Gavin Newsom (2:55)

I want to understand those I disagree with because I want to get better and I want to be smarter and I want to win. These guys won. They kicked our ass. And we're dealing with the tyranny of this administration every goddamn day. And so for me, it's about power, taking back our power. It's not about punditry and bullshit. It's not about having a goddamn candlelight visual. I'm not interested in a white paper on this shit. I'm a practitioner. We got to get out there. We gotta win. I care about winning. That's what Prop 50 is about. It's about power. This son of a bitch is going to not only rewrite history, it's over the history of this country. We won't have a country in a year if this guy's successful. We're at the 250th anniversary of the Founding Fathers. That's next year. There might not be another free and fair election unless we win back this House of Representatives.

Then Governor Newsom mocks Donald Trump for selling watches on right wing tv. Governor Newsom writes, no healthcare for you, but you must buy my watch. Donald Trump's literally selling watches right now. Governor Newsom's birthday was on Friday. So in a way that Governor Newsom mocks Donald Trump for. Donald Trump's just talking about me, me, me, me, me. Governor Newsom writes, happy birthday to me, Gavin C. Newsom. Many say America's most loved, most handsome, and possibly most important governor. My birthday wish list, the best list. No troops in our beautiful cities. No Trump election rigging. None. Beautiful, perfect, fair maps for everyone, respect for our sacred constitution, and most important, a very humble ask a Nobel Peace Prize. People all over the world are begging me to accept it. Thank you to the amazing, talented, highly attractive people of California.

Gavin Newsom (4:39)

I love you.

Narrator/Host (4:40)

Happy birthday to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Gcn. Such a perfect way to mock Donald Trump right there. Then Governor Newsom brings on Governor Pritzker and Governor Kotak on his podcast. I want you to watch this here, play this clip for us.

Gavin Newsom (4:58)

The National Guard. These are the folks that are out there during the fire, in the middle of the fire and during our recovery. And they were heroes. I mean, the biggest problem we had, we had thousands of National Guard that were there protecting the residents of Los Angeles. And the biggest problem they had were the number of people coming up to get selfies with them, giving them food and water, and they were overwhelmed. And these are our neighbors. These are nurses and doctors, these are firefighters and law enforcement officers that are quite literally being taken now off the street and been asked to mask up. And I think it's so important that we underscore what you just said, JB that we're not at war with them. Quite the contrary. And that's what's so abusive about what the President of the United States has done. But I wanted to say this in closing. I want to thank you both for what you've done, the moral clarity to which you both have met this moment, how effectively you've communicated, how effectively you've galvanized the public to understand what's at stake. Thank you for the partnership in terms of the compare and contrast and the sharing of information with our legal teams and with our staff. It distills for me a sense of well being. You know, there's an old adage, if you want to go fast, go alone, you want to go far, go together. And this is a time for us to partner, and it's a time for us to, I think, really raise the red flag of alarm about what's really going on in this country and what we're up against.

J.B. Pritzker (6:30)

Well, thank you, Gavin, and thank you, Tina, both of you. I've spoken with, as we're going through what we're going through in Chicago, and I think we've each advised each other about ideas that we have. And you talk about speaking with moral cliff clarity. Gavin, I can't thank you enough for you having done that since early, before the, you know, the invasion of LA by those troops. And you keep it up. And Tina, I know, you know, I just. I know all of this has been jarring for the people of Oregon, but you have been such a beacon for them. And I've watched you as things are happening here in Chicago and thought, you know, well, I got to take that idea. That's a great idea, the way you've expressed yourself. So thank you for all of your advice along the way.

Tina Kotek (7:20)

Thanks, J.B. thank you, Gavin. You know, we stick together. We'll get through this, but it's been an honor working with you. We're going to keep hanging out together because we got to keep fighting. This is going to be a brawl. So let's, let's, let's keep together and appreciate you both.

Gavin Newsom (7:34)

Well, appreciate it. So rare opportunity for us to get together in this public manner. I think it's really important. Again, grateful for both of you taking the time, particularly with the preciousness that is time at this moment. Thank you guys.

Next, Governor Pritzker asks, or Governor Newsom asks J.B. pritzker what he thinks about the situation in Chicago. Let's play this clip.

Gavin Newsom (9:35)

So speaking of chilling, JB we saw those images of people descending from helicopters in the dead of night. Armed masked men going into apartment building. People, quite literally asleep, people without clothing. We've seen in the middle of the day, tear, gasping, dispensed. I mean those images are indeed chilling. Give us a sense of what you're dealing with specifically on the ground in Chicago.

J.B. Pritzker (10:02)

The only invasion or mayhem that's occurring is happening because the Trump administration is visiting it upon our city. You saw that, that, that South Shore building in Chicago, middle of the night, Blackhawk helicopters. We had, we had ICE agents rappelling out of this military helicopter down the side of this building. It has about 130 people in it. They were targeting a few, I'm talking about a single digit number of people that they said were gang members. But the 130 people had their doors broken down, their, their windows broken. There was, everything was ransacked in the building. We saw pictures and video of all of it. They took innocent people out and zip, tied their hands. Children I might add. And a number of these people were US citizens and others were legal residents of the state of Illinois and the United States of America. And yet they were held for hours. And these ICE agents, first of all, I don't think they really have been trained in law enforcement. Our cpd, Chicago public, sorry, Police department as well as our Illinois State Police, we know that when we're targeting gang members and we do this with DEA and with FBI also, we target them, we determine where they are in a building and then we make sure that we keep innocent people away from that area and we protect them, them while we go in and take people out. That's not what happened here. We, we had over a hundred agents attacking a building. It looked like Fallujah. They, and they, one other thing, they set up dozens of cameras for social media purposes ahead of this. And then they used all of that footage to turn it into this sort of, I don't know, adventure looking, you know, thing for, for Kristi Noem's social media. So they could, I'm not sure, advertise the idea to what people joining ice. I'm not sure exactly who they were trying to convince, but it all looked like BS in their social media. It was BS on, in fact on the ground. And the result is we have traumatized children. We've got elderly people, again, who are held for hours. We've got an entire community around this building who's wondering, like, are they next? And this is what's happening all across the city of Chicago. This kind of trauma that's occurring in our communities. People are afraid to go outside. They can't walk their kids to school. Again, if you're brown or black, you're liable to be stopped and held. And this is in a circumstance where, you know, again, children trying to get to school and their parents trying to walk them there. I went to an elementary school and there were children there who were worried that at the end of the school day when they walk home, their parents might not be home, that they will have been taken away and disappeared.

Narrator/Host (13:02)

Next, you have Governor Newsom asking Governor Kotek a few questions. Here's what she has to say. Again, I love bringing them together. This is great. Here, play this clip.

Gavin Newsom (13:13)

And Tina, you just met with Christy Noem, did you not? She was up in Portland. You have a chance to engage in dialogue with her?

Tina Kotek (13:24)

Yeah, I found out the, through unofficial channels the day before that she was coming to town. And so I reached out and said, hey, can we meet? It's interesting to see a cabinet secretary traveling with right wing social media influencers. It's interesting to see that same cabinet secretary standing on a federal building with those same types of folks with, you know, with filming and other things. This is a made for TV movie that they are producing to try to make a point. You know, I thought we could have a, you know, reasonable conversation, but, you know, it's hard to have a rational conversation with irrational people. You know, then Secretary Nunn goes back and has a, you know, meeting at the White House just yesterday talking about, you know, antifa. And the way they talk about it, I don't know what they're talking about. It does. Any expert on anything in this country is just perplexed by what they're trying to say about what is happening in our major cities. And so I just come back to what are the facts on the ground? What does it mean to keep our community safe? We have a president and an administration that doesn't care about the safety of Americans. Look, you take an oath to the Constitution as president of the United States, as we do as governors. Our job is to stand up and protect everybody in our state and his job is to protect everybody in our country. But what I heard from the secretary was we have the right and without with impunity to be as aggressive with military policing tactics that we want to use. And we don't care if it upsets people and we don't care if it creates more tension and more problems for your city. They literally don't care.

Narrator/Host (14:59)

These are the food banks I was talking about. Now, Donald Trump is posting these images as a way to attack Democrats. But you're the commander in chief. Bud. Bud, you're the commander in chief. What the hell are you doing? This is a real post from the Trump regime. The line at this food bank is filled with military families who have no idea when they'll get their next paycheck, all because of Chuck Schumer. And Democrats. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves. But that require them to have shame in the first place. Pathetic cowards. That's from the official Trump White House rapid response account to which Governor Newsom responds. Trump's shutdown has forced our heroic military families into breadlines. This is what happens when chaos runs the country. Disgraceful. Our troops are literally going to bread lines right now when they could easily be funded. Even with the Trump government shutdown right now, you could pass a standalone bill easily to fund the troops. Then we gotta deal with healthcare. Americans healthcare is getting ripped away. We know that's the reason for this government shutdown, that Donald Trump's taking away the Affordable Care act subsidies from people and he's taking away people's Medicaid and Medicare. It's happening before our eyes. You, you all see it happening with your healthcare, so fix it all, Donald. But you could pay the troops right now if you want to or you don't want to pay the troops. So you blame Democrats. That ain't working, Donald. That ain't working. Governor Newsom responds to these MAGA like propaganda sites that says breaking Governor Newsom has signed a law requiring social media platforms to erase users data when accounts are deleted. And then Governor Newsom responds, MAGA is crying because California Governor Gavin Newsom is protecting consumers. Hilarious. And yes, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring social media platforms to erase users data when accounts are deleted. As Governor Newsom says, your data should be just that, yours. Right? This comes at a time when Donald Trump and Elon Musk have stolen your data. We know the government's taken a ton of your Social Security information. God knows where it is taken all of your IRS data. They stole your data. It seems pretty obvious that that's what went down. In my opinion, that's what went down. That's what the guns what doge did. Governor Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom writes, oh, what a year it's been. Happy birthday to my fearless husband Gavin Newsom, who continues to inspire me every day with his calm intelligence, decency and humor as he fights so hard for us. My hiking, travel, sports, intellectual food, music, wine and life partner. Life is so full. The kids and I wish you the best day and year ever. Love you dearly. XXO I think it's great to see a normal potential first family and first couple as opposed to Melania Trump saying I have talked to Vladimir Putin. I've talked to Putin. I back channel. Maybe it's not right. Maybe I shouldn't do the accents. I don't know. But maybe I should. I don't know. But she said that she talks to Putin a lot. The hell. Governor Newsom goes. Now do the Epstein files in response to Cash Patel saying there simply cannot be and will not be different rules for different people, one system of law and order from this FBI. Release the Epstein files, idiot. Release the Epstein files, idiot. Governor Newsom then responds to MAGA Mike Johnson saying, if you look at the polling, people's faith in the federal government is at an all time low.

J.B. Pritzker (18:19)

Why?

Narrator/Host (18:20)

Because they don't see that it's being done well. Governor Newsom goes, Speaker Johnson, leader th President Trump, y' all run the government right now. They don't like you idiots. Then Governor Newsom responds to this C SPAN interview with MAGA Republican Representative Mark Alford, where an independent caller says to MAGA Republican Alford, you're taking credit for $50 billion that you just gave to the hospital industry after you took away $150 billion. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of the money that you took away. You think we're stupid. We're not stupid. It makes you look dumb. So quit lying is what the person said to him. And Governor Newsom goes, america knows exactly who defunded rural hospitals. Trump and his MAGA lap dogs in Congress. So obvious.
