Speaker 2: early and I'm just like, damn Gevin, like you know

Speaker 2: the outlook on the world right now would be different
Speaker 2: if they were to put you in at the two
Speaker 2: yard line and gave you the ball, but we went
Speaker 2: with somebody else they put. They went with a different
Speaker 2: play and then they threw an interception on the two
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: Oh mor Shaun. Canvin? Can Govin be honest with you
Speaker 1: and I as his family and partners here and tell
Speaker 1: us really how that went down to what happened or
Speaker 1: Gavin you can't really get into that right now, partner,
Speaker 1: I don't think he will.
Speaker 3: First of all, I've been doing this long enough to know.
Speaker 3: You know, I just saw what happened. We all just
Speaker 3: heard what happened. Doug. You so he didn't answer the
Speaker 3: damn question. Marshawn, are you running?
Speaker 2: I'm in, You're in, I'm in. I'm telling it. Look,
Speaker 2: I told you I got you right here. All I
Speaker 2: need is the blueprint.
Speaker 3: Run it out of time. You need more than a bruplet.
Speaker 3: You need signatures to get on the ballot and lose
Speaker 3: signatures we call it. You need filing fees, You need
Speaker 3: a campaign team, and you need to get prepared we
Speaker 3: got some.
Speaker 1: Work to do. We got some work to do, Gavin.
Speaker 1: But you know, but we have time to get work done.
Speaker 2: Man. Well I'm I'm I'm finna do like the government do.
Speaker 2: I got back pay on some of these fees from
Speaker 2: all this bread that I've been putting into my community
Speaker 2: since two thousand and three or four, So I want
Speaker 2: back pay from all of that, and then they could
Speaker 2: just use that to put toward my fees or it
Speaker 2: don't work like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, does it, Gavin.
Speaker 3: I cat, we got a lot of work to do
Speaker 3: to figure this damn thing out. But Marshawan, I'm not
Speaker 3: even messing around. Man, You're this is this. I'm already
Speaker 3: getting calls from potential candidates for governors, just checking in,
Speaker 3: just checking in. What do you think? What are you
Speaker 3: hearing who's looking to run for governor? What's you know?
Speaker 3: Mayor rather, what's so? What are your thoughts? What do
Speaker 3: you think the city really needs? So I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: you're not gonna have a lot of time to figure
Speaker 3: this out, man.
Speaker 2: We know what the city need.
Speaker 3: They need you.
Speaker 2: Your city needing. Matter of fact, I'm on my way
Speaker 2: up here after I leave from Seattle.
Speaker 3: Well, Doug, we didn't get a straight answer from Marshawns.
Speaker 2: You said we ain't getting no straight answer? What more straight? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean can it be in a ship? I mean
Speaker 2: I told you I'm going, Uh, I'll beat here after
Speaker 2: I leave Seattle on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're gonna have a meeting, Gavin. I think
Speaker 1: we'll do a meeting maybe in my man cave on Sunday.
Speaker 1: How about that, Galvin? Can are you there?
Speaker 2: Can we or is that a conflict and interest? If
Speaker 2: I've just come to the governor House and Jesus no,
Speaker 2: I then.
Speaker 3: No conflict of it. This is how it works. People
Speaker 3: in politics hang out with people in politics that want
Speaker 3: to be in politics. We all get together, we compare notes,
Speaker 3: see how we can add value. All right, this may
Speaker 3: have gotten real, very real. This is interesting. I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's very interesting. And we're gonna tease
Speaker 1: everybody that with this, and then we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: meeting on Sunday. But I love this.
Speaker 3: I've tried to figure out if he's serious. Now I
Speaker 3: think he's maybe serious.
Speaker 2: Doug, No, what you mean I'm trying to figure out?
Speaker 3: Like, but this is serious, Marshaun, this is a a
Speaker 3: couple hundred days away, meaning this is when I said
Speaker 3: a couple hundred think it's one hundred and twenty days
Speaker 3: after they certify their recall.
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. As far as like the
Speaker 2: fees and all the red tape that motherfuckers used to
Speaker 2: go through. The motherfucker that's in the big office right
Speaker 2: now showed you that that ain't how we do shit
Speaker 2: no more out here. So all of that old school
Speaker 2: thinking of what the fuck was going on before that
Speaker 2: shit is a thing that a pass and Big Dog
Speaker 2: just showed that when you let your nuts drop some
Speaker 2: of that bullshit that be going on, that ain't really
Speaker 2: what a motherfucker won't. And then when they dropped the
Speaker 2: ball not putting you in the game, coach, I don't
Speaker 2: know what the fuck they had going on there, but
Speaker 2: he just made it clear that you know, certain shit
Speaker 2: don't that shit don't fly no more. It's a new wave.
Speaker 2: It's a new wave right now. We're in a new era.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of different type of shit that's going
Speaker 2: on and all of that shit. So yeah, hell yeah,
Speaker 2: we gotta come with the right strategic.
Speaker 1: So needless to say, Gavin, We're gonna have a good
Speaker 1: meeting on Sunday, met and more Seawn.
Speaker 3: It just got a hell of a lot more interesting
Speaker 3: than watching football with you on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Well, well, Gavin, on that note, how was your week
Speaker 1: to DC? Before he gets before we get to the
Speaker 1: new segment of the questions that everyone's asked, which are
Speaker 1: some great ones, quickly recap how your week the DC was?
Speaker 1: It was?
Speaker 3: It was thirty six hours and uh got in, spent
Speaker 3: half the day, more than half the day.
Speaker 2: Was he asleep for more than a half No, I
Speaker 2: mean it was.
Speaker 3: I spent most of the day at the White House.
Speaker 3: Just and I say that. I'm not saying that to
Speaker 3: impress any buddy. I know it sounds ridiculous, you know,
Speaker 3: where'd you spend your day? The White House? But with
Speaker 3: intention to address all kinds of issues to make sure
Speaker 3: that we locked things down for the state of California.
Speaker 2: We all let that meeting.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, let's go through the I mean, from
Speaker 3: the Chief of Staff to uh, you know, the National
Speaker 3: Security Advisor, to the senior Advisors to OMB, which is
Speaker 3: the Office of Management Budget folks. I met with EPA folks,
Speaker 3: which Environmental Protection HCV folks. HHSS was Health and Human
Speaker 3: Service where RFK Junior maybe the next HSS secretary met
Speaker 3: with Interior where my old friend Doug Bergman, uh the
Speaker 3: current governor out there in North Dakota, maybe the next
Speaker 3: Interior secretary.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: So just met with all kinds of folks uh, and
Speaker 3: then met with the president.
Speaker 1: Wellvin, did you like walk to the front door ring
Speaker 1: the doorbell or you go on the backside.
Speaker 2: Wait, what the fuck do you be talking about? Sometimes?
Speaker 1: You know, people don't want to know.
Speaker 3: You know what I will say though, true story, I
Speaker 3: forgot my I D so I am lucky I got in.
Speaker 3: They don't screw around. I just did have my ID.
Speaker 3: They're like, sir, where's your ID? And I'm like, uh,
Speaker 3: don't have it. And it became like a whole damn
Speaker 3: thing extended secondary. Uh, you know, they had to We
Speaker 3: didn't get out of the car. We had the dogs
Speaker 3: run around the car. Finally I found something in my
Speaker 3: cell phone that we're able to give those they don't
Speaker 3: screw around at the White House.
Speaker 2: That's like when I go to out the country and
Speaker 2: I have to go to all this secondary and third, deary,
Speaker 2: we need to talk about my like my past, some
Speaker 2: of the some of the inkings on my ship. We
Speaker 2: need to go take care of that.
Speaker 1: Marshawn. We don't have we don't have nine hours right now, Marshawn.
Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3: We're going to this guy's money for Mayo. We may
Speaker 3: need to know a little bit more about him.
Speaker 2: Jesus, why after what I just told you, after what
Speaker 2: we just watched. This motherfucker dude.
Speaker 3: I don't don't share.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't matter, but I I'm just saying, when I
Speaker 2: try to cross the borders getting out of the country,
Speaker 2: they I get flagged.
Speaker 1: Govin this dude disappointed a kid, a guy that allegedly
Speaker 1: like slept with a minor as what defense secretary? I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, bro, No, it's a little weird.
Speaker 3: Well just not start. The Defense secretary is some guy
Speaker 3: you've seen that that sells some products like online and
Speaker 3: not not the pillow guy, but this this guy from
Speaker 3: Fox News who's literally just a morning Fox News guy.
Speaker 3: So he kind of looks the part. He's got some
Speaker 3: good looking tattoos, I guess. And uh, and so Trump said, Hey,
Speaker 3: that's my Defense secretary to lead the world's most fierce
Speaker 3: and proud military. So he's a guy you got Gates
Speaker 3: to your point, who resigned from Congress before the Ethics
Speaker 3: Committee report can come out because reports don't come out
Speaker 3: for ex congressman, and it was about to come out
Speaker 3: on the allegations that you just suggested as a really
Speaker 3: it's to underage girls.
Speaker 2: And no, I just got reggae shit, all that weird
Speaker 2: ass shit. I ain't for all that.
Speaker 3: Man, these are allegations. There was an independent a review
Speaker 3: and the Speaker of the House, Johnson, saying, uh, as
Speaker 3: you know, a man of total objectivity and faith, uh
Speaker 3: and devotion to you know, decency and and the principles
Speaker 3: and the Foundations and the Ten Commandments, said we're not
Speaker 3: going to allow that ethics port to be public.
Speaker 2: So he reformed something, is what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: No I did well. I'm saying he preaches a lot,
Speaker 3: but he sure as hell doesn't seem to be practicing
Speaker 3: here as it relates to trying to hide some of
Speaker 3: the facts of an ethics report, there's nothing to hide.
Speaker 3: He should release the ethics report. He's not doing it.
Speaker 3: So but you got all that, and then you got
Speaker 3: the guy who you know believes in a lot of
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories across the spectrum of issues in RFK juniors
Speaker 3: being proposed to HHS secretary. You got Christy nom the
Speaker 3: South Dakota governor to be head of Old Man Security.
Speaker 3: Don't even get me started there. It's a hell of
Speaker 3: hell of a group. So you talked to me about
Speaker 3: Bennett and Sherman. I'm feeling pretty good about Oakland right now.
Speaker 2: That's why I was saying that. Sound like I need
Speaker 2: to say, you know, the mayorshit is cool, but I
Speaker 2: probably need to go to the White House and go
Speaker 2: get a job up there.
Speaker 1: Hey, Gavin, since Trump hasn't called you back, you leve
Speaker 1: posted note saying hey, hey Donald or President, call me
Speaker 1: when you get in or on the chairish like.
Speaker 3: That, just so he came in. It was a hell
Speaker 3: of I will say, just spending time with Biden, comparing
Speaker 3: contrasting our notes in terms of how he felt about
Speaker 3: the election, all this stuff I can't share, God, I
Speaker 3: wish I could share.
Speaker 1: Well, you have a safe space here, Gavin. This is
Speaker 1: a circle of trust.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I trust me. I'm so tempted. But it
Speaker 3: was a hell of a thing to be able to
Speaker 3: spend time with him in an honest, and it put
Speaker 3: it this way, unfiltered, honest discussion about not just what's happened,
Speaker 3: but what he needs to do in the next seventy
Speaker 3: days and what we need to do in California the
Speaker 3: next seventy days to lock things down before Trump gets
Speaker 3: into office. Because this stuff got very very real, very
Speaker 3: very quickly.
Speaker 1: Did you ever really tell Biden, hey, hey, Joe president,
Speaker 1: you unbelievable career, just like when you're done, just go
Speaker 1: you moved to an island somewhere, or go to a
Speaker 1: fishing village in Portugal. Anything's like that. You think he
Speaker 1: shuts it down, he just disappears or what.
Speaker 3: Not a chance? He's hardwired for for public service, been
Speaker 3: at it for half a century and uh and it's
Speaker 3: it's isn't his blood.
Speaker 2: About to say that? Can't just leave? He got hell
Speaker 2: of secrets and ship they need to know where out
Speaker 2: all the time. They had to activate that nigga like
Speaker 2: the KGB is some say that secret rad and he
Speaker 2: started turning to a roboty you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Hardly that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they bring his ass back when he needed.
Speaker 1: Well, Gavin, there was there was a by the way,
Speaker 1: there was a uh there was something in the media
Speaker 1: that someone saw you getting on the plane carrying your
Speaker 1: own back, sitting in the middle seat and economy. Is
Speaker 1: that all true, Gavin on the Last Airlines.
Speaker 3: Uh no, it is not all true. I was in
Speaker 3: a window seat, not a middle seat. Sorry, and I
Speaker 3: wasn't finally I eat my Southwest kids. So it was
Speaker 3: it was. I felt it was like a luxury liner.
Speaker 3: I think it was Alaska or something. I had, like
Speaker 3: a you know, rod twenty nine f or so.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: Anybody yelled you on the plane.
Speaker 3: It was only one person, so it was a great day.
Speaker 2: It was amazing.
Speaker 3: Only one It's fabulous, literally yell. He just rolled his
Speaker 3: eyes and shook his head and and his wife were
Speaker 3: deeply offended.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I wanted to come back and hug him, say I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: you know, but you know I missed him on the
Speaker 3: way out.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, why don't we go to some
Speaker 1: of the questions we've got to asked? I was, you know, Gavin,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that next time you're on a flight, bring
Speaker 1: Moreshawn with you. Trust me, no one's gonna say damn
Speaker 1: word to you. Believe me on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you will you and I were on a flight.
Speaker 3: You know you know you you didn't stay Marshawn.
Speaker 1: I got Marshaan, Mike Tyson like Mike Tyson. I got
Speaker 1: some hands of steel baby or is that Roberto Durant.
Speaker 1: I'll throw it down if I need to. Don't back
Speaker 1: me to corner more, Shawn. You know that I'm a fighter, the.
Speaker 2: Young Baker fighter in the corner. They come off swinging.
Speaker 3: I love this so people. One of the things we're doing,
Speaker 3: which I think is great, and it's great to be
Speaker 3: able to check in on the audience and folks listening.
Speaker 3: We were able to get a bunch of of emails,
Speaker 3: folks that wanted to ask some questions. We solicited that
Speaker 3: last week and Doug, you got it. I think you
Speaker 3: got the handful of them.
Speaker 1: I am gonna be Ernie Johnson. I got Shocked to
Speaker 1: my left, I got Barkley to my right. I will
Speaker 1: be the moderator Govin Okay. I'm not sure who was
Speaker 1: Shock or who was Barkley. But here here's the uh.
Speaker 1: Here's the first question I got from uh uh Tom Okay. Uh.
Speaker 1: I can't vote yet, but as a Democrat, I've noticed
Speaker 1: that my peers male athletes are drifting towards Trump views
Speaker 1: at school boys my age. Here a lot about empowering girls,
Speaker 1: but not much about boys. It seems like Trump is
Speaker 1: filling a vacuum. His emphasis on string winning and dominance
Speaker 1: is appealing to boys my age and young men in college.
Speaker 1: What can we do to reverse this trend? I think
Speaker 1: that's for you, Gavin.
Speaker 3: No, No, Marshawn, I want to know, because No, that's
Speaker 3: anything that comes through with Trump that is meant for you,
Speaker 3: because we kind of hot with you too, because you
Speaker 3: didn't go and run for president. No. No, but it's
Speaker 3: it's by the way, the question is fran beautifully and
Speaker 3: it's deeply accurate. And we talked, I think a little
Speaker 3: bit last week right on the pole. We talked a
Speaker 3: little bit about this sort of man o sphere. We
Speaker 3: talked about all these bro plot podcasts and some I
Speaker 3: think I read some article that suggested, aren't we one
Speaker 3: of those bro podcasts ourselves? But there there is something
Speaker 3: about you know, he talks about power and dominance and aggression.
Speaker 3: Uh And and for a lot of young kids, they're
Speaker 3: they're sort of they're they're feeling on more men, in
Speaker 3: particular young boys a sense lack of a sense of
Speaker 3: meaning and purpose and mission, and so that strength, that
Speaker 3: sort of masculinity that is exuded by a lot of
Speaker 3: these podcasters and in that quote unquote manosphere connects to people.
Speaker 3: And you've seen this crisis of belonging. It's been a
Speaker 3: trend line for the last few decades as it relates
Speaker 3: to what's happening with men all across this country. And
Speaker 3: you've seen that a graduation rates, suicide rates. You're seeing
Speaker 3: it in a deaths of despair, people that are overdosing
Speaker 3: drug use, alcohol use, the disproportion you're impacting men and boys.
Speaker 3: So it is a legitimate crisis in the country. And
Speaker 3: the question is what's the prescription to address it. Is
Speaker 3: it that what some perceive is the toxicity of Trump
Speaker 3: others would disagree, or is it you know, trying to
Speaker 3: sort of align with what Trump may be selling, which
Speaker 3: clearly worked in this election.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you answered that question, Gavin, but
Speaker 1: I appreciate the you.
Speaker 3: Said a whole bunch of words. Well, the fuck it,
Speaker 3: there was not a lot of words.
Speaker 1: All right, So Moreshan, this is for you. This is
Speaker 1: from Justin and Oklahoma. More Shaan I'm a freshman at
Speaker 1: college playing football. I dreams about playing NFL. I admire
Speaker 1: the beast of brand that you have built. What advice
Speaker 1: can you give me on how to build my brand?
Speaker 1: That's a great question.
Speaker 2: Cliche is this sound is is don't build a brand,
Speaker 2: build yourself and let your brand become of what you build.
Speaker 1: Say that again, more, Shaan, that's a great what'd you
Speaker 1: say right there?
Speaker 2: Damn Doug rewinded? Motherfuck I forgot what I said when
Speaker 2: you freestyling and this shit just come off the dome.
Speaker 2: I mean no, but I.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for your State of the City marsh.
Speaker 2: On this man. That motherfucker gonna be a maculate. I
Speaker 2: don't want no, no, no, what is that flash cards
Speaker 2: or none of that? Ship? But is don't don't build
Speaker 2: a brand just you know, I mean, be yourself and
Speaker 2: let your brand build. Build yourself so that way is
Speaker 2: always authentic, you know, I mean to who you are,
Speaker 2: and that way you ain't never gonna look over your
Speaker 2: shoulder to make sure that you got to check all
Speaker 2: these boxes and all that other shit. I love it,
Speaker 2: but man, I really do appreciate when when the youth
Speaker 2: asked me that question, because I think, you know, rather
Speaker 2: than just hearing me say it, when they put it
Speaker 2: into a form like that, I think it means more
Speaker 2: to them, and I think we get I think they
Speaker 2: take a lot more out of it.
Speaker 3: Okay, by the way, Doug, that was next level and
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. And it's you know something, And
Speaker 3: here's the politician talk. And I talk about all the time,
Speaker 3: your expressions unique. No one else has it. Learn from
Speaker 3: don't follow others this idea. Everyone wants to be like
Speaker 3: someone else, but then they're derivative someone else, meaning they're
Speaker 3: not being their authentic self. And so if you're trying
Speaker 3: to be someone else, you'll get exposed. And so building
Speaker 3: a great brand. The reason Beast Mode, reason Marshawn Lynch
Speaker 3: is Marshawn Lynch is because it just exudes authenticity. And
Speaker 3: I think that's just such a great, great, great thing
Speaker 3: that Marshall every young person's listening to.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot because it was like I
Speaker 2: went up one and then you went up there, you
Speaker 2: go all right?
Speaker 1: All r his other one this is from Christina.
Speaker 2: Try to one help me Batman nine went up and
Speaker 2: you bro.
Speaker 3: I'm doubling down for you.
Speaker 1: My friend, there's another one, another one Govin. I voted
Speaker 1: for COALMLOP because she's pro choice, believes in climate change
Speaker 1: is a real thing, and I'm not a big fan
Speaker 1: of Trump. Other than that, I actually think Trump is
Speaker 1: more aligned with our everyday concerns about the economy, public safety,
Speaker 1: and border security. Given this, if the Republicans filled a
Speaker 1: nicer guy than Trump, how can we avoid a bigger
Speaker 1: landslide in twenty eight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, oh in twenty eight looking forward, No, I
Speaker 3: think we got to work to cut out, work cut
Speaker 3: out for us because you I saw just by the way,
Speaker 3: there was a bunch of polls just out today that
Speaker 3: says they, you know, Republicans overwhelming. They think crimes increasing,
Speaker 3: they think unemployment is a fifty year high. They think
Speaker 3: inflation is still raging, when we know so inflation substantially tame,
Speaker 3: We're at a fifty year low in unemployment, and crime
Speaker 3: continues to drop and drop significantly in the last few years.
Speaker 3: So it's people feel very very differently on the border
Speaker 3: as well, we're not seeing border crossings are about as
Speaker 3: low as they've been in the last three and a
Speaker 3: half almost four years. That does not to excuse the
Speaker 3: inflation scars in the last three four years, or to
Speaker 3: exclude what happened as it relates to the border crossings
Speaker 3: the last three and four years.
Speaker 2: So when you get in office in twenty eight what
Speaker 2: you're going to do.
Speaker 3: No, but I will say the economic thing is the
Speaker 3: most frustrating. And if you want a little bit of
Speaker 3: more of what I was talking to the President about
Speaker 3: forty eight hours ago was around the economy and that
Speaker 3: disconnect between how people feel and the performance of this administration.
Speaker 3: Or have the lowest black unemployment, alst unemployment for women,
Speaker 3: lowest unemployment for people with disabilities, lowest unemployment in fifty years.
Speaker 3: We have the lowest uninsured rate in our lifetime. We
Speaker 3: have one of the fastest business startups business boom that
Speaker 3: we've ever had in our lifetime. You've got an economic
Speaker 3: strategy that's worker centered as it relates to bringing supply
Speaker 3: chains home, manufacturing and industrial policy, the Chips and Science Act,
Speaker 3: as well as the IRA as it relates to transition
Speaker 3: policy and making sure that we're more energy independent. All
Speaker 3: of those things are things that we thought would be
Speaker 3: persuasive in this election on the economy, and obviously we
Speaker 3: fell short. So I don't know if you've caught any
Speaker 3: of that nonsense except to say we got work to do.
Speaker 1: Another question from Seawn and Colorado said, and that's a
Speaker 1: great follow up. Why is the market so convinced that
Speaker 1: the economy is going to do well under Trump? Why
Speaker 1: is the market doing better now since he got elected?
Speaker 3: Well, hold on, I mean the market. We had record
Speaker 3: breaking stock market over and over and over and over
Speaker 3: again under and over again and over. I bring it.
Speaker 3: That's where I'm my brother, over over and over. So
Speaker 3: so the markets, the markets for the last year, you're
Speaker 3: four oh one K for the last year, record breaking, uh,
Speaker 3: over and over. And of course it went up again
Speaker 3: a little bit after it was actually served a couple
Speaker 3: of days after the day after the election, but but
Speaker 3: it already was peaking for the last later a letter
Speaker 3: part of the last year. So I think there's two things.
Speaker 3: But I will say just the substance of the series
Speaker 3: of the question. I think some of it was expectations
Speaker 3: on regulatory policy, regulatory rollbacks, and then tax policy as
Speaker 3: it relates to extending the tax credits, uh, but beyond
Speaker 3: me with the tariffs that are coming, and beyond me
Speaker 3: as it relates to any other economic framework that the
Speaker 3: president has advanced, because I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: It's got the form and substance of fog forgive me,
Speaker 3: and now standing like a damn politics.
Speaker 1: All right, well I got another more few gallon more, Shawn,
Speaker 1: I am a politician. This is from Deborah. Many women
Speaker 1: are terrified now more than ever about the reproductive freedom
Speaker 1: running a state that is so pro women and protects
Speaker 1: women's rights to choose, et cetera. How do you tackle
Speaker 1: these issues with the president? Is there any chance we
Speaker 1: lose our access to reproductive freedoms?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a chance. There was no chance in my lifetime.
Speaker 3: In our lifetime, we'd see Roe versus Wait overturn, and
Speaker 3: Donald Trump made sure that happened with the Dobbs decision.
Speaker 3: He's the father of the Dobbs decision.
Speaker 1: How is there how is their chance explain that to us?
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is the reason that Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Speaker 3: It's the reason that one at every five women that
Speaker 3: had to get an abortion last year had to get
Speaker 3: out of their own state. He's the reason tens of
Speaker 3: thousands of women who were raped were pregnant, many of
Speaker 3: them that had to bring their baby to term. He's
Speaker 3: the reason a thirteen year old was clutching her teddy
Speaker 3: bear as she was giving birth in Louisiana to a
Speaker 3: rapist baby. That's Donald Trump. So the question is very serious.
Speaker 2: So they just so hold on. So how does that work?
Speaker 2: They just say like like, I want to get abortion,
Speaker 2: and they just say, no, you can't have an abortion.
Speaker 3: You cannot have it, regardless of rape and incestimental.
Speaker 2: Why they telling them that they can't have an abortion.
Speaker 3: Like power control over women, control over women's body.
Speaker 2: That's fun. I mean because if you just going to
Speaker 2: and I mean clearly I on, but if they going
Speaker 2: to the clinic or to the doctor and they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm having a situation. I don't want to have this
Speaker 2: baby and a doctor just be like no.
Speaker 3: Says the doctor. Does it puts his not just his
Speaker 3: license bright in the line, but could be prosecuted, can
Speaker 3: be arrested. Uh, so you have doctors that can be
Speaker 3: arrested women. There's certain states, Marshall and get this where
Speaker 3: it's illegal for the woman to leave the state to
Speaker 3: access an abortion if she's under age. So they're banning travel,
Speaker 3: they're not just banning abortions. In some states. That is
Speaker 3: brought to you by Donald Trump. Now that said, let
Speaker 3: me be fair, good people can disagree. And I understand
Speaker 3: the religious framework, and I understand people that believe in
Speaker 3: the right to life, and I respect that. But under
Speaker 3: Roe V. Wade, that was the whole point. I respect
Speaker 3: your right to decide for yourself, and as sure as hell,
Speaker 3: shouldn't be a bunch of guys that are determining the
Speaker 3: fate of young women. And so I take this seriously,
Speaker 3: and I think the question is a scary one because
Speaker 3: realistically we don't know. Donald Trump in the past said
Speaker 3: women should be criminalized for having an abortion. Donald Trump
Speaker 3: in the past suggested that he would support a national
Speaker 3: abortion ban. Many of his biggest supporters, like Lindsey Graham's Synergram,
Speaker 3: support abortion ban. Few of us have confidence that if
Speaker 3: they pass the national abortion ban, he won't sign it.
Speaker 3: He says he won't, but he said a lot of
Speaker 3: things in the past. I don't trust him at all.
Speaker 1: But Gavin can he does he have the power to
Speaker 1: go to each state and tell each state they can't
Speaker 1: do an abortion No.
Speaker 3: Well, he well, he could. They could do a national
Speaker 3: abortion ban. They control both houses of Congress. He said
Speaker 3: in the past he would support one. He said in
Speaker 3: the past he thinks women should be criminalized that have
Speaker 3: an abortion. He said all kinds of crazy things in
Speaker 3: the past. By the way, I take him much more
Speaker 3: literally than most. That's why we're being prepared. And it
Speaker 3: goes back to the question. And let me be serious
Speaker 3: about the question. And forgive me for getting all intents
Speaker 3: about this. It's just this is such serious stuff. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is happening in the United States America in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four. But I worry about this thing called the
Speaker 3: Comstat Act, which is about access to medical abortion, meaning
Speaker 3: access to pills morning after pills. I worry about being
Speaker 3: prepared for that, and so states like California are taking
Speaker 3: that very seriously. I've got some ideas around more work
Speaker 3: we could do with an executive order. We already went
Speaker 3: to the ballot a couple of years ago and we
Speaker 3: enshrined in our state constitution the ripe reproductive care, reproductive freedom.
Speaker 3: And we're doing everything in our power to protect doctors,
Speaker 3: to protect patients themselves privacy, and making sure we're not
Speaker 3: sharing with outside state attorney generals for criminal prosecution. So
Speaker 3: we're going to do everything in our power to protect
Speaker 3: women and girls. And there's not a state in America,
Speaker 3: not one. There's a lot of great leaders of great
Speaker 3: states protecting women and girls, but there's not a state
Speaker 3: like California doing more at the backs of women.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question as your positions
Speaker 2: as government, right, how often is it that you would like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you know you probably here to shit through social media,
Speaker 2: the studies and yeah, I mean the reports and all
Speaker 2: of that. How often is it that you'll just be like,
Speaker 2: you know, what, fuck it, let me go to a
Speaker 2: clinic where you know these women have actually been turned
Speaker 2: away and actually talk to the people who really go
Speaker 2: through this type of shit and really just sit down
Speaker 2: with them and like, I don't know, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: make my case because I want to be heard when
Speaker 2: I go talk, but actually to understand, you know, what
Speaker 2: the fuck is going on, like how that really affects
Speaker 2: them and what's really going on, because I mean that
Speaker 2: sounds like some serious ass shit to the point where
Speaker 2: like if I just look at some studies or some
Speaker 2: numbers or something and it's like okay, this number, this number,
Speaker 2: and then the doctors as well, because I mean, I
Speaker 2: know that shit take a toll on them too. They yep,
Speaker 2: they see this shit coming in. But then you have
Speaker 2: you know, you talk about these individuals who uh, these
Speaker 2: women that have been raped and you know it had
Speaker 2: gotten pregnant and like the like the mental mindset that
Speaker 2: they have. Like how often is it that you will
Speaker 2: go out and actually talk to these individuals to see,
Speaker 2: like a fuck the numbers and all of that shit.
Speaker 2: Let me hear right from the horse's mouth on what's
Speaker 2: really going on and how it's really affecting you.
Speaker 3: As a great question, Sean Marjah on that, it's the
Speaker 3: right question. That's what we do all the time. That's
Speaker 3: how we shape policy on reproductive care in California. It's
Speaker 3: exactly what we do. We meet with folks that have
Speaker 3: been impacted rape and incest. We meet folks that had
Speaker 3: miscarriages that needed emergency care. We meet with people that
Speaker 3: literally almost lost their life because they were bleeding out
Speaker 3: and doctors didn't know what to do. In some of
Speaker 3: these other states, we don't just read the stories. They
Speaker 3: come in and they sort of testify to that human expression.
Speaker 3: But with all due respect to the other side, and
Speaker 3: I say this, we'd love to those that disagree. I
Speaker 3: don't hear them sitting down with some of these women.
Speaker 3: I don't hear people. I've never heard of Donald Trump
Speaker 3: sitting down with a woman who was raped and and
Speaker 3: try to listen and express some empathy in compassion for
Speaker 3: her life. Not once has he ever done that. So
Speaker 3: it's why I get a little indignant, sort of spare
Speaker 3: me that this guy has your back, women and girls
Speaker 3: that he gives it to. I mean, seriously, spare me.
Speaker 3: It's all about him. And again I don't want to
Speaker 3: be you know, I know we always were failing and
Speaker 3: not talking about Trump, but uh, this is why we're
Speaker 3: doing the special session of California.
Speaker 1: That was a great question.
Speaker 3: Is why I've taken so seriously what's going on. This
Speaker 3: is why I'm grateful for that question and sorry to
Speaker 3: be so intense about this, but got to have women's back. Man,
Speaker 3: this is serious moment.
Speaker 2: You know, my mama is like, you know, that's my
Speaker 2: that's my heart, that's my rock, and you feel me
Speaker 2: if if somebody was to put my mama in a
Speaker 2: position to where yeah, I mean they took away her
Speaker 2: rights in order to live you know, I mean a
Speaker 2: good life like we got problems. I ain't worried about
Speaker 2: no laws and all that other type of shit, like
Speaker 2: you got me fucked up, we got we gonna have
Speaker 2: to do something with the old school dude. And then
Speaker 2: you know, like you know my model, fuck you, We're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna get on some shit. But damn nex yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Here's another one for both you guys. I admire you
Speaker 1: and Morashaan for all was speaking and doing what you
Speaker 1: think is right, Davin. When when you legalize gay marriage,
Speaker 1: everyone was telling you not to do it, you went
Speaker 1: with your heart and did it. How stressful was that
Speaker 1: back in the day to do that as mayor.
Speaker 3: A sports frame the beginner's mind, I didn't know what
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I think it was Roger Brandister that
Speaker 3: broke the four minute mile because they didn't know what
Speaker 3: he didn't know. He didn't know that the human body
Speaker 3: didn't move that fast in four minutes. The point was
Speaker 3: I was new as a mayor, uh, and I thought
Speaker 3: it was the right thing to do. Uh. And then
Speaker 3: what unfolded after that revealed itself in ways that I
Speaker 3: had anticipated and not anticipated on the basis that I
Speaker 3: didn't have the experience. So I think there's something wonderful
Speaker 3: about being new, having a new mindset. But I will
Speaker 3: say that it was challenged to navigate because my own
Speaker 3: party came down on me. My own party attacked me,
Speaker 3: my own party question what I was doing. And for
Speaker 3: those of you don't remember this the black and white movies.
Speaker 3: In two thousand and four, in the Winter of Love,
Speaker 3: not the Summer of Love, in San Francisco, we married
Speaker 3: four thousand and thirty six couples from forty six states,
Speaker 3: in six countries around the world. And the amazing thing
Speaker 3: about it was, it was nothing amazing about it. Meaning
Speaker 3: couples came. They were your brother, your uncle, your aunt's,
Speaker 3: your uncle. I mean, you name it. The normality of
Speaker 3: it is what was so striking. It was airline pilots,
Speaker 3: it was construction workers, it was nurses, it was doctors,
Speaker 3: it was judges, it was lawyers. And they came there
Speaker 3: and all they wanted was to say those two fucking
Speaker 3: magic words I do. And for that they were castigated
Speaker 3: and they were looked down upon. And so we thought
Speaker 3: it was the right thing to do in two thousand
Speaker 3: and four, and we started a conversation. Uh and and
Speaker 3: there was a lot of conversation in my direction attacking
Speaker 3: that action. I still deal with that today. But again,
Speaker 3: you know, back to you, Doug saying, how many damn
Speaker 3: summers we have left in our lives. Don't dream of regretting.
Speaker 3: Put it out there on the line. Do what you
Speaker 3: think is right, do what you believe in, brand be smoked,
Speaker 3: be your damn self.
Speaker 1: Well, Gavin, follow up to that question, did you think
Speaker 1: that the time? I mean, I mean you obviously probably
Speaker 1: at higher aspirations, but that back then when you did that,
Speaker 1: did you think like I could be this could be done,
Speaker 1: I could be done politically, but doing the right thing
Speaker 1: is what I'm here for, so I don't really care
Speaker 1: what my future is. This is the right thing to
Speaker 1: do because a lot of people would have done that.
Speaker 3: I had an intervention. My father, members of my family,
Speaker 3: some of his close friends had an intervention right before
Speaker 3: I did it, saying don't do it. They said, this
Speaker 3: is going to end your political creer. You just got elected.
Speaker 3: Because I just got elected. They say, do this on
Speaker 3: your way out, don't start your political career. I remember
Speaker 3: it in California. I don't know what the number was,
Speaker 3: but I think it was like thirty percent of folks support.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was not quote unquote pop there. I
Speaker 3: just thought it was the right thing to do, and
Speaker 3: I thought it was also unconstitutional not to allow same
Speaker 3: safe couples to get married. And so no I thought
Speaker 3: I was toast, but I swear to you, I thought
Speaker 3: I was toast politically, but I was like, you know what,
Speaker 3: So what, I go back to work, privates whatever. Life's
Speaker 3: too short and I hate I hate nothing worse. I
Speaker 3: said to myself. I remember I've keep and I tell
Speaker 3: myself all the time, I don't want to be one
Speaker 3: of those politicians that could have, would have, should have
Speaker 3: that's on some panel after they're retired, wishing they had
Speaker 3: done something, particularly as it relates to trying to bring
Speaker 3: people together, which was the idea there, to strengthen families,
Speaker 3: to give people the ability to live their lives. As
Speaker 3: we said out lad so as proud of it.
Speaker 1: Well, Gavin, I know your dad very well. At rest
Speaker 1: in peace, Bill love you. Was it hard when he
Speaker 1: met with you and you as a son said dad.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the advice, but you know what, I thank you,
Speaker 1: but I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, old iris Catholic family he used to when he
Speaker 3: was a kid. He went to church every single morning,
Speaker 3: and not once a week or not at Christmas, every
Speaker 3: single day. So he grew up in that frame and
Speaker 3: traditional marriage, marriage to a man or woman, and so
Speaker 3: he appreciated that. I thought it was the right thing
Speaker 3: to do. But he's worried about his son, and he's like,
Speaker 3: you know, your relatively young politician, as in my thirties,
Speaker 3: and he's like, why the hell would you throw it
Speaker 3: all out for this? You got all these other things
Speaker 3: you wanted to do. Why would you start like this?
Speaker 3: And so he was legitimately concerned. But I swear to God,
Speaker 3: one of the great memories of my life was quietly
Speaker 3: walking in the back of City Hall when there were
Speaker 3: couples all around city Hall getting married, and I snuck
Speaker 3: it with a baseball hat my dad, so no one
Speaker 3: even knew I was downstairs.
Speaker 2: They didn't six five white boy, and they know who
Speaker 2: to him, you was out there.
Speaker 3: In the back Marsia on True story. And he starts
Speaker 3: walking around and he sees basically neighbors, he sees people
Speaker 3: you reckon. It was none of the cliches you would think.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like some you know parade or something. You know,
Speaker 3: the way people talk about the cat, the Falsehome Street parade.
Speaker 3: You know, you get the images and literally those images
Speaker 3: and the joy and to see families like literally kids
Speaker 3: of the people getting married or their parents and seeing
Speaker 3: these kids and and to see the joy. He completely flipped.
Speaker 3: And then he became an advocate because he's he was
Speaker 3: a judge for giving me more legal advice, saying we
Speaker 3: gotta we got to continue to fight this and help
Speaker 3: us shape our legal strategy. It was amazing to see
Speaker 3: him evolve on that.
Speaker 1: So, Marshawn, here's one for you. Is from Tim and Tacoma. Marshawn,
Speaker 1: I'm your biggest fan. I've loved you since you got
Speaker 1: to Seattle. Do you have any regrets about walking away
Speaker 1: from Seattle and going to Oakland?
Speaker 2: None? None, none at all. Because I didn't walk away
Speaker 2: from uh Seattle to go to Oakland. I walked away
Speaker 2: because I was I was done playing football. And then
Speaker 2: when like you were just saying, don't want to be
Speaker 2: one of them, should have could have with us. And
Speaker 2: when I heard that the Raiders was gonna actually leave Oakland,
Speaker 2: that was what made me, uh go back to play
Speaker 2: for the for the Raiders, so I could say I
Speaker 2: was one of the last individuals from I could actually
Speaker 2: say that they play for the Open Writers.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it. Hey, Marshaw, By the way, I never
Speaker 3: asked you this. When you retired quote unquote from football
Speaker 3: as a Seahawk, didn't you post something about your cleats?
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me back up, Gavin, let me
Speaker 1: before Marshawn asked the question in Gavin, Actually, I was
Speaker 1: with you at the Super Bowl, remember, and at the
Speaker 1: night at the Niner at Santa Clara. We were at
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl I think it was Denver and Carolina,
Speaker 1: and you and I were at the game and my
Speaker 1: phone started buzzing and blowing up and you see more
Speaker 1: shand so more. Shawn infamously threw his cleats on top
Speaker 1: of the wires in Oakland and my phone blew up.
Speaker 1: He retired on Super Bowl Sunday. Take me through that
Speaker 1: more Shawn, by the way, you ruined my day. But
Speaker 1: I hope your day was good.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, I was back, you know,
Speaker 2: at my grandma house, and you know I had them,
Speaker 2: I had the cliaks and they was actually uh some
Speaker 2: cliqus that I had that I was gonna play in
Speaker 2: h last super Bowl and they had gold on them,
Speaker 2: and they got the uniform. Police came out and was like, hey,
Speaker 2: if you wear them cleats, we're gonna kick you out
Speaker 2: the game. And I'm like, well, what you mean you
Speaker 2: gonna kick me out? Like, if you wear them claks,
Speaker 2: we're gonna kick you out the game. So I had
Speaker 2: to go and put some some different spikes on. So
Speaker 2: when they did the Super Bowl fifty, and they like
Speaker 2: made it like I guess it was like the fiftieth
Speaker 2: Anniversary or the fiftieth Super Bowl or something like that,
Speaker 2: and it was all gold, so everybody had gold everything.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, man, what the fuck, Like you just
Speaker 2: told me that I wasn't gonna be able to play
Speaker 2: in the game. You was gonna bench me if I
Speaker 2: wore some spikes that had gold claks at the bottom,
Speaker 2: and then you're gonna make the whole Super Bowl fifty
Speaker 2: gold everything. So I was looking at them damn shoes
Speaker 2: like man, fuck. I said, yeah, well I knew I
Speaker 2: was done, but I was like, well, shit, what you
Speaker 2: do in the hood when you you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: you done random shoes all the way down to the
Speaker 2: to the rubber to no more rubber with the holes
Speaker 2: at the bottom. You take them your time and you
Speaker 2: throw them on the uh on the telephone wire. And
Speaker 2: it took me about, like say about like maybe fifteen
Speaker 2: tries to get them up there. But when they landed,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I took the picture and
Speaker 2: I threw the doses.
Speaker 1: I don't know how viral that went, but I don't
Speaker 1: know how many views or whatever, but that was obviously
Speaker 1: off the charts, which Guyvin leads me to the next
Speaker 1: question here.
Speaker 3: No, it leads me to this question as here's as
Speaker 3: simple as a questionnaire. This is who you got to
Speaker 3: prepare for as mayor of Oakland. Would you find someone
Speaker 3: for throwing cleats up on a wire, a public wire,
Speaker 3: would you, sir? Yes or no? Simple question?
Speaker 2: Simple question. No.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it. It's a right answer under the circumstance.
Speaker 2: If I mean, if it's if it's for retirement after
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, after they tell you, you, Marsh you
Speaker 2: can't wear gold cleats, and then next year you go
Speaker 2: make the whole fucking thing about gold everything. I said, man,
Speaker 2: fuck and I and I was, I was, I was like,
Speaker 2: damn maybe I should go to the game and just
Speaker 2: try to steal everything fucking gold that they got. They
Speaker 2: had gold gloves, gold cleeks, gold fucking towels, wristbands, all
Speaker 2: kind of shit, and I'm like, the.
Speaker 1: Fuck all right? Bo Sovin, So this is funny this question.
Speaker 1: Before I get this question, if my daughter called me
Speaker 1: the other day, I'll give a shout out to Jaden
Speaker 1: and at cal Poly Volleyball. How you doing, Jaden? In
Speaker 1: any event, she talks about all your TikTok stuff. So
Speaker 1: the question was We've had a million questions about Gavin's
Speaker 1: status online, including his nickname as American Psycho's Patrick Bateman
Speaker 1: and being called Zaddy. You're in the New York Times
Speaker 1: Style section. They're calling you the vampire to save the party. So, Gavin,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about your Zaddy status? Have you
Speaker 1: seen all the memes online and TikTok posts about you?
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: What does it mean? Doug? What does that mean? Marshawn?
Speaker 1: You're in the now, I don't know, but you know
Speaker 1: you're famous on TikTok. So how do you feel about that? Gavin?
Speaker 3: Only reason I know I'm famous on TikTok I was
Speaker 3: shopping for my daughter at the gap and a bunch
Speaker 3: of yeah teenagers come up and said are you? And
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell is this? And then they
Speaker 3: literally start flipping through their TikTok and I start seeing
Speaker 3: some of that stuff. But I don't know how it's
Speaker 3: a compliment that I'm some vampire or some you know,
Speaker 3: American psycho. That doesn't work for me. I don't understand it.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about Americans like oh in vampire.
Speaker 2: But Zaddy, what he laughing? What does it mean? It
Speaker 2: just means. It just means, Daddy, they looking for you.
Speaker 2: They won't you cuss. They on your bumper right.
Speaker 1: Now, Gavin, You're all over TikTok, bro. And they talked
Speaker 1: about your nice white shirts. That's on the style sex.
Speaker 1: They talked about your Chris blue suits, uh and whatnot.
Speaker 3: So I dress for you guys today.
Speaker 2: It's the same damn suit, by.
Speaker 1: The way, I gotta be honest you. They talked about
Speaker 1: our podcast guys, right, No one said the good looking
Speaker 1: Doug Hendrickson, the attractive Doug Hendrickson. They talked about Gavin
Speaker 1: sex symbol, good looking and all that. No one mentioned me.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, Gavin.
Speaker 3: Bro can could we call him a zaddy as well?
Speaker 3: Or is that inappropriate marshawn, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thank you very inappropriate.
Speaker 3: I guess someone else has to do that. Sorry, Sorry, Doug.
Speaker 1: Here's another one, Gavin. There's been a of stuff talking
Speaker 1: about the Menendez brothers. We saw the new DA come
Speaker 1: into office. Any updates on what's going to happen with
Speaker 1: the infamous brothers that are in jail?
Speaker 3: So interesting, nobs. One of the reasons I sadly am
Speaker 3: in my suit is today is parole day, so I
Speaker 3: go through my paroles. I've got some commutations. We did
Speaker 3: some pardons last week for Veterans Day.
Speaker 2: I need a couple of parts too.
Speaker 1: Send him a text more sean, send him a tax
Speaker 1: you got a free to home team.
Speaker 3: And so this is you know, it's Thanksgiving. We tend
Speaker 3: to do around this time of year. So it is
Speaker 3: the Menendez file, which is now a little thicker because
Speaker 3: we did deeper research in the last ten days. That's
Speaker 3: all on my desk and I'll be literally getting a
Speaker 3: lot of it today. But let me just say a
Speaker 3: couple of things you do have a new DA. The
Speaker 3: the current DA who was about to be replaced was
Speaker 3: was was not re elected. Who is the one who
Speaker 3: recommended the recentency of the mend Is brothers. And I
Speaker 3: think it's the right thing to do to hear from
Speaker 3: the new DA before I make any decisions, and so
Speaker 3: I'll be deferring to his review, his analysis and recommendation.
Speaker 3: And that's something, by the way, I haven't said publicly,
Speaker 3: but I think is important under the circumstance, out of
Speaker 3: respect not just to him, the new incoming DA, but
Speaker 3: those that elected him rather overwhelmingly in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1: a quick question on our politic and merch, by the way,
