WEBVTT - NEWSOM'S "EFF IT' MOMENT - AND HOW IT COULD SAVE AMERICA - 6.12.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:23.995 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Gavin 0:00:24.075 --> 0:00:28.555 Newsom has reached his effort moments, and it might be 0:00:28.635 --> 0:00:32.035 the moment we begin to save the democracy. The effort 0:00:32.675 --> 0:00:36.235 moment I will explain presently, But first there is an 0:00:36.235 --> 0:00:39.875 immediate and urgent question, and it is less what made 0:00:39.915 --> 0:00:43.075 Gavin Newsom step up than step up even higher the 0:00:43.115 --> 0:00:48.155 second time. It is more why haven't any other democratic 0:00:48.355 --> 0:00:51.955 so called leaders followed Newsom over the top into no 0:00:52.115 --> 0:00:54.755 man's land, even though he went first and discovered there 0:00:54.755 --> 0:00:58.475 are oh about one hundred two hundred million Americans just 0:00:58.555 --> 0:01:02.155 standing there waiting for somebody to lead them against Trump. 0:01:03.195 --> 0:01:08.755 If you missed Newsom's effort speech, and trust me I did, 0:01:08.795 --> 0:01:11.475 its only failure was its roll out. I'm going to 0:01:11.515 --> 0:01:14.515 play the whole thing at the end of this first 0:01:14.515 --> 0:01:18.475 segment because it was that good eight minutes of escalating 0:01:18.875 --> 0:01:23.995 but still suppressed righteous indignation bordering on rage, eight minutes 0:01:23.995 --> 0:01:27.355 building towards effet of which I think I am still 0:01:27.395 --> 0:01:32.395 the official East Coast exclusive distributor. I think I know 0:01:32.595 --> 0:01:37.595 my eight minute suppressed righteous indignation effort speeches, and that 0:01:37.635 --> 0:01:44.435 one was outstanding. But consider the larger context. Newsom's emergence, 0:01:45.195 --> 0:01:47.555 and this is a stupid analogy, but somehow it works, 0:01:47.795 --> 0:01:51.795 was like a caterpillar emerging as a gigantic butterfly, a 0:01:51.795 --> 0:01:57.755 butterfly equipped with nukes, a stealth bomber butterfly. And that 0:01:57.955 --> 0:02:01.235 was just last Friday, with his threat to crash Trump 0:02:01.395 --> 0:02:04.595 by withholding all of California's federal taxes, all six of 0:02:04.955 --> 0:02:09.995 ninety two billion dollars worth, the economic civil war game ender. 0:02:10.035 --> 0:02:14.275 I've been advocating out here in the wilderness for a decade. Hey, 0:02:15.035 --> 0:02:21.315 I have an idea. Only then the stealth bomber butterfly says, wait, 0:02:21.435 --> 0:02:23.555 I'm not finished yet, and he goes back inside the 0:02:23.555 --> 0:02:25.955 cocoon for a minute, and he comes out even larger 0:02:26.235 --> 0:02:30.115 with more nukes. And now he is the resistance. He 0:02:30.315 --> 0:02:33.995 is the Democratic Party. He is the hope to save America. 0:02:35.875 --> 0:02:38.275 All of what has been missing in a Democratic party 0:02:38.275 --> 0:02:41.435 that runs the gamut of political imagination lately from A 0:02:42.195 --> 0:02:46.995 to B. All of that that is missing, the rest 0:02:46.995 --> 0:02:53.675 of the alphabet has somehow wound up in Gavin Newsom. 0:02:53.835 --> 0:02:57.555 A week ago, Gavin Newsom was posting a podcast in 0:02:57.595 --> 0:03:03.475 which he interviewed seriously quote doctor, unquote Phil McGraw, doctor 0:03:03.475 --> 0:03:07.075 Phil a week ago, Phil, who then rode along on 0:03:07.235 --> 0:03:10.595 the ice Gestapo raids of civilians here in America a 0:03:10.635 --> 0:03:16.915 week ago Gavin Newsom was platforming him. June four, glad 0:03:16.915 --> 0:03:20.275 Hand interview that utter fraud Phil McGraw, after glad Hand 0:03:20.355 --> 0:03:24.155 interviewing Gingrich, Michael Savage, Charlie Kirk, and Steve Effing Bannon. 0:03:24.235 --> 0:03:27.515 Steve Effing Bannon June six, respond to Trump's threats to 0:03:27.595 --> 0:03:32.875 kneecap California by threatening to lead a tax strike by itself, 0:03:32.915 --> 0:03:36.835 the most liberal, progressive in your faced political protest proposed 0:03:37.075 --> 0:03:41.475 in this century. June seven, June eight, June nine, come 0:03:41.475 --> 0:03:45.235 back and top it, top the tax strike with calling 0:03:45.275 --> 0:03:50.675 the bluff of these Halloween mask bullies like this idiot 0:03:50.995 --> 0:03:56.115 dementia Jay Trump and Tom Homan, who's really tough now 0:03:56.115 --> 0:04:00.675 that he has appeared. Then June ten, give this speech. 0:04:02.635 --> 0:04:05.875 That's a hell of a week, Gavin. As an aside, 0:04:05.915 --> 0:04:10.595 I cannot fathom a faster reversal, a faster steer out 0:04:10.635 --> 0:04:13.715 from the both sides is let's negotiate with the Nazis. 0:04:13.795 --> 0:04:18.755 Kumbay a bullshit skid than the one that constituted Gavin 0:04:18.835 --> 0:04:22.555 Newsom's last week, nor a more successful one, nor a 0:04:22.635 --> 0:04:25.675 more important one. As a second aside, I don't care 0:04:26.235 --> 0:04:29.435 if the podcast and the both sides is bullshit where 0:04:29.475 --> 0:04:34.035 political calculations or the tax strike idea is a political calculation, 0:04:34.435 --> 0:04:37.515 or the speech is a political calculation, or the whole 0:04:37.515 --> 0:04:40.115 thing is a political calculation. About twenty twenty eight, I 0:04:40.235 --> 0:04:44.995 don't care to quote Lincoln about General Grant. I can't 0:04:45.035 --> 0:04:51.115 spare this man. He fights and again. It's not as 0:04:51.155 --> 0:04:55.075 if what he did was the daffy duck. First, drink 0:04:55.155 --> 0:04:59.595 some nitroglycerin, a goodly amount of gunpowder, some uranium two 0:04:59.635 --> 0:05:03.915 thirty eight, shake well, strike an ordinary match, and girls, 0:05:03.955 --> 0:05:07.995 you'd better hold on near boyfriends. It's that Gavin Newsom 0:05:08.075 --> 0:05:10.755 in five days did more practical damage to Trump, and 0:05:10.835 --> 0:05:14.755 even more importantly, gave more practical encouragement to Democrats, big 0:05:14.835 --> 0:05:18.395 D Democrats and small D Democrats alike, and our allies 0:05:18.595 --> 0:05:22.115 and our friends around the world. He did more good 0:05:22.755 --> 0:05:25.915 than the rest of the zombie Democratic Party has done 0:05:26.275 --> 0:05:31.635 since Joe Biden was elected. That reality that the playing 0:05:31.635 --> 0:05:38.115 field wasn't just tilted or stricken or empty, but completely 0:05:38.155 --> 0:05:42.875 denuded of everything plays its part. Nothing makes you stand 0:05:42.915 --> 0:05:45.955 out better, Nothing makes your courage an A plus, even 0:05:45.955 --> 0:05:48.955 if it might really only be a B minus in 0:05:48.995 --> 0:05:52.275 other circumstances. Nothing makes that stand out if there is 0:05:52.315 --> 0:05:58.195 only a blank canvas behind you. Obama on Trump's dismantling 0:05:58.195 --> 0:06:00.955 of democracy, Well, he put out a couple of tweets 0:06:00.995 --> 0:06:06.195 defending Obamacare. Chuck Schumer, He's convinced Trump will destroy himself 0:06:06.395 --> 0:06:09.035 and has apparently taken a year long vow of silence. 0:06:09.955 --> 0:06:15.275 Kamala Harris. You can tell me you had forgotten about 0:06:15.355 --> 0:06:19.595 Kamala Harris, hadn't you? I had Hillary Clinton a couple 0:06:19.595 --> 0:06:22.635 of passable one liners. Pete boutajeedge Oh, he grew a 0:06:22.635 --> 0:06:25.395 beard to a protest beard or a hockey playoff beard. 0:06:25.435 --> 0:06:30.035 I'm not sure which, Josh Shapiro. The exception to this, 0:06:30.075 --> 0:06:33.635 of course, is Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio Cortes, who 0:06:33.635 --> 0:06:36.275 went out there and rallied people and have fought the 0:06:36.315 --> 0:06:38.955 good f at fight. But unlike Newsome, they bluntly were 0:06:38.955 --> 0:06:42.515 not simultaneously blessed and cursed by the politician's worst enemy 0:06:42.755 --> 0:06:47.555 and his best friend. Events you can't threaten to cut 0:06:47.595 --> 0:06:51.475 off Trump's money genitals if he doesn't threaten yours first, 0:06:51.915 --> 0:06:55.635 and you can't dare his himmler to arrest you, if 0:06:55.635 --> 0:06:58.235 he doesn't threaten to arrest you, and you can't give 0:06:58.275 --> 0:07:01.435 a speech condemning Trump if you aren't his target, and 0:07:01.475 --> 0:07:04.155 you can't do any of that without the heft or 0:07:04.195 --> 0:07:08.795 impact unless you are a governor, and not just a governor, 0:07:08.795 --> 0:07:10.635 but the governor who happens to be in the eye 0:07:10.675 --> 0:07:15.035 of that moment's storm. On the other hand, you can't 0:07:15.115 --> 0:07:19.875 be any of those things if you are Chuck Schumer, useless, unimaginative, 0:07:19.955 --> 0:07:23.275 self interested, insisted it is still really nineteen ninety six. 0:07:23.395 --> 0:07:25.395 We're just going to get back to normal, and most 0:07:25.435 --> 0:07:30.315 of all, inflexible. The background to Newsom's week was his 0:07:30.355 --> 0:07:33.395 recognition that he had been going at the wrong speed, 0:07:33.515 --> 0:07:37.355 in the wrong direction, on the wrong track. To get 0:07:37.435 --> 0:07:41.275 to effort, you have to travel there first in your mind, 0:07:41.675 --> 0:07:43.675 and you have to be willing to actually go there 0:07:43.675 --> 0:07:47.675 and say, maybe maybe it's time to say the F word. 0:07:48.755 --> 0:07:51.275 Chuck Schumer is twenty five meetings with consultants and ten 0:07:51.315 --> 0:07:53.715 weeks of field research and at least one phone call 0:07:53.755 --> 0:07:57.355 with Ezracline before he is in the same time zone 0:07:57.675 --> 0:08:02.155 as the general vicinity of nearly within a day's ride 0:08:02.795 --> 0:08:10.355 of the suburbs of Effet. I think, I think you 0:08:10.435 --> 0:08:16.995 cannot reach Effet utterly, insincerely. There may be self interested elements, 0:08:17.075 --> 0:08:20.235 there may be scenarios of success you see as possibilities, 0:08:20.715 --> 0:08:23.435 unlikely and remote ones, but you really have to at 0:08:23.515 --> 0:08:27.675 least three quarters of the way realistically believe, yeah, this 0:08:27.715 --> 0:08:30.995 is it. You will say this, and then you will 0:08:31.035 --> 0:08:37.795 get fired, arrested, renditioned, disappeared, or perhaps the worst scenario 0:08:37.955 --> 0:08:41.235 that Gavin Newsom of last month could have envisioned. After 0:08:41.275 --> 0:08:44.915 you say it, doctor Phil won't come back for a 0:08:44.955 --> 0:08:52.355 second guest shot on the podcast. Instead, Gavin Newsom is 0:08:52.395 --> 0:08:58.995 suddenly Charles de Gaulle and George Washington and Admiral Dan 0:08:59.155 --> 0:09:06.835 the Torpedoes full speed ahead. Farragut historical trivia. When Admiral 0:09:06.915 --> 0:09:10.235 Farragut joined the US Navy as the Civil War started, 0:09:10.275 --> 0:09:15.355 he was living in Hastings on Hudson, New York, much 0:09:15.435 --> 0:09:19.195 later my hometown. His house in my house about a 0:09:19.235 --> 0:09:23.115 fifteen minute walk. He was a Southerner. He got so 0:09:23.515 --> 0:09:28.915 pissed off at the Confederacy he moved to my hometown. 0:09:29.995 --> 0:09:36.875 That is your effet moment. My only true frame of 0:09:36.915 --> 0:09:39.835 reference on the subject of effet moments is naturally my 0:09:39.915 --> 0:09:43.555 own small effort moment. I had done commentaries, I had 0:09:43.555 --> 0:09:46.035 grown increasingly anti Bush, and then one day I read 0:09:46.075 --> 0:09:49.875 something Donald Rumsfeldt said about us. His critics, Bush's critics, 0:09:49.915 --> 0:09:53.035 IRAQS critics said we were suffering from quote moral or 0:09:53.035 --> 0:09:59.915 intellectual confusion, compared us to those who appeased Hitler, and 0:10:00.075 --> 0:10:06.435 I detonated, and the sound I heard was af I 0:10:06.515 --> 0:10:08.995 fully expected the commentary I wrote would get me fired. 0:10:09.035 --> 0:10:11.395 Instead it got me double the audience, and then there 0:10:11.475 --> 0:10:14.035 was the YouTube thing, and then all the money to 0:10:14.075 --> 0:10:17.235 my bosses, and then the luttle money to me. It 0:10:17.275 --> 0:10:20.635 bought me five years of room to do such commentaries 0:10:20.675 --> 0:10:23.995 before NBC found a more unprincipled and easier way to 0:10:24.035 --> 0:10:26.635 make that money. By what a five years? 0:10:26.715 --> 0:10:28.195 Huh? 0:10:28.635 --> 0:10:32.955 Do not undervalue what Governor Newsom has done just the speech. 0:10:34.555 --> 0:10:37.435 John Kerry told me that that rumsfeld commentary from two 0:10:37.475 --> 0:10:40.115 thousand and six, and my rage at the manipulation of 0:10:40.155 --> 0:10:43.075 the terror warnings by Bush at the same time was 0:10:43.115 --> 0:10:47.635 what got democratic electeds to rage in the same way 0:10:47.795 --> 0:10:49.875 just before the two thousand and six mid terms. Carry 0:10:49.915 --> 0:10:51.795 said it won them the mid terms. I said, I 0:10:51.875 --> 0:10:54.915 didn't believe him for a minute, and worshyet if I did. 0:10:55.155 --> 0:10:56.995 What did that say about the Democrats who should have 0:10:57.035 --> 0:11:02.795 been leading that not following me? It said, Carrie said 0:11:03.035 --> 0:11:05.955 that we will always let somebody else run face first 0:11:05.995 --> 0:11:08.595 into the brick wall and put the hole in it 0:11:08.755 --> 0:11:16.195 for us. Gavin Newsom has run face first into the 0:11:16.195 --> 0:11:18.755 brick wall and put the hole in it for us. 0:11:19.755 --> 0:11:21.275 And then, by the way, just in case the hole 0:11:21.355 --> 0:11:25.075 wasn't big enough or the noise wasn't loud enough, he 0:11:25.195 --> 0:11:28.395 circled around the wall, came back to the beginning point 0:11:28.395 --> 0:11:30.635 and ran face first into it again, and he put 0:11:30.635 --> 0:11:33.835 a second hole in it. Everybody can get through it now, 0:11:34.435 --> 0:11:40.595 even Schumer could. And the lesson from what Gavin Newsom 0:11:40.635 --> 0:11:43.995 did is this, do not restrain yourself nor your language. 0:11:43.995 --> 0:11:47.515 Do not pretend Trump is sane or can be negotiated with. 0:11:47.835 --> 0:11:50.835 Do not try to tamp down the madness of Maga. 0:11:50.955 --> 0:11:54.915 Confront it and dare them to fight about it. And 0:11:55.115 --> 0:11:59.195 always be animated by that one guiding principle, the one 0:11:59.395 --> 0:12:04.515 lesson first learned somewhere by one of our caveman ancestors 0:12:04.995 --> 0:12:07.475 who hit the bully in the head with a rock, 0:12:08.875 --> 0:12:12.835 the lesson that guided George Washington, the lesson that guided 0:12:13.315 --> 0:12:16.995 Admiral David Farragut of Hastings on Hudson, New York, and 0:12:17.275 --> 0:12:20.435 the lesson that clearly has guided Gavin Newsom, the one 0:12:20.835 --> 0:12:54.675 guiding principle affet. Practically speaking, by the way, the LA disturbances, 0:12:55.115 --> 0:12:57.315 and sadly, I think the number of arrests per day 0:12:57.355 --> 0:13:00.915 has now exceeded the number of arrests at the last 0:13:00.995 --> 0:13:03.955 Lakers victory celebration in twenty twenty. It is like eighty 0:13:04.075 --> 0:13:07.755 per day compared to seventy six arrests at the Laker thing. 0:13:08.355 --> 0:13:14.715 Practically speaking, the LA disturbances. After Trump's terrorist attack, his 0:13:14.875 --> 0:13:18.955 domestic terror attack against La and the people who live there, 0:13:20.355 --> 0:13:27.395 the LA disturbances pretty much ended, or became really really contained. 0:13:28.355 --> 0:13:33.835 Where are all the riots over there on that one block? Ended? 0:13:33.835 --> 0:13:37.235 When Mayor Karen Bass had her own effort moment and 0:13:37.395 --> 0:13:42.115 imposed a curfew Tuesday night. I can't speak to last night. 0:13:42.155 --> 0:13:45.235 I am recording this last night, but nearly all of 0:13:45.275 --> 0:13:52.075 the arrests Tuesday were really like this. You're arrested. Now 0:13:52.195 --> 0:13:55.115 get out of this neighborhood right here. Okay, you're not 0:13:55.235 --> 0:13:59.235 arrested anymore. And nearly, and this is from all the 0:13:59.235 --> 0:14:02.315 news reporters on the scene, nearly all of those who 0:14:02.355 --> 0:14:06.315 were arrested for curfew violations did not know a curfew 0:14:06.355 --> 0:14:11.435 had been imposed, per local all news radio my alma 0:14:11.475 --> 0:14:15.835 mater KNX. The biggest clash with an LA citizen who 0:14:15.875 --> 0:14:18.595 really did know there was a curfew and defied it 0:14:18.795 --> 0:14:23.315 was a woman who lives near police headquarters and she 0:14:23.515 --> 0:14:28.955 went out anyway after eight pm to walk her dog. 0:14:30.635 --> 0:14:35.635 Officers LAPD, not Ice, not the guard, not the Marines, 0:14:36.035 --> 0:14:41.355 not evil Batman. Lapd confronted her and she said, efitt, 0:14:41.635 --> 0:14:46.115 my dog has to take a with Southern California practicality 0:14:46.275 --> 0:14:50.315 an underrated thing, she says. A cordon of officers then 0:14:50.475 --> 0:14:54.155 walked with her and her dog the breed name has 0:14:54.195 --> 0:14:58.755 been changed to protect the innocent, until the dog stopped, 0:14:59.875 --> 0:15:02.755 she says, She and the officers, all of them in 0:15:02.795 --> 0:15:06.355 their riot gear. Then all all waited and watched and 0:15:06.395 --> 0:15:11.075 stood around and looked until the dog pooped, and then 0:15:11.395 --> 0:15:15.235 she gathered it up, and then they all escorted her 0:15:15.315 --> 0:15:17.955 and the dog and the bag of dog poop back 0:15:18.075 --> 0:15:23.555 to her apartment. This is not to say it won't 0:15:23.555 --> 0:15:28.835 get worse. This is a domestic terror attack. Trump will 0:15:28.835 --> 0:15:30.875 try it again. If not in Los Angeles, he will 0:15:30.915 --> 0:15:33.435 try it again somewhere. He may try it again today. 0:15:33.635 --> 0:15:35.435 He may have tried it again between the time I 0:15:35.475 --> 0:15:38.235 recorded this in the time you listen to it. This 0:15:38.635 --> 0:15:40.795 is to say, though, that nothing will make Trump look 0:15:40.835 --> 0:15:45.275 more foolish than a situation that has been resolved by 0:15:45.315 --> 0:15:51.395 a mayor with a curfew before his stormtroopers can get 0:15:51.435 --> 0:15:56.075 off their transports, or nothing will make him look more 0:15:56.115 --> 0:16:00.475 stupid that when those stormtroopers hit the streets of American cities, 0:16:00.675 --> 0:16:02.795 they will find the biggest damage they have to deal 0:16:02.835 --> 0:16:11.035 with is unauthor dog shit. And by the way, that 0:16:11.035 --> 0:16:13.515 that phrase, which I won't repeat, that's what this all 0:16:13.555 --> 0:16:17.675 looks like to America. Don't don't bother with what they're 0:16:17.715 --> 0:16:20.195 telling you from the polling at CNN or ABC or 0:16:20.195 --> 0:16:25.995 CBS or NBC talk about dog poop. You gov for 0:16:26.115 --> 0:16:33.395 CBS News still alive, defiantly alive, pretending that Edward R. 0:16:33.475 --> 0:16:37.355 Murrow is the president of News. Now you gov pulling 0:16:37.395 --> 0:16:40.595 for CBS on this fascist wet dream of the last week. 0:16:40.795 --> 0:16:43.595 Do you approve of deploying the National Guard to LA? 0:16:43.875 --> 0:16:49.515 Approve thirty eight percent, disapprove forty five percent. That is 0:16:49.675 --> 0:16:54.315 underwater by seven? Do you approve of deploying the Marines 0:16:54.355 --> 0:16:57.875 to LA? Approved thirty four percent, disapprove forty seven that's 0:16:57.915 --> 0:17:01.995 underwater by thirteen. I've said before Trump does not need 0:17:02.075 --> 0:17:05.275 non MAGA support, and that remains true. What he's not 0:17:05.395 --> 0:17:10.515 getting here is full magas support. You can't have a 0:17:10.555 --> 0:17:13.755 thirty four percent approval on one of your policies and 0:17:13.835 --> 0:17:18.555 not have a significant number of your supporters opposing it, 0:17:19.355 --> 0:17:22.635 knowing it is wrong, knowing it won't work, knowing it 0:17:22.675 --> 0:17:25.795 will not end well. One third approval on these moves 0:17:25.835 --> 0:17:32.675 means there are Trump supporters who are backing away. The 0:17:32.675 --> 0:17:36.075 first hearing today, incidentally, is on the Newsome suit to 0:17:36.235 --> 0:17:39.755 rule the usurpation of his control of the California National Guard, 0:17:39.795 --> 0:17:43.675 which is the law. The usurpation of that is illegal. 0:17:43.955 --> 0:17:46.235 That is what he wants from the court. And he 0:17:46.315 --> 0:17:49.835 wants them ordered to dispersed or returned to the governor's control, 0:17:50.075 --> 0:17:52.915 which is what the law says. And there is a 0:17:52.955 --> 0:17:56.115 hearing upcoming on the bid to stop guard Or Marines 0:17:56.155 --> 0:17:59.955 from going along with the ice cruise. The Gestapo on raids. 0:18:00.355 --> 0:18:05.875 Leave that to the professionals, doctor Phil. In the interim, 0:18:06.675 --> 0:18:09.835 the other biggest news story in southern California the thing 0:18:09.875 --> 0:18:13.955 they go to or yesterday anyway, went to after the 0:18:14.075 --> 0:18:20.435 latest from the one block long protest. Quiet here, it's 0:18:20.475 --> 0:18:24.195 been quiet for several hours. There's a guy over there standing. 0:18:24.835 --> 0:18:27.835 Oh no, he's waiting for the bus. In the interim, 0:18:27.875 --> 0:18:30.435 the other biggest news story in southern California appears to 0:18:30.515 --> 0:18:36.835 be word the sewer taxaes, sewer taxes. It's serious stuff. 0:18:37.075 --> 0:18:43.115 Sewer taxes are going up in Santa Monica. Oh no, 0:18:44.395 --> 0:18:47.115 where will Stephen Miller stay when he goes back to 0:18:47.155 --> 0:18:47.995 his hometown. 0:18:57.035 --> 0:19:00.835 Who's gonna think of Stephen Miller's sewer? Won't somebody think 0:19:00.875 --> 0:19:03.395 of Stephen Miller and the sewer he lives in? What 0:19:03.515 --> 0:19:08.475 about Stephen Miller's sower? Mean me, that's Steven Miller. 0:19:08.475 --> 0:19:12.115 Noise now more as promised about Newsom and the speech, 0:19:12.155 --> 0:19:14.155 and before I play the whole thing, make no mistake 0:19:14.155 --> 0:19:17.275 about it. Some of Trump's dumber slaves have now confirmed 0:19:17.315 --> 0:19:22.675 Newsom is the new target Obama Hillary Biden. They'll always 0:19:22.715 --> 0:19:27.395 have a villain role place in the Trump fantasphere. But 0:19:27.555 --> 0:19:33.675 it is now about the governor of California. This has 0:19:33.715 --> 0:19:39.115 been the watershed week. Listen to that stupid which Christy Nome. 0:19:39.435 --> 0:19:42.515 Governor Newsom has done a disservice to the status of 0:19:42.595 --> 0:19:46.115 California for many years. The people there should never elect 0:19:46.195 --> 0:19:48.075 him into a leadership position ever again. 0:19:49.715 --> 0:19:52.395 Companies closely and competent when it comes. 0:19:53.035 --> 0:19:55.075 By the way, did you hear her through the deviated 0:19:55.115 --> 0:20:00.075 septum there? Kind to know if I'm hernk nastayin sm California. 0:20:00.155 --> 0:20:04.235 She called it a status. How many statuses do we have? Christy? 0:20:04.755 --> 0:20:09.395 We have fifty danuses? Stayeth the United Stanuth, I'm America kan. 0:20:10.435 --> 0:20:12.915 This is somebody else I would not vouch for passing 0:20:13.075 --> 0:20:18.035 a drug test. Boys, she is just the worst, isn't she? 0:20:20.475 --> 0:20:23.955 Don't ever get a botox injection right in your brain? Kids? 0:20:24.995 --> 0:20:27.915 Worse than that the holier than now Speaker Mike Johnson, 0:20:28.235 --> 0:20:31.715 you know, the man who always stops by and wants 0:20:31.715 --> 0:20:33.755 to know how many closets there are in this house. 0:20:35.795 --> 0:20:40.475 He actually and pretty obviously publicly tried to get somebody 0:20:40.515 --> 0:20:43.395 to physically attack Gavin Newsom. That's not my lane. I'm 0:20:43.435 --> 0:20:45.835 not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin 0:20:45.875 --> 0:20:48.275 Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tart 0:20:48.315 --> 0:20:50.355 and feathered, I'll say that. I mean, look, he's standing 0:20:50.435 --> 0:20:54.155 in the way of when you are that deeply into 0:20:54.195 --> 0:20:57.195 a completely fake life in which you tell yourself your 0:20:57.195 --> 0:21:02.555 own personality reality is not real, and your religious fervor 0:21:02.675 --> 0:21:05.275 is the true you, you can throw out terms like 0:21:05.395 --> 0:21:08.355 he should be tired and feathered without worrying that you 0:21:08.395 --> 0:21:11.715 are describing a form of torture and in fact public 0:21:11.835 --> 0:21:15.555 murder on occasion. It is not a metaphor. It is 0:21:15.595 --> 0:21:22.515 not a colorful Southern phrase like gumbo. It is a 0:21:22.555 --> 0:21:26.715 stochastic call for violence against Gavin Newsom, and Speaker Johnson 0:21:26.755 --> 0:21:31.555 should be prosecuted for it, because, of course, the entire 0:21:31.595 --> 0:21:34.915 facade of the recent Maga anti violent rhetoric kick that 0:21:35.235 --> 0:21:40.835 just has fallen apart. Incidentally, remember the screams to arrest 0:21:41.635 --> 0:21:47.555 former FBI Director Comy or execute him for treason because 0:21:47.555 --> 0:21:51.115 he wrote eighty six forty seven on Seashells, as if 0:21:51.155 --> 0:21:55.675 that had been some sort of assassination call. As opposed 0:21:55.715 --> 0:21:58.035 to the use of the colloquial term eighty six, which 0:21:58.075 --> 0:22:01.795 means fire him or we're out of that product. Jesse 0:22:01.995 --> 0:22:05.035 Waters Moron Hour, which is the title of the eight 0:22:05.075 --> 0:22:09.355 PM show on Fox. Jesse Waters Moron Hour did the 0:22:09.395 --> 0:22:12.515 story about the firing of Terry Moran by the cowards 0:22:12.515 --> 0:22:16.155 at Bob Iger's ABC News the chiron over the Jesse 0:22:16.235 --> 0:22:22.595 Waters screen. Terry Moran gets eighty six by ABC, so 0:22:22.675 --> 0:22:26.915 they killed him. So if I say eighty six Trump's 0:22:27.035 --> 0:22:30.475 small dick parade Saturday in DC, what did I just say? 0:22:31.155 --> 0:22:33.275 Is that a cony eighty six or is that a 0:22:33.355 --> 0:22:36.115 Jesse Water's eighty six? Or does it change depending on 0:22:36.155 --> 0:22:38.595 the day? And please tell me, dear leader, where can 0:22:38.635 --> 0:22:43.955 I get an accurate schedule or calendar? Every time? I 0:22:44.075 --> 0:22:47.315 thank god how these people are stupid? I remember that 0:22:47.435 --> 0:22:50.435 given the advantages baked into the American system for a 0:22:50.475 --> 0:22:53.515 government in power, good or evil, to do whatever it wants, 0:22:53.715 --> 0:22:57.475 I thank god these people are that stupid. A smart 0:22:57.555 --> 0:23:04.075 Trump would be a real problem. And that brings us 0:23:04.235 --> 0:23:08.955 full ser that perhaps was the reality behind Gavin Newsom's 0:23:09.075 --> 0:23:14.355 effort moment. I'd like to ask him that reality that 0:23:14.395 --> 0:23:18.395 Trump isn't that smart, that this one may look like 0:23:18.435 --> 0:23:22.955 a great idea, but troops on the streets, that's not 0:23:23.035 --> 0:23:27.315 a good idea. It's not a good look. The parade 0:23:27.555 --> 0:23:31.155 may be worse than the invasion and the terrorist attack 0:23:31.275 --> 0:23:35.395 by Trump in LA. All you have to do in 0:23:35.435 --> 0:23:39.555 response to that is stop playing Trump's version of the 0:23:39.595 --> 0:23:44.595 Trump Home Game and introduce him instead to a new 0:23:44.715 --> 0:23:50.395 version in which Mike Tyson's first law applies. And when 0:23:50.435 --> 0:23:53.875 you do that, Trump will have no chance long term anyway. 0:23:54.515 --> 0:23:59.195 Mike Tyson's law, that's my seventh cousin. Mike Tyson's law 0:23:59.635 --> 0:24:01.995 is that everybody has a plan until they get punched 0:24:01.995 --> 0:24:05.795 in the face. As you listen to the whole of 0:24:05.835 --> 0:24:10.035 Gavin Newsom's speech, and I'll return with worst persons after 0:24:10.115 --> 0:24:12.555 it and after the commercial break that follows it. My 0:24:12.755 --> 0:24:17.635 connoisseur's advice, as somebody who has built these kind of 0:24:17.995 --> 0:24:21.355 public addresses designed to be given on TV, is to 0:24:21.515 --> 0:24:27.435 listen for the slow burn. To listen how much differently 0:24:27.515 --> 0:24:29.675 he sounds at the end that at that beginning, and 0:24:29.715 --> 0:24:33.275 to see if you notice where he escalates and the 0:24:33.395 --> 0:24:39.435 rapidly decreasing time he takes between each metaphorical punch in 0:24:39.515 --> 0:24:46.075 the face or in the body, Gavin Newsom throws, this 0:24:46.275 --> 0:24:51.355 is not just the first grown up speech responding to 0:24:51.395 --> 0:24:54.795 Trump's evil, it is a really good one too, and 0:24:54.875 --> 0:24:59.755 it ends with Trump getting metaphorically punched in the face 0:25:01.715 --> 0:25:03.035 several times. 0:25:04.035 --> 0:25:06.075 I want to say words about the events of the 0:25:06.115 --> 0:25:10.035 last few days. This past weekend, federal agents conducted large 0:25:10.035 --> 0:25:14.195 scale workplace raids in and around Los Angeles. Those raids 0:25:14.235 --> 0:25:18.835 continue as I speak. California is no stranger to immigration enforcement. 0:25:19.195 --> 0:25:23.035 But instead of focusing on undocumented immigrants with serious criminal 0:25:23.075 --> 0:25:27.035 records and people with final deportation orders, a strategy both 0:25:27.075 --> 0:25:33.715 parties have long supported, this administration is pushing mass deportations indiscriminately, 0:25:33.755 --> 0:25:38.675 targeting hardworking immigrant families, regardless of their roots or risk. 0:25:39.475 --> 0:25:43.555 What's happening right now is very different than anything we've 0:25:43.595 --> 0:25:47.355 seen before. On Saturday morning, when federal agents jumped out 0:25:47.395 --> 0:25:50.315 of an unmarked van near a home depot parking lot, 0:25:50.515 --> 0:25:54.475 they began grabbing people, a deliberate targeting of a heavily 0:25:54.555 --> 0:25:57.915 Latino suburb. A similar scene played out when a clothing 0:25:57.915 --> 0:26:02.435 company was raided downtown. In other actions, a US citizen 0:26:02.955 --> 0:26:09.795 nine months pregnant was arrested, a four year old girl, taken, families, separated, friends, 0:26:09.995 --> 0:26:15.595 quite literally disappearing. In response, every day, Angelino's came out 0:26:15.715 --> 0:26:19.875 to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and assembly 0:26:20.235 --> 0:26:24.475 to protest their government's actions. In turn, the state of 0:26:24.515 --> 0:26:28.115 California and the City and County of Los Angeles sent 0:26:28.235 --> 0:26:31.395 our police officers to help keep the peace, and with 0:26:31.475 --> 0:26:36.115 some exceptions, they were successful. Like many states, California is 0:26:36.235 --> 0:26:40.155 no stranger to this sort of unrest. We manage it 0:26:40.195 --> 0:26:44.115 regularly and with our own law enforcement. But this again 0:26:44.515 --> 0:26:48.635 was different. What then ensued was the use of tear gas, 0:26:49.075 --> 0:26:54.115 flash bang grenades, rubber bullets, federal agents detaining people in 0:26:54.275 --> 0:27:00.675 undermining their due process rights. Donald Trump, without consulting California 0:27:00.715 --> 0:27:04.875 law enforcement leaders, commandeered two thousand of our state its 0:27:04.955 --> 0:27:09.035 National Guard members to deploy on our streets illegally and 0:27:09.075 --> 0:27:12.435 for no reason. This brazen abuse of power by a 0:27:12.475 --> 0:27:18.035 sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, 0:27:18.235 --> 0:27:22.075 and even our National Guard at risk. That's when the 0:27:22.155 --> 0:27:26.235 downward spiral began. He doubled down on his dangerous National 0:27:26.235 --> 0:27:30.395 Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder, and the 0:27:30.435 --> 0:27:34.195 president he did it on purpose. As the news spread 0:27:34.235 --> 0:27:39.155 throughout La, anxiety for family and friends ramped up. Protests 0:27:39.315 --> 0:27:43.915 started again. By night, several dozen law breakers became violent 0:27:44.195 --> 0:27:48.835 and destructive. They vandalized property, they tried to assault police officers. 0:27:48.875 --> 0:27:51.395 Many of you have seen the video clips of cars 0:27:51.435 --> 0:27:54.715 burning on cable news. If you incite violence, I want 0:27:54.755 --> 0:27:57.235 to be clear about this, If you incite violence or 0:27:57.235 --> 0:28:00.355 destroy our communities, you're going to be held to account. 0:28:00.675 --> 0:28:04.515 That kind of criminal behavior will not be tolerated full stop. Already, 0:28:04.755 --> 0:28:07.475 more than two hundred and twenty people have been arrested, 0:28:07.755 --> 0:28:11.075 and we're reviewing tapes to build additional cases, and people 0:28:11.155 --> 0:28:15.435 will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Again, 0:28:15.915 --> 0:28:19.395 thanks to our law enforcement officers and the majority of 0:28:19.515 --> 0:28:24.555 Angelinos who protested peacefully, the situation was winding down and 0:28:24.715 --> 0:28:28.915 was concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown. But 0:28:29.555 --> 0:28:33.315 that's not what Donald Trump wanted. He again chose escalation. 0:28:33.995 --> 0:28:38.395 He chose more force, He chose theatrics over public safety. 0:28:38.755 --> 0:28:42.955 He federalized another two thousand Guard members. He deployed more 0:28:42.995 --> 0:28:47.635
