Germany, 21%.

California, 18% of the world's R&D.

We're the center of the universe as it relates to AI.

I mean, California is wonderful, but what about the governance?

Well, the governance, we're one of the lowest uninsured rates in America.

You mentioned health care.

We just did our state of education report, which showed in every category, every classroom, making progress with our test scores.

Our investments are paying off.

I don't know, higher life expenses, lower infant mortality, lower gun death rates, more productivity, higher wages, higher quality of life.

$83.1 billion, that was the net contribution that we provided to the federal government versus red state like Texas that was a taker state of $73.1 billion.

So we're producing more and people are, I think, creating more opportunities.

So look, are there

I absolutely accept that...

we all should be held to a higher level of accountability in terms of our governance.

And I think there's many areas of reforms that are necessary, so many areas of reforms that were underway.

We can get into the specifics of any one of these issues, but the general notion that in the middle of winter, with 100 mile an hour winds, we're attached to a fire that somehow, by the way, there were 16 major fires in Southern California over a two week period that somehow that had to do with fire hydrants.

is rather preposterous, and it was shapeshift because of the complete bullshit that came from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, saying somehow the sprinklers didn't work and the fire hydrants didn't work because we didn't turn on a valve in Northern California.

These are literal...

from the Trump administration.

So I do reject that.
