Narrator/Commentator
Contact T Mobile Donald Trump did not Know what Hit Him California Governor Gavin Newsom has been relentless calling out Donald Trump, mocking Donald Trump, bullying Donald Trump, humiliating Donald Trump, but most importantly, acting with moral clarity and showing what real leadership looks like, while also pointing out the absurdity and dangerousness of Trump and maga. So here's what California Governor Gavin Newsom posted. He finished his trip to New York City. He's back in California right now. But the mocking and humiliating of Donald Trump continues. In fact, it's increasing. Governor Newsom posted the following photo of a broken escalator at the Trump Tower and says, a real disgrace escalator was broken at Trump Tower today. I've launched an investigation into this matter. Now Donald Trump and his son announced that they would be bringing back to Trump vodka as part of their grift in the White House. So Gavin Newsom mocked it right away. He says, coming soon there will be Newsom wine. And Gavin Newsom posted that from his official governor's account. Then Governor Newsom posted this video, A golden week for a golden error. Play this incredible video that Newsom just posted. This is how it's done. Let's play it.

Stephen Colbert
Whoever's operating this escalator is in big trouble. I said, well, let's see how we say that. I said, escalator. I'm really good at this stuff and I don't say that in a braggadocious way. But it's true. Nothing bad could happen. It could only escalator happen. All I got from the United nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle.
- [04:44]
Narrator/Commentator
Then Governor Newsom says, fixed it for you. American taxpayers will bail out farmers thanks to Trump's taxes, the Politico headline read, Trump says he'll use tariff revenue to bail out farmers. Governor Newsom, setting the record straight that in response to Donald Trump's post from yesterday morning where Donald Trump says, pregnant women don't use Tylenol unless absolutely necessary. Don't give Tylenol to your young child Then it says take chicken pea shot separately. Then it spells hepatitis. Wrong, Hepatitis B shot. Governor Newsom says never trust a doctor who got a degree. Trump University School of Medicine. Now in response to these right wing accounts laundering these ridiculous and absurdist state regime media Fox clips where people like Kevin o' Leary rejects from Canada go California must replace Democrat leaders to survive. The better question for all this stuff is why is California rotting like this? The whole place? What happened to California in the last 20 years? It's policy. It's incredible bad policy. Then Governor Newsom boom immediately, immediately fact checks it and says thanks to Democrats over the past 20 years, California is number one in business startups, number one in manufacturing, number one in agriculture, number one in venture capital, number one for Fortune 500 companies, number one for tourism spending and for all those red states. Also number one in hunting. P.S. adjusted for inflation, gas is also cheaper today and there are 3 million plus more jobs. You're welcome. Also California, if it was a country, would have the fourth largest GDP in the entire world. Also, California is a giver state or a donor state. It gives to the federal government $85 billion more than it takes in. In contrast, Texas is a taker state, a leech if you will. It takes $75 billion more than it gives. But the MAGA and the right wing propagandist playbook tries to flood the zone and bend reality that Governor Newsom boom is setting the record straight. Governor Newsom then post the following as well in response to this headline from politico. Donald Trump's U.S. attorneys unvetted by Senate move full steam ahead. Governor Newsom writes, Congress has totally abdicated its authority. No oversight, no accountability for the executive branch. All just serving at the whims of a leader looking to enrich himself on the backs of hardworking Americans and punishing anyone who dares call attention to it. There's a word for that powerful right there. Then Governor Newsom fact checks Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who got famous off of the reality show called the Real World from back in the day and the Real World Road Rules Challenge. Duffy, totally unqualified, incompetent, idiotic. He writes California is the worst offender when it comes to trucking licenses. According to FMCSA's ongoing audit, more than 25% of non domiciled CDLs were issued illegally. Governor Newsom then responds, it appears the Secretary of Transportation is having a challenging time understanding the road rules because he was on Real World Road Rules Challenge. Unlike him, we'll stick to the facts. California commercial driver's license holders have a fatal crash rate nearly 40% lower than the national average. And when you look at Texas, the only state with more commercial holders, the Lone Star State, has a rate almost 50% higher than California. Facts don't lie, but the Trump administration does. Governor Newsom then responds to this headline from CBS Archives released too much of Mickey's Mikey Sherrill's military record to her opponent in the New Jersey governor's race. Governor Newsom responds, the Trump administration has illegally released the private military records of the Democratic nominee for New Jersey governor, Sheryl they cheat, lie and rig because they know they are going to lose. We're going to have to keep call calling it out. Then in response to a Sean Hannity segment where he says, you're not Trump Newsome, here's my message for Newsom. Maybe it's time to stop tweeting and start governing. To which Newsom again says, California is the fourth largest economy in the world. Idiot. He didn't call him an idiot.

Then Newsom says, number one, a new business startups. Then he lists all of the facts again. Six of the top ten US cities for quality of life in 2025 are located in California. We're just happier se then in response to Ron DeSantis, MAGA governor of Florida who was on Jesse Waters saying Newsom doesn't want ICE agents to wear masks. This is the same governor who forced 2 year olds to wear masks during COVID Governor Newsom responds, Dude keeps poop and porn in his pocket. Won't be taking advice from him. Then there are these great moments that Newsom had with Colbert. Um, one was when Newsom mocked Donald Trump and said, wow. Special promo in honor of the Great Stephen Colbert. 10% off the Patriot Shop with code escalator tonight only. You're welcome Patriots. And that's where he sells gear. Like Newsom was right about everything. Then Governor Newsom post the following 41 lawsuits, a ballot initiative to stop election rigging, a West coast health alliance, real leadership on climate policy. California isn't sitting back while Trump tries to destroy our nation and its reputation. Newsom says Fox News sure is full of a bunch of snowflakes. Newsom writes, Donald Trump is weak. He knows he can't win in 2026, so he's dialing for seats and rigging elections. He has to be stopped. Newsom writes, I fear that we will not have an election in 2028. I really mean that in the core of my soul. Unless we wake up to what's happening in this country.

I have to tell you about this game changing product I used before a night with drinks. It's called Pre Alcohol. Zebiotic's Pre Alcohol Probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Now here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make Pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have Pre alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. So I first gave Pre Alcohol a try when I was at a wedding over the summer. I drank it before my first cocktail and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning. Now fall is right around the corner, so that means it's time to raise a glass to your favorite team. Whether you're tailgating, enjoying a college game day or watching Sunday's action on that fancy new tv. Don't forget Zebiotics Pre Alcohol Probiotic Drink. Drink a pre alcohol before drinking and enjoy great days after celebrating all season long. Go to ZBiotics.com Midas to learn more and get 15% off your first order when you use Midas at checkout. Zebiotics is backed with 100% money back guarantee. So if you're unsatisfied for any reason, they'll refund your money, no questions asked.

And I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working. Your countries are going to hell. The wind doesn't blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad. The best selling hat Gavin Newsom was right about everything.

And then Governor Newsom has been posting clips of that incredible interview that he gave with former President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiatives. I want you to see what real leadership looks like. This to me is what Presidents are supposed to look like and how they're supposed to act. Watch Governor Newsom right here Talk about how California fills him with pride. And the people who live in California, by the way, like me, feel such pride in the state. Here, play this clip.
- [13:36]
Gavin Newsom
And just to set the scene, it's the size of 21 state populations combined. It's the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy. 27% of my state is foreign born. We practice pluralism. It's a point of pride. I say that because it needs to be said and you reinforce it here today. It's in that diversity that we have achieved so much strength. We dominate in every critical industry. Yes, we're the fourth largest economy in the world, $4.1 trillion a year. But we dominate with more engineers, more scientists, more Nobel laureates, more venture capital, the finest system of higher education, public higher education in the world. And business start startups. Number one in two way trade, number one in direct foreign investment. In every category, the dominant manufacturing state, the dominant farming state, the dominant state as it relates to hunting jobs. You didn't know that Jobs related in every category. We have no peers. We talk about the future. You're talking about what's next. California's in the future business. But we're also in the spirit of the video, in the how business. And so it's not about what and why. And this notion of the future is what animates California and the future. As you said final words, you said word manifest future is not something to experience, it's something to manifest. It's decisions, not conditions that determine our fate and future. And I think that mindset is the thing that defines the game played in California versus the game played many other parts of the country.

Then Governor Newsom gives a little lesson in history to Bill Clinton into the audience. As you know, the interesting thing too, when you look at the environmental policies in California and who they were shaped by, it also was on a bipartisan basis. Look at Reagan, look at Nixon, look at what they were doing when it came to the environment in California, which is very interesting because the MAGA Republicans right now have completely distorted what actually should be a bipartisan an issue when it comes to the environment. Watch Gavin Newsom spit some facts and give a historical and important powerful lesson right here. Play this clip for me.
- [15:54]
Gavin Newsom
One of them was a governor. Ronald Reagan established the modern environmental movement in 1967, year of my birth, with the California Air Resources Board. And he did so because of the smog in Los Angeles was a business driven decision. Business community said we simply can't do business in LA, Mr. Governor. And he established the Air Resources Board three years later was Richard Nixon that codified that under the Clean Air act and gave California a waiver that allowed us to pursue aggressive environmental policy. And that's why California has dominated the national debate in this space. What this president has done in eight months is jaw dropping. What he has done to the epa, what he's done to California's leadership, he's neutralized, he's eliminated under that Clean Air act our authority to regulate tailpipe emissions. What he continues to do in terms of trying to stop California's global leadership as it relates to our partnerships around not only the country at a sub national level, but around the globe in relationship to, to our cap and trade program, in relationship to our other partnerships that we've established as it relates to carbon capture and direct air capture. And the technology in the space cannot be understated. And so we are, you know, we're the last, we're only game in town right now as it relates to large scale environmental leadership. And I'll just close on this. We have six times more green collar jobs, green tech jobs than we do fossil fuel jobs. We're on the other side of the debate. I think this is a point that should be emphasized. You talk about California more than I emphasize it. 67% of our electricity grid is completely green and clean. We have run, which is not bad. But get this. Nine out of 10 days in 2025, we run the fourth largest economy in the world at 100% clean green energy. 100% as of last Friday. 217 out of 243 days, 100% clean energy. We're proving the paradigm, the genius of Ann versus the tyranny of or. I think there's power in emulation success. Leslie Plews and I think California's been an interesting and successful model in this space. And we're just trying to navigate this new space as it relates to the macro. Headwinds coming from 16 or Pennsylvania Avenue.

And then Governor Newsom calls what Donald Trump is doing to our country economic vandalism. Powerful moment right here in a clip that Governor Newsom posted. Let's play it.
- [18:44]
Gavin Newsom
The thing that we've dominated in is, is the electricity architecture. And we dominated in clean cars. I signed the first executive order in the United States to require alternative fuel vehicles by 2035. That was just taken away by Congress, the supine Congress and the President. But we created the market. There is no Elon Musk, there's no Tesla without California's regulatory framework, period. Full stop. It wouldn't exist. It was because of the regulations, because of those signals and the subsidies, over $3.2 billion direct subsidies that Tesla received just in my state alone that built this market. Over a quarter of all new car purchases in California are alternative fuel vehicles. What Trump has just done, and with respect some of the automobile manufacturers is they've ceded this to China. They've ceded our competitiveness to China. And it's not just the electric vehicles, it's the tech stack that's part of these electric vehicles. It's the mobility space more broadly defined. It is an act of vandalism on an economic basis, not just an environmental basis. That is deeply alarming. And I hope people wake up to how China is just flooding the zone globally in this space and we have doubled down on stupid. We're trying to recreate the 19th century. We really have. You talk about what's next. It's not going to be American automobile manufacturers.

Bill Ford may run contrary to that. He seems to get it deeply. I give him tremendous credit. Remarkable iconic brand. But. But I cannot impress upon you more how proud I am. 60 headquarter manufacturer EV companies in the state of California supply chain was one of our biggest exports five years ago. And it's all about innovation. It's all about that entrepreneurial spirit. It. And you see if any of you have been to San Francisco, half the damn cars are driving themselves. It's here, it's happening. All the bidirectional opportunities, the two way charging, the fact that these cars are little power plants on wheels, all this extraordinary opportunity and it's seen it's slipping away because of bad policy making and short termism. So we're going to continue to push back against that. But I think from a tech and innovation stack, that's our biggest area of focus.

Narrator/Commentator
There you have it folks. As I said, powerful indeed. I love sharing these videos because I think right now we need leadership more than ever and I think Governor Newsom is meeting the moment.
