They passed one thousand one hundred and seventeen separate bills, every single one of them adding to the mountain of ridiculous regulation that's strangling our state. And no one will be to go there and take a fledgehammer to this floated nanny state bureaucracy. And the good news is that that's actually the main thing.
The government, because you do have a pattern with President Trump federally, you control the executive branch. So I have thousands of appointments to hundreds of state agencies, and I can really influence things that way from opening up oil and gas production in California to stopping extortionate lawsuits against small businesses that's being ripped off. You know, there's a whole range.
I mean, I'm going through every single issue. And that's the specific thing where that's getting water to our farmers in the Central Valley, reversing the insane kind of climate agenda that's making it impossible to build anything or anything. And the bureaucracy is the is the weapon that they've used to crush us in California.
And it's exactly my antidote is control of that and pointing it in the direction and in the process, cutting it back massively. No, that's awesome. And I think we only have about 10 more minutes with Steve.
So when I get to the hands here, Steve, I hope you're hope you're doing well on your first day. I'm glad you're here, man. I mean, you know, more to come, hopefully, especially as things heat up.
You're always welcome here. But let's go to stealth and then we'll go around the room. Hey, Steve.
Nice to meet you. So we were talking a bit before you were in here. In order for you to be the most successful governor, you would need to bring in almost like a coalition of people to do a doge level investigation into what the DSA has done.
The Democrats are not your competitors. It's the DSA, which is really a malign influence operation. And we don't have to talk about too many things publicly, but I can send through what you may need and myself and Barbie can help you with that and a whole other group of people.
