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