CLAIM THEIR THREATS TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY CENTER JACKSON THE
FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU. MISTER
PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES ARE
APPRECIATE YOUR INDULGENCE.
URGENCY ITEM.
WHICH SHAW OCCURRED AS A RESULT
OF THE THOMAS FIRE BACK IN
DECEMBER FOURTH WHICH.
BURNED FOR OVER FORTY DAYS AND.
CHARGED OVER FOUR HUNDRED AND
FORTY SQUARE MILES OF ALL WITHIN
THE NINETEEN STATE SENATE
DISTRICT WHICH I AM HONORED TO.
REPRESENT OUR IT DESTROYED MORE
THAN A THOUSAND STRUCTURES AND
DAMAGED ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED
EIGHTY BUILDINGS.
AS THE LARGEST WILDFIRE IN THE
STATE'S HISTORY AND AMONG THOSE
STRUCTURES THAT WERE BURNED.
WE'RE TWO BUILDINGS ARE AT THE
AURORA VISTA DEL MAR.
ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL IN
VENTURA COUNTY NOW THIS WAS ONE
OF THE LARGEST IF NOT THE
LARGEST PRIVATE PSYCHIATRIC
HOSPITAL IN THE AREA. AND ITS
CLOSURE HAS RESULTED IN THE LOSS
OF SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF ALL%
AVAILABLE PSYCHIATRIC BEDS IN
THE ENTIRE VENTURA COUNTY AREA.
AND A HUNDRED PERCENT.
LOSS OF THE ADOLESCENT BANDS IN
THE CENTRAL COAST AREA.
GIVEN THAT WE'VE HAD A SHORTAGE
THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOW NO
WHERE THE SAND THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE OR TO HOUSE ACUTE
PSYCHIATRIC.
PATIENTS HAS CREATED A VERY
SERIOUS PROBLEM WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY THE VISTA DEL MAR IS
WORKING TO REOPEN THEIR
INPATIENT BEDS THIS SUMMER BUT.
THEY'VE WORK TO OPEN THE OUT
PATIENT SERVICES IMMEDIATELY AND
INCLUDING ADOLESCENT SERVICES
UNFORTUNATELY STATUTORY
BARRIERS.
REQUIRE AT THE HOSPITAL REOPEN
IT INPATIENT BEDS BEFORE CAN
REOPEN IT'S ALL PATIENTS
SERVICES
SO THIS BILL IS A VERY NARROWLY
CRAFTED PIECE OF LEGISLATION
THAT ALLOWS THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
THE AUTHORIZED OUT PATIENT
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHILE THE
HOSPITAL'S INPATIENT SERVICES
ARE SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF THE
FIRE. DAMAGE WE'VE WORKED WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE THE AGENCY

CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PROVIDER OF
INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT. MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES BOTH WITHIN
VENTURA AND SANTA BARBARA

TERMS OF LEADERSHIP OF THIS
BODY.
INTERNALLY AND REPRESENTING THIS
HOUSE
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD. I'VE HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING.
AS PRESIDENT PRO TEM DALY OWNS
MAJORITY LEADER. IT HAS BEEN A
PRIVILEGE.
IT'S BEEN WORK BUT IT'S ALSO
BEEN A FRIENDSHIP AND I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT
CONTINUING FRIENDSHIP.
BEYOND HIS TENURE AS PRO TEM.
I'M GONNA MENTION JUST A COUPLE
OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF THIS CAUCUS I
KNOW SOME OTHER MEMBERS ALSO
WANT TO BUT ACHIEVEMENTS ALL
UNDER THE LEADERSHIP.
OF OUR LEADER KEVIN DE LEóN.
AS MANY VIEW REMEMBER.
HAD THE HONOR OF CO AUTHORING
THE END OF LIFE OPTION ACT WHICH
SENATOR WOKE IN ASSEMBLY MEMBER
EGGMAN. SENATOR WELL CAN I MET
EARLY IN THE PROCESS WITH THE
PRO TEM.
LAID OUT THE ISSUE THE CONCERN
AND WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN
TERMS OF COMPASSIONATE.
AND OF LIFE IN THE DYING
PROCESS.
APPROACH HIM EMBRACED THIS
HE ASKED SOME FOCUSED QUESTIONS
AND.
GAVE US FREE REIGN TO SPELL OUT
SECURE THE SUPPORT THAT WE WOULD
NEED I THINK HE DID OFFER A
LITTLE SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE
UPHILL FIGHT AHEAD OF US. BUT
HAVING HIS SUPPORT IN HIS
ENCOURAGEMENT.
GOT US OFF ARE ON THE RIGHT FOOT
TO A GOOD START WE ACHIEVED
SOMETHING HISTORIC FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA WE COULDN'T OF
DONE IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF
THE PRO TEM. AND I THINK YOU FOR
THAT. KEVIN AS DO MANY
CALIFORNIANS WHO WILL NEVER KNOW
YOUR ROLE IN THAT OUR ROLE IN
THAT BUT WHOSE FAMILIES ARE THE
BENEFICIARIES.
AND I'LL JUST CONCLUDE OTHERS
WILL POINT TO OTHER
ACHIEVEMENTS.
BUT I THINK FOR ME WHEN I THINK
OF KEVIN'S LEADERSHIP.
ONE OF THE REMARKABLE
ACHIEVEMENTS.
WITH HIS ABILITY TO LEAD.
EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY ON
CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND TO LINK.
THE CRISIS THE VERY REAL CRISIS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE TO THE
PARTICULAR. IMPACTS ON
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND TO
REMOVE A BARRIER OF SOMEHOW
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES BEING
COASTAL WERE BEING OF A CERTAIN
CLASS STRAT IN THIS STATE IN THE
SAY NO FRIENDS. LOOK AT WHO ARE
THE VICTIMS WHO WERE MORE
ADVERSELY IMPACTED PERHAPS THAN
ANY CALIFORNIANS ARE THOSE
LIVING IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF AIR
QUALITY IN TERMS OF PROXIMITY.
DOT TO THOROUGHFARES WHETHER
IT'S AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION.
OR TRANSPORTATION SO HE'S
CREATED BOTH THE NATIONAL
ATTENTION AND RECOGNITION OF
THAT NEXUS
NOT IT'S BEEN RECOGNIZED
INTERNATIONALLY FOR THAT
LEADERSHIP.
AND I JUST THINK IT WILL HONOR
TO THE BENEFIT OF CALIFORNIANS
IN OUR NATION FOR YEARS TO COME
AS WE BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS OF
CLASS AND RACE. IN RECOGNIZING
WE INHABIT A SINGLE PLANET AND
HE'S PROVIDED LEADERSHIP. TO
IMPROVE THAT PLANET KEVIN ON

A HALF YEARS REMINISCENT
PROTEOME IN S. SENATE REPUBLICAN

THING THE LEGACY THAT WE LEAVE
OUR AS WE MOVE ON IN OUR CAREERS

FRIENDSHIPS. ARE TRUST
ACCOUNTABILITY FRIENDSHIP SO YOU
CERTAINLY MARKED OUT.
.
IN TERMS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP ON
BEHALF OF THE SENATE REPUBLICANS
LET ME SAY. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE YOU PUBLIC SERVICES BOTH
THE PROTEOMICS BEYOND A CERTAIN
THE YOUR SERVICE IN THE
ASSEMBLY.
OF THOSE MANY MANY YEARS YOU'VE
DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC.

AND CONSISTENT IN I THINK
EVERYONE IN THIS. CHAMBER WILL
UNDERSTAND THAT KEVIN HAS BEEN A
FIGHTER A CHAMPION FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT YOU REPRESENTING
YOUR DISTRICT. YOU WILL BE
SORELY MISSED BY THEM I'M SURE
SO BEST WISHES TO YOU GODSPEED

LEADER.
TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO SENATOR
CANNELLA.
DAVIS PRESIDENT PROVIDE BACK TO
YOU WHICH IS UNUSUAL TYPES BIG.
TO MR DE LEóN.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE TURN
THIS MICRO THIS IS AWKWARD.*
SO A* PERSPECTIVE ENOUGH FOR
YEARS BEFORE I WAS ELECTED TO
THE SENATE HE WAS IN THE
ASSEMBLY. AYE HE WAS CERTAIN
WITH TOM BERRYHILL TIME AND.
THEY WILL TRY TO GET A PARK
BOND AND I WAS THE MAYOR OF A
LOCAL CITY.
SIX SERIES THANK YOU WHICH IS
YOU PICK CRACK JOKES ABOUT
AUTHORITY SUCH A GREAT
COMMUNITY.
WILL KIM FLEW INTO A PLANE AND
AND.
HINTS ON WHAT LOOKED AT WHERE
THIS PARK WAS GONNA BE.
BECAUSE KEVIN AND TOM WORKING ON
THAT DEAL TOGETHER A AS I
UNDERSTAND IT KEVIN ASKED FOR
TOM SUPPORT. WHICH WAS UNUSUAL
AT THE TIME BUT.
THEY AGREED AND AND HOW THEY
CAME DOWN AND SAW THE PARK I
THINK WE HAD A.
MARCHING BAND AND ALL THE THINGS
A SMALL TOWNS HAVE FOR PEOPLE
THAT ARE IMPORTANT COME TOWARDS
HIM. BUT KIM WAS VERY GRACIOUS
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY
WERE ABLE TO TO TO WORK THAT
DEAL. WE GOT PROBABLY MORE MONEY
THAT WE'VE EVER HAD FOR A PARK
FACILITY IN OUR AREA WHICH IS A
IT WAS A BIG DEAL FOR US.
I THINK IT GOES TO KEVIN'S
CHARACTER AND I'VE I'VE BEEN
FORCED WE BOTH COLLECTED THE
SENATE SAME TIME. AND WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO TO DO A LOT OF THINGS
TOGETHER AND YOU KNOW BUT I KNOW
SOME FOLKS ON THE SIDE OR
EXCITED ABOUT SOME THE STUFF
WE'VE DONE. BUT THERE WAS A OF A
KIND OF A. I THOUGHT IN
SACRAMENTO THAT IF SOMEONE SAYS
THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON THEIR WORD
THEIR LINE. AND AT THE END OF
THE DAY IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN
AND IT'S GOING TO BE.
OVERTURNED OR ARE JUST NOT
GONNA HAPPEN.
I WILL SAY EVERY SINGLE TIME
KEVIN HAS GIVEN HE WITH HIS WORD
ON ON SOMETHING IN SOMETHING
THAT. IS HARD TO DELIVER QUITE
FRANKLY HE HAS ALWAYS DELIVERED
EVERY SINGLE TIME I THINK.
THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US WE'VE
WITH A TIME AND IN OUR COUNTRY
AND. COST LESS WAS SORT OUR
STATE BUT STILL OUR COUNTRY WITH
HER SO MUCH TENSION.
THERE'S NO TRUST WHATSOEVER
NOBODY CAN WORK TOGETHER
REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS BY KEVIN
HAS HAS LED BY EXAMPLE IN THE
SENATE AND. AND I WALK AWAY.
BUT VERY FOND MEMORIES OF
WORKING WITH YOU AND IT'S FUNNY
TOO. WE LIVE A TIME WE JUDGE
SOMEBODY BY THEIR POLITICS NOT
BY WHO THEY ARE. AND I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO TO.
I MIGHT THINK THAT WERE FRIENDS
I BILLS TO ALLOW TIME WITH
KEVIN.
AND AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S
ANYBODY IN THIS CHAMBER THAT HAS
A MORE HMBLE BEGINNINGS IN
KEVIN DELEO.
BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I'M
SORRY THAT YOU'RE NOT THAT CLOSE
OF A FRIEND WITHIN YOU SHOULD
GET TO KNOW HIM. AND HEAR ABOUT
HIS HIS UP BRINGING AND. WHAT HE
HAD TO GO THROUGH WHAT HIS MOM
WENT THROUGH ME IT IS JUST SO
INSPIRED AND TO THINK?
THAT THIS PERSON HAS BECOME THE
PRO TEM OF I THINK OF THE
GREATEST STATE IN THE GREATEST
COUNTRY THE WORLD SPEAKS VOLUMES
ABOUT WHO HE IS AND AND MAY
BECOME U. S. SENATOR. I THINK
THAT'S JUST.
I JUST THINK IT SPEAKS VOLUMES
ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IN
THIS COUNTRY.
IF YOU WORK HARD IF YOU KEEP
YOUR WORD IF YOU DO ALL THE
THINGS ARE SUPPOSE TO DO. AND I
WILL SAY IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG
LOSS TO THIS CALIFORNIA STATE
SENATE WE LOSE KEVIN SCOOBY
LOSSES PRO TEM NO DISRESPECT OR
NEXT HOTEL. BUT IT'S GONNA BE A
BIG LOSS TO THE SENATE WHEN YOU
WALK AWAY FROM THE CHAMBERS AND
I'VE ENJOYED SERVING WITH.
THANK YOU SENATE CANNELLA.

.
YES AND THAT POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
ABOUT EVERYBODY WORKS WITH. A
ONE OTHER THINGS.
I WANNA I WANNA DRAWN IS HIS
SENSE OF.
SUPPORTING OUR SOCIAL JUSTICE.
CONSISTENTLY.
WITH IMMIGRANTS AND ESPECIALLY
PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES.
SERGIO LEONE HAS WORKED HARD.
FOR THE PEOPLE. THAT HAVE
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND
WE HAD THAT LANDMARK.
THE DECISION LAST YEAR TO FUND.
THE PROGRAMS FOR DEVELOPMENT
DISABLED. ALSO WE WE.
.
WE DID A LOT ON THE HOUSING
PROBLEM.
SP TWO AND THREE.
THE HOUSING PACKAGE NO PLACE
LIKE HOME. COMMITMENT TO
STEPPING FORWARD.
WHERE AND?
LOT OF OTHER OTHER GOVERNMENT
INSTITUTIONS DID NOT THEY DID
NOT STEP FORWARD.
SO HE PUT IS.
.
POLITICAL.
.
CORD BEHIND.
GETTING.
HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS.
HELPING SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS.
AND OF COURSE.
I CALLED ON EVERYBODY'S
ATTENTION WHEN I CALL.
THE SLEEPLESS IN SACRAMENTO
OCCASION.
WHERE ARE?
WE HAD THE KIND OF SHAKE COME A
FEW TIMES.
STAY AWAY.
THE CONTINUED NEGOTIATE.
ON GETTING S. B. ONE APPROVED.
HE WAS LITERALLY.
ON HIS FEET.
FOR.
I THINK YOU HAD TWO OR THREE
STRAIGHT DAYS
WITHOUT SLEEP TRYING TO GET
THAT.
PULLED TOGETHER SO. WHAT PEOPLE
DON'T REALIZE HOW HARD IT WAS
AND HE WAS KIND OF WOBBLING
AROUND HERE? AT THE FINISH AND.
WE MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE
OF COURSE.
BECAUSE KEVIN PUT OUT ALL THOSE
EXTRA. TALENTS HE HAS FOR.
EXCLUDING A DEAL. GETTING
NEGOTIATIONS DONE SO.
THANK YOU KEVIN AND NAM.
WE'RE GONNA.
WE'RE GONNA SEE GREAT THINGS
FROM KEVIN WOULD NO MATTER WHERE
HE GOES AND.

TWELVE YEARS IT'S BEEN.
.
ONE HECK OF A RIDE THANK YOU.
MAYBE CENTER DOWN.
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE
FLOOR OVER NOW TO SENATOR PAINE.
WELL THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.
YEAH I I DON'T QUITE HAVE AS
LONG A HISTORY WITH. OUR PRO TEM
KEVIN DE LEóN AYE. RELIEF ONLY
REALLY GOT TO KNOW HIM ALL THAT
OF COURSE I HEARD OF HIS.
FRIEND.
PRIOR BY CERTAIN ASSEMBLY BUT
UNTIL I GOT TO THE STATE SENATE.
AND I SAID I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE
THOUGHT OF ME EITHER WHEN I
SHOWED UP.
I DID REALIZE THAT I WAS
ACTUALLY STARTING OFF IN THE
SENATE SERVING WITH THEIR FIRST
EP I PRO TEM.
AND HISTORY IS A CALIFORNIA.
I'M NOT SURE HE WAS WITH HIS
SHARING OUT ANYBODY THAT EITHER.
SO SO CERTAINLY THAT'S BEEN
INSPIRATIONAL AND EXCITING.
BUT CERTAINLY COMING HERE TO
THE STATE SENATE.
KNOW WHY THINGS I WAS STRUCK IS
NOT JUST BY.
OUR PRO TEM KEVIN'S.
VISION BECAUSE CERTAINLY WE HAVE
A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN. TALK ABOUT
REALLY BIG IDEAS.
BUT ACTUALLY IN TERMS OF
ACTUALLY MAKING THINGS COME
TOGETHER SO CAN CARRY THEM OUT
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THINGS
THAT I'VE BEEN PARTICULAR
IMPRESSED ABOUT.
MY IN THESE PAST I GUESS THREE
AND A HALF YEARS KEVIN BUT WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO TO TAKE
THE BIG IDEAS THAT BLOCKING FOR
TALKING ABOUT. AND AND TURNING
THEM INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN
ACTUALLY BE REAL.
AND SO WHETHER IT'S IDEAS THAT.
WE'VE HAD THIS MEMBERS AND I
WANT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AND HELPING US DO
LANDMARK WORK ON VACCINATION.
BUT ALSO IN CARRYING OUT THE
IDEAS AND FIGURE HOW WE ALL PULL
TOGETHER COME TOGETHER TO MAKE
SOME REALLY BIG THINGS HAPPEN
AND I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE AND
TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS BUT.
FOR EXAMPLE YOU KNOW WE TRY TO
GET.
PROVE MEDICAL ACCESS
STRAIGHTENED GREAT RECESSION
POINT THIRTEEN WE MADE A COT
ACTUALLY. IN RESPONSE
AND THEN WITH ECONOMY GETTING
BETTER.
WE'VE HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH A
CONVINCING. THE GOVERNOR AND
OTHERS TO TRY TO IMPROVE THAT
SITUATION AND EVEN WHEN PEOPLE
GO OUT TO THE BALLOT GET SOME
MONEY SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO GET.
DIVERTED A LITTLE BIT BUT. OUR
PRO TEM FOUGHT HARD AND
SUPPORTED. AYE BEING SURE THAT
THOSE FUNDS FOR PROP FIFTY SIX
ARE GOING TO IMPROVE.
PROVIDER RATES BUT NOT FOR THE
PROVIDERS FOR THE ACCESS ISSUE
BECAUSE AFTER ALL HOME WE SAID
WE GONNA IMPLEMENT AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT.
SPAN COVERAGE WE NEED BE SURE
PEOPLE COULD ACTUALLY GOES FIND
SOMEONE TO SEE.
AND SO I WANNA THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR
STEADFASTNESS IN MAKING THAT
HAPPEN.
IN ADDITION OF COURSE WITH LONG
TERM CARE YOU KNOW OUR H. ASSIST
PROGRAM IS A VITAL PROGRAM TO
ENSURE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET THE
CARE THEY NEED TO THE FIELD NOT
TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED ACTION.
AS WELL AND SO.
IT WAS OUR PRO TEM KEVIN DE
LEóN WHO OF WORK TO BE SURE WE.
THAT I JUST S..
IT THAT THEY GOT THE FUNDING FOR
THOSE INCREASE WAGE INCREASES WE
NEED TO MAKE HAPPEN IN THE STATE
AND THE AND THE SICK DAYS AS
WELL WITH SENATOR LAND AS BILL

CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF MAKING
THINGS HAPPEN AND BIG IDEAS.
SOCIAL SECURITY WAS A VERY LONG
TIME AGO WITH.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S.
AND.
AS WE ARE FACING THE CHALLENGES

.
IT WAS A VISION THAT FIRST SAID
WELL. YOU KNOW WAS WE ARE LOSING
OUR
IT'S PEOPLE WORD LOOT AT LOSING
THEIR. PENSIONS OR OTHER FORMS
OF. OF RETIREMENT AND AND IN
THE.
PRIVATE SECTOR HE SAID WELL WE
SHOULD CREATE A PLAN
FOR THOSE WORKERS.
WELL THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AND
PEOPLE THAN TALKING ABOUT THAT
FOR AWHILE. BUT WHO ACTUALLY PUT
TOGETHER A PLAN TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN AND OF COURSE WE HAVE S.
B. ONE TWENTY TWELVE THIRTY FOUR
SECURE CHOICE.
WHICH IS A LANDMARK PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT. BASICALLY IS
ADDRESSING AND VITAL PROBLEM
FACING OUR SENIORS ARE RETIREES.
SOMETHING THAT.
FRANKLY YOU KNOW HADN'T
HAPPENED LEGISLATIVELY SINCE
SOCIAL SECURITY.
SO TALKING ABOUT TAKING AN IDEA
THAT MAYBE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE
BRING ALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER TO
ACTUALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN HAVE A
REAL PLAN TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
AND SO.
IT'S BEEN TRULY AN HONOR TO BE
ABLE TO SERVE WITH YOU KEVIN AND

MR MORLOCK CENTER HERNANDEZ
MISTER LARA SENATOR HILL THERE
SKINNER FLOOR SOURCE.
THANKS SO MUCH I APPRECIATE
BEING ABLE TO JOIN WITH MY
COLLEAGUES
IN MAKING A FEW REMARKS TO
HONOR.
OUR FORTY SEVEN LEADER.
WELL BEFORE SANDY HOOK.
OUR PRO TEM
TOOK A LEADERSHIP ROLE.
TO STOP.
OUR COUNTRIES IN OUR STATE'S GUN
VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC.
AND DO THAT ROLE.
OUR STATE
HAS FAR LESS.
GUN DEATHS.
THE MOST EVERY OTHER STATE IN
THE COUNTRY.
KEVIN RECOGNIZED.
THAT BULLETS
ARE WHAT MAKE GUNS DEADLY.
AND IN DOING SO HE INTRODUCED
THE LEGISLATION FIRST WHEN HE
WAS AN ASSEMBLY AND LATER. IN
THE SENATE SP TWELVE THIRTY
FIVE.
REQUIRE THAT AMMUNITION HAVE
SIMILAR REGULATIONS FOR ITS SALE
AS GUNS WHICH IT DID NOT.
SO THAT WHEN YOU WENT AND BOUGHT
THE AMMUNITION YOU WOULD HAVE TO
BUY IT OF THE LICENSED DEALER.
AND THENYOU WOULD HAVE A
BACKGROUND CHECK AND WOULD YOU
WOULD HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
YOU WERE ELIGIBLE. TO BUY THE
AMMUNITION AS YOU ARE ELIGIBLE
TO BUY A GUN IT WAS LEGALLY
CORRECT FOR YOU TO BUY THAT.
AND TO PROTECT PROTECT US
AGAINST HOMEMADE FIRE ARMS.
OR PRO TEM INTRODUCED S. B.
FORTINO SEVEN.
CAN DEAL WITH THOSE THINGS WE
CALL GHOST GUNS.
REQUIRING THEN SOMEONE WHO
ASSEMBLES.
A FIREARM AT HOME TO HALF DO.
REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE AGAIN GETTING THAT
BACKGROUND CHECK AND ALSO A
SERIAL NUMBER BEING ISSUED FOR
THAT GOES GUN.
OUR PRO TEM ALSO.
ACTED WITH THE SENATE COLLEAGUES
SENATOR HALL SENATOR HANCOCK.
CLOSE LOOPHOLES IN CALIFORNIA'S
ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.
SPECIFICALLY.
TO CARRY LEGISLATION TO
ELIMINATE THE SO CALLED BULLET
BUTTONS WHICH WE HEAR TALK ABOUT
ALL THE TIME NOW. AND OBVIOUSLY
WAS A KEY FACTOR IN THE LAS
VEGAS MASSACRE.
AND ALSO TO PROHIBIT THE
POSSESSION OF LARGE CAPACITY
MAGAZINES THAT HAVE THE ABILITY
TO SHOOT MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS AT
A TIME. IN WHICH WE KNOW. IF
THAT AVAILABILITY WAS LIMITED
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE WOULD NOT SEE THE TYPE OF
MASS SHOOTINGS THAT WE SEE.
AND THAT WE JUST HAPPENED IN
PARKLAND FLORIDA.
SO KEVIN YOUR LEADERSHIP.
ON GUN VIOLENCE WILL BE MISSED.
AND I FOR ONE.
COMMIT TO DO MY VERY BEST

.
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING
KEVIN WHEN WE BOTH RAN FOR THE.
SIX ELECTION TO START SERVING
IN OH SEVEN ALONG WITH JIM BAO
BUT JIM I THINK IT TO REALLY
MEET HIM UNTIL WE STARTED.
SERVING.
AND IT WAS AT THE SOUTHWEST
VOTER REGISTRATION I THINK IN
TWO THOUSAND FIVE THAT SOMEBODY
WHO USE ME THIS GUY RUNNING IN
THE DISTRICT ADJACENT TO MINE.
KEVIN DE LEON.
ARE WE GOT TO MEET EACH OTHER WE
SHOULD EXCHANGE PHONE NUMBERS.
BUT THOSE OF YOU WHO RUN NO THAT
YOU HAVE ALL THE SAME
ENDORSEMENTS YOU GO ADDRESS HERE
USED CPA AND WE ALWAYS READ RAN
INTO EACH OTHER.
BUT ONE THING OCCURRED.
DURING THAT PROCESS.
IS A FRIENDSHIP.
AND RESPECT.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.
WE WENT THROUGH.
A CAMPAIGN TOGETHER BECAUSE WE
BOTH HAD VERY VERY TOUGH
CAMPAIGNS.
AND I CAN REMEMBER THAT EVENING
THAT I GOT ELECTED.
THE NEXT MORNING AND THE FOR ONE
OF THE FIRST PERSON I CALLED.
WITH KEVIN.
AND WE GOT ON THE PHONE WE
TALKED ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGNS IN
WHAT WE WENT THROUGH AND.
IT'S WE BECAME.
CLOSE FRIENDS AND COMRADES.
WE WENT TO THE ASSEMBLY.
AND I REMEMBER JIM REMEMBER THIS
IS WELL WHEN WE WERE WITH KEVIN.
IN MY CONDOMINIUM.
RELENTLESSLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT KEVIN WAS GOING TO BE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
AND AS THE VOTES WERE STARTING
TO FALL AWAY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO HIM
AND SAID I WILL BE WITH YOU TO
THE ABSOLUTE AND.
AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN I KNOW THE
WAY HE WAS DEVASTATED.
BUT IN HINDSIGHT.
I'M ACTUALLY GLAD IT HAPPENED.
BECAUSE HAD TO GOT ELECTED
SPEAKER YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO RUN FOR THE SENATE SEAT.
AND YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.
THINGS WORK OUT.
BUT I WANNA I WANNA JUST.
EXPAND THE LITTLE BIT ABOUT
WHAT.
OUR SENATOR HUESO SAID ABOUT
YOUR UP BRINGING AND.
YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS
THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND THE
STATE?
BECAUSE WHERE ELSE.
BUT THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
IT'S SOMEBODY WITH YOUR HUMBLE
BACKGROUND.
CAN ASPIRE TO BE THE PRESIDENT.
THE STATE SENATE.
AT THE RIGHT TIME IN HISTORY.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
BUT KEVIN ONLY IN THIS COUNTRY
COULD THAT HAPPEN.
BUT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AT KEVIN HAS
DONE SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE.
OUR HISTORICAL.
AND I'D WILL SAY IT'S THE RIGHT
TIME OF HISTORY.
FROM GUNS.
TOO YOU KNOW. RETIREMENT DECLINE

PUBLISHED MEN'S.
THAT YOU'VE ACHIEVED.
THEN YOU HAVE.
USHERED US THROUGH AN ERA.
WHEN WE HAVE BEEN THE MOST
ACCESSIBLE ECONOMICALLY.
HERE IN THIS GREAT STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
SO I WANNA JUST CLOSE BY NUMBER
ONE THANKING YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE.
FOR WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.
FOR BEING ABLE TO SERVE WITH YOU
IN THIS HOUSE.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THIS AND I HOPE YOU AND I
CAN MOVE ON TO THAT NEXT LEVEL.
OUTSIDE OF THIS LEGISLATIVE
BODY.
BUT THERE WE ONE THING THAT I
CAN LEAVE WITH.
WHATEVER OUR FATE IS AFTER THIS
AFTER WE LEAVE SERVING IN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE.
THERE'S ONE THING I CAN BE
ASSURED OF.
THAT I WILL ALWAYS CALL YOU MY
FRIEND AND I WILL ALWAYS TAKE
YOUR CALL.
AN I WANNA WISH YOU ONLY THE
BEST OF LUCK.
AND EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING YOU
DO FROM HERE ON IN THANK YOU
KEVIN.
THANK YOU SENATOR NANNIES.
SIMILAR THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
IT'S QUITE NOW THAT I LOOK AT
HIM ANYWAY SPECTRUM.
HALF.
MEMBERS.
I WANT TO SHARE.
A FEW ANECDOTES OF.
I KEVIN THEN NOW THEY LEóN THAT
YOU MY.
NOT KNOW YOU KNOW I'M I THINK
I'M THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS
FLOOR THAT HAS ACTUALLY WORKED
FOR HIM. AND NOW THIRD WITH HIM
AS EQUALS.
AND SO I GET TO SAY A COUPLE
THINGS TO STOP BEHALF OF YOUR
FORMER STAFF IN THE CURRENT
STAFF.
MEMBERS HE WAS NOTORIOUS FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT.
STAFF MEETINGS AND THE DISTRICT
OFFICE.
AND FOR ALL THOSE OF US IN THE
DO YOU KNOW NOT ONLY DO YOU WORK
THE ENTIRE WEEK.
THE BOSS COMES WORK A FULL DAY
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AND THEN HE
SAID WANTED US OUR COMMAND.
LET'S COME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING A
WARNING REALLY.
YOU WANT TO TALK ON A FRIDAY
NIGHT RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT'S A HABIT THAT I I
LEARNED TO BREAK WHEN I HAD MY
OWN STAFF.
PRINCE I WANT TO JUST GIVE A
SHOUT OUT TO THE STAFF FOR FOR
THEIR WORK BUT I ALSO LEARNED.
SOME GREAT GREAT.
SKILLS FROM THIS MAN.
MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW TO BE AN
APOLOGETIC OF WHO WE ARE AS A
COMMUNITY AND WE ARE AS WORKING
CLASS PEOPLE.
AND TO.
REALLY WORK TWICE AS HARD FOR
THINGS THAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE
AND. I'VE NEVER TOLD THEM THAT
THANK YOU KEVIN FOR ALL THOSE
TIMES.
THAT YOU'VE STEPPED UP EVEN WHEN
I WAS WILLING TO GIVE UP.
WHEN THEY CAME TO. NOT KNOWING
IF WE'RE GONNA GET THE BUDGET TO
ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD IN
CALIFORNIA.
REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS
HAD ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IT WAS
YOU THAT SAID DON'T COME UP WITH
KEEP FIGHTING.
WHEN. I HAD THE CRAZY IDEA IN
PARIS TO TALK ABOUT SORT OF
TRAMPOLINES.
AND THAT WE ARE STILL TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WERE IN A
HARM TO SEE WHERE.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SET THE WAY
BY THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON
THE ENVIRONMENT TO GET ME.
TWO PEOPLE AND THESE ACTIONS AND
BECAUSE OF YOUR WORK AND YOUR
LEADERSHIP. WERE WERE OUT TODAY.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO TAKE. A
MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT THOSE TIMES
THAT.
PEOPLE MY.
NOT KNOW ABOUT KEVIN.
AND WE KNOW HE GREW UP IN A
TOUGH NEIGHBORHOOD WE KNOW.
WHERE HIS PASSION COMES FROM
FROM HIS MOM?
EN AND DOUBLE DOWN AS THEY HAVE
TO FIGHT.
BUT ONE OF MY PROUDEST MOMENTS
IN THE SENATE WAS ACTUALLY
BEFORE HE WAS EVEN PRO TEM.
AND MANY OF YOU GUYS WERE HERE
AND WOMEN WERE HERE ON THE
FLOOR.
WHEN WE BROUGHT UP AB SIXTY
THE DRIVER'S LICENSE BILL.
A BILL THAT WASN'T EVEN HAS.
AND A BILL WHERE THE LATINO
SENATORS AND THIS FLOOR.
GATHERED JUST.
RIGHT ACROSS AND DECIDED THAT WE
WERE GOING TO MOVE THIS SPELL
DESPITE. WHAT THAT COULD NOT?
BELIEVE THAT SPEAKER AT THE TIME
AND THE AUTHOR WANTED TO DO.
BECAUSE WE HAD WAITED FIFTEEN
YEARS AND STILL NOTHING WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND SO WE GATHERED IN THE DIM
CAUCUS MEETING ROOM. AND WE ALL
GOT TOGETHER AND KEVIN SAID
LOOK.
ARE WE PREPARED TO LOSE ON OUR
BILLS FOR THIS ONE BILL.
AND EVERY SINGLE LATINO CAUCUS
MEMBER IN THE SENATE GOT UP AND
SAID ABSOLUTELY.
WE'RE READY TO DO THIS.
AND THAT TO ME.
WAS AGAIN.
LEADERSHIP WRONG LEADERSHIP OR
WE ARE JUMPED IN TOGETHER NOT
KNOWING WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
NOT ONLY TO OUR BILL BUT TO THIS
BILL WE'RE GONNA KICK IT BACK TO
THE ASSEMBLY.
BUT THERE WAS ALSO. THAT POINT
OF PRIDE. WERE LIKE HELL YEAH
WHEN I GET THIS DONE.
WE'RE GONNA DO IT WE HAVE NO
IDEA WHAT THE REPERCUSSIONS ARE
GOING TO BE.
BUT WE'RE GONNA GET IT DONE AND
DOES THIS BILL IS NOT GOING TO
DIE ON THE RED CARPET TODAY.
AND BECAUSE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP
NINETY TO GATHER US ALL
TOGETHER.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DRIVER'S
LICENSE IN THE STATE.
AND IT WAS IN YOUR BILL.
UN HEADLINE THE PRESS
CONFERENCES.
YOU WERE THE MAN THAT MADE THIS
HAPPEN.
AND YOU DID IT NOT CARING ABOUT
ANYTHING BUT THE FACT THAT OUR
COMMUNITY WAS IN DESPERATE NEED.
TO BE ABLE TO BE RECOGNIZED
AND YOU MADE THAT HAPPEN.
ANOTHER TIME MEMBERS FOR THOSE
OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY
TRAVELED WITH KEVIN UP AND DOWN
THE STATE.
WORKING ON GETTING HIM VOTES FOR
PRO TEM.
AND THE FIRST MEETING THAT ANGLE
SO WELL AS YOU RECALL KEVIN.
AND HE WAS A LITTLE DOWN.
AND I SAID YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE
AN HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE TO SAN
DIEGO SO MANY GIVE YOU THAT TIME
TO GET OVER IT. AND GET OVER
YOURSELF BECAUSE WE GOT A
POTENTIAL WE GOT A WIN.
AND IT WAS THAT GOOD OLD THOUGH
NOT AS LOUD AYE TOUGH TALK THAT
YOU KNOW YOU NEED AT THAT TIME.
AND WE MADE IT HAPPEN.
BUT IT WAS ON CHRISTMAS EVE
MEMBERS AND WE WERE ACTUALLY
DRIVING BACK FROM SAN DIEGO. AND
I ASK HAVE BEEN.
WHAT DO I DROP YOU OFF IT'S
CHRISTMAS EVE?
AND HE'S LIKE WELL JUST DROP ME
OFF MY HOUSE I MY DAUGHTERS IN
SAN JOSE IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME TO
GO BACK TO SAN DIEGO.
AND.
MUSIC I'M GONNA HANG OUT OF MY
HOUSE.
AND AYE SO HOW NO IT'S CHRISTMAS
EVE.
YOU NEED TO BE WITH FAMILY.
YOU NEED TO BE AROUND PEOPLE YOU
KNOW THROW PEOPLE IT'S CHRISTMAS
EVE.
FIRST IF YOU DON'T MIND I HAVE
TO WE HAVE TO MAKE A PIT STOP IN
IRVINE AT AT TOYS R. US WE HAVE
TO. IGHT FOR LAST MINUTE TOYS
FOR MY NIECE AND NEPHEWS.
AND TOOK KEVIN TIME TO MY
BROTHER'S HOUSE.
AND I THINK THAT WAS THE FIRST
TIME ACTUALLY BROUGHT A GUY TO.
MY FAMILY'S HOUSE ON HOLIDAY.
THAT'S A BIG DEAL ANOTHER THINK
ABOUT IT YOU KNOW.
AND. QUICKLY MY MOM OF COURSE A
GOOD LEFT IN A MOM MADE UP
CERVANTES TAMALES HE EIGHT. HE
SAT TO WATCH TV AND THEN
COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT.
NEARLY FELL ASLEEP WITH HIS HEAD
DOWN AND MY NIECE WAS POKING AT
HIM FOR LIKE FIFTEEN MINUTES
LIKE WHO IS THIS GUY.
AND IT WAS THERE WHEN I SOME
COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED.
AND STILL TIRED OF JUST WORKING
THAT I AGAIN. MONIQUE GAIN THE
RESPECT WHICH AGAIN THE RESPECT
OF MY ENTIRE FAMILY.
BECAUSE YOU WERE SO WILLING TO
SACRIFICE EVERYTHING AND WORK
HARD.
TO GET WHAT YOU WANTED BECAUSE
WE KNOW WHAT WE WANTED TO
ACCOMPLISH.
AND SO.
YOU KNOW AS.
LEGISLATORS AND AS MEMBERS.
FOR SOME OF US HAVE COME TO HARD
TO BE VULNERABLE.
AND TO SAY THAT.
YOU KNOW THE HIPPIES DE IS AND
THE ARTICLES DON'T.
AFFECT YOU BUT THEY DO BECAUSE
WORK HUMAN RIGHT AND SO.
IN FOR KEVIN I KNOW IT'S
DIFFICULT TO BE IN THAT STATE.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO A TO BE
VULNERABLE.
AND SO YOU KNOW WE TEND TO AVOID
THAT THAT THE DIFFICULT STUFF.
BUT WHEN TO SEE.
KEVIN'S PERSONAL SIDE
INVULNERABLE CITING CHRISTMAS.
WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY
IMPORTANT. BUT WHEN.
THE ARTICLE WAS GONNA COME OUT
ABOUT HIS FAMILY HIS UP
BRINGING.
AND. YOU KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT
HOW DIFFICULT THAT WAS GONNA BE.
TOUGH FOR HIM OWNING THAT.
FOR HIM FINALLY BEING ABLE TO
OPEN UP AND TO TALK TO. EVERY
CALIFORNIAN ABOUT WHO HE WAS.
NOT SOMEBODY WHO'S PERFECT
ALTHOUGH HE PRETENDS TO BE WITH
THAT HAIR. THEM ALVIS THE ALVIS
TONE YOU NOW.
THOUGH. BUT.
COULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MORE
ABOUT YOU KEVIN WAS ACTUALLY WAY
MORE ENDEARING AND INJURED YOU
TO SO MANY MORE CALIFORNIANS AS
PEOPLE TEXTED ME PERSONALLY
SAYING. THAT WAS MY STORY THAT
IS ME.
AND TO SEE THAT WAS REALLY
INSPIRATIONAL FOR SO MANY OF US.
AND.
AS YOU MOVE FORWARD AND
CONTINUE.
YOUR JOURNEY KNOW THAT I'M
PROUD THAT TO HAVE BEEN WITH YOU
IN THAT CAR AND IN THOSE LONG.
PLANE RIDES TRYING TO STRATEGIZE
ON HOW WE GONNA TALK TO THIS
MEMBER AND THAT MEMBER.
AND TO SEE YOU AT A PLACE WHERE.
WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED AND YOU'VE
ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH MADE IT ALL
WORTH IT.
THOSE TIMES AND WE'RE DR DRIVING
ALL OVER THE STATE OF FIND
EVERYWHERE. BUT YOU KNOW I'LL
I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU WITH.
SOMETHING THAT MY MOM ALWAYS
USED FAYE. AND WHEN WE WERE KIDS
IS THAT I THINK CROSS THIS
BORDER SO THAT MY CHILDREN COULD
BE MEDIOCRE.
I CAME HERE SO THAT THEY COULD
PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS OF THE
WORLD.
AND I KNOW YOUR MOM RIGHT NOW

THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.
AND I'M PROUD TO CALL YOUR
FRIEND FOR LIFE FROM THANK YOU.
ONE OF MY JOBS SIMILAR THING TO.
WITH A TURN THE FLOOR OVER NOW
TO SENATOR HILL THANK YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT AND I WILL BE BRIEF.
UNDERSTANDING THE TIME OF.
YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS.
BORN AND RAISED AND GREW UP IN
SAN FRANCISCO I'VE ALWAYS FELT
THAT THE GREATEST GIFT MY
PARENTS EVER GAVE ME WAS THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
TO GROW UP IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH
THE DIVERSITY THAT CULTURAL
DIFFERENCES IN A REALLY ENRICHED
MY LIFE.
THERE WAS ONE THING MISSING IN
ALL OF THAT AND I NEVER HAD OR
DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION FOR
THOSE DIFFERENCES.
FOR THE DISTINCTIONS OF THOSE
DIFFERENT RACES THOSE ECONOMIC
GUY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
THE WAY OTHERS LIVED THROUGHOUT
THE STATE.
I SAW SAN FRANCISCO.
IS THAT MICROCOSM.
NOT AS LIFE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE
LIVE
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
AND THEN I MET YOU KEVIN.
AND YOU.
BROUGHT TO LIFE FOR ME.
THE DISTINCTION.
OF THOSE RACIAL DIFFERENCES
THOSE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES THIS
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THE
SOCIAL INJUSTICE.
THAT WE WOULD SEE IN CALIFORNIA
ANTIPHONARY.
ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE THAT WE
WOULD SEE AND EXPERIENCE IN
THOSE PLACES.
I NEVER REALLY.
SAW THAT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT.
DIDN'T KNOW IT EXISTED AT THE
LEVEL THAT IT DID.
BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR PASSION.
YOU COMMIT. YOUR COURAGE
THE VISION THAT YOU HAD FOR
CALIFORNIA.
YOU BROUGHT IT HOME.
HE BROUGHT IT HOME FOR ALL OF
YOU BROUGHT IT HOME FOR ME.
YOU MADE THIS STATE.
THE GREATEST STATE IN THE NATION
IN THE WORLD.
YOU'VE MADE A MUCH BETTER PLACE.
AND YOU MADE ME A BETTER PERSON.
THANK YOU CAN.
THANK YOU SENATOR HILL CENTER
AROUND THE FLOORS.
THE HOURS LATE AND I JUST WANTED
TO POINT OUT ONE OTHER THING
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HIS BOLDNESS
HIS VISION AND HIS EXECUTION IS
LEADERSHIP. THE ROLE THAT HE'S
PLAYED IN HELPING TO SHAPE OUR
STATE OUR POLICIES ON
ENVIRONMENT CIVIL RIGHTS HEALTH
CARE. IMMIGRATION AND GUIDANCE.
ABA KEVIN IS ALSO SOMEONE WHO
SHOWS EXTRAORDINARY FLEXIBILITY
INABILITY TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS
WITH PEOPLE FROM EVERY WALK OF
LIFE AND FROM ALL SORTS OF
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES I'VE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON. THE PRISON
YARD AT FOLSOM PRISON.
WITH KEVIN AND SEE HIS
INTERACTIONS WITH PRISONERS
THERE I'VE BEEN I'VE EVER TO DO
SO WITH KEVIN. IN LOS PINOS IN
THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO.
AND I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY IN
THE ROOM JUST OVER HERE WHERE WE
BRING IN HEADS OF STATE
MINISTERS GOVERNORS FROM OTHER
PARTS OF THE WORLD. AND TO SEE
KEVIN'S ABILITY TO ENGAGE AND
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE FROM SO MANY
DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE FROM SO
MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES AND
COUNTRIES.
I KNOW THAT THOSE DIPLOMATIC
SKILLS WILL BE BROUGHT TO BEAR
FOR THE GOOD OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. AND IT'S
ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT TRADING
ASPECT I THINK WE OUGHT TO
CELEBRATE ABOUT KEVIN TODAY.
I THINK.
SINISTER.
I MAKE KEVIN DAILY ON MY VERY
FIRST DAY WORKING FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. I WAS A YOUNG
STAFFER WORKING FOR SENATOR
PAVLEY.
BUT ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMIT.
WE'RE AT A BEAUTIFUL STRETCH OF
CALIFORNIA COAST.
AND.
EACH CHANGE THE WAY I THOUGHT
ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
MAKING ON THAT DAY BECAUSE HE
SAID.
WE'RE ALL BRAINSTORMING HOW TO
LIMIT OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND
PROTECT OUR COASTLINES AND.
PROTECT DOLLAR CLEANERS IS MY
PEOPLE DON'T GO TO THE BEACH
TAKES THEM TWO AND A HALF HOURS
TO TAKE THE BUS FROM MY DISTRICT
OUT TO.
THE MALIBU WHERE I GOT TO GROW
UP AND SERVE.
AND GET USED TO A LIFE THAT IS
ENRICHED BY.
THE BOUNTY CALIFORNIA AND HE
CHANGED THE WAY I THOUGHT THAT
DAY AND I THINK HE PERMANENTLY
CHANGED.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONVERSATION
IN THIS COUNTRY. BASED ON HIS
OWN EXPERIENCE AND IS A BILLION
PUSHED THROUGH AND UNITE
COMMUNITIES ALL OVER THIS STATE.
AND HE'S A BIG PART THE REASON I
RAN FOR OFFICE BECAUSE.
THESE FIGHTS ARE NOT DONE AND WE

FULFILL YOUR LEGACY THERE BUT. I
WILL SAY AFTER LEAVING THAT DAY
OUT ON THE COAST.
MANY MANY YEARS LATER.

HAVE MOTIVATED ME ALL OF YOU WHO
QUITE FRANKLY ALTHOUGH WAS NEVER
VERBALLY DIRECTED.
YOU GAVE ME THAT SPACE.
YOU GIVE ME THAT PERMISSION.
YOU'LL GIVE ME THE PERMISSION.
AND WITHOUT PERMISSION.
I HOPE LEAVE HIS BODY.
BUT IS BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU.
COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER.
WHAT I WOULD SAY TO MY
COLLEAGUES TO MY EXPERIENCE AS A
LEADER IN THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL
SENATOR AS WELL TO?
BECAUSE ALTHOUGH PRO TEM LEADER
THE SENATE'S.
I'M ONE OF YOU.
I'M AN EQUAL WHAT ONE VOTE.
ON THE SENATE FLOOR.
WHAT I WOULD SAY TO MY
COLLEAGUES BOTH?
ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE AND THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE.
THIS MOMENT IS FLEETING.
I CAN REMEMBER.
COUNTLESS NIGHTS AND DAYS WHEN I
THOUGHT THE DAYS AND NIGHTS
WOULD NOT AND.
BUT WE JUST PHYSICALLY AND
MENTALLY EXHAUSTED.
THAT WOULD NEVER.
AND THEN OTHER.
SNAP OF A FINGER YOU WAKE UP.
YOU SAY MY GOD.
IT WENT SO QUICKLY.
AND WE DON'T BELIEVE IT WHEN
THEY TELL US THAT.
BUT IT'S TRUE THERE'S A REASON
WHY TO TELL US THAT.
BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS MOMENT.
IN SEASON.
WERE IN A TERM LIMITED ERA.
AND EVEN FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE
TWELVE YEAR TERM LIMIT AREAS BE
VERY CAREFUL.
BECAUSE YOU WILL WAKE UP.
AND YOU REALIZE MY GOD.
I ONLY HAVE FOUR YEARS LEFT.
AND IT REALLY COMPANIES AS MUCH
AS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO
ACCOMPLISH.
BECAUSE THEY ONE TOLD ME BE
MEASURED IN YOUR APPROACH.
YOU HAVE LOTS OF TIME.
IT'S GONNA GO LIKE THIS.
TO SEIZE THAT MOMENT IS WHAT I
SAY.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
SEIZE THAT MOMENT.
AND ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SAY
TO IS.
BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN A HIGHLY
POLITICIZED ENVIRONMENT.
THE HIGHLY POLITICIZED
ENVIRONMENT

WHITE HOUSE IN WASHINGTON WE'VE
ALWAYS LIVED IN A VERY.
POLARIZED ENVIRONMENTS.
WHETHER IT'S US INDIVIDUALLY.
WHETHER IT'S OUR STAFF MEMBERS

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MISTAKES WE HAVE IN THIS CULTURE
HERE.
IN THE STATE CAPITAL.
WE SHOULD BUILD A MAKE MISTAKES.
LEARN FROM THOSE MISTAKES.
GET UP AND CLEAN YOURSELF OFF
AND MOVE FORWARD.
THIS IS ONE OF VERY RARE.
CULTURES OUR ECOSYSTEMS THAT
EXIST.
ANYWHERE IN THIS NATION.
WHERE?
MISTAKES ARE REWARDED. THEIR
POUNCED ON.
SO WANT TO SAY TO MY COLLEAGUES
YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.
THAT'S OKAY.
BILL LET ALONE GET ON TOP YOU.
MAKE MISTAKES
NO MATTER HOW MINOR THEY MAY BE.
YOU KNOW TRYING NOT TO MAKE BIG
ONES OBVIOUSLY.
BUT IT'S OKAY SO YOU'LL LEARN
AND GROW FROM THEM.
LASTLY I WANT TO SAY.
OUR FRIENDSHIPS.
FRIENDSHIPS MATTER.
NOT JUST POLITICAL TRANSACTIONAL
FRIENDSHIPS.
BUT FRIENDSHIPS MATTER.
REMEMBER THAT ON THE DEMOCRATIC
SIDE I WOULD SEND OUT THESE
EMAILS AND I WOULD. KEEP THE.
THOSE WHO JUST LEFT THE SENATE
I'LL KEEP THEM IN THE EMAIL OPEN
SOME FOLKS IT'S UNKNOWN Y. TO
