opening tomorrow. I only caught the second half of the interview so I didn't catch where in California this person was from, but the way he was spewing out anti-medical talking points such as if you are young and healthy you have nothing to worry about, I had the impression that he was more like one of the anti-lockup protesters, wanting to present himself as a "hero", more than the "financial hardship" he said he was doing it for.
Another reason I suspected that is because Baldwin brought up that he would be subject for up to a 1000 dollar fine for doing such, and he indicated if he was arrested he would open up the next also.
We have someone making a public appearance that he is going to violate the law, and he called Newsom out by name, and someone is going to have to show me evidence that this isn't a political stunt from the right wing, before I believe it is something else

(2,871 posts)thought he was a jerk, the unspoken message from him was that if you are older or sick he just doesn't care. Did seem like a sort of pointless interview...
