Senator Adam Schiff revealed that his luggage was stolen in southern San Francisco two years ago, and that an employee in a close goal later “basically said in not so many words, yes, the Democrats are holes” when they buy the tiletake.
Golden State Senator used the anecdote to recognize that Democrats have an “important problem” and fundamentally “will change the way we do business in California.”
“We are going to have to address people’s legitimate groups about crime,” Schiff (D-Calif.) Reflected on Friday “Real time with Bill Maher.”
“I thought, you know, if the cashier in San Francisco at 10:00 at night believes that the Democrats are a hole that is shampoo is locked up and my things are stolen from the trunk, we have an important problem that we have to address.”
Schiff, 64, who was a congressman at the time of theft, said he had his luggage in the trunk of a car, where he was later stolen in an “experience in the city that all people have” in California.
Other prominent Democrats of California have been forced to take into account their management of Golden State.
Last year, the governor of California Gavin Newsom (D), which is limited to term, said privately at a escape zoom meeting from state officials, how was a brazen robbery witness in front of him in an objective.
“He picks it up and continues to be reviewing,” Newsom recalled about the store thief before noticing that the employee let him go. “The woman says:” Oh, he is just coming out, “hey, he didn’t pay for that.” I said: “Well, why don’t you stop him?” She says: “Oh, the governor.”
“The governor lowered the threshold and there is no responsibility,” “the governor told the employee who told him.” And then look at me twice, and then scare, call everyone. Shey to take a photo. “
“And I’m like,” no, I’m not taking a picture, we are having a conversation. Where is your manager? ”
The forceful admission of Schiff occurs in the midst of a broader search of the soul within the Democratic Party on leadership issues and why the Republicans had such a strong electoral performance last November.
“I disagree that we have to do a lot to improve governance in California,” Schiff admitted.
Duration The panel session in “Real Time”, Schiff also confronted Conerns that the entertainment industry is turning California.
The columnist of the conservative opinion of the New York Times, Bret Stephens, argued that “California has become an exhibition in the progressive presumption” and concluded that its high tax rate and regulation is rejecting the entertainment industry.
“They leave because they are obtaining richer incentives in other states and other countries, and we have not followed the rhythm of that,” Schiff replied on the entertainment industry. “If we want to keep the industry here, we will have to compete with tax incentives. California has begun to do it.”
“At the federal level, I think that the United States will also have to offer incentives to maintain this industry here and compete throughout the world.”
Stephens argued that Schiff should apply that mentality to companies in all areas that wish to establish a store in California.
“We need to compete for business with the rest of the country, and we should not be complacent about whether people will be located here due to the commercial climate,” Schiff agreed.
