You can't be a successful democratic politician in 2025 unless you bully the hell out of Donald Trump. You can't let the misinformation that Trump spreads fill the void. You have to flip the script. You have to bully him. You have to mock him. You have to treat him like the vile piece of trash that he is. And you stand up and you stand strong. And he backs down like he always has in his life because he is a weak pathet loser who has bankrupted many businesses. He's a sexual abuser. Disgusting human being. He's found liable of sexual abuse. He's a felon convicted 34 times over on 34 felony counts. He's been found liable for fraud. You stand up to this guy and he backs down like a loser. That's why I like California Governor Gavin Newsom's approach lately, where he goes on social media and he bullies Donald Trump. He goes on the offense and he mocks like this. Donald Trump gives a speech yesterday where Donald Trump's like, prices are down on gasoline. We hit $1.99 a gallon. He goes, but those gas prices in California, they're like $8 a gallon, which is false on all aspects. There's no gas anywhere. That's a $99, and it's not $8 a gallon in California. So what does California Governor Gavin Newsom do? Goes on the offense. He shows a photo of the Lolita Express, Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting plane that Donald Trump flew on numerous times with his best pal Jeffrey Epstein. By the way, Donald Trump used Epstein's jet as Donald Trump's own campaign jet in 2024. Yeah, the Gulf Stream used by Epstein was what Donald Trump wrapped in Trump 2024 and flew around. But I digress. California Governor Gavin Newsom post the interior of Epstein's Lolita Express. And this is what Newsom writes in this rant. Swollen ankles says gas prices in California are $8. Maybe he's talking about private jet fuel. He's an expert on that. After all those flights with Jeffrey on the Lolita Express, boom. You call Donald Trump. Absolutely. You call Him Swollen Ankle Boy. Call him Swollen Ankle Boy. And then say maybe you're an expert because you know the price of fuel on Gulf Streams because you flew on it with Jeffrey Epstein. Swollen Ankle Boy. BO that's how you gotta do it. That's the same way Governor Newsom calls Stephen Miller a fascist cuck. Do it. That's what you gotta do. Uh, Governor Newsom posted a video with a Coldplay song. I'm not gonna play it because Coldplay has the copyright, but it is a video of Jeffrey Epstein hugging Donald Trump. Like, what went down at the Coldplay concert in Massachusetts where those workers at that company astronomer were caught cheating on their spouses. And it is Epstein hugging Donald Trump. Boom. Brilliant. Love it. Then you have Governor Newsom post a photo of the vice president and of J.D. vance, and it's posted over the fact that beef prices are skyrocketing right now. Beef prices are now at a record high. And it's a photo of J.D. vance looking kind of like chubby with a little lollipop in his hand going, please say thank you. Please say thank you. Please, please mock them. That's how JD Van sounds. That's what you gotta do. Mock the crap out of Jeff. Please, please. I'm J.D. vance. Please say thank you for raising your prices. I'm J.D. all right, so then you have right here, though, the White House posts a photo of the White House saying she's in her golden age. The White House is in her golden age. What does Governor Newsom post a photo of? A golden toilet bowl. The golden age under Trump is a freaking toilet bowl. Boom. That's how you got to bully him. And then you come with facts. Go on the offense. Right now, Fox was reporting that General Motors shares are crashing. Their stock is diving 7% after the auto giant reported a 32% slump in quarterly profits due to a $1.1 billion hit from the tariffs, which GM says will worsen in the current quarter. Governor Newsom. Post, post. Team up with Donald Trump and you're guaranteed to get screwed. General Motors is learning the hard way. Others should pay attention to avoid their mistakes. Let's play the video that Newsom posted. Let's play it.

General Motors shares T boned by tariffs. The stock is diving several percentage points here. Seven plus percent after the auto giant reported a 32% slump in quarterly profits due to a $1.1 billion hit from the tariffs, which GM says will actually worsen in the current quarter.

Love it. And then Newsom starts addressing some serious topics, and he posts the following like this article from Fast Company Fast Company, which says Would you skip dinner or buy a backpack? 54% of parents say yes. While back to school shopping is certainly an end of summer expense that many families dread, this year is shaping up to be even more financially straining. The binders, backpacks, calculators and even laptops, which about 94% of high school students use, definitely don't come cheap this year. The stress over having to purchase these items seems to have increased significantly because of the disastrous economy for Main street right now, and Governor Newsom says no parents should have to choose between dinner and a backpack, but Trump's policies are forcing that choice. This was posted from Red State Department of Defense Rex Gavin Newsom's lame attack on National Guard deployment in la Governor Newsom responds we've seen better deployments in the video game Call of Duty. At least those had objectives.

So I'll be honest. Since I started working from home, I'd begin to swore off all jeans. Being in my house, wanting to feel comfortable with stiff denim just doesn't work. But I kept hearing about the perfect gene and I finally gave in. And the instant I put these on I thought to myself why the heck did I wait so long? These things are ridiculously comfortable. I wore them on a six hour flight to the East Coast. No pinching, no stiffness, no regret. And when I had to full on sprint through the terminal to make my connection, these jeans moved with me. No busted seams, no airport fashion fails. I also tried their tee and shorts game changers. I tested them out on a three hour food tour in the 90 degree LA heat and they kept me cool the whole time without that awkward sticking. It's finally time to stop crushing your parts and uncomfortable jeans. By going to ThePerfectGene NYC. Our listeners get 15% off your first order plus free shipping, free returns and free exchanges.

Then Newsom comes with other receipts like the California National Guard right now could use members not to be positioned right around office buildings in Southern in Los Angeles, but because we're in fire season right now, so Newsom writes, California could use our National Guard right now to fight wildfires and stop Fentanyl at the border. Instead, Trump has them standing around for a photo op. Return our soldiers now. And then Newsom starts to cite the Los Angeles Times article. There's not much to do, says one U.S. marine. A business Insider article what are hundreds of Marines still doing in L A? Not much. Not much. Not much at all is what the Marines say. It's long past time for Trump to send our troops home. From msnbc, six members of the National Guard, ranging from infantry men to officers to officials in leadership positions, describe the very low morale and deep concern that the deployment in Los Angeles may hurt recruitment for the state based military force for years to come. And Newsom says, send the troops home right now and we're seeing the brave men and women of the California National Guard deserving far more than to continue serving as puppets for Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. Stop this ridiculous show. Send the soldiers home. And we're seeing this impact recruiting. It's actually happening. Trump's chaos parade. You have Newsom post this. Los Angeles Times Veterans advocates warn of low morale amid L A deployment this is not what we signed up for. The New York Times Trump's National Guard troops are questioning their mission in L A. The San Francisco chronicle Less than 20% of troops deployed to LA are on the ground. A former commander calls that awful. Governor Newsom post the following as well and an article from Kiplinger why your summer budget feels tighter. Tariffs push up inflation. Your summer holiday just got more expensive and tariffs are partially to blame, Newsom writes Trump tariffs with a chilling effect this summer Donald Trump posts a meme of himself at the House Republicans repost the art of the deal. It's a flag of the United States and Japan. Donald Trump claims there's a trade deal with Japan, although the Japanese prime minister as Sheba just resigned in disgrace following Trump announcing this trade deal. And after a Sheba lost a major election in the upper chamber of Japan's recent election and then Governor Newsom's office post CNBC analysis shows Walmart prices increased as much as 51% following tariffs. In other words, that's what you think the art of the deal is. Walmart is charging 51% more. Even Trump's supposed trade deal with Japan is now putting a 15% tariff, aka attacks on Americans from getting things from Japan so they'll be 15% more expensive. That is significant. Stephen Miller goes on Fox and says if you look at the photos of the Empire State Building being built, you don't see any illegal aliens. When you look at the photos of the NASA control room during the moon landing. You don't see any illegal aliens. Americans built, sustained and powered this country for two centuries. To which Governor Newsom responds, voldemort is out here confusing a person's skin color with immigration status. What's your take? Racism dog. Governor Newsom then goes, hey, real Donald Trump, have you gotten your fill of playing military dictator in LA yet? End your occupation now. He has a count of the days that Donald Trump is playing dictator in Los Angeles, which the people here absolutely hate. And Governor Newsom's gone viral as well. In addition to his posts, I see on TikTok, for example, this video where Governor Newsom was asked a reporter's like, do you think it's irresponsible that you're calling Stephen Miller a fascist cuck if you're trying to differentiate yourself from Donald Trump? And Newsom's like, nah, he is a fascist cuck and I'm going to call him out. That's the language that they use. The one thing that this tiktoker I don't think recognized. Stephen Chung is Donald Trump's communications director. That's why he was referring to Stephen Chung as Chung and then Stephen Miller separately. But other than that, this tick tocker got it right here. Play this clip. Tell me why a reporter asked Gavin Newsom why he called Stephen Miller a cuck and he really said, because he is one. And I do it again.
Gavin Newsom
Your personal and your governor's press office social media accounts have taken a much more aggressive tone over the last couple weeks. Recently the press office called Stephen Miller Twitter. How do you differentiate yourself from Trump if you're using state and personal social media accounts to name call. Well, it's a response to Stephen Chung in the White House.
Political Commentator
Pause. He said Stephen Chung and his use of that word.
Gavin Newsom
I don't think they understand any other kind of language.
Political Commentator
So period.
Gavin Newsom
I have no apologies for standing tall and firm and pushing back against their cruelty. And if it requires more clear language, requires a recognition that things have radically changed with Trump presidency, then I will assert myself as I feel fit and I'll do so with clarity and conviction.

And then here's a video that Gavin Newsom posted on TikTok about how in Trump's America, people are literally being disappeared off our streets. This is from pods. Save America. Here. Play this clip is what he posts from his interview. Play this clip.
Gavin Newsom
People quite literally are being disappeared. And it's not an exaggeration. I mean, I've been with, I was with a 16 year old kid mom and dad disappeared. Born in Ventura county and was still in school while a raid occurred. It's getting worse.
Political Commentator
It's going to get worse.
Gavin Newsom
These communities in Los Angeles, mostly Latino.
Political Commentator
Communities, immigrant communities, are being terrorized by these ICE agents wearing masks, throwing people into unmarked cars.
Gavin Newsom
It's one thing for Trump to advance this. It's another to see Speaker Johnson and these goddamn guys just completely complicit at this moment, you know? And as you sit here quoting Bible.

The commentator underscores how Newsom uses credible sources, such as CNBC and the Los Angeles Times, to back his claims, reinforcing the economic hardships caused by Trump's decisions.
