“They're performance artists, some of these people,” Newsom snapped. “All you have to do is watch Fox and then just decide to plug in. I mean, it's about the easiest thing I've seen in politics. It's just, ‘What's the ticker on Fox primetime?’”
. It’s rather absurd. And that's why I respectfully submit that so much of this is pure performance. ”
Yahoo News caught up with Newsom Wednesday after a COVID event in Paramount, Calif. to discuss his differences with DeSantis, his feelings about the “bashing” of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert; his plan to combat Omicron; his ambitions for 2022 — and whether he has any interest in the White House himself.Yahoo News: Let's talk about Omicron.

Over 90 percent of all the schools expanded their summer options. You had red states, predominantly, that were preaching the importance of keeping schools open but had more school closures because of outbreaks. Because they didn't follow the science and the math.
Tell me more about that. What’s going to change in California when we reach so-called endemicity — when the emergency phase of the U.S. pandemic is over? Yes. It’s just — we're as dumb as we wanna be. I don't even wanna say “comprehensive immigration reform” 'cause I wanna slap myself. And I wanna slap everyone out of their — not physically harm, but slap them out of their stupidity. Sixty-eight percent of people here in California without documentation have been here over a decade. They’ve contributed $2.5 billion in taxes to the state. Ten percent of our workforce.
