California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released the following transcript of his June 10 speech, titled “Governor Newsom’s Address to California: Democracy at a Crossroads.” I want to say a few words about the events of the last few days. This past weekend, federal agents conducted large-scale workplace raids in and around Los Angeles.

Elected officials, as well as social media influencers, had wide-ranging opinions of the governor’s prime time address warning that democracy is in danger.
