-Our first guest tonight is the Governor of California.

Please welcome back to the show Governor Gavin Newsom.

-It's great to be with you. -Thank you so much.

Obviously, this is an incredibly busy time for you.

We really appreciate you making time for us.

a very different world than just three months ago.

I was here at the state capital, announcing

a $6 billion budget surplus in the state of California,

and talk about unprecedented unemployment and deficits.

And every day, I go in front of the press,

and I announce the number of lives lost --

in the last 24 hours here in California alone.

It's remarkable what a few months -- how things can change.

-You were the first governor to issue a stay-at-home order.

And I think, in these really fractured political times,

people might forget that no governor ever wants

to tell the people in their state to stay at home.

That must have been an incredibly hard decision.

Can you talk about the difficulty in making it?

doesn't mean people are gonna do something.

But all this happens with the speed of trust.

And if you don't have the trust of folks,

you're doing the right thing for the right reasons,

I mean, this is the fifth largest economy in the world --

in terms of the size and scale and scope --

across every geographic and political difference,

overwhelmingly abided by the stay-at-home order

the most challenging period for all of us --

so that they can help the state of California.

fighting for people's right to their beach.

And this state -- it's one of the reasons

"Go West, young man, go West," in the 1850s.

an 1,100-mile coastline, 800 miles of pristine beaches,

none more beautiful than down in Orange County,

And so I hated to do it, but I had to do it

They're all saying the only way we can set this course back

to re-opening with modifications, our economy,

that we saw on those beaches over the weekend.

Most of the beaches -- over 100 did everything right,

and the communities there really met the moment.

But, unfortunately, people were really eager to get out,

and then have a pathway to reopen very quickly.

-You have announced a four-phase plan to reopening.

is we've seen in countries that have started to re-open

How strictly do you adhere to this four-phase plan,

and how often during the day are you checking in with the data

We're driven by data. We're driven by health.

You know, a lot of pressure to quote, unquote,
