
us
by
the
Department
of
Public
Health,
and
we
provide
this
on
this
website
website
Californians
for
all
ca.gov,
so
that
you
can
volunteer
safely
and
make
a
difference
safely
in
your
community.
We
are
working
with
a
new
statewide
coalition
of
nonprofits
I.
C
Think
incredible
groups
like
the
Red
Cross,
the
United
Way's,
the
California
food
banks,
Association
volunteer
centers
around
the
state
to
connect
you
after
you
sign
up
at
Californians
for
all
that
CA
gov
to
local
opportunities.
So
please
go
to
our
website
and
join
us
today
if
you're
healthy,
and
you
can
make
a
difference
in
your
community,
we
need
you
at
food
banks.
We
need
you
giving
blood,
we
need
your
delivering
meals
and
we
need
you
joining
us.
C
If
you
want
to
stay
at
home
to
be
safe,
you
can
still
make
an
enormous
difference
in
our
state
and
communities
everywhere
by
signing
up
to
be
a
two
on
one
operator
or
signing
up
to
help
with
AITC
outreach
or
checking
on
a
neighbor
we're
going
to
be
challenging
young
people
throughout
the
state
to
check
on
neighbors
and
check
on
a
loved
one
and
share
a
video
online
to
challenge
your
fellow
peers.
To
do
the
same.
C
B
Thank
You,
Josh
and,
and
it's
wonderful
to
have
a
chief
service
officer
in
a
state
of
California
and
again
that's
the
spirit
of
building
a
framework,
the
architecture
for
civic
infrastructure
that
ultimately
again
will
outlast
this
moment
and
allow
us
to
rebuild
our
economy.
At
the
same
time,
we
rebuild
the
spirit
of
California
that
defines
I
think
the
best
in
us.
So
this
is
a
real
opportunity
for
those
that
may
have
not
necessarily
been
ready
to
jump
in
yet
and
volunteer.
Just
didn't
necessarily
know
how
this
is
a
dynamic
website.
B
It
allows
you
to
connect
with
your
prescriptive
passions
and
connect
them
to
specific
needs
in
your
community.
It's
a
bottom-up
framework,
not
top-down,
so
we
want
to
meet
you
where
you
are
and
help
you
meet
others.
So,
ultimately,
we
can
create
the
kind
of
dynamic
sense
of
commonality
that
ultimately
will
get
us
through
this
moment.
So
thank
you,
Josh.
Thank
you
to
steam
and
thank
you
all
Californians
that
are
willing
to
participate
their
time
and
energy
at
this
moment.
B
Let
me
speak
in
terms
of
what
moment
we
are
in
as
it
relates
to
the
current
pandemic,
as
we
do.
Every
day
update
you
on
a
number
of
issues
related
to
the
pandemic,
not
least
of
which
the
number
of
new
positives
number
of
deaths,
ICU
numbers
and
hospitalizations.
We
saw
a
seven
point:
four
percent
increase
in
the
total
number
of
positive
cases.
B
Yesterday
in
the
state
of
California,
we
saw
a
five
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
deaths,
60
human-beings
again,
not
statistics,
not
just
a
number
lives
torn
apart,
torn
asunder
because
of
this
virus,
but
five
percent
increase
the
total
number
of
deaths
in
the
state
of
California.
While
we've
been
experiencing
some
pretty
good
news
as
it
relates
to
the
total
number
of
people
and
I
see
use.
Yesterday's
number
went
up
slightly
3.8
percent
as
you've
seen
that
numbers
been
bouncing
around
1/2
percent.
B
We
declined
a
few
days
here
and
there
it's
certainly
stabilizing,
but
yesterday
we
saw
an
increase
of
3.8
percent.
Accordingly,
we
saw
a
3.3
percent
increase
in
the
total
number
of
hospitalizations
in
the
state
of
California
and
by
the
way
those
hospitalizations
are
borne
all
throughout
the
state
of
California.
When
you
look
at
the
16
counties,
most
impacted
through
those
hospitalization
rates,
they're,
not
just
a
Los
Angeles
County
and
Santa
Clara
County,
they
include
Fresno
County,
they
include
Kern,
they
include
San
Joaquin,
San,
Bernardino
County.
They
include
Orange
and
Riverside
San
Diego.
B
B
Not
some
of
these
other
counties
in
the
state
of
California,
I,
hope,
you'll,
disabuse
yourself
of
that
and
you'll
consider
the
fact
that
some
of
the
the
most
challenging
parts
of
the
state
remain
in
some
of
our
rural
parts
of
our
state,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
skilled
nursing
facilities,
adult
and
senior
homes,
which
we
continue
to
track.
I
should
note
that
we
have,
in
our
portfolio,
I
laid
out
on
April
10th
our
new
strategies
and
plans
to
protect
our
seniors
and
redoubling
our
efforts.
B
Remember
the
one
of
the
first
executive
orders
we
put
out
in
this
state
was
around
guidelines
in
our
skilled
nursing
facilities,
assisted
living
homes,
nursing
homes.
Broadly,
we
followed
up
with
that
on
April
10th
by
talking
about
an
army
of
people
that
we
had
retrained,
600
nurses,
these
new
strike
teams
and
fexif
disease
teams
that
we
were
sending
out
across
the
state
of
California.
We
talked
about
the
daily
calls
were
making
to
all
of
these
institutions
every
single
day,
calling
all
1224
of
our
skilled
nursing
facilities.
B
How
we're
working
with
temporary
staffing
agencies
to
address
staffing
needs,
building
partnerships
with
CDC,
not
only
our
own
health
and
human
service
agencies.
We
talked
about
partnerships
with
the
USNS
mercy
and
how
some
of
the
personnel
off
the
mercy
are
coming
in
to
the
state
to
help
support
our
seniors
and
then
Newt
decompression
strategies
to
get
those
that
have
tested
positive
or
been
exposed
to
Kovan
19
to
get
them
into
new
facilities.
B
B
Eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty-five
licensed
facilities
that
we
are
monitoring
in
the
state
of
California
and
over
three
hundred
thousand
patient
capacity
that
doesn't
even
include
the
staff,
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
breadth
and
depth
of
the
responsibilities
in
that
space
and
I
only
bring
this
up
again,
as
we
do
every
other
day,
because
it
remains
one
of
our
top
priorities,
the
most
vulnerable
population.
Being
our
seniors.
We
talked
a
lot
about
some
of
the
progress.
We're
making
with
project
wound
key,
addressing
the
needs
of
our
homeless
across
the
state
of
California.
B
But
again
we
are
not
out
of
the
woods
yet
and
in
these
senior
facilities,
these
assisted
living
facilities.
We
are
still
seeing
spikes
we're
still
seeing
people
tragically
lose
their
lives,
we're
still
seeing
concentration
positives,
not
only
impacting
patients,
but
also
impacting
staff.
I
should
note
we
were
blessed
to
have
the
support
of
25
million
dollars
of
philanthropy
for
stipends
to
soften
the
stress
a
little
bit
for
our
caregivers
at
these
facilities.
Over
44,000
people
now
have
signed
up
to
get
$500,
stipends
and
I
just
want
to
get
extend
my
appreciation
to
those
in
philanthropy.
B
In
this
case,
Priscilla
Chan
and
Mark
Zuckerberg
for
their
contributions,
specifically
in
this
space,
but
it's
one
example
of
what
we're
doing
to
take
care
of
the
caregivers,
including
providing
these
hotel
reservations,
which
we
announced
about
a
week
or
so
ago.
Over.
Twenty-Six
hundred
and
thirty-four
reservations
have
been
made
to
provide
no-cost
hotel
rooms
to
allow
these
caregivers.
B
It's
a
way
of
just
expressing
appreciation
and
deep
admiration
and
respect
for
those
caregivers
throughout
our
senior
system,
and
also
let
you
know
that
we're
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
make
this
our
top
priority
and
top
focus
as
well,
and
it's
again
a
reminder
to
continue
to
practice
physical
distancing
and
to
maintain
the
directives
that
have
allowed
us
to
flatten
this
curve.
But
now
we
need
to
see
those
numbers
go
down
again
previewed
a
moment
ago
in
will
do
so
right
now
that
is
tomorrow.
B
We
will
lay
out
our
update,
as
we
have
promised
on
a
weekly
basis
in
those
six
key
areas
as
part
of
our
roadmap
to
recovery.
We
have
teams
that
we've
assembled
in
each
area
and
we'll
do
a
deep
dive
in
one
of
those
areas
on
testing
tracking
tracing
isolation
and
Quarantine
tomorrow,
and
then
we'll
highlight
those
other
five
areas.
This
will
go
to
the
obvious
questions
and
queries
that
all
of
us
are
asking
when,
when
do
we
see
these
stay
at
home,
orders
augmented?
B
When
do
you
see
a
little
bit
of
a
release
in
the
valve
so
that
we
can
let
out
some
littlest
pressure
that
we
I
know
are
all
feeling
around
the
stay
at
home
order
and
the
like?
That's
manifested
by
protests,
but
also
query
appropriate
queries
that,
like
Ventura
County
asking
what
can
we
do
to
begin
to
collaborate
with
you
on
making
some
adjustments?
What
can
we
do
in
San
Luis
Obispo
to
do
the
same
Placerville
to
do
the
same?
B
B
So
we
can
go
far
as
a
state
and
so
I.
Thank
you,
as
always,
for
that
spirit
of
generosity
and
attention,
and
we
hope
people
will
come
quickly
to
that
website,
fill
out
their
particular
areas
of
interest
and
we'll
make
sure
we
match
those
areas
of
interest
to
need
in
real
time
and
again
keep
in
touch.
So
we
can
continue
to
build
this
army
of
volunteers
and
build
capacity
so
that
we
can
get
into
this
next
phase
sooner
than
we
otherwise
would
so
with
that.
Of
course,
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
Julis
County
has
an
estimated
60,000
homeless,
but
so
far
only
about
47
have
tested
positive
for
the
virus.
You
know
San
Francisco,
more
than
90
residents
of
a
single
shelter
tested
positive.
There
I
think
that's
about
one
of
the
few
shelters.
Well,
where
widespread
testing
has
been
done
so
more
than
a
month
into
the
crisis.
Does
the
state
have
a
good
handle
of
how
widespread
the
infection
is
among
this
vulnerable
population?
And
since
this
is
a
priority
population?
Should
more
text
be
available
for
this?
Yes,.
B
B
Also,
we'll
talk
more
specifically
about
different
types
of
tests
via
the
cero
surveillance,
we'll
be
talking
about
issues
around
serology
and
blood
based
tests,
as
well
as
the
traditional
PCR
tests,
both
point
of
care,
as
well
as
just
higher
throughput
tests
and
efforts
to
address
those
disparities,
those
that
you
speak
of
and
those
that
others
speak
of
and
to
on
an
almost
hourly
basis.
We
want
to
do
more
in
that
space.
You
are
correct.
We
need
to
do
more
testing.
None
of
us
have
walked
away
from
that
recognition.
B
In
fact,
we
walked
right
in
to
it
by
creating
a
task
force
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
when
that
task
force
was
created
on
testing,
we
were
averaging
2,000
tests
a
day
today
were
averaging
over
14,500
tests
a
day
that
task
force
put
a
marker
out
there.
They
said
by
April
14th.
They
wanted
to
average
10,000
tests
a
day,
they've
exceeded
that
they
put
a
second
marker
out,
and
that
was
to
get
to
25,000
tests
a
day
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
I
hope
and
expect
they
will
exceed
that
still.
B
That
number
is
still
inadequate
to
ultimately
get
to
where
we
need
to
go
the
question
many
of
you
may
be
asking
what
is
that
number,
and
that
number
is
very
dynamic
and,
depending
on
who
you
talk
to
people
will
suggest
we
need
to
be
doing
a
minimum
of
1%
of
our
population
every
week.
Others
say
it
needs
to
be
every
day
some
people
say
we
are
asking
the
wrong
question:
testing
is
not
one-off.
B
I,
can
go
across
the
panoply
of
our
prioritization,
but
always
active
and
prioritized
support
for
those
with
symptoms,
those
that
are
most
likely
to
be
hospitalized
with
compromised
immune
systems,
seniors
that
are
most
at
risk
and,
of
course,
all
our
frontline
caregivers,
particularly
a
hospital
staff
and
nurses.
So
the
totality
of
the
need
is
great.
The
spirit
of
your
question
is
spot-on,
you're,
absolutely
right.
B
A
week
I
have
scheduled
calls
with
a
speaker
in
Pro
Tem,
including
having
had
those
meetings
again
today
by
last
count.
This
morning,
I
have
talked
to
63
legislators
as
120.
Personally,
in
the
last
four
days,
we've
been
having
caucus
zoom
conferences,
we've
been
having
one-on-one
conversations,
I've
been
back
and
forth
with
not
only
the
leaders
but
many
other
members
of
the
legislature.
B
We
have
our
teams
assembled
on
a
consistent
basis,
making
themselves
available
in
real
time
to
caucus
conference
calls,
and
we
continue
to
do
everything
in
our
power
with
Anthony
Williams
in
our
legislative
teams
to
meet
the
needs
and
desires
of
the
ledge.
I
have
deep
respect
and
deep
understanding
of
the
anxiety.
Many
of
the
legislators,
many
members
of
legislature
feel
particularly
not
being
back
in
session
as
they
traditionally
are,
and
I
get.
B
They
get
overwhelmed
with
questions
on
a
daily
basis
and
they
need
answers
and
we're
trying
to
do
everything
in
our
power
to
be
responsive
and
to
the
extent
we
can
even
be
more
responsive.
We're
committed
to
doing
that.
Good
enough.
Never
is
and
I
recognize
my
need
to
be
available
to
40
million
Americans,
including
120
legislators.
The
legislators
is
a
second
of
three
branches,
that
is
a
co-equal
branch
and
I
recognize
my
unique
responsibilities
to
them,
but
also
to
you,
members
of
the
press.
B
With
these
daily
press
conferences
and
the
totality
of
outreach
we
do
on
a
daily
basis
to
make
sure
we
are
truly
connecting
with
Californians
of
every
conceivable
stripe.
So
it's
it's
all
inclusive
all
hand
approach,
and
it
certainly
can
improve,
and
they
certainly
made
a
few
of
them,
but
not
all
made
those
points.
Yesterday.
F
Thank
you
so
much
governor
for
taking
my
call
you'd
mention
the
inquiries
you're
receiving
from
some
counties
and
local
governments.
Some
of
them
have
actually
already
taken
action.
Riverside
County,
for
example,
opened
up
its
golf
courses.
Today,
Port
Hueneme
has
opened
up
its
Beach.
Can
you
clarify
the
process
for
how
this
is
happening?
Do
those
counties
and
local
governments
need
the
state's
permission?
First?
Do
they
consult
with
you
first?
How
was
this
happening
well.
B
They
they
have
the
ability
to
make
those
decisions
as
long
as
they
don't
contravene
or
conflict
with
the
state
guidance.
If
they
do,
they
don't
have
the
authority
to
do
that
as
it
relates
to
conversations
we've
had
with
many
local
elected
officials.
Yesterday,
we
talked
at
length
about
the
conversations
over
the
weekend
in
Ventura
County,
as
a
specific
proof
point
of
that
we
are
engaged
there,
Public
Health
Department
and
those
local
health
directors
sheriff's
in
some
of
those
counties
as
well.
We
are
trying
to
organize
this
in
a
more
deliberative
manner.
B
Again,
the
magnitude
of
this
state,
480
plus
cities,
again
50
counties
in
the
need
and
desire
for
local
officials
to
be
responsive
to
the
anxieties
of
their
constituents,
obviously
requires
us
to
further
that
dialogue
and
to
organize
it
in
a
deliberative
way.
It
is
exactly
what
the
purpose
of
tomorrow's
update
is
all
about.
It
was
the
purpose
of
last
week's
announcement
around
our
roadmap
to
reopening
remember.
Just
last
week
we
put
out
that
roadmap,
perhaps
the
first
state
to
do
so
in
a
comprehensive
way.
B
We
committed
to
you
and
others
that
we
will
update
you
minimum
on
a
weekly
basis
in
detail
in
terms
of
the
status
of
those
six
key
factors
that
ultimately
make
the
determination
of
the
time
manner
place
of
those
reopening
x'
and,
as
I
said,
we
are
in
contact,
but
I.
Imagine
there'll
be
some
examples
of
people
just
getting
ahead
of
that
collaborative
spirit,
and
we
may
have
to
dial
a
little
bit
about
of
that
back.
B
But
again,
it's
in
the
spirit
of
understanding,
spirit
of
recognition
that
there's
a
lot
of
anxiety
and
a
lot
of
need
to
know
and
we're
trying
to
provide
that
with
clarity.
But
I'll
remind
you
what
you
don't
need
to
know
because
I
just
made
it
clear
des
went
up
5%
yesterday
hospitalizations
went
up
3.3%
yesterday,
I
see
you
numbers
went
up,
3.8
percent.
Yesterday,
total
number
of
positives
went
up
7.4%.
B
G
Governor,
thank
you
very
much
for
taking
our
calls
truly
appreciate
it.
Just
circling
back
a
little
bit
on
the
legislature,
the
Assembly
of
public
or
a
assembly
Subcommittee
on
the
budget
met
yesterday,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
about
the
money
and
as
I
understand
it.
The
money
that's
been
spent.
The
two
billion
dollars
so
far
is
what
they
were
talking
about
and
you're
looking
for
five
billion
more
or
you
anticipate
the
possibility
they
really
grilled
Teresa
comfort.
G
Yesterday,
you
got
to
give
her
a
lot
of
credit
for
how
she
took
all
of
that.
But
my
question
is:
is
it's
coming
from
the
reserve
fund?
The
19
billion
dollar
reserve
fund
is
this
coming
from
another
place
where
where's
this
money
coming
from
I?
Think
that
was
some
of
the
confusion
yesterday
and
you're
right.
Lawmakers
are
getting
a
lot
of
questions,
they
tell
us.
So
what
is
your
response
to
them
about
where
the
money
is
coming
from,
where
it's
going?
G
B
So
every
dollar
that
we
spend
we're
accountable
for
and
we're
very
grateful
for
their
oversight
and
their
collaborative
capacity
to
guide
us
through
that
process.
As
you
know,
the
legislature,
to
their
credit,
afforded
this
administration
1
billion
dollars
of
emergency
aid
from
the
state's
general
fund,
that
included
100-plus
million
dollars
to
provide
for
support
for
distance
learning
and
for
PPE
and
deep-cleaning
in
our
public
education
system
that
1
billion
dollars
we've
distributed
in
a
very
transparent
way,
I
make
the
announcements
to
you
and
to
others.
B
At
these
daily
news
conferences,
we
talked
about
the
work
we've
done
on
child
care.
Fifty
million
dollars
work.
We
did
on
foster
care.
Forty
two
million
dollars
the
work
we
did
on
workforce
development.
Seventeen
point
eight
million
dollars.
We
laid
that
out.
I
can
continue
to
walk
down
that
path
in
very
specific
terms,
and
we
provided
that
information
to
the
legislature.
B
What
you're
referring
referring
to
is
the
totality
of
ask
that
we
anticipate,
above
and
beyond
the
vast
majority,
that
75%
will
be
reimbursed
by
the
federal
government
because
of
the
authority
and
relationships
we
have
developed
with
FEMA
and
that
reimbursement
will
ease
I.
Think
a
lot
of
distress,
however,
it
all
requires
oversight
and
it
requires
the
appropriate
dialectic
of
the
engagement
that
you
saw
over
a
five-hour
period
yesterday
at
a
hearing.
That's
what
legislators
are
for,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
engage
in
that
spirit.
H
Hi
governor,
thank
you
for
taking
my
question
I'm
wondering
about
the
collaboration
with
the
federal
government
right
now,
as
Congress
works
on
another
round
of
stimulus,
and
one
of
the
sticking
points
was
States
and
local
municipalities
getting
more
money.
Do
you
have
the
speaker's
ear,
and
even
when
you
talk
to
the
president,
are
you
able
to
really
laid
out
what
California
needs
considering
we
are
the
third
largest
economy,
yeah.
B
It's
a
wonderful
question:
not
not
only
do
we
have
the
speakers
here.
She's
we've
been
in
constant
contact
with
the
speaker's
office
for
now
months,
since
this
pandemic
first
became
very
real
to
us
in
late
January,
with
those
Reap
creation
flights
from
mainland
China.
That
collaboration
was
strengthened
in
the
speaker's
office
beginning
then,
as
it
relates
to
this
disease.
B
In
particular,
we
worked
with
a
speaker
I
put
out
a
letter
specifically
requesting
resources
not
only
for
the
state
of
California,
but
putting
the
magnitude
of
what
I
believe
is
going
to
be
the
needs
for
this
nation,
as
it
relates
to
governor's
and
city
administrators
and
city
managers
and
city
leaders.
That
was
a
trillion
dollar
request
and
I
actually
believe
that
may
be
modest
in
terms
of
the
totality
of
this
challenge.
B
I
appreciative
that
Senator
Menendez
has
got
a
bill
bipartisan
bill
with
Senator
Cassidy
for
a
half
a
billion
trillion
dollars,
rather
for
five
hundred
billion
dollars
in
that
space.
That's
real
progress,
it's
just
a
bill
that
they're
promoting,
but
the
work
where
the
speaker
is
more
prescriptive.
In
this
respect,
in
it
I
think,
goes
the
spirit
of
your
question.
The
cares
act,
the
2.2
trillion
dollars
that
came
down
in
the
state
of
California.
B
We
were,
the
beneficiaries,
are
about
fifteen
point
three
fifteen
point:
four
billion
dollars
as
a
state;
six
point:
nine
billion
of
that
to
the
largest
cities
in
the
state,
but
just
six
cities
with
population
north
of
half
a
million
I,
don't
know
what
the
number
is,
but
I
can't
imagine.
There's
more
than
40
cities
around
the
country
with
a
population
north
of
500,000,
so
I
think
people
all
across
this
country
were
hopeful,
particularly
those
smaller
municipalities,
that
the
next
round
of
stimulus
will
consider
those
smaller
jurisdictions
in
California.
B
Just
to
put
that
in
perspective,
only
17
of
our
58
counties
were
able
to
get
the
benefit
of
that
local
support,
not
just
our
city,
so
six
cities,
17
counties,
so
we're
hoping
to
bring
that
down
from
500,000
to
50,000
and
that's
specifically
kinds
of
conversations
I'm
bringing
in
to
our
private
conversations
with
the
speaker's
office
and
other
people.
The
good
news
is
I
think
this
is
broadly
shared
across
the
spectrum.
B
The
challenge,
of
course,
is
the
more
money
you
put
for
cities,
the
less
for
states,
and
we
don't
want
to
be
in
this
awkward
dance
of
fighting
for
limited
resources
and
that's
why
we
put
out
what
we
believe
is
necessary
over
looking
out
over
the
next
few
years,
at
the
unemployment
rates
and
looking
at
the
trajectory
of
where
we
think
things
will
go.
We
put
out
that
marker
of
a
trillion
dollars.
So
that's
the
answer.
Question
yes,
couldn't
be
more
blessed
by
speaker.
B
I
Numbers
the
California
Nurses
Association
reports
that
there
have
been
hospitals
who
are
holding
on
to
their
PPE
and
not
giving
it
to
nurses
and
medical
staff
to
actually
use
because
they're
preparing
for
possible
surge,
but
in
the
meantime
the
nurses
are
not
properly
protected.
Have
you
heard
about
that?
What's
your
response
and
then
how
do
you
ensure
that
the
PPE
actually
is
getting
to
the
people,
not
just
the
hospital,
but
the
people
who
need
it?
Yeah.
B
I
had
another
one
of
those
zoom
conference
calls
and
heard
that
directly
from
leadership.
The
California
Nurses
Association
I
quite
literally
said
the
following:
give
me
the
CEOs
cell
phone
and
I'll
call,
because
that
is
an
outrage.
Our
nurses
must
be
prioritized.
Their
health
is
more
important
than
the
health
of
people.
Like
me,
they
must
be
prioritized
the
reason.
I
won't
wear
an
n95
masks
until
every
nurse
in
the
state
of
California
has
an
n95
mask.
Has
a
procedural
mask
has
appropriate
gowns
coveralls
shields?
B
B
It
is
the
spirit
of
why
we
went
out
to
get
this
large
contra,
which
you
and
others
have
written
and
discussed
a
lot
about,
including
the
legislature,
and
we
are
very
hopeful
in
the
next
few
weeks
that
we're
going
to
see
millions
and
millions
of
additional
PPE
masks
new
units
of
PPE
into
the
state
of
California
and
we're
gonna
get
those
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
numbers
we
gave
the
legislature
on
Sunday
that
were
socialized
yesterday
on
Monday
or
forty
two
point:
eight
million
and
95
math,
some
3.3
million
procedural
masks.
B
We
actually
gave
them
the
information
by
county,
so
they
can
see
where
they
are
going
within
the
counties,
but
we
have
very
prescriptive
protocols
and
we
are
really
running
hurt
herd
over
those
protocols
of
how
we
distribute
these
down
to
the
hospital
systems
and
then
what
happens
within
the
hospital
system
is
where
we're
trying
to
get
under
the
hood.
So
we
don't
hear
stories
like
that
anymore.
J
But
you
would
accept
help
from
the
federal
government
so
ramp
up
the
testing,
as
you
have
called
for
and
we'll
be
looking
for
details
on
that
tomorrow,
but
I
just
wanted
to
find
out
from
you
today.
What
specifically
do
you
need
help
from
the
federal
government
with
what
supplies?
What
testing
procedures
do
you
need
help
with
and
what
team
can't
California
handle
on
its
own
yeah.
B
Well,
we
did
a
survey
and
we'll
I'm
gonna
get
a
little
head
of
my
skis.
My
staff,
that's
in
front
of
me
behind
this
camera
is
probably
not
going
to
be
pleased,
but
we
did
a
very
detailed
survey
of
all
of
our
testing
providers
and
I'll
do
justice
to
their
concerns
as
they're
moving
closer
to
me.
Forgive
me
for
bringing
you
into
this
room
tomorrow.
I'll
give
you
the
results
of
that
survey.
B
That
will
answer
the
question,
but
let
me
just
for
the
purposes
of
generosity,
of
your
question
and
my
responsibility
to
be
transparent
to
you.
It
will
not
surprise
you
swabs
and
transport
media
remain
the
dominant
need,
but
it's
not
exclusive
to
swabs
and
transport
media.
It
also
goes
back
to
the
old
reagents,
the
RNA
extraction
kits
those
remain
issues.
We've
been
very
directive
directed
rather
pointed
in
our
private
conversations
with
the
administration.
B
They
know
this
and
continue
as
I
said
yesterday,
that,
yes
to
the
federal
government,
we
need
more
of
those
supplies,
but
we're
not
just
gonna
sit
on
our
hand.
In
the
