So, what you saw in court today

U.S. Presidential candidate Kamala Harris owns everything that happened in the court in today and everything that's going to continue to happen in this case

This case was brought by

Kamala Harris on behalf of Planned Parenthood and you can see the collusion, in real time, in the court room

between Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation and the California Attorney General's Office

weaponizing the law enforcement powers of the

California Attorney General's Office to come after citizen journalism, attack the First Amendment, and try and cover up for their political buddies and their campaign

donors of Planned Parenthood,

who are under current FBI and DOJ investigation

right now, for selling baby body parts (against the law) for profit... and which a federal court in Texas

has found that the videos are probable cause that

Planned Parenthood has made criminal partial birth abortions to sell more marketable fetal body parts. And

these videos have led directly already to a Southern California

prosecutor shutting down two of Planned Parenthood's biggest business partners

and selling baby parts. The DaVinci companies... And the $7.8

million dollar settlement

where the companies admitted that they were harvesting and selling baby parts

from a local Planned Parenthood in Orange County for profit for many years. And they admitted that, and the DEA accredited CMPs undercover work with

making that prosecution happen.

and but so, on behalf of Planned

Parenthood and their allies, wanting to cover up all of that... the Attorney General's Office brought this case for that reason, and that reason only,

and that's the only reason that they're continuing with it: to try to prop up Planned Parenthood's political narrative as long as they still can.

Pete Baklinski: If you could just give me a comment about the collusion that you saw. What did you actually witness in the courtroom between these different groups?

David: You can see in every break, and sometimes not even during a break, and the Attorney General is

constantly going back to the lawyers for Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation,

consulting with them asking them how to proceed,

plotting their next moves together. This is something that we see in the documents that have already been produced from the investigation of this case.

And it's something that

The Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation need to be held accountable for because this isn't a fair proceeding right now.

When outside third-party

corporations, two of them, Planned Parenthood and NAF are allowed to come in and try and just take over a

prosecution as if it's any other lawsuit. So they should be thrown out of court.

California Today What to Know About Gavin Newsoms State of the State The New York Times

Good morning.

If you dont already get California Today by email, heres .

The was last week. But theres one Californian whos been waiting to give his rebuttal.

Gov. Gavin Newsoms first State of the State is this morning. Hes set to double down on his to present an alternative to the rhetoric and policies coming out of the White House.

President Trump offered a vision of an America fundamentally at odds with California values, Mr. Newsom plans to say, according to excerpts from the address.

He described a country where inequality didnt seem to be a problem, where climate change doesnt exist, and where the greatest threat we face comes from families at the border, seeking asylum from violence stricken countries.

Mr. Newsom will be speaking a day after he signed an order to of Californias National Guard troops from the border and assign them to other duties, including working with Cal Fire on wildfire prevention and intelligence operations, aimed at international criminal drug gangs.

The move is also a departure from the approach of his predecessor, Jerry Brown, at the Trump administrations request.

The border emergency is a manufactured crisis, Mr. Newsom says. And California will not be part of this political theater.

Heres what else you need to know before the governor speaks:

When and how can I watch the speech?

The governor will speak to a joint session of the Legislature in the You can watch it . And a bunch of other places.

If you really want to compare and contrast Mr. Newsom and Mr. Brown, you can listen to past State of the State speeches in this , which also includes some transcripts.

Beyond immigration, what can I expect him to talk about?

Mr. Newsom has talked about taking steps to narrow the economic chasm between, as he put it, the rich and everyone else.

Hes long said the state needs to build millions of homes, and he recently threatened to for local governments that fail to approve new housing.

Well most likely hear more about the initiatives Mr. Newsom laid out in his sweeping, proposal, which included proposals like boosting and early childhood education spending.

But is the governor dealing with any problems that he might discuss?

Itll be worth keeping an ear out for how the governor addresses the bankruptcy of the states biggest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric based in his hometown, San Francisco .

Observers have said that handles the mess is his first — and potentially defining — big political test.

Earlier this month, he pushing for wildfire survivors, PG E employees and customers to have strong representation inside the bankruptcy courtroom.

But so far, he and reduce the risk of wildfires.

California governor to draw down guard troops at border - Duration: 3:00.

California governor to draw down guard troops at border

California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans Monday to withdraw several hundred National Guard troops from the states southern border with Mexico in defiance of the Trump administrations request for support from border states.

About 100 of the 360 troops will remain deployed under Californias agreement with the federal government to focus specifically on combating transnational crime such as drug and gun smuggling, Newsom spokesman Nathan Click said. Specifically, they will be tasked with providing intelligence on transnational crime and assist with cargo dock operations and searches of commercial trucks for contraband.

Newsoms move comes on the heels of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, also a Democrat, pulling back her states troops from the U.S. Mexico border. The two states former governors agreed to send troops to the border last April at the Trump administrations request along with Texas and Arizona.

Newsoms and Grishams actions are a fresh, if symbolic, affront to President Donald Trumps description of an immigration crisis on the nations southern border.

"The border emergency is a manufactured crisis, and California will not be part of this political theatre," Newsom plans to say in his Tuesday State of the State address, according to excerpts released by his office.

Newsom will reassign roughly 110 troops to beef up Californias fire preparation efforts ahead of the next wildfire season and expand the guards counterdrug task force program. The expansion of the counterdrug task force requires approval from the U.S. Department of Defence.

The original mission, approved by former California Gov. Jerry Brown, was set to end March 31. The order Newsom plans to send Monday will require the guard to immediately begin withdrawing troops but still give it until the end of March to do so. When Brown, a fellow Democrat, approved the mission in April, he said no California troops would participate in immigration related activities. He similarly ordered the troops to focus on combating transnational crime.

"This will not be a mission to build a new wall," Brown wrote at the time in a letter to Trump administration officials. "It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws."

Newsoms Monday order will argue that the increase in Central American migrants crossing over the border is the result of a desire to escape violence and repression fueled in part by the activities of transnational crime organizations. The California guards resources are best spent tackling those activities, he plans to argue.

Just a month into his governorship of the nations most populous state, Newsom has sparred with Trump on immigration and other issues. He has held up California as an antidote to what he deems a corrupt Washington, a message hes likely to echo in Tuesdays State of the State speech, his first as governor.

Texas and Arizona still have troops on the border.

The 360 troops are a fraction of the roughly 14,000 that have been deployed throughout California for various operations since 2016.

Gavin Newsom scales back California high speed rail plan The Sacramento Bee - Duration: 2:58.

Gavin Newsom scales back California high speed rail plan The Sacramento Bee

February 12, 2019 11:49 AM

In his first State of the State speech Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom called for the state to scale back the focus of its high speed rail project to focus on one portion in the Central Valley.

I have nothing but respect for Governor Browns and Governor Schwarzeneggers vision. I share it, Newsom said. But lets be real. The current project, as planned, would cost too much and take too long.

He said theres simply isnt a path to build high speed rail to connect the northern and southern parts of the state. But the rail line can link Central Valley cities Merced and Bakersfield, he said.

The Valley may be known around the world for agriculture, but there is another story ready to be told. A story of a region hungry for investment, a workforce eager for more training and good jobs, Californians who deserve a fair share of our states prosperity.

The Central Valley has long been neglected by lawmakers, he said.

They deserve better, he said. The high speed rail project can be part of that.

He said he would institute more oversight of the project and increase its transparency. He also announced he is appointing his economic development director, Lenny Mendonca, to chair the High Speed Rail Authority.

The Democratic governor acknowledged critics who want the state to abandon the project entirely, but said he doesnt want to waste the billions already spent on the project, nor does he want to return dollar 3.5 billion the state has received in federal funding.

Newsom, who took office last month, also used is remarks to describe a state at odds with President Donald Trump on immigration.

He said the number of people living in the state illegally is at its lowest level in more than a decade.

This is our answer to the White House: No more division, no more xenophobia and no more nativism, he said. We suffered enough from that.

During the speech, Newsom also announced:

Hell consider signing legislation to stabilize rents without putting small landlords out of business and encouraged lawmakers to propose a package of legislation to that end.

He wants a master plan on aging to address the states aging population and its increasing health care needs. Additionally, former First Lady Maria Shriver will lead a task force on Alzheimers prevention.

He wants to the Delta tunnels project to a single tunnel. That will likely delay the project further and reduce costs.

California governor blasts Trump political theater, pulls border troops - Duration: 3:01.

California governor blasts Trump political theater, pulls border troops

LOS ANGELES — Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom tore into President s policies Monday during a press conference where he spoke about his decision to pull the majority of the states National Guard troops from the U.S. Mexico border.

"This crisis on the border is a manufactured crisis," Newsom told reporters. "We are not interested in participating in this political theater."

The decision to pull 260 of the states 360 troops from the border follows Trumps State of the Union address last week in which he repeated concerns about a border crisis. Newsoms action is another sign the new governor, after just over a month in office, is taking a more activist approach when it comes to Trumps policies than Californias previous governor, .

Last April, Brown agreed to send to the border at the request of Trump, who cited "a crisis" at the border due to a "combination of illegal drugs, dangerous gang activity, and extensive illegal immigration."

Newsom signed an order Monday to withdraw 260 troops in a challenge to Trumps original request. The remaining 100 troops will conduct operations primarily around ports of entry, supporting federal efforts to combat drug and gun trafficking.

Californias current agreement with the Pentagon for National Guard troops at the border is set to expire at the end of March. Newsom said the state intends to secure a new agreement with the federal government for just 100 troops.

The 100 soldiers who will stay at the border have special training in narcotics search and seizures as well as expertise in transnational criminal organization intelligence. Newsom said the drug and gun trafficking concerns are real, but he dismissed the presidents claims of a crisis due to undocumented immigration.

There have been undocumented immigrants as part of work with U.S. Border Patrol agents. The governor conceded some of the states troops may have indirectly been in operations that involved some undocumented immigrants.

"When you have National Guardsmen and women doing, for example, surveillance with cameras," he said, "its hard to distinguish between those that are participating in gun and drug activity versus those that may be just crossing the border illegally." He called it "a gray area that we will no longer participate in."

The governor also said the border duty for the states troops has been "getting in the way of the National Guard being prepared for being redeployed overseas." He said the troops "are doing work that precludes them from getting the training and the skills and the time off that is necessary to make sure that theyre prepared for more appropriate deployments. So this is actually hurting our readiness."

Newsom said a number of the National Guard soldiers getting pulled from the border will help Cal Fire to focus on fire prevention efforts. He also said theres a need for the troops to assist in fighting illegal cannabis grows in Northern California that are not part of the states regulated market.

In challenging Trumps claims of a border crisis, Newsom said border crossings are at the lowest levels since 1971. He said undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a significantly lower level than native born citizens. And he said California has about 550,000 fewer undocumented immigrants in the state than it did a decade ago.

"This is pure politics," the governor said.

Newsom also commented on Trump asking the Pentagon to to the southern border.

"If youre going to add 3,750 troops to the border, why do you need the National Guard?" Newsom said.

The White House didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.

Newsom also has been critical of Trump on the to the state for wildfire relief. The threat from Trump followed the Camp Fire last year that killed 86 people in Northern California and destroyed most of the town of Paradise.

The governor also blamed Trump for the recent government shutdown and was quick to offer affected by the shutdown.

"Gavin Newsom has nothing to worry about as governor of this state by confronting Donald Trump," said Garry South, the veteran Los Angeles based Democratic strategist who advised former Gov. Gray Davis. "Thats what most Californians want him to do. Many Democrats didnt think Jerry Brown did it enough — and that included acceding to the presidents request that the border state governors send National Guard troops to the border."

South added, "People are going to see a lot more proactivity from Gavin Newsom than they ever saw from Jerry Brown during the whole last eight years he was governor."

He told me about growing up in Idaho and joining the Marine Corps in 2002 at 17, deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. I was surprised by his opinions, they didnt fit the military, red state stereotype. I went home to NYC after the conference, but six months later, I moved to San Diego. We were married in May 2014.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom downsizes Delta water project one tunnel, not two The Sacramento Bee - Duration: 4:23.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom downsizes Delta water project one tunnel, not two The Sacramento Bee

February 12, 2019 11:29 AM

Gov. Gavin Newsom, diving into one of Californias most contentious water issues, said Tuesday he wants to downsize the Delta tunnels project. The Democratic governor also set out to overhaul state water policy by naming a new chair of the states water board.

Newsom said he wants the twin tunnel project — designed to that serves as the hub of Californias elaborate water delivery system — reduced to a single tunnel.

I do not support the WaterFix as currently configured, Newsom said during his first State of the State address, using the official term for the Delta project. Meaning, I do not support the twin tunnels. We can build, however, on the important work thats already been done. Thats why I do support a single tunnel.

The announcement likely means the project would require a fresh set of environmental reviews before it can proceed, translating into additional delays for a project thats been in the planning stage for more than a decade and will take an estimated 15 years to build.

At the same time, a single tunnel would almost certainly save billions of dollars for a project, which carries a current price tag of dollar 16.7 billion, thats had trouble achieving full funding.

Newsom also attempted to strike a more centrist tone on water policy in general, saying we have to get past the old binaries, like farmers versus environmentalists, or North versus South. He appointed a new chair of the State Water Resources Control board, Joaquin Esquivel, whom the governor said will help bring this balance.

A former assistant secretary at the state Natural Resources Agency, Esquivel has been a board member for two years and will replace Felicia Marcus, a former official with the Natural Resources Defense Council, who over plans to reallocate water from farms and cities to prop up struggling fish populations.

She has chaired the water board since 2013 and her term expired last month.

In addition, Newsom reiterated his support for that would raise millions for troubled water agencies plagued with unsafe supplies, including many in the San Joaquin Valley. Solving this crisis will demand sustained funding, he said. it will demand political will from each and every one of us.

The future of the Delta tunnels, formally known as California WaterFix, has been shaky for months. At one point a year ago, former Gov. Jerry Brown suggested reducing WaterFix to a single tunnel as a way of slashing costs. But last April the powerful agreed to double its contribution to the project, to dollar 10.8 billion, putting the two tunnel approach back on track.

Even so, it wasnt clear if the two tunnel approach would survive the transition to Newsoms administration. Newsom said in early January that he was concerned about the twin tunnels but signaled that he still wanted the project to go forward in some fashion. In October, he told the Los Angeles Times that a could calm fears that Metropolitan would use the tunnels to siphon more water from Northern California.

Water moves from north to south through a pair of giant pumps — one operated by the State Water Project, the other by the federal governments Central Valley Project — at the south end of the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta. Decades of pumping has degraded the Deltas eco system and left Delta smelt and Chinook salmon in danger of extinction. Sometimes the pumps work so hard, they reverse river flows within the Delta and push migrating fish toward predators and the pumps themselves.

Because those fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, the pumps often have to be throttled back, allowing water to flow to the ocean instead of getting delivered to the two projects member agencies in the south state.

WaterFix would alter how water flows through the Delta, by diverting some of the Sacramento River near Courtland and piping it underground to the pumps 40 miles away. Thats designed to ease the reverse flow problem, protecting the fish and enabling pumping to proceed with fewer interruptions.

Many environmentalists and local government officials in the Sacramento area, however, have said WaterFix would actually worsen the Deltas problems. Delta farmers in particular say the project, by siphoning a portion of the Sacramento Rivers flow, would leave the estuary much saltier and less conducive to growing crops.

Those critics are suing to block the project; theyre also trying to prevent state officials from securing crucial permits from the State Water Resources Control Board, which has to sign off on the plan to divert water near Courtland. Environmentalists are also fighting the states attempt to get approvals from a state agency that must rule that WaterFix puts environmental protection on an equal footing with the goal of improving water deliveries.

The project faces another huge hurdle: money. WaterFix is to be financed by the south of Delta water agencies that would benefit from its construction. But even though WaterFix is a joint federal state effort, San Joaquin Valley farmers who receive water from the federal Central Valley Project have refused to pledge any dollars, saying the cost is too high.

Newsoms announcement left unclear what role the federal government will pay in WaterFix. has shown little support for the project and is working to relax environmental rules in order to deliver more water to Valley agriculture, to the outrage of environmentalists.

California Today What to Know About Gavin Newsoms State of the State The New York Times

Good morning.

If you dont already get California Today by email, heres .

The was last week. But theres one Californian whos been waiting to give his rebuttal.

Gov. Gavin Newsoms first State of the State is this morning. Hes set to double down on his to present an alternative to the rhetoric and policies coming out of the White House.

President Trump offered a vision of an America fundamentally at odds with California values, Mr. Newsom plans to say, according to excerpts from the address.

He described a country where inequality didnt seem to be a problem, where climate change doesnt exist, and where the greatest threat we face comes from families at the border, seeking asylum from violence stricken countries.

Mr. Newsom will be speaking a day after he signed an order to of Californias National Guard troops from the border and assign them to other duties, including working with Cal Fire on wildfire prevention and intelligence operations, aimed at international criminal drug gangs.

The move is also a departure from the approach of his predecessor, Jerry Brown, at the Trump administrations request.

The border emergency is a manufactured crisis, Mr. Newsom says. And California will not be part of this political theater.

Heres what else you need to know before the governor speaks:

When and how can I watch the speech?

The governor will speak to a joint session of the Legislature in the You can watch it . And a bunch of other places.

If you really want to compare and contrast Mr. Newsom and Mr. Brown, you can listen to past State of the State speeches in this , which also includes some transcripts.

Beyond immigration, what can I expect him to talk about?

Mr. Newsom has talked about taking steps to narrow the economic chasm between, as he put it, the rich and everyone else.

Hes long said the state needs to build millions of homes, and he recently threatened to for local governments that fail to approve new housing.

Well most likely hear more about the initiatives Mr. Newsom laid out in his sweeping, proposal, which included proposals like boosting and early childhood education spending.

But is the governor dealing with any problems that he might discuss?

Itll be worth keeping an ear out for how the governor addresses the bankruptcy of the states biggest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric based in his hometown, San Francisco .

Observers have said that handles the mess is his first — and potentially defining — big political test.

Earlier this month, he pushing for wildfire survivors, PG E employees and customers to have strong representation inside the bankruptcy courtroom.

But so far, he and reduce the risk of wildfires.

Inside Elon Musk's stunning tech-controlled California mansion on sale for £3.5m - News Live - Duration: 2:31.

 Billionaire Elon Musk has put his hi-tech California mansion on the market for £3

5million ($4.5m).  The futuristic spaceship-shaped pad comes with its own moat swimming pool and stunning views of the surrounds of Brentwood, south California

 The luxury 3,000sqft home, one of the 47-year-old's smaller properties, boasts four huge bedrooms and three spacious bathrooms

 It is perched in the hills and believed to be almost entirely tech-controlled with automated curtains and an integrated security system

 It also boasts a salt water plunge pool and is protected by neatly-trimmed hedges

   Nearly the entire home has stunning floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding ocean, canyon and downtown LA

 And Musk, who is worth around £12billion, could be set to make £600,000 from the sale of the modern mansion

 He originally bought the home with ex-wife Talulah Riley for £2.9million ($3.69million) back in 2014

   The property was put on the market by Hilton and Hyland.  Musk and former spouse Riley met in 2010 and split two years later

 They then tied the knot for a second time before a high-profile second divorce in 2016

 Innovative Musk made his billions as a co-founder of PayPal and CEO of space explorations firm Space X

 The South African recently announced the company has just taken a huge step towards becoming the first private firm to send tourists into space

 He revealed images of his Starship rocket, which he claims could be used to send humans to Mars in the future

 While Musk has previously shared renderings of the rocket, this is the first time he's revealed images of the real deal

 He tweeted: "Starship test flight rocket just finished assembly at the @SpaceX Texas launch site

This is an actual picture, not a rendering."  This week marks a busy period for SpaceX, with the company due to launch another batch of satellites into space on its Falcon 9 rocket later on Friday
