  1. That's really good news. Since California can brag about its large economy maybe they can step up and pay their own bills instead of asking the federal government for a handout. Sanctuary states should not receive one penny of federal money for anything but especially for spending on criminal illegal aliens or dams or wells. You screwed up both you can fix both. California actions appear akin to being a bunch of false braggerts.

  2. CA putting up their debt numbers. CA is a sellout state, there is nothing.. thats why the state just spends and raises taxes. CA has no negotiating power, just pawns in propaganda that need need need spend spend spend.

  3. Also one of the deepest in debt 😂🤣 oil snake max headeoom has ran it into the ground stealing… peloshits family are ALL criminal thieves

  4. Trump = Chaos. When you elect a Clown you get a Circus. Boycott USA – boycott American products. Under crazy Trump the USA is not a safe country for tourists.

  5. California Cities have become open air toilets, major crime centers, and places that more and more CITIZENS feel unwelcome in — Using the Democrat Party as a prop, California is on the fast tract to become America's first fully Communist State

  6. Question – Did Governor Gavin Newsom subtract the California GDP from the U.S. GDP? Why? The International Monetary fund only posts data by country. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis only posts data of United States. This report appears to imply that either of those organizations made the conclusion that California is the 4th largest economy. That is not true, neither did they "report" that "finding". I seem to recall as a former elementary school teacher that we taught children maybe in the… 2nd grade to notice that this chart is comparing countries to a state. I believe Sesame Street taught that lesson, as well? One of these things is not like the other… now it's time to play our game? Neither of the two "sources" made this conclusion. Gavin Newsom's team made this conclusion and then his team decided to spread it through California media outlets as though California functions alone as its own country without the entire other 49 states being ESSENTIAL contributors to its economy. California is absolutely nothing without the rest of the country as consumers and vice versa. If Gavin wants to pretend that he is President of the Country of California, it is time for those other countries that are engaging with the United States consumer to begin pushing back at Newsom's attempts to swindle Californians that they belong to their own country. This is a dangerous social media game and I am an advocate of boycotting all California media sources that continue to spread this social media propaganda campaign of Newsom's. The fact is the The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis recently reported a mere 1.4% change in GDP in California for the 2024 third quarter. Which is DOMINATED by the 4.0% change in Hawaii, 4.2% in Mississippi, and (eh hem) 5.1% in Arkansas? Essentially, Arkansas kicked everyone's * in the third quarter… if I'm reading the BOE chart correctly where California is not listed as its own country because then it wouldn't be in the report? Way to go, America's 25th state, Arkansas! California has been a state of AMERICA as an economically cooperative unit for 175 years. Can someone send Gavin the Memo? TIA. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I recognize a coordinated social media swindle when I see one, KSBW Action News 8.

  7. This is BS. Sounds like propaganda for Newsome to me. We all know California is about the worst business friendly state here. More businesses are leaving here than anywhere in the world. Propaganda garbage……

  8. I Hit $32,590 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last week. i started with 5k in last week 2025…. now i just hit $32,590

  9. So tired of this BS. NO STATE puts more money on the government credit card each year than California. No one else comes anywhere close to what they borrow each year. So liberal is going to scream that California pays more federal tax than anyone. MORE BS. PEOPLE pay their federal taxes regardless of what state they live in….and they all pay the same rates. California borrows close to 100 billion each year. Every state is getting a piece of their budget paid for by the government. And, while it's true a state like Mississippi gets about 42% of their budget from the fed, their budget is about 9 Billion. California will crow we only get about 33% of their budget from the feds. BUT CALIFORNIA'S BUDGET IS ABOUT 215 BILLION. 42% of 9 billion is 3.78 Billion. 33% of 215 billion is over 70 BILLION. GET IT????????????? Not to mention the countless unfunded liability that chithole state has! I'd just as soon cut that state loose!

  10. Yet trillions in debt and operating as a illegal entity.
    Voters passed a ballot measure for 6 billion to build 2 new reservoirs creating 100 million acre feet of water storage. 3 years later crime boss newscum used 250 million of those funds to destroy numerous dams on the klamath river which generated clean electricity for 80,000 homes and not one $ spent on the bills intended purpose.
