Epste and Trump were close. Sorry,
00:00:01
Donald. Just a fact. And when Elon Musk
00:00:04
tweets Trump's on the list and a few
00:00:06
days later there is no list. It begs
00:00:08
questions. So they dangled this in order
00:00:10
to get votes and they lie to people. And
00:00:12
we're only 6 months in and the
00:00:14
vandalization that he's done pushing the
00:00:16
boundaries on the rule of law. This is
00:00:17
darkness
00:00:18
really because I hear this every
00:00:19
election cycle.
00:00:20
No, it's a dangerous game and America is
00:00:23
struggling and I really worry about our
00:00:25
democracy. But Trump is likely to lose
00:00:27
power unless they can rig the game.
00:00:30
Governor Gavin Newsome. Are you going to
00:00:32
try and become the next president of the
00:00:34
United States?
00:00:36
Governor of California.
00:00:38
Gavin Newsome.
00:00:39
Gavin Newsome.
00:00:40
Who is the real Gavin Newsome?
00:00:42
I think most people see me as sort of,
00:00:44
you know, slick guy. Grew up with a
00:00:46
trust fund, but I didn't come from any
00:00:48
wealth. Like my mom was a single mom.
00:00:50
She was working two, three jobs. She ran
00:00:52
out of her own bedroom. Sacrificed
00:00:53
everything for two kids. And I was going
00:00:55
nowhere academically, but she never gave
00:00:57
up on me.
00:00:58
And as your sort of political career
00:00:59
starts to accelerate, she was diagnosed
00:01:01
with breast cancer.
00:01:02
Yeah. And she was in so much pain,
00:01:04
suffering. She's going to do an assisted
00:01:05
suicide.
00:01:07
And uh I was holding her hand. She's and
00:01:11
her last breath.
00:01:13
But look, everything that finds the best
00:01:15
of me, grit, hard work is reflected in
00:01:17
her. And that led to me sitting here
00:01:18
with you as governor of California in
00:01:20
politics.
00:01:21
He's an incompetent governor. Look at
00:01:23
the job he's doing. He's a stone cold
00:01:25
liar.
00:01:25
There's always conflict between you and
00:01:27
Trump.
00:01:27
I think he enjoys sparring with me. I
00:01:29
know he thrives on it, but I'd be lying
00:01:31
if I didn't say it. Every time I have a
00:01:32
conversation, it's unbelievably cordial.
00:01:34
He says, "You need anything, call me."
00:01:36
Including the night before he quote
00:01:38
unquote federalized the National Guard,
00:01:40
but then calls me new.
00:01:41
He wants to take me out.
00:01:43
Do you think he's going to try and stay
00:01:44
in power? So, I don't think I'm
00:01:47
exaggerating, but when people close to
00:01:49
Donald Trump send the governor of
00:01:50
California, hey,
00:01:53
they're not
