California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered a (prerecorded?) formal address to California on Tuesday evening amid ongoing Los Angeles riots.
A desperate Newsom, who is actually hunkered down in LA right now, text Fox News host Sean Hannity and begged him to cover his address to California.

However, Newsom’s formal address was off to a bad start because there was no audio.
CBS News noted there was a problem with the audio:

Fox News also noted there was a problem with Newsom’s audio:
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom’s staff can’t even set up a stream properly as his “Major Announcement” has NO AUDIO.
If they can’t do this correct, what makes anyone believe they can run California at all?

Newsom attacked President Trump and accused him of declaring a war and assaulting the First Amendment:

Gavin Newsom pretended to tear up as he encouraged the illegal aliens and rioters to keep fighting.
“We all need to stand up and be held to a higher level of accountability,” Newsom said.
“If you exercise your First Amendment rights, please do it peacefully. I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress and fear,” he said.
“What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment,” Newsom added.

Newsom’s dumpster fire address to California comes after a federal judge declined to grant him an emergency restraining order on Trump’s use of the military in response to the Los Angeles riots.
