""Every year, the declinists, the pundits and critics suffering from California derangement syndrome look at this state and try to tear down our progress," Newsom said. "California's success is not by chance it's by design. We've created the conditions where dreamers and doers and misfits and marvelers with grit and ingenuity get to build and do the impossible.""
""Secret police, businesses being raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight, people disappearing, using American cities as training grounds for the U.S. military purposeful chaos emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.""
""In California, we're not silent. You're not silent, you're not hunkering down. This state is providing a different narrative, an operational model, a policy blueprint for others to follow.""

The federal government was described as experiencing a "carnival of chaos," with references to secret police, raids, detentions, shootings, abductions in broad daylight, disappearances, and military-style training in American cities centered at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The state presented its policies as an operational model and policy blueprint for others to follow while acknowledging mixed success on campaign promises and emphasizing housing as a priority.
