12:36 pm
last winter like you brought up and you look at a state like colorado. that is seeing a huge surge. how concerned are you about this winter? this thing can go fast, and that's why we have to deal with waning immunity. get the boosters get those that have not gotten that first dose that's still the most powerful dose that first dose of vaccine. to get that vaccine and continue to be vigilant. so we get through this winter if we can get through this winter. i think we're going to be in a completely different place. i feel much more optimistic than i ever have throughout this pandemic at this pop up vaccine clinic in the mission, several children got their covid shots, newsom said. partnerships with communities, particularly communities of color are key in getting more young people inoculated. there's no substitute for getting in the schools. getting a school nurse to express that message, not politicians. no substitute for getting your own doctor. your pediatrician that's taking care of your kids to express that and share that message. last week, the governor extended parts of his emergency powers through march, citing covid threats. the order that began in march 2020
12:37 pm
sparked criticism. and some of your critics, as you well know, have said. it dismantles. our separation of powers would be your response to that. and are there metrics for ending that state of emergency? we, by the way, we have states emergency that open for about a decade. very familiar campfire, the state of emergency after emergency state emergencies exists and persists for years and years and years and years. as it relates to what i just extended. it was very limited, very targeted to staffing, flexibility, contract staffing and waivers for staffing for hospitals, in particular, and for allowing more mobile vaccine clinics just like you just saw. to not do that and to put at risk federal funding. would be to me malpractice. the governor's visit comes after a rash of bay area crime, including deadly freeway shootings in a series of smash and grab retail thefts. he called the burglaries unacceptable and said the state's retail task forces working with local law enforcement in addition to increasing chp presence in the
12:38 pm
area. what do you tell people that say, i. i feel unsafe. everybody's going to step things up. we need to see more law enforcement seem more deterrence presence. we're going to see more you've seen more, but we're going to see even more chp officers out on the roads. we didn't wait. till today to do that. we did that saturday and sunday. you're seeing it on 6 80. you're seeing it on s r four. you're going to see it in and around large shopping malls and centers and we're going to continue to work collaboratively to address these organized efforts and call them out, and they need to be held to account. this is unconscionable behavior because its impact is well beyond just the victim. the business where all victimized because there's a level of distrust. lack of confidence in public safety. that is inherent in what's happening, and that's why that needs to. we need to be more aggressive as the state continues its economic recovery, the legislative analyst's office predicts. a $31 billion surplus for the 2022 budget. newsom told
12:39 pm
me to expect investments to address quality of life issues with the caveat of holding city leaders accountable to delivering. we've been writing hundreds of millions of dollars in checks across the spectrum of issues homelessness. issues around housing. billions of dollars. we need to see accountability in terms of the application of those dollars and we need to see results and the issues of quality of life are real in this state, as many californians prepare to travel for the thanksgiving holiday. i asked the governor what he's thankful for. well, i'm thankful to 40 million californians strong, their resilience, their faith and devotion, the fact that they haven't given up on themselves or each other. governor newsom is among those traveling for thanksgiving. shortly after our interview, his office announced he will be in mexico with his family for the next week. greg lee ktvu, fox two news. it's the third day on the witness stand for theranos founder elizabeth holmes in her federal fraud trial in san jose. so far, she's testified about her contract contact with big pharmaceutical companies back in 2000 and eight and 2000 and nine
