Why I'm Leaving California.

big announcement are you ready for it big big big big big announcement so i have been asked 1 000 times over the past few years why in the world are you in california like why why would daley wire stay in california i mean this place has turned into a hell hole all you do all day long on the show is just complain about how bad california's been and the answer was that i've been in california literally my entire life except for a three-year stint when i was at harvard law school in boston aside from that i've spent my entire life in california and i love this state it's a beautiful state it's a state with a lot of culture and a lot of fun to it it's it's a great place in terms of activities you got the beach nearby you got disneyland and then over time it just became a hell hole and it has become a hell hole at this point and so yesterday we here at the daily wire announced that we are moving the entire company to nashville so just yesterday governor jerry brown former governor of california from 1975 to 1983 and then again from 2011 to 2019 he said where are you gonna go where are you gonna go you can't you know okay you you say the california's bad where are you gonna go the answer is we are going to nashville we are taking the entire company and we are picking up and we are leaving and we are putting our headquarters in nashville okay that is where the company will now be located we're taking all 75 of our jobs and we're taking our tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue and we are moving all of that outside the state of california and this is specifically and really only due to the crappy governance of the state it is not because we are foreign to the state again i've lived here my entire life my business partner jeremy boring has been here for 20 years my parents have been here longer than i've been alive we're not doing it because we dislike california because we are newbies because we couldn't take the heat anything like that i've been here the whole time we are leaving because this place has become so horribly governed that if you have the means to get out and if you have a company relying on you and if you have employees who are lying on you you are going to leave we are but the tip of the spear we are not the only ones elon musk has already decided to leave the state he'll probably be taking a lot of employees with him over time joe rogan has already left the state we are leaving the state as well again we are taking 75 employees who are based in california and we are moving we have about 100 employees across the country and we are relocating to a state that is not run like garbage tennessee and now did my business partner and i did jeremy and i and caleb robinson our other business partners did we ever think that we were going to be moving this company to nashville no otherwise we wouldn't have built up these big beautiful studios here in los angeles and employed a bunch of people in los angeles and hilariously enough when we announced this to our employees we thought okay a lot of people are going to be very upset about it it turns out far more of our employees are excited about leaving california then would be excited about staying in california because this place has become unlivable not only is the rent too damn high because of all of the garbage zoning regulations here but the quality of life here has degraded radically now i'll be honest with you i had a tough time convincing my wife just to leave california okay and to be frank with you i'm gonna be splitting my time in some different places not just in nashville but the fact is that trying to get my wife to leave california was not an easy task because she too has spent a lot of her life in california she lived in sacramento and now she lives in l.a and she's been in california for a very long time and over the past two years she's looked around and she said okay i guess you're right and the reason for that is perfectly obvious between the city of los angeles deciding that they were going to see the entire city to low-level criminality they're not going to enforce the law they're not going to keep the streets clean they're not going to make it livable for me to allow my children to play outside of our front gate without adult supervision between them allowing the streets to become incredibly dirty and dangerous because here is the reality if i let my kids walk around the neighborhood they will stumble across two open needles during the course of that walk because the city has specifically told law enforcement they can't do anything about the rampant homelessness problem that has plagued los angeles 66 000 homeless people in l.a county every single underpass in l.a has entire living facilities for homeless people this is not by the way sympathy to the homeless many of whom really need serious help they are drug addicted or mentally ill and the city has decided that in the name of freedom they are going to allow the suburbs to be overrun by this homelessness problem that does affect people who are paying their taxes and between that between the fact that they've decided to defund the cops and move away from allowing the police to do their jobs entirely between the increased taxes and the higher levels of crime and the lower levels of cleanliness between the fact that god decided to plague the state with a giant wildfire spate over the last several years apparently it's like i didn't need the help god like i got it i got it i didn't need the signs and the wonders to drive me from california and frankly i'm just hoping that when michael moles looks back at california as we make our way out that he turns around he looks back and he immediately turns into a pillar of salt like that is my dream but whether or not that happens we are leaving and you're going to see more of this again you're going to see a lot of this new york new jersey connecticut you're going to see this in la you're going to see this in san francisco people are going to pick up and they're going to leave and the people who are most likely to leave are the people who can afford to leave let's be honest about this the people who are going to get trapped in los angeles are the people who are lower middle class because they don't have the wherewithal to pick up and leave they don't get to decide honestly where their jobs take place as the head of a company i get to decide where we take our jobs and we are excited to allow our people a better living standard moving to some place like nashville that is not governed like garbage in a red state then forcing them to stay in a place that is very difficult to raise children and to live but blue states for too long have thought that they can govern as badly as they want there will be no consequences that's true to a point and then beyond that point it is no longer true we have reached the breaking point we are leaving and so daily wire will see you in nashville

I agree but Ben is a few years behind the wave. Been happening for years.

As a Texan, I try to as politely as possible remind newcomers why they moved here and ask them to vote to keep it this way.

California has too many trees. I think it’s incredibly ironic that the government of California decided to pin the blame for the fires on “Mother Nature” and not on the ineptitude of politicians. Maybe climate change is man made. But it’s completely irrelevant. Natural disasters have been part of human history since the dawn of time. What’s more obviously man made is bad governance. Politicians are man made, and their ineptitude is the real threat to America.

California is a fire hazard. If you govern a fire hazard state, act responsibly, and take responsibility. How easy it is for the politicians of California to blame it on “Mother Nature” when you know you could’ve prevented it from happening if you would’ve worked to manage the forests property prior

I wonder why Nashville though, been there it’s fun but not great. Wonder if the state offered them some incentives or something

[u/Che4pshoT]

Good move.

I will stay here in CA and continue to publish coronafraud.com and expose all the crap in California. Someone has to do it.

Huge win. Way to go even if it's late.

I live in Oregon, but after some new laws over the last couple years I am closing down my business and moving, which is not a big deal for me, I just thought I was going to die in Oregon. I tend to think this is going to be a trend pretty soon.

Ben’s business is moving to Nashville. Ben and family are moving to Florida.

he should move near his fans in rural alabama with those down to earth working class people that love his show so much
