about going to the French Laundry. And here's the thing. Apparently the recall effort went from 50,000 some signatures to close to 2 million and the big spike happened after the story about the governor going to the French Laundry to eat when other people he was asking to be you know. But well anyway he hit a table with no masks and lots of people had it so he got in trouble. Now here's my take o…

ple, drugs, mental health problems. Those are all big and he should be held to account for all of that stuff.

Do you know what he should not be held accountable for? Eating at a restaurant that was open. Because everybody else that day who ate at a restaurant that was open did not break any laws. Neither did he. Now he does take responsibility for sitting at a table with too many people without masks from different houses and that was just a mistake. It was a human mistake right? Because let's face it no matter how much all of us you know try to follow the rules even if you're trying you're trying to wear your mask you're trying to do everything right can you say you haven't broken any of those rules? Of course you have. A hundred percent of the public bends the rules on this coronavirus restriction stuff.

Do I care if my governor bent a little rule on this? Not even a little bit. So it looks like he might get taken out by the only thing that wasn't a big deal. All these other things are really big deals. This was the only thing that was trivial and it'll be the thing that takes him out because the news made a big thing about it and there was a picture. So whenever there's a picture it's worse and it makes it look like he's the elite because it's expensive restaurant etc. And there was a lobbyist in there. It was all that stuff. But man in terms of content it was the least important thing he did.

So there's some new news in the George Floyd trial and I swear they should just cancel this trial. I mean that literally. We have enough information now to know that this trial should not be held. And one of the new things that we've learned is that apparently George Floyd was arrested in an identical fashion, identical in some elements to the event in which he died. Including he was under the influence and including he was calling for his mother and including he said he couldn't breathe and including he was resisting arrest a little bit.

So I don't know when you see that and apparently this will be allowed. I think the judge is going to allow the evidence of his past behavior because once you see that he called for his mother before that's the end of it isn't it? Because you know just like the Governor Newsom story all of these other things were the important things but we get focused on the French Laundry thing because it's the shiny object. With the George Floyd thing the shiny object that people tend to foc

us on is that he called for his mother moments before he died. Now if you're a human being you can't hear that without feeling it right? I mean you just feel that. But the moment you learn that that's just a thing he does when he gets arrested it means a completely different thing. Now it just means it's the thing he says when he gets arrested. I don't know how this trial could have any kind of a…
