So I recently found out that only 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy. Why is this alarming? Well, the single biggest predictors of how long you live and how good you feel while living is your metabolic health. There are lots of factors contributing to the metabolic health crisis, but the good news is that all of them are within our control. That's why I'm using Levels to better understand my own metabolic health and what I can be doing to improve in the short term. I use levels to optimize my energy levels during the day and manage weight in the long term. I'm thinking about the many chronic diseases that are directly linked to metabolic health, including diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer's. Unlike calorie trackers, Levels is a health improvement app that uses AI powered food logging and habit tracking like exercise, sleep and nutrition to give you actionable insights for meaningful change. With continuous glucose monitoring and lab tests available, it offers a more comprehensive view to help you hit your health goals and stay accountable. There's so much information about health out there these days and Levels helps you figure out what will be most impactful for you to focus on to improve your health and reach your personal goals. I personally learned that I was eating foods that were not supporting my health. Levels helped me optimize my meals, focusing on the foods I respond to best. For example, I learned that my morning oatmeal was not ideal and was actually causing me to feel lower energy after eating in the mornings. Level helped me learn. By adding protein, protein and fiber to that meal, I was able to make it much more balanced. Levels is the best place to go to get a comprehensive view of your health. Hit your goals and stay accountable. Right now, Levels is offering our listeners an additional two free months of the LEVELS annual membership when you use our link Levels Link Midas. That's Levels Link Meidas. I don't know how long this offer will last, so if you've been interested in learning more about your metabolic health, now is the time to get started.

At the same time Governor Newsom was doing that, he was also thanking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada. Justin Trudeau said, I spoke with Governor Newsom last night. We both know that Canada and the United States are more than just neighbors. We're friends, especially when times get tough. And then Justin Trudeau went on to talk about the close relationship between California and Canada and Canada offering some of its incredible firefighting resources to the state and to Los Angeles within the state. Governor Newsom responds, grateful for our Canadian neighbors as they lend a helping hand in our time of need. Because that's what you do with allies. You don't threaten them and say we don't need them or we're going to make them the 51st state. You work with your allies. I want to share with this with you as well. This was during the fire as the fires were raging. Governor Newsom was asked by Anderson Cooper to respond to Donald Trump's various lies and attacks, where Donald Trump right away was saying this is all Newsom's fault. Newsom didn't sign a Water Restoration act note. There's no such thing. Newsom didn't not agree to sign anything like that. It was total and utter BS by Donald Trump. Trump kept on referring to news as new scum. Said that Governor Newsom cares more about smelt than people's lives. All total bs. But then you saw all the right wing trolls and even like right wing people parroting the disinformation while Governor Newsom was just trying to do his job. I want you to watch this moment right here. Let's play it.

News Anchor (10:27)

Even ask this question. But the President Elect chose to attack you, blame you for this. One can't even respond to it. I mean it's, you know, people are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts and I know what I want to say. I won't. I stood next to a President of the United States of America today and I was proud to be with Joe Biden and he had the backs of every single person in this community, didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.

Governor Newsom has never shied away from a battle. He's never shied away from a debate. He goes on fox. He goes on and speaks to Sean Hannity and he gives it back. I want to show this moment to you because to me, you know what I've been saying a lot lately, right? You know my acronyms. I go abc Always be campaigning. And one of the other ones I use is dbd. Democrats be Democrats and progressive policies work. While all these magas want to attack California and attack other states that are led by Democratic governors. They usually have better education, better quality of life, lower mortality rates, longer lifespans, much more wealth. And one of the things that Gavin Newsom talks about here is, look, Sean Hannity, first off, you know, what are you trying to, you realize that blue states pretty much fund the red states here. I want you to watch this moment right here because this is what we're going to need in the next four years. Play this clip.

News Anchor (12:13)

This is the oddest way to be the largest economy in the world. What are you arguing for Mississippi's economic policy.

Gavin Newsom (12:19)

Does that mean literally, that's what you're asking me if I wanted.

Political Commentator (12:22)

Great.

Gavin Newsom (12:22)

If I wanted the Kansas policy.

News Anchor (12:24)

I mean, it was a debacle. No economic growth. 71% of the GDP in America are blue counties. I would say 1% of the GDP. Progressive policies.

Advertiser (12:36)

Okay.

Gavin Newsom (12:37)

That are paying high taxes. And 71% of the country, seven of.

News Anchor (12:41)

The top 10 dependent states.

Gavin Newsom (12:43)

Let's say you're right. Let's say you. No, we're subsidizing your state, Sean, because of your policies. I'm in New York. You're not subsidizing anything for me but your philosophy. I'm getting the hell out of New York, though. Mississippi, Alabama, I'm all for it. Over. Over New York or California. Yeah, I love Mississippi, Governor. I'm sure. Look, this is not personal.

Political Commentator (13:03)

I'll show you a few other portions of, I think, highlighting Governor Newsom's debating skills here. Governor Newsom, this is, you know, this was back in November of 2023. Ish. And here he is in this debate with DeSantis defending Biden's policies that actually worked. And, you know, and Biden fixing the issues that were caused by Trump. Watch this. Let's play it.

News Anchor (13:31)

Results matter. Inflation now is down to 3.2%. Wages are up to 4.4%. The economy is booming. 5.2%. GDP growth in the last quarter. Those are facts you don't hear on Fox News. 14 million jobs, 10 times. Let me move on.

Gavin Newsom (13:46)

That was a lightning round. Now on March 31st and when Governor.

Political Commentator (13:50)

Newsom was asked during this debate and saying, oh, well, you know, there's all this crime in California, watch his response. He goes, it's higher in Florida. Here, play this clip.

Gavin Newsom (14:00)

Insecurity, I would argue, is a prerequisite for the pursuit of happiness.

News Anchor (14:03)

Well, I couldn't agree with you more. We're near 50 year lows, down 55% violent crimes in the state of California from the 1990s. And I want to compare and contrast that with the issue in Florida that you didn't mention. And that's the murder rate. Let's broaden it more broadly. The issue is seven out of 10.

Gavin Newsom (14:19)

Those numbers were part of the murder rate.

News Anchor (14:21)

Seven of the top 10 murder rates in the United States of America are red states. He has a 66% higher gun death rate than the state of California. He has a higher murder rate. Go to places like Jacksonville, go to places like Orlando, go to places like Tampa. The murder rate's off the charts compared to cities like San Francisco. And you know what? Even more egregiously, Sean, and I think this is important, the American people deserve an answer from you, Ron. You had one of the worst mass shootings in American history, Parkland. Seventeen kids were gunned down, lives lost, 17 others, lives torn asunder. You had a young girl by the name of Jamie Guttenberg whose father pleaded with you to do something about it. And you know what you did? You did the exact opposite. You made it easier for felons to get guns without background checks, without any training. These people pleaded with the parents and the families to get tough on gun safety. And again, you made it easier for felons, he said of you, Ron. And I agree with him. After, after you signed that concealed carry bill, which increases the likelihood, Fred Gutenberg said, of more Jamie's losing their lives and more Parklands. He called you weak, pathetic and small. So with respect, I appreciate you're talking to police officers in the state of California. You may want to spend a little bit more time not on the Ohio Trail and other places across this country. You may spend a little more time back in your home state and address the murder and gun violence in your own backyard.

Political Commentator (15:49)

So this is, this is the slick politician you put up the. And finally, after Donald Trump was elected Governor, Newsom was very quick to come out with a statement and say, California is not going to sit by if Donald Trump tries to threaten our state rights, if he's going to violate the Constitution, California is going to stand up. I'll play for you this clip. I want you to remember, too, that Governor Newsom held a special emergency session of the legislature in California to approve funds to file lawsuits and to ensure that the Constitution is protected against Donald Trump and that the people of the state of California are protected. Watch this.

Political Strategist (16:34)

We have a president elect and I'm one of those people. I mean, I revere the institution. I revere this country. I revere the presidency. And I want our president to succeed. And our job, my job is not to wake up every single day and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokesman, the wheel of the Trump administration. And so, again, in that spirit of an open hand, not a close fist, that's how we want to proceed. That said, fourth point, I'm not naive either. And we're pragmatic and we will stand firm. I am reminded there's a great old poem about the winds may howl, but I will not be swept away. This notion that we have to plant our feet. And I remember I'm not, you know, I've been here long enough, you know, having worked with the previous Trump administration, I'm not naive about those wins. And they did howl. We were involved in over 100. Well, in fact, we were involved in specifically 122 lawsuits with the Trump administration. We know their playbook. We know what they're going to do. I talked a lot about the campaign and I appreciated Kamala Harris's closing message about Donald Trump has an enemies list. And I, she said have a to do list. I said I would make it a modest addendum to that.

News Anchor (18:01)

So did Donald Trump.

Political Strategist (18:02)

That to do list is laid out in 922 page document, of which there's 270 specific points that he has publicly supported in that Project 2025 document, which 75% of its authors, and there's a multitude of authors, authors, worked with the Trump administration. None of us are naive when he said he knew nothing about it. That is a to do list. That is a playbook. Heritage foundation and others backing that playbook. You build on that. Not naive about what to anticipate.
