Doug LaMalfa Delivers Epic Rant Against Gavin Newsom On The House Floor 

California is Broke...If had any dignity He'd remove him self....he has to go

🥴Me too! ... I'm not but when I share my opinion to people about California, most of them are delusional and say that I'm being negative! 🤣 and no I'm being real!! California looks very third world and Gothic! So I'm glad that finally some politicians can actually point out things and I can just share the video! 😂💯💯

I was born in 1996 and I remember when you can buy a happy meal without worrying about budget. Now nothing is worth a Dollar anymore. No more 50 cents chips.

Ao so I 'I wish People would wake up...The tyrant jas killed California..needs to go

He doesn’t put enough hair gel in his hair for the California voters to vote for him.

He’d be assassinated! Then the Dems would cancel and ruin his families lives.

​@@CCCC-cb2tyhaha true!

Sadly California will never elect a Republican in a Statewide Office for a long time

More than half of California need to split from the cost

He lost that recall and 2nd election and we all know it

We have been telling you guys that the current Democratic Party is all socialists/communists pushing a collectivists agenda….. we need to get Biden OUT

We call him "Gavin Gruesome."

How do i search for this information? Which words should i use? I tried cap on ev charging. Ive never had this problem. So im trying to see what you guys see.

Sue him for attempted murder !.

I wish you folks in the bay area would wake up to this absurd government we have here in California.

Hes a farmer from Norcal, he's awesome

Yes, Doug LaMalfa is Fantastic!

I was raised in Fremont/Newark, Now I live in Modoc County. He is a US Assemblyman that actually meets with his constituants up here in Modoc County as well as the other other counties in District 1. I have meet him twice, he really does seem to care about We the People that he serves.

He’s a bumbler. We have only one real fighter.

In California.

Build out the grid for electric vehicles; that's being done too... He completely lied about back-up power generators... Look at electric cars from 10 years ago, now look at them today & now look at where they'll be 10 years from now... & California isn't outlawing owning gasoline vehicles 2035, they're just mandating that all new cars sold in 2035 need to be electric vehicles, not that u need to own one & at the rate of technology evolution, really shouldn't be a problem, even long haul electric big rigs will be efficient in 10 years that will also charge up full battery in less than 10min... Back in the day, people who owned horse businesses came out publicly to speak of the evil of cars, wood logging companies came up with anti natural gas campaigns, it's all just big business propaganda programmed into the weak-minded... Now I'm def not a Newsom fan, shit, I'm not a politician fan of any party, but California ain't doing so bad after 60 years of corrupted politicians stopping new infrastructure... Even all those people who moved out of California to Texas are moving back to California cuz Conservative propaganda manipulated the weak-minded to believe Texas was better, cheaper, more free & that just wasn't true... If a State problem is identified & actions to try to fix those problems are taking place, u can't really ask for more than that from ur government leaders... Reservoirs take years to build, upgrading the grid & power lines is gonna take years & years to finish, just upgrading a sewer system in a small city takes 4-5 years at minimum... A lot of people bark like chihuahuas with no concept of time, resources or budget...

Literally not facts. A lot was his colored opinions.

I am from Michigan...Right now all our fruits and vegetable crops are flourishing as it is September. But in a few months and the winter months to come, all of our fruits and vegetable's will be coming from California districts like yours. Thanks for feeding America.

I too am in Doug's district. I was in his district before I moved out of Penn Valley I lived there when we were agricultural then invaded by people from San Jose sad what they did to Nevada County. I am now in Siskiyou I love Cali. If things do not change quick, I just don't know where I can move to next.

You’re right and yet see how many will call him names, like right wing extremist, or maybe a white racist. Then the sheep will lay down and do what they are told.

I wish, instead were stuck with Newsom way down south. All him and his cronies have done is ruin the state.

In order to have someone elected who is 'normal' you must have citizens who are 'normal.' Your State is circling the drain and the time is long past to be able to 'save' it.

Yes!

Good luck, I am leaving next month.

I could not agree more.

It has gone from the golden state to the filthy expensive state😢

Greenville California here!!

I've been in NorCal my entire life, 4 decades minus the 2.5 years I lived in AZ. The Getty Political Crime Family (Getty, Pelosi, Feinstein, Brown, Newsom) has been running this state since the late 60s. They sure have rigged, robbed, and ruined everything and everyone out here. I've never been a Republican but I also haven't ever voted for any of them. However, I did sign the petition to recall Grabbin More Funds back in 2020, and I signed the recent petition to recall him again. Those "west coast loonies" don't actually outnumber us. Hollywood and the media just make it appear that way.

All states need more men like LaMalfa!!

More gas-lit fakes, you mean?

Yes! Get away from the demoCRAP party. The party of bans and mandates.

What a joke. You actually believe the Paradise fire happened because of trees falling across the power lines?

Doug LaMalfa is from our County. We are blessed to have him. He's never forgotten his roots. And fights for us all. If all Politicians were as open minded as Doug LaMalfa we would be in a better place . He's right on the money about Newsom. Mr. Double standard. Ruined Ca. Looking to ruin your State if elected in 2024.

California is still beautiful. It's politics are what has taken over and are no longer 'working nor are for It's "citizens."

If you are a "R".

It still is a beautiful state. Our mountains, expansive farm lands and incomparable coast lines are still jewels. But those in the large metro areas, whose numbers outnumber the rural areas , crazy liberals, are ruining our state.

Thanks for speaking the truth about California.It’s time to reverse everything wrong going on in our Golden State ❤

I wish he would've brought up the reason newsom was at that 'French Laundry' restaurant in Napa when he got caught not wearing his mask with everyone else maskless at their table. He wasn't at his "friend's" birthday party, he was there with the head of P.G.&E. writing a bill to get P.G.&E. off the hook from paying back the victims families for the losses of their loved one's lost in the Paradise fire! YES! That's RIGHT, P.G.&E. got OFF THE HOOK by newsom signing their bill to make EVERYBODY on P.G.&E's electricity to PAY OURSELVES BACK for THEIR NEGLECT!

I don’t recognize this country anymore. I’m sure you feel the same though

Me too, “ It’s a damn shame”

so you've been here the whole time and havent done anything.

Not everyone votes D. If you look at a map of D/R, most of the state is R. But population in the D areas out way R. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Doug said it I guess you missed it. Our elections have been rigged for over 40 years. As the nation laughed. Maybe just maybe people will listen to the citizens of Arizona.

Nortrhern California is majority red. There's a reason the State of Jefferson and Greater Idaho project are so popular there. They want out of the madness and a return to sanity.

I'm begging you to look into New California it has teeth State of Jefferson just sounds good. PLEASE@@nagaclan9734

@@lorna5562 Especially because the dems have flooded the border (and their states) with undocumented immigrants. That’s probably the real reason why they want to ultimately get rid of the electoral college 😂 Outside of NYC, West Hollywood, and San Francisco - I doubt that the surrounding areas are as liberal. Not anymore, anyway. But as long as America’s voting system remains electronic, while experts say that the system is easily hackable, and there is no official Voter ID card with fingerprint and photo, and the borders are being flooded by the demoncrats - how can anyone honestly say that the politicians from those areas really are/were the “real” people’s choice, and not our adversaries wishes: elected, or selected? And if you really open your eye, you’ll see that both coastlines are subversively being taken down - by hook, or crook. While chayna is secretly building near our military bases in the heartland, and even taking over our food growing fields. THIS is why it is so very important to know why jb and hb secretly took in millions from our adversaries in asia?

Not defending Newsome but he is NOT a nephew of Nancy Pelosi. Newsome is related to her husband but is not a nephew of his either.

Hopefully he don't mysterious die in his sleep

Can I point out that Newsom's family has large chunk of farm land in the valley north of Sacramento so he should know better

Forever Californian here. Our state is still absolutely beautiful. The main metro areas are not, but the majority of the state is still as beautiful as it ever was. I live in the mountains near Yosemite and I usually vacation at the central coast. Our government is obviously corrupt and the most frustrating thing is that 99% of all liberals live in the over crowded metro areas. Personally, I only know 1 person who is a liberal out of hundreds & hundreds. Our voting has been rigged. How else can we explain that Newscum called his victory two minutes after the polls closed . . . before votes were confirmed, before absentee ballots were received & counted . . . from all 58 counties. We impeached Newscum about 3 years ago by the number of signatures on the petitions, but interestingly when it went to a ballot, we were short by way too many votes to be believable. Corrupt government by greedy rich elites who only care about power & themselves.

Amen❗🙏⚡

As a young man, Doug Malfa was busy working hard, going for higher education while most Californians were going metro s*xu*l while puffing on the r**fers. Doug Malfa grew wiser through educaiton and hard work and didn't skip through life st*n*d and saying, "hey man, everythings cool,man" when it wasn't cool at all. Now ask how he knows how to think. He was a problem solver since youth and didn't go through a hazy lazy day of summer smoke. Praise God for that. He's a biological male too. Can'[t ya tell? That's what happened.🔥💛🔥, just saying.

Maybe if forests were actually managed the camp fire would never have happened or have been minimized. I drove through paradise after the fire to see the devastation and it was one giant maze. One lane dirt roads through neighborhoods. Those people didn’t have a chance to get out, not to mention there was no time to really warn folks. I used to want to live out there but not anymore. I had coworkers lose everything, homes, pets and worse people.

I have been wanting to visit California since I was very young. Now that Im able to do so, Im turned off with how far these leftist shills have destroyed this once beautiful, awesome state. I hope you guys can get your state back and restore its original glory. Before its too late

Then leave if you hate it so bad here

Like he said Californias great. It’s the dumb policies that are being pushed by Gavin and others causing homelessness, loss of essential infrastructure, and death. All for what they say is to reduce climate change and co2. When the reality is that Gavin and others do this for money. Companies and other countries pay them off. These policies will have the reverse effect and cause people to become more reliant on more harmful for the environment lifestyles.

Most of us here actually feel similarly to this distinguished gentleman, just look at the red/blue maps of how the state voted. The problem is that the masses of population huddled together along the coast (Bay Area, LA, etc.) make it appear that the state is “blue".

There is a large community of us. LA and SF ruin everything.

Over 4.5 million California conservatives voted for Trump in 2020. I'll bet that's more conservatives than you have in your entire state. Californians were first to address illegal immigration with Prop 187 in the early 90s. That Prop passed overwhelming but was overturned by the corrupt court. Californians also passed Prop 164, term limits, in 1992, for state politicians. The politicians just moved to other political positions. California has been destroyed by politicians and changing demographics. There are so many illegals and foreigners that come into this state. You wouldn't recognize it as part of the United States. The replacement is real. Now you know what the government wants for the whole country. Do you have any idea how many homeless have come to CA from all over the nation??? Most of these people are not Californians. The absolute ignorance of the rest of the country about what happened to California is astounding. They actually believe Californians voted for this crap. No, it was forced upon us by the government, activists and the courts. Have a nice day.

There’s tons in California that have sense but San Francisco & LA etc overrule everything

I am one of them! He’s hitting the nail on the head and there’s a whole lot more of us in CA that agree 💯! We are sick of these democrats and liberals trying to control and tax us to death! We don’t want the EV agenda, we live remotely (1 hour 1 way to town) we are paying around $5.65 a gallon on regular unleaded and over $6 for diesel! It’s absolutely absurd!
