1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has been very prickly lately. If you dare 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: to ask him questions about his job as governor. I know, 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: I know, it seems like it's a reasonable question, but 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: take a look at what happened now. Well, first we're 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: going to go back in time, just about six months 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: ago or so, when he's asked by a local Sacramento 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: reporter in California about a project. It's not getting a 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of national attention, but he's building this whole annex 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: to the capital, the state capitol in California. It's got 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: a big, luxurious office and all these palatial digs, and 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: it is way over budget. So a reporter asked him 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: about it. Watch how it went. This is Gavin Newsom 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: at his Galvinist sposed. 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: You mentioned the ballroom. I want to first acknowledge that 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: neither one of you were leading the Capital annex project. 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: But mister Turry General he voted to approved in twenty eighteen. 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: Mister Governor, the part of Generalist Services which you oversee, 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: is part of it. It has been the three years 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: since the legislature updated the public on the cost of 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: that project. It is happening right now. I've money NDErs 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 2: could probably oversee it. You could see the construction is happening. 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: But yet the Legislature's Joint Rules Committee refuses to provide 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: an update. We have reported that they have violated the 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: Legislative Open Records Act. They are continuing to withhold public records. 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: I have asked for an interview for more than a 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: year now, and no one will provide an update. I mean, 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: that is that appropriate on a on a one of 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: the most expensive buildings in the United States at this point. 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think that's appropriate. 30 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: That should provide you the information very full stop. But 31 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: for you to conflate or compare contrast is with all 32 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: due respect, I think that I would separate the ballroom 33 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: and what Donald Trump just did and desecration and the 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: process and that he had evolved in the fact that 35 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: he secured three hundred million dollars under cure circumstances from 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: the annex, and what the legislature is trying to do. 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to defend those actions, but absolutely 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: they should provide bank just balances. 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: In that capital capital and so that's why I'm asking, Yeah, 40 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: very appropriate, though. 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 4: They should know That's what I said they should, you 42 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 4: should that information. I agree it's inappropriate. Thank By the way, 43 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 4: I didn't know they were not talking to you. I 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 4: apologize that members of the legislature are not talking to you. 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: They're on recess. I'll check in with them, let me know. 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 4: I'm happy to happy to help. 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: You try to get access to members of the California 48 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: Legislature with respect. Not my branch of government, but I'm 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: happy because as a taxpayer, i'd like to know as well. 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: I appreciate the question you asked, and I think it 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: would be appropriate to provide that information and you should 52 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: have access to it. The public's the public's building. You 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: absolutely deserve that. So, yes, it's inappropriate, Yes you deserve 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: that information, and yes we're happy to help you. 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 4: Thank you. 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, So a couple of things here. First 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: of all, I just love this. Oh that's a legislative branch. 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't do that. No, the executive branch oversees this stuff, 59 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: and in fact, the that's part of his job, and 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: he's got an agency within the executive branch that oversees 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: this stuff as well. So again, completely disingenuous, if not deceitful. Secondly, 62 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the behavior there in dealing with this, Can I just 63 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: say Gavin Newsom to put it as succinctly as possible, 64 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is a He's an absolute raging and everybody 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: knows it. And anybody was like, oh, he's so handsome. 66 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Look at him. He's just so gorgeous, and he's like, 67 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't care how you know, on 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: the surface good looking in a very superficial way, somebody 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: might be okay, But when women voters who might get 70 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: all dreamy eyed about Gavin Newsom because he's tall and 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: lanky and tan and he's got the slick back here, 72 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: and he's like when they see him act like a 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: especially toward a female reporter like that, I don't think 74 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna go over. 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: Well. 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: I said it before and I'll say it again, and 77 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: the polling numbers are proving it right now. The more 78 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: people get to know Gavin Newsom, the more they're gonna 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: hate him. That said this was what six months ago, 80 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: nine months ago when he was asked about this project, 81 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: and he's like, yes, I agree with you, Okay, I 82 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: so agree with you. You really do need some transparency. You 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: deserve to know. Well, here's the interesting thing. This project 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: for this Capital Annex continues to be grossly over budget, 85 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: like ballooned exploded, almost as bad as his high speed 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: rail project to nowhere. And he was asked about it 87 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: just this week. I think this was yesterday. It's like, hey, 88 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: quick follow up on that. We still don't have the 89 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: transparency and the budget numbers of what you're spending there 90 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: of taxpayers money. 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 5: Prommished how the formum tax payers they give an update 92 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 5: in the beginning of the year. Moments are leaving, first 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 5: friend break without so I also asked for the Turner Construction, 94 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 5: the main company working on this building. I asked them 95 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 5: the periodic updates that are a matter of public records, 96 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 5: and just get a few of the costs that have 97 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 5: ever seens. I asked for this in August. The two 98 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: longmakers came back and said that they won't give those 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 5: because they believe this and the published best interest that 100 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 5: those records remain secretin will give it to me. Most 101 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 5: the project is completed in September of twenty twenty seven. 102 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 5: That's why they'll be a regular taxpayer about this. Do 103 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 5: you think the published have will wait that long? 104 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: No? And I think I've said that to you before, 105 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: and so thank you for that update. I was not 106 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: aware of that. I so, no, it's taxpayer dollars need 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: to be transparent, period, full stop, not complicated. So unless 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: there's some security consideration, there is always exceptions. But I'm 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: just asking, Yeah, I don't think that would fall into 110 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: that category. So I I'm no, I get it. No, 111 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: but it's a look as a taxpayer, I'm taxpayer and governor. Uh, 112 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: you know, reasonably, you know, good taxpayer. Uh. And so no, 113 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: I think it's not you're you're hardly this is hardly 114 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: an argumentative frame. Uh. And uh it's the least I 115 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: think you deserve the uh, as I said last time, 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: and then I was told there was progress on this. 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: Let me see what I can do to help influence 118 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 3: this because I cannot in good conscience support that decision 119 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: on the basis of the facts that you just laid out. 120 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I misspoke earlier. I said the Devin 121 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: Newsom is it, and I meant to say the Gavin 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: Newsom is a condescending What a chirk? What an absolute chirk? 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: And as you saw, it's basically it's again it's the 124 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: same story. Oh yeah, there should be full transparency, full stop. 125 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Well what happened to the full stop months ago when 126 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: you said the exact same thing. Don't worry, We're getting 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: to something big here on this whole. You know, you're 128 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: spending so much money on the Capitol Annex, and you 129 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: refuse to look into where the money is going, where 130 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: the money is coming from. And these are tax dollars, 131 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: he keeps saying. I'm a taxpayer, so I want to 132 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: know where the money is going. No, he doesn't even 133 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: give a crap about that. You also notice one other 134 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: thing here real fast? Uh, watch this thing. I just 135 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: noticed it. Maybe you did too, Yeah, did you see 136 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: the and he does it a second time as well? 137 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: Let me try if I can scroll into it. There's 138 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: a lot of sniffling going on. I don't know if 139 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: he's got allergies or if there's some cold season going 140 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: on there. And by the way, if we can go 141 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: back to this first clip that we looked at, watch 142 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: he and the Attorney General at the same time to 143 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: the nose I want to and the and if you 144 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: notice that, is this some sort of signal to the 145 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: comms people or or or are they not feeling well? 146 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Or maybe you know, did they just you know, participate 147 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: in something in the men's room before they came out. Now, 148 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: this is all fascinating. The Gavin Newsom is all touchy 149 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: and all argumentative and all defensive and you know, acting 150 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: like you know the dick that he is. Oh sorry, 151 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: when asked about the spending on this huge renovation of 152 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: the Capitol Building, because when it's Donald Trump using private 153 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: funds to do an underbudget and on time, if not 154 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule project at the White House to build 155 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: a long dreamed of and demanded ballroom, Gavin Newsom was. 156 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: Like, this has died today and Donald Trump spent more 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: time talking about his ballroom than he did about the 158 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: loss of those lives review the tape, spend more time 159 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: talking about the curtains and his ballroom than into the 160 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: four service members that died because of his operation in 161 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: his declaration of war without congressional consent. 162 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, it's all about the criticizing Trump 163 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: on the ballroom. But he gets a little touchy when 164 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: he's asked about his little boondogo project. And by the way, 165 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: there is no comparison Trump's. Gavin Newsum and the other 166 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: one was like, you're comparing these two.

And the fact that you exceeded. That 230 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 3: is extraordinary. And the fact that we seeded other programs 231 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 3: across this country is extraordinary. Fact that we've been persistent 232 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: good budgets, bad budgets, and we're on the other side 233 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: of all of that. And so I'm just I'm proud 234 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: of the program, and I'm proud of all you guys 235 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: for being part of it and inspiring Look at me, 236 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: I'm you know, like a kid now, you know, inspiring me. 237 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: Seriously, you know, I'm personally triggered that none of this 238 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: is being communicated to the people of California in Spanish. 239 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, who exactly are they trying to talk to?

We know exactly who this guy is 252 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: and how he's behaved his entire arrogant, self entitled career, 253 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: and trust me, it predates Trump. And now he's getting 254 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: all tarious. I don't know why we're just yelling at 255 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: each other all the time. And I don't know why 256 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: we're at each other's throats. I mean, I believe the 257 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: children are our future. I just made that up off 258 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: the top of my head. I like it. No one 259 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: believes this garbage. Please don't buy it.

There's nothing genuine about this man at all. 265 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: In fact, to that end. 266 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: So for and Vice President Kamala Harris, why don't you 267 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: guys like each other. It's a preposterous premise of the 268 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: question because we absolutely do shot at you in her book. 269 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: You didn't speak at her convention. 270 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: I mean we can even go back to the San 271 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: Francis her in Guilfoil. I mean, no, it seems to 272 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: be something there. No quite the contract I introduced her 273 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: at the convention. It was even more personal. I actually 274 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: was the one that got the enough votes that gave 275 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: her the nomination, and I had the privilege of speaking 276 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: in front of the convention. So it is the ultimate 277 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 3: affirmation of that relationship that goes theffs, that goes back 278 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: twenty plus years, goes back before we were both in politics, 279 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: when we spend time together, vacations with mutual friends, out 280 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: of the country together. So I've known her for years 281 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: and years, and all these kind of cardinations, I just 282 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: think we've always been on the same When I got 283 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 3: sworn in as mayor, I write about it in the book, 284 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: walked across the streets, were in as district attorney. Obviously 285 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: she made her way to the state. I made my 286 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: way to state shortly thereafter, and and so I've always 287 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: had a relationship in that respect. But I also have 288 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: known my relationship to that relationship that when she goes, 289 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: she goes first, and I've always understood that, and that's wonderful. 290 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 3: And I think the press and pundits want to make 291 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: something of that, and so they try to color and 292 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: in her she she gave me a little shot as 293 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: it relates to the actual truth of the walk I 294 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: was on. And I remember texting her back. I said, come, 295 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: I've already put out a statement supporting you, the last 296 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 3: person you need to talk to. But for whatever reason, 297 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: she added that, and I think it grated some color 298 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: for the book. It certainly helped her bookself, not my 299 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: component part. But that book has done unbelievably well. Story 300 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: read well. I did not fully read it. I've got it. 301 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: I've read I've read excerpts. I met Camwell. I have 302 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: not fully absorbed the book. I should, but I was 303 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: more focused on getting mine out. 304 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: He does seem so genuine, doesn't he. I believe him. 305 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: I think I've been telling you this for two years 306 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: of this program. Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom hate each other, 307 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: Their staffs hate each other. They are they has been 308 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: for two decades, and everybody in California politics knows it. 309 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: That's why the question was asked. Everybody knows it. But 310 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: for him to, he will look you in the eye 311 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: and not only lie to you, but actually weave a 312 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: tale like this in such a vivid and colorful way. 313 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, well, then why did she, you know, 314 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: write that thing about you in the book and make 315 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: you look like, you know, such an ahole. Oh, she 316 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: was just adding color to the book for sales. Now 317 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: think about what he just said. Kamala Harris my very 318 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: good friend. We love each other, are you kidding? There's 319 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: no rivalry there.

He used 390 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: to be the leader of the Democrats in the State House, 391 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: the Assembly, and then he moved on from there to 392 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: become the mayor of San Francisco, and then well he 393 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: gave Kamala Harris. Shall we say a leg up in 394 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: her political career? Can I say leg up in this context? 395 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that right? A leg up? Yeah? I 396 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: think she got a leg up. It's fair to say. 397 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: I don't think Gavin got the same leg up. R 398 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: although who knows? It's San Francisco after all? Honestly, Mayor Brown, 399 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: you might not want to bring the lord's name into this. 400 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: As he looks at San Francisco, he might not look 401 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: down on it and say it's really his shining city 402 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: on a hill. More like Sodom and Gomorrah perhaps or worse, 403 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: certainly the Sodom part waited, by the way, what were 404 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: they doing in Gomorrah? Because we know what they were 405 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: doing in Sodom. Am I right? So Willie Brown is 406 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: absolutely corrupt and everybody knows it. And so here's Gavin 407 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: Newsom and a political right reporter, you know, just real 408 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: chummy with everybody, by the way, is you know they're there. 409 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: He's he's a journalist, my friends, he's completely nonpartisan and 410 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have a dog in this race or something. And uh, 411 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: and here they are bringing Willie Brown into the conversation. Look, 412 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: he just happens to be in this restaurant that is 413 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: closed for our podcast. How did he get in? Wow? 414 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: And there's a pre commitment. 415 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, what do you want? What? 416 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: Will he want a pardon? 417 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: Oh? 418 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: No, he wants to he wants yeah, And they're laughing 419 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: about how corrupt he is and how he needs a pardon. 420 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: In fact, Willie Brown even acknowledges it. 421 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 8: That's what I need. 422 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm a cruk. And it's funny because they're Democrats, guys, 423 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: I know. It's like, oh, all this Gavin news some 424 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: stuff you need to know. Okay. I love California. All 425 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: of my children were born in California. I raised them 426 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: in California. I grew up in California from the age 427 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: of thirteen. I've lived in California more than any other 428 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: place in my life until I've moved to Washington, d C. 429 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: I care about California because I love the state and 430 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: I know that it can be better. I've seen it, 431 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: I've lived in it when it was so much better. 432 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: So it's an important thing. But here's the deal. The 433 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: rest of the country, I don't think they really know 434 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, not nearly as much as they need to. 435 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: And hopefully, every single day, as he keeps giving us 436 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: more to talk about, you're getting to know him as 437 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: well as the rest of us do.
