On to director, and nancy ward, from california. Governors office of emergency services. Thank you, courtney. I am nancy ward, director of the california Governors Office of emergency services. We are here today because california is threatened by what could be one of the most devastating storms weve had Hit California in more than a decade. Make no mistake, this very, dangerous and significant storm. Heavy rainfall, strong winds associated with this storm began today already and will be felt well beyond the center of the storm entering california. I have been in near Constant Contact with governor newsom. He has pretty much told us to lean as far forward in coordinating and reassuring. We can respond as quickly as we possibly can. The State Senator beyond means being pushed 24 7 to coordinate those resource requests from the local stakeholders and counties, communities, across the southern part of the state to ensure that no needs are unmet in those areas. The state has the best train
watching, it brings out the truth in a lot of witnesses. jay tom morgan, thank you sir. i appreciate it. all right, georgia s republican governor and secretary of state refusing to help donald trump try to overturn the 2020 election. but other republican state officials, they are furious with the indictments announced by dwight fani willis. a republican state senator, colton more, wrote to governor this week demanding a special session for lawmakers to review willis s actions, something that is not likely to happen it because it is rare for our governor to do so. otherwise three fifths of the georgia house and senate would have to vote for it, and republicans would need democratic votes to reach that threshold. he s also calling for defunding willis s office and for her impeachment quote, if appropriate. georgia democratic state representative shea roberts to talk more about this. representative roberts, thanks for joining us. thank you for having me, yasmin. any possibility
illegal is involved. this is actually signed by to create this commission by the georgia governor. georgia governor brian kemp. do you believe that republicans are trying to push this commission, this law, when it comes to dea fani willis? so it s interesting, i was on the committee, the judiciary and on civil committee that deliberated this particular bill, and i don t necessarily think that it was implemented specifically for her. there has been some general criticism of a democratic d.a.s that they are not prosecuting all crimes. and really what i think they ve been expressing is violent crime is up. so they re using their prosecutorial discretion to charged more violent crimes and maybe let small amounts of marijuana, are just not the priority. so that was the justification for the bill that we are told.
of course not. i really have no concern about senator moore s request, it doesn t even look like he has very much support from his own party. and as you said, governor kent is probably not willing to follow it as well. what i do find extremely concerning is the attempt to paint d.a. willis s actions as politically motivated. what she s doing, she s doing the job that she sworn to do. two separate grand juries after reviewing the evidence and listening to the testimony have found probable cause to charge donald trump, and 41 criminal counts, 91 across four different states, merrick talking about one he has been charged with 91 criminal counts. so of course it would be improper for d.a. willis to charge simply for politically motivated reasons, but that s not her. it would be equally as wrong for us not to hold donald trump and his associates accountable,
he does not have a very long record. we are about to find out. we certainly are. thank you, sir. appreciated. coming up later on this hour. we are going to hear from someone very familiar with fulton county d.a., fani willis s position and the logistics that may go into trying the case. former dea from neighboring county, jay tal morgan. democratic s georgia state representative shea roberts on the republican-led efforts to retaliate against fani willis. and fearing the death troll may soon third and why as residents are growing in career over the failures that contributed to so many lives lost. we are back in 60 seconds with a live report from maui. . , they fell in love with the irresistible scent. huh, huh, so did their dog roger. gain scent beads keep even the stinkiest stuff smelling fresh.
