Episode 233 - Mr. Newsom Goes to China

[00:00:00] If you're a California conservative, a libertarian, a moderate Democrat, believe in common

[00:00:11] sense, or just the same person.

[00:00:13] This is the political podcast for you.

[00:00:15] It's the California Underground Podcast.

[00:00:18] What's going on everybody?

[00:00:28] Thanks for tuning into another episode of the California Underground Podcast, Amor Host

[00:00:32] Phil.

[00:00:33] As always with me and I trust he co-hosts the best and fastest researcher in the West

[00:00:36] Camille.

[00:00:37] How are you doing tonight Camille?

[00:00:40] I would normally say fine but we have to talk about Newsom again.

[00:00:46] So I don't know.

[00:00:48] Yeah, this is your favorite when we get to talk about Newsom.

[00:00:51] Absolutely favorite.

[00:00:53] Even better you get to watch a whole interview.

[00:00:57] Yeah, which I already watched but I'm good.

[00:01:03] I'm much better than I was last week.

[00:01:05] I'm still kind of recovering.

[00:01:07] I got a little bit of a cough so I apologize if I don't hit the mute button fast enough

[00:01:11] to mute myself during coughing.

[00:01:14] A lot better than last week.

[00:01:16] Thanks to John Dillon who was on for just absolutely carrying the episode last week because

[00:01:23] I was just I was barely making it through and I was like dear God, just let me get through

[00:01:29] this hour.

[00:01:30] I was watching the hour tick by minute by minute.

[00:01:33] But we made it.

[00:01:37] Here we are.

[00:01:38] It was one of those episodes did it for the fans because I was away for a couple

[00:01:44] weeks.

[00:01:46] I was away in Europe so if that's where people are wondering where I was.

[00:01:51] I don't humble brag.

[00:01:52] A humble brag.

[00:01:53] I don't like to tell people where I am before I'd rather tell people afterwards but the

[00:02:00] one thing is just kind of getting off topic.

[00:02:05] The one thing I noticed in Europe now I was in Spain.

[00:02:08] The one thing we noticed, no masks.

[00:02:14] No masks anywhere.

[00:02:15] Like people were just not wearing masks in Europe which is surprising because you think the

[00:02:20] whole Europe like they locked down.

[00:02:21] They did everything like you would think like they were a mask crazy over there.

[00:02:25] I see more masks here in Southern California than I do than we did over in Spain.

[00:02:32] So that's just interesting to me that there wasn't that many masks.

[00:02:36] Also I don't want to take a victory lap yet.

[00:02:39] We did have a full episode on whether Alex Jones was going to be right or not.

[00:02:45] Flu all the way to Europe, no mask requirement, no vaccine passport, nobody checked our papers

[00:02:51] or anything like that.

[00:02:52] TSA had nothing to do with any of that.

[00:02:56] So so far I haven't seen the whole TSA mandates and stuff like that come back.

[00:03:04] So there was no requirement for you.

[00:03:07] You didn't have to have a negative COVID test to fly back.

[00:03:12] No, nothing that nobody asked me about COVID our entire trip so yeah I like I said I don't

[00:03:21] want to take a victory lap yet but this might be one of those cases where people you know

[00:03:26] rage farmed and got all their clicks and likes and stuff on social media by sharing Alex

[00:03:31] Jones.

[00:03:32] And you know three or four months on people will forget all about it and be like what no

[00:03:39] we never we never said that was going to happen in three to four months.

[00:03:43] I have screenshots people know just kidding.

[00:03:46] Yeah, if there's anyone who keeps receipts it's Camille so for all those people who are

[00:03:50] like we never said Alex Jones said that we're going to go back to lockdowns in three to

[00:03:55] four months.

[00:03:56] Well we got receipts.

[00:03:59] All right, but that's not the point of tonight's episode is to talk about Europe and lockdowns

[00:04:03] and COVID stuff.

[00:04:05] Instead we're going to talk about the country that started COVID and Mr. Newsom going

[00:04:11] to we're still on YouTube yeah we're still live on YouTube and he decided he was going

[00:04:23] to go over to China just out of the blue.

[00:04:25] I don't yeah, it just felt kind of out of the blue like all of a sudden he was over in

[00:04:29] China like there was no announcement that he was going over to China that this was something

[00:04:35] in the works like I think he announced when he was going over to Israel because you know

[00:04:40] people are dying and and this horrible warfare going on so the first thing Gavin Newsom

[00:04:44] thinks is this is a great opportunity for me to go over and get some photo ops and look

[00:04:50] like a president and now he's going over to China.

[00:04:54] Yeah, there's anything that Israel needs right now it's Gavin Newsom.

[00:04:58] Right yeah and his leadership and his hair gel so yeah never to miss an opportunity for

[00:05:08] presidential photo ops I mean I can see all of this is going to be in like a presidential

[00:05:15] ad in the future whether it's next year in 2028 I can imagine a lot of this is going

[00:05:20] to be like stock footage for him like Gavin Newsom leading the way you know leading the

[00:05:27] way together whatever is campaign slogan is going to be him sitting with Gigi paying and

[00:05:33] going to Israel and doing all these trips and then falling on that kid playing basketball

[00:05:38] hopefully that's in this campaign ad as well.

[00:05:41] But this is all I mean this is all part of his soft campaign to run for president like

[00:05:46] this has nothing to do with California he's trying to pretend it has a lot to do with

[00:05:49] California but it's it's absolutely 100% a soft campaign to run for president what do

[00:05:55] you think?

[00:05:56] Well yes I agree.

[00:05:59] I mean I think we're pretty much all on a grigands with this even even the Democrats are

[00:06:03] like yeah he's going to run for president even if it's not now it's next time and so

[00:06:09] yes are you frozen?

[00:06:12] No I'm still there.

[00:06:16] Okay so I have like an initial thought you didn't ask me my initial thoughts but I'm going

[00:06:22] to share one and I only just thought of this this morning so I'm a lot to change my mind

[00:06:26] on this but I until today okay so I'm not a climate change denier climate change happens

[00:06:36] but I don't believe climate change in the sense of like what people like you know it was

[00:06:41] global warming and then it's global cool like the climate is changing certainly like I

[00:06:45] don't think that most people are going to dispute that at least like most people the

[00:06:48] brain but of course I think you and I both believe that like what people and cows are not

[00:06:52] causing this this climate change that's you know so called and so I until today believed

[00:07:01] that there were these politicians that truly did believe that the climate is changing

[00:07:06] and that it's people's fault and also it struck me they're just the these politicians cannot

[00:07:14] fix the issues don't want to fix the issues I don't know what it is that are actually

[00:07:18] back at home that they need to be working on and fixing and what they were elected to do

[00:07:23] and so climate change is just one big distraction and I'm sorry because I don't like to be

[00:07:27] that person that says I was just a distraction what are they distracting us from but as

[00:07:31] of this morning I'm like no climate change is literally it's it it is their thing it is like

[00:07:36] they want to go beyond in history as being like they fought for climate change mean while

[00:07:41] I won't even start on all the issues that are going on here I mean we've lived with

[00:07:45] them a million times and I'm sure we'll get to them throughout the episodes I won't go there

[00:07:48] but it's like Gavin took off the China to like for because this state is like an absolute

[00:07:56] oblique myself whole but like

[00:08:00] there's so and Gavin is doing nothing to fix up and so why not be like I am in a fight climate change with China and

[00:08:07] wave

[00:08:10] a country that produces more carbon than like we could ever hope to reduce our carbon footprint

[00:08:17] like it doesn't matter what we do

[00:08:20] it sent you an article that they're like ranked 25th in the world for pollution

[00:08:27] yeah well climate change along with you know the next big scary thing is has always been

[00:08:35] you're right it's always the big it's the big crusade it's the big political crusade

[00:08:41] that politicians latch on to because it gets people emotional gets people fired up and it gets

[00:08:48] people to kind of hand over power and their rights to the government to just kind of continue running

[00:08:54] with their their agendas and to strip you of your rights and all that I mean it was for a while

[00:09:02] it was terrorism then it's climate change then it's COVID now we're back to climate change so

[00:09:09] it's always there's always this big overarching like crisis that politicians have to solve

[00:09:16] um and it requires you giving up a lot of your rights and obviously your money in taxes

[00:09:22] and stuff like that but climate change will is always there it's always their go-to it's always

[00:09:26] their fallback it's there it's the number one thing that they always do um and it's just this fuzzy

[00:09:34] kind of like well what is climate change how are we defining climate change like I you know

[00:09:41] I think we're both on the same page like you said uh the climate does change that's statistically

[00:09:48] provable they can show like the climate has changed throughout thousands and thousands of years

[00:09:54] the question is how much has man contributed to the climate changing is a whole different story

[00:10:00] and there's a lot of debating uh points of view on that and that's where we're going so I think it's

[00:10:06] this fuzzy science that politicians like to use to scare people into giving them more power and

[00:10:12] and obviously more money um and the fact that he's going over to China to kind of try and work on

[00:10:19] climate change is odd because they're one of the worst polluters in the entire world um but we can

[00:10:27] get into it and start kind of delving into it then we'll kind of finish and round off the episode

[00:10:32] with his interview with Alex Michelson they did not bring any professional equipment I can tell

[00:10:40] to record that it looked like they kind of recorded it there you are I keep freezing on you

[00:10:46] yeah my video looks just fine so I don't know who's ended is okay it might be your house with everybody

[00:10:56] streaming or playing multi-player games or whatever um okay so uh he released the press release after

[00:11:06] he just got back um the governor's is what governor Newsom's trip to China accomplished

[00:11:14] and this was sent out Monday uh what you need to know governor Newsom's trip to China was about

[00:11:20] delivering real climate action and creating opportunities for future collaboration and cooperation

[00:11:26] so there you go it's the uh climate change and collaboration

[00:11:32] uh according to Gavin Newsom the governor's meetings with Chinese leadership resulted in it

[00:11:36] first of its kind declaration by China and California to cooperate on sub-national climate action

[00:11:43] again no that's what I'm waiting for i've been waiting for more China action to work with California

[00:11:52] excuse me on this trip California signed five memorandum of understanding with China's

[00:12:00] national development and reform commission the provinces of Guadang and Jiangsu I'm sorry if

[00:12:07] I completely butchered those immunist palies of Beijing and Shanghai uh just so everyone's clear a

[00:12:14] memorandum of understanding has literally literally no binding legal effect on anybody um it is

[00:12:24] literally memorializing that you agree on something or that maybe you like something but it doesn't mean

[00:12:32] that California and China are in some like private treaties um only the president and the senate

[00:12:39] have the ability to make those treaties so they mean nothing so China could sign all the memorandums

[00:12:45] of understanding that they want it doesn't mean they're actually going to do anything about it just

[00:12:48] means they have entered this whatever memorandum of understanding uh over the next two months

[00:12:56] China uh over the next two months leadership from carb in the California Energy Commission plan to

[00:13:01] attend the world new energy vehicle conference in China and California officials plan to engage

[00:13:07] Chinese counterparts at APEC in San Francisco and COP28 in Dubai so great uh more bureaucrats are

[00:13:15] going to fly around the world and get international trips on California taxpayer times so good for us

[00:13:23] that we are funding international travel and that we're going to fund and send a whole bunch of

[00:13:27] bureaucrats over to China and talk about the climate uh so are they going there are they walking

[00:13:33] you know like how are they going to make sure that they don't pollute the world uh well they will take

[00:13:41] I'm assure a jet plane that burns off fuel in carbon but when you do that when you fly a jet plane

[00:13:50] in the name of climate change it negates itself it's like unicorns it's just it's magic

[00:13:57] that carbon doesn't exist so like when all the celebrities and everybody show up to those

[00:14:02] conferences and they talk about climate change and global warming and their private jets

[00:14:07] that carbon just it's neutralized because they're doing a good thing it's like karma

[00:14:12] so it's like eating while walking on the treadmill yeah you're burning calories while taking

[00:14:18] in calories exactly okay so I would uh on a theory note like to clear something up real quick

[00:14:24] because I think I'd sent you well you and I actually texted about it I said whose paint art

[00:14:28] was paying for this trip uh that gap went on to China and allegedly there's like a non-profit

[00:14:35] that was founded specifically to ease California taxpayers from having to pay these things

[00:14:41] and they uh the California now I haven't pulled up somewhere I think hold on I don't want to say

[00:14:48] incorrect name so it is the California State Protocol Foundation and I've only somewhat tracked

[00:14:56] their financials there's a lot of a lot of things going on but it seems like they do get a lot

[00:15:01] of big donations from other packs and non-profits and stuff and so if they actually did pay for this

[00:15:08] China trip we did not anyone's allowed to you know find out correct me on that

[00:15:16] but as far as what I have found so far taxpayers did not pay for that but when they do go to that

[00:15:22] conference in China that will certainly be on our dime because it's in the name of you know

[00:15:26] California State funded whatever correct um yeah so look forward to that

[00:15:36] and just to lighten the mood because this whole trip was sort of just one long

[00:15:44] cringe fast I wanted to pull this up

[00:15:51] uh this was probably the highlight of the trip

[00:16:00] his Gavin Newsom going in trests shoes and

[00:16:08] he grabs a little Chinese boy gives him a spank on the butt

[00:16:12] acting like oh that was what I've been to do poor little Chinese kid is like what the heck

[00:16:17] was what is this about just one more time okay Alex Michael San taking video of the whole thing

[00:16:25] tries to go around the back through the legs

[00:16:29] oh

[00:16:35] I think you could actually hear the kid go ow yes

[00:16:39] and then the second time I got you

[00:16:42] watching it through he does that like he goes ow so um I know that was really not important but

[00:16:50] could we talk about it yeah of course it's just so there is nothing wrong with Gavin going out

[00:16:59] I'm playing basketball with some kids okay like we can't really like pick on him for that

[00:17:03] but the whole thing is just he runs into the kid he knocks him over in the way that he grabs him

[00:17:10] he just acts like like we were talking about before it seems like the way he acts like oh look

[00:17:15] we pulled it off we did it together we're in this together and these kids are probably like who's

[00:17:21] who's this guy who invited this old guy dressed like that to come out here and play and now he's

[00:17:25] knocking me over and also just like as a parent I cringe even more because like if some foreign person

[00:17:35] not I don't mean that like that I'm against foreign people it's just to me of like this foreign

[00:17:39] person who I have no clue who they are they mean nothing to me you know I know that they're like in

[00:17:44] some office somewhere but I don't know who they are and they come in knock over my kid and grab

[00:17:48] them I would just be like get your hands on my kid yeah so the whole thing is so weird

[00:17:54] it'd be like the governor of like uh code back like coming down and like falling all over your

[00:18:00] kid you'd be like yeah what are you doing here oh god care if he's like powerful and something

[00:18:05] like contraption if this guy is yeah get off my kid it's so weird and why are you spanking him on

[00:18:10] the butt like that's weird okay that was your first reaction was spank him on the butt I forgot

[00:18:15] to show this as well um the the first partner California's first partner she got in on the action

[00:18:22] in heels and heels okay and uh she she shot her right she did however not fall on any kids so

[00:18:32] um let's see uh this is from California glow governor Gavin Newsom's trip to China mocked for

[00:18:41] cringe inducing moments and here we go um the California glow obviously holds no pun or pulls

[00:18:51] no punches new Sims trip sold to the media as a climate focused tour was more of a sea Gavin

[00:18:56] Newsom on the international stage pretending to be an international diplomat tour his PR team must

[00:19:02] have been working 24 seven on stage photo ops like this glamour shot and then prompt to human

[00:19:07] moments as the tweet below shows it's the basketball video um Rick Renel who is you know working hard

[00:19:17] to fix California um I haven't seen anything coming out of him and fix California uh he actually had

[00:19:23] a pretty funny tweet that said Gavin Newsom has always had really bad judgment like playing basketball

[00:19:28] and fancy dress shoes on slippery concrete kind of funny um but it goes on to say Chinese

[00:19:37] Americans in California become more more critical of the governor making the trip as well as outrage

[00:19:42] that Newsom is not pressed harder on issues ranging from human rights to stopping illegal fentanyl

[00:19:47] coming into the US grace Lee a coordinator of many Chinese clubs and groups in Southern California

[00:19:54] added that Newsom's trip there is a disappointment him and his trip have come up often in the last

[00:19:59] week or so and members from all these organizations are confused as to why he is there could have easily

[00:20:05] worked out deals from California and knock over there and cozy up with the communist government

[00:20:10] but he did does he realize that this is the same government that is committing genocide against

[00:20:15] the weaker people that has no freedom of the press that has blocked mostly internet off that has

[00:20:20] been that banned democratic images Newsom doing something so callus is mind boggling um hold on fixing

[00:20:29] something hold please holding holding uh let's see this was pretty interesting uh BYD

[00:20:41] you know what i mean by the way that you're going to be

[00:20:43] build your dreams if does that company sound familiar

[00:20:48] you cut out so i think you just asked me a question

[00:20:52] I said BYD does that company sound familiar

[00:20:57] i don't think so but then you're going to tell me and i'm going to fill down

[00:21:00] uh this it goes on say perhaps the standout moment of his Chinese China visit

[00:21:06] trip was when newsom was filmed behind the wheel of the build your dreams oh and

[00:21:12] and where the companies newest electric vehicle while a California

[00:21:17] if BYD rings a bell you'll recall that newsom purchased 1.4 billion dollars of mass

[00:21:23] from Chinese company BYD at outside of covid pandemic using taxpayer funds

[00:21:29] so it was an electric car company that was making masks

[00:21:32] mm-hmm so and he gave him 1.4 billion dollars and then he had to stop over and say hi to him

[00:21:39] probably had to see where all his money was going um

[00:21:44] did you wear this mask though like did you go to the hospitals

[00:21:49] to the health corner workers because you know we were one point for a billion dollars

[00:21:53] i had to buy my own yeah i mean well you can go to the store and buy like a hundred

[00:21:59] masks now for like five dollars so um or go on amazon sure you can buy a crap ton of

[00:22:06] of mass now so what is 1.4 billion dollars in mass look like

[00:22:12] yeah that's a lot that's a lot of mass so who knows where they went yeah it's a lot of

[00:22:18] it's interesting but yeah it's interesting that an electric car company that had no experience

[00:22:24] in making mass got a contract for 1.4 billion dollars um to make mass so he must have something

[00:22:32] going out with BYD so keep an eye on that on that in the future what's his connection with BYD

[00:22:41] all right i feel like you just challenged me to find it i sort of did challenge

[00:22:46] you can keep an eye on BYD and Gavin Newsom all right before we hop into the interview is there

[00:22:54] anything that i missed that we need to talk about with his his china trip let's see i have all these

[00:23:03] articles open that you sent me i mean do we really need to talk about the problems here back home

[00:23:11] probably not but i think i kind of get into the listeners that show as well at they know

[00:23:18] yeah they people listen to the show are well aware of what's going on in California left

[00:23:23] the state or that yeah i well we appreciate our listeners who have left California but tune in

[00:23:29] anyway because they want to know what's going on in California we appreciate you all those people

[00:23:34] out of status um yeah there was a political article i sent you um i didn't really get into

[00:23:40] it was like right before we hopped on about how um you know people were calling him out for the

[00:23:45] fact that he basically didn't take Xi Jinping to task on human rights abuses and all that stuff so

[00:23:53] yes and this is like your country that doesn't allow gay marriage or same-sex couples to adopt

[00:24:00] stuff like that and so you know he's so after red states but yet he's determined to make these

[00:24:06] relationships with China who's kind of worse than these red states so yeah yeah it's interesting

[00:24:15] that he's talking about uh you know he always talks about freedom and everyone's liberties

[00:24:20] and civil rights and then you go over to China and it's like well they have a whole bunch of their

[00:24:26] abuses too and the only thing he could say about China was just how incredible they were in their

[00:24:32] infrastructure oh there was the thing with the wall um i don't know if we have video of that

[00:24:37] where he was like standing on there's a photo of him standing on the wall then they asking what

[00:24:42] it's like to be on the wall and he said you know it's time we i want to tear down these walls

[00:24:48] and it's like you want to tear down the great wall of China um it's been there for thousands of

[00:24:53] years okay um but it's it's funny that he's i think someone pointed out that he was standing on a wall

[00:25:01] in China that was built to keep people out of China on their border when he hates the wall

[00:25:09] in California um it's just a whole mess of stuff anyway shall we jump into his interview

[00:25:18] sure all right let's do it let's jump into his interview with Alex Michael saying who

[00:25:25] was one of the reporters who was granted access to go on this uh this trip with him

[00:25:39] excuse me

[00:25:40] um

[00:25:46] China of all places

[00:25:50] yeah um so we have spent the week together and what do you think is the most important

[00:25:57] takeaway for you from this whole

[00:26:00] well i think the willingness for the Chinese to embrace uh the message not just the message

[00:26:06] jerk uh we've been treated extraordinarily well but the issue of climate change

[00:26:09] they wouldn't have met knowing that was the agenda unless they were committed to do more in

[00:26:15] this space and i think that's reflective of the experience we had this week the fact that we signed

[00:26:20] signed five m o u's and the fact that president Biden announced as we were here

[00:26:26] that he'll be meeting with president she in California a few weeks do you think that would have

[00:26:30] happened if you hadn't had your meeting yeah i think it likely would have but i think this

[00:26:34] gives a little more momentum and the fact that we were the foreign minister uh in two meetings

[00:26:39] of the decal I'm applying after for the second meeting he was in with president she myself and

[00:26:44] others and then met with our secretary of state and then met with the president to it formally

[00:26:48] announced there was a continuity of consistency in the messaging uh as uh and the engagement as

[00:26:54] what likes to be means we had in terms of the readouts of what we saw uh in Washington DC okay so

[00:26:59] let's go into the g me because that's the biggest me getting a week i was walking in there

[00:27:04] this this hall just like unlike anything i've ever seen before yeah and there's like trumpets

[00:27:08] blaring and there's soldiers walking yeah they don't score what's going through you were mine walk us

[00:27:13] through that i guess there's what i expected uh yeah just as you know the student of history student

[00:27:19] yeah that's sort of the scene that you can expect when you walk into a meeting with a dictator

[00:27:25] over the top military trumpets blaring yeah it's over the top that's what it looks like when you meet

[00:27:34] with a dictator so

[00:27:41] okay uh it was what i've seen on the screen they'll be there in person and sort of experientially

[00:27:50] uh walking uh in on that red carpet as we all did and that that stolen building that was donated

[00:27:57] to the chaget

[00:27:59] i'm pretty not in there of course what was that i'm sorry what was that

[00:28:04] what just happened i'm sorry folks i what just happened

[00:28:09] what's my question do you think he's taking notes for his his presidential inauguration but

[00:28:21] i'm a little sidetracked right now yeah wow what i don't even know how to get that to do that again

[00:28:28] what was that

[00:28:35] you're right

[00:28:48] we lost bill he's gone don't spit your tea out now oh my gosh oh my gosh we got to cut that

[00:28:57] or which is to leave that i didn't i i made air quotes if for those who are watching

[00:29:05] what was that

[00:29:12] don't see anything about again oh my gosh

[00:29:15] stay here oh my gosh i didn't know there were like special effects you could do on this

[00:29:22] oh i don't know if i really became a talk now like

[00:29:25] oh my gosh that must have been a new update to our our recording software anyway

[00:29:31] um i was gonna say donated

[00:29:36] right more like stolen taken by force they they were not uh they were not donated

[00:29:41] that was definitely taken by force so

[00:29:44] oh my gosh anyway that was whoo that was the highlight of the episode i don't want to say

[00:29:53] about no more you know what you did no no air quotes or anything okay let's keep going

[00:30:05] remarkable uh it's it's a structure that exudes power i think

[00:30:13] soot's place uh in it's intended to be what it is uh yeah it was sort of overwhelming for any

[00:30:20] visitors home field advantage i guess uh you know i don't know what it's analogous to

[00:30:24] when they sent the obelophess is the greatest home field advantage for the president

[00:30:28] somebody walks in there and i think i think they're trying to replicate that but

[00:30:32] but again there's a familiarity when you see people i guess it is all by all the adage

[00:30:37] when you see people on tv all the time like i know you uh and then you have the opportunity

[00:30:41] spend time with someone and it was surprisingly relaxing so let's get into the meeting itself um

[00:30:49] the points you make to she talk about climate change you know you also talk about tenement

[00:30:54] yeah would you say what was his reaction well you even i mean the meeting was nice at these first

[00:30:59] there's a lot about california is about san francisco how many times he visited three times

[00:31:03] vice president president and in 1985 this first visit through san francisco on his way to Iowa

[00:31:09] and his memories of san francisco particularly the golden eighth grade uh so just on the human

[00:31:14] human side just that that softener and then we got into the issue to the reason i was there around

[00:31:19] climate change and he knew that he was certainly prepared he was well aware of where we were

[00:31:23] in our previous uh journey at least the previous days of where we were going next uh so he was teed

[00:31:28] up for that and uh what would remind full of what that agenda represented to be in that

[00:31:33] oh we transitioned to fennel and i told him personally this is uh you know sent him on a killer

[00:31:37] people 1849 the United States will be after it's taken one life a day in the place that i hope you

[00:31:43] visit in san francisco at eight pack in a few weeks as we transitioned into formal invitation of

[00:31:50] course to eight pack uh as a host state governor but uh it was an interesting transition and he was very

[00:31:56] prepared for that part of the conversation well even though there was no preparation in advance

[00:32:01] that i would bring that uh you didn't ask you a human rights direction

[00:32:06] i did perfect timing where are you saying

[00:32:10] i don't know i was just going to say you know fennel that gavinousam's taken very seriously and

[00:32:15] has increased the border patrols by 50 percent so yes yes that we did cover a lot

[00:32:22] i understand was taking it very seriously at home it's best that he was able to transition to that

[00:32:26] conversation and that you know they were prepared to speak about it but then he doesn't even say like

[00:32:32] they they certainly didn't sign any like uh then marannum's of agreements there you know of like

[00:32:39] we're gonna solve the ventanol crisis together it was just like oh we talked about it and then he

[00:32:43] just like moves on hey hey you had an opportunity there's there's an issue here where are you at gavin come on

[00:32:56] you

[00:32:59] brought it up to the foreign minister you know vice president you know there are folks on both the left

[00:33:03] i laugh about it sure you clearly made a strategic choice to do that what was your thing to do

[00:33:09] with the foreign minister was in the video she i spent an hour with the foreign minister uh and

[00:33:14] that was the appropriate meeting on the basis of the conversations i had with the state department

[00:33:19] on the basis of the fact that that would be better place to communicate a more nuanced and detailed

[00:33:24] explanation of our points of view on the issue of human rights and democracy on issues related to

[00:33:29] Taiwan issues related international uh and foreign policy more broadly uh and we took a limited

[00:33:35] time we had with she which we were told would be just 20 minutes and we have the opportunity extended

[00:33:40] to 45 and i didn't want to miss the opportunity those 20 minutes to reinforce the

[00:33:46] not as president of the united states just plain president of the united states right now

[00:33:59] but as a governor of one of the largest states and one of the largest coming to the world

[00:34:04] to focus on low carbon green growth and i don't want to miss that opportunity in moment to

[00:34:09] influence this foundational agenda which is bigger than any situational agenda in our lifetime

[00:34:16] i mean some of the thinking if you do that he goes like this and he's not open to anything else

[00:34:21] i had an opportunity to talk about the most important issue in our lives it's the most important

[00:34:25] issue everything else is situational this is the most sustainable issue it's changing everything

[00:34:31] and what happens is our mind gets so short fuse on the situation

[00:34:36] it's far and it's that you know and so my mind is so focused on the fact that like

[00:34:42] i'm a stay at home mom so we're single income and like my husband's paycheck just doesn't go

[00:34:47] nearly as far as it used to and i'm just so focused on that that i can't even be like oh my god

[00:34:53] what are we doing about climate change that's that is really kind of crazy that he says

[00:35:01] climate change forget forget the human rights abuses against the weaker Muslims in China

[00:35:07] situational situational forget that the concentration camps and horrible conditions out there living

[00:35:13] in situational not as important as climate change nothing this is the first lifetime

[00:35:23] that might be i mean he says he's pretty slick and i've always said this give Gavin News

[00:35:28] some credit he's a slick politician he's good at what he does that might be one of the biggest

[00:35:33] flubs he's ever said publicly which is to kind of downplay the human rights abuses against the

[00:35:41] weaker Muslims so to just say oh well that that stuff situational that's that's not as important

[00:35:48] as this this is everything everything comes down to climate change okay you know you want to talk

[00:35:56] about the human rights abuses during covid when they were locking people in their homes they were

[00:36:01] literally locking them and don't focus on that don't focus on that that's situation climate change

[00:36:08] this is the most important thing so he's usually pretty good at being slick at answers that was a

[00:36:13] horrible answer um that will probably come back to bite him someday when he runs for president

[00:36:18] politics changed the way we live change the way we breathe changing our health patterns changing

[00:36:29] our wealth patterns changing migration around the world there's no more concept potential issue

[00:36:35] in the world today long and medium term increasingly short term then the issue of climate change

[00:36:41] as important as all those other issues it's been remarkable to see the reaction to you lots of

[00:36:47] cameras that he probably brought to take plenty of pictures and video Alex come on

[00:37:06] what do you think that that though has done for us China relations and China California relations

[00:37:14] naming tourists and all these in handsome as health from the tourists did I hear that

[00:37:18] correctly I guess he's just him being handsome in China has helped California tourism

[00:37:26] and we're gonna need a lot of it with with our 20 billion dollar deficit in the unemployment

[00:37:30] funds so get get to it you know get get those what do you call get those tourists over here

[00:37:38] get them some Disneyland passes and get them over here as fast as possible we need that one

[00:37:42] I feel like he should just like charge for an exhibit and he could probably you know if he's

[00:37:48] if people are like lining up to be tourists in California just to get a glimpse of him like why is he

[00:37:52] charged like five dollar entrance fee and he could big dealians in a few days probably it sees

[00:37:59] you know Alex is he's damn handsome so handsome

[00:38:04] and we talk about the United States it's an abstract it's an intellectual that's

[00:38:10] to have a human being attached to these conversations to be able to communicate its human beings to

[00:38:15] talk about areas of common concern and common humanity is incredibly powerful in the fact

[00:38:21] that of the first governor has been here for 1.5 years and the fact that we're talking about

[00:38:25] the issue that is the issue that will define the fate and future of this planet and that's the

[00:38:30] issue of climate change and to be able to have this kind of access and the vice president for

[00:38:34] a minister with every major minister and have substantive conversations detailed nuance conversations

[00:38:41] not just platitudes and photo ops decide five ML use that we negotiate it took you months to

[00:38:47] negotiate a document that has literally no legal binding at all but now I know how many of you

[00:38:54] still find it now I wonder why our government so backwards it took you month that's what you were

[00:39:00] focused on it took months month it's a one-page document that says we understand we're going to work

[00:39:07] together on climate change yay that took months geez that's embarrassing

[00:39:15] extraordinary and I'm blessed and humbled by are you concerned though that some of those images

[00:39:27] of you may be used as sort of propaganda by the administration that a lot of people see as

[00:39:32] repressive and communist well I mean I was here three prior occasions you had a bipartisan

[00:39:39] you have republicans as democrats here just a few weeks ago Senator Schumer was here I imagine

[00:39:44] the same would be said of those meetings say we'll be said about the median president by it

[00:39:48] will we have much better than see stay at California

[00:39:59] so I mean the number one training part number one I mean count ones need to know this

[00:40:03] number one training part of the $1 trillion of the time I mean it's it's the tourism

[00:40:12] and trade and we're going to be more covered from the pre pandemic tourism and that's for our

[00:40:17] restaurants or hotels our retailers I want to get that back and buy with two million Chinese

[00:40:23] Americans living in California I've come from San Francisco and Gateway China the first and largest

[00:40:27] China town I want to get back to that and look at the end of the day with all due respect I don't

[00:40:33] want a new cold war I don't want to go to World China I mean some people I think really do I mean

[00:40:39] it scares the hell out of me think about that I mean this we got a softened tone antenna here

[00:40:46] and that was the reason I came I couldn't take the right people need to take we can

[00:40:50] just let us reason my name was to knock it in a world with China I thought he went to solve

[00:40:54] climate change and like save the world because that's the single most important issue we shouldn't

[00:40:58] be focusing on other things right yeah so how dare he how dare he focus on a situational maybe

[00:41:06] war with China yeah that's situational Gavin you can't focus on situational stuff climate change

[00:41:12] is way more important than World War III I'm disappointing Gavin you're not focusing on the big picture here

[00:41:23] oh my god if I have to hear him say Biden has completed a masterclass one more time it is such a

[00:41:32] canned response the masterclass just a masterclass as president unbelievable

[00:41:46] in dealing internationally with China in terms of what he's just done on chips and that impacts our

[00:41:50] states much of one of the both states and I defended that decision I defended our position as a

[00:41:56] like to Taiwan what's happened and the concerns we have around the Taiwan Straits and I defended

[00:42:01] very forcefully what we're doing what broadly on very the other issues and at the same time focusing

[00:42:06] on the areas of agreement so we can advance our common cause you know some of the criticism back home

[00:42:12] is that China feels like a world away from being back home and people are concerned about issues

[00:42:17] like homelessness concerned about gas price situational local concerns that situational okay

[00:42:24] dealing with climate change more important being in China talking about climate change is way

[00:42:30] more important than what's going on in California that situational stuff Alex you're getting off

[00:42:35] the point here yeah like you didn't really listen out on the first time yeah

[00:42:45] what do you say to those I don't know it's 24 seven seven days a week homelessness is the number one

[00:42:50] to number ten issues all I focus on it until literally the last minute I left here at the end of

[00:42:56] a legislative session signed unprecedented housing and homeless bills just to clarify in the

[00:43:01] office Gavin Newsom is admitted that he has spent 24 he's been on this homelessness issue 24 seven

[00:43:09] focused he said the word focused he's been focused on it 24 seven it is top topic number one through

[00:43:15] ten and with all that effort and focus it's only gotten worse so but also that's just situational

[00:43:28] I'm sorry yeah I mean yeah but remember that this climate change is the single most important

[00:43:37] crisis of our lifetime yeah don't focus on other things are situational he told us that five minutes

[00:43:44] ago you know people dying of fentanyl in California situational situation not important

[00:43:58] order of magnitude the most significant mental health reforms in California's history that will

[00:44:03] be placing on the ballot taking a few days after legislative session with the entire

[00:44:08] legislature's obligation are out of town after remarkably successful year where we were able to

[00:44:14] focus on those issues in nuance and detail to advance the cause of climate and partnership and

[00:44:20] trade and investment in our state to focus on the issues of reinvigorating these relationships I

[00:44:27] think is a pretty good use of time a couple of the climate things you talked about and one that

[00:44:31] I think is really interesting is this idea of launching satellites the California is about to be

[00:44:36] in satellite business we have the next month to be able to detect that thing from space talk

[00:44:43] about why that's important what that's going to be like well there's no such a national I get

[00:44:48] California's a unique place the way we make status I've been in five years I think it's

[00:44:54] I don't know that any other governors been out of the country less than I have I've only been on two

[00:44:59] I mean again call me crazy I think if you're the governor of a state in the United States of America

[00:45:06] there's not really any reason for you to go on out of the country true

[00:45:12] yeah I mean you're a lot of vacation yeah I mean yeah you I would say okay vacations fine like if

[00:45:20] you want to take your vacation you want to go somewhere that's fine and you know Gavin had his

[00:45:24] share he went to Mexico during COVID and then he stayed at that villa owned by a Russian oligarch

[00:45:30] also during COVID but that's besides the point but like official trips like they're going out

[00:45:35] of the state to go do other things like in different countries on official business I I don't know why

[00:45:42] governors do that there's no reason for me to yeah there's nothing legally you can do like there's

[00:45:48] nothing you can't enter into any agreements you can't do anything so it's it's literally just

[00:45:54] for show and it's just for pictures so the fact that he's bragging about well I haven't been out

[00:46:00] the country as governor like there's only my second time okay your governor of a state you should be

[00:46:09] in the state working on solving the problems in that state

[00:46:18] yeah so I want to order and here and I think primarily that's because of the pandemic so this is not

[00:46:24] you got some other states and democracy is that part of the job of being governor going to other

[00:46:31] states and lecturing them on their policy is that part of the job of being a governor idea

[00:46:36] I literally missed that part in my government class so yeah I don't think that's part of being

[00:46:43] governor is to go to different states and lecture them on what they're doing wrong

[00:46:47] you

[00:46:52] the governor's consistent I oversee you saw that with swords and anger for having to see all the other

[00:46:57] ministers my point is to make the point that it is limited in its time certain and it's focused on

[00:47:04] moments that I think matter and issues that matter climate change but the subtext of that is

[00:47:10] what you're suggesting is that we are as a state doing what nations do and that's

[00:47:16] launching satellites we'll have a constellation of eight satellites we put a hundred million

[00:47:20] dollars approved by the legislature in the budget to address the potency and power of addressing

[00:47:27] fundamentally mitigating issues around detection and mitigation I have no idea what the heck he's

[00:47:34] talking about the detection of methane yeah from space satellites I'm gonna skip ahead because I know

[00:47:44] you made some notes so let's skip ahead okay because he's talking about cowfarts and stuff like

[00:47:51] that I'm not really go to I mean it's just quick but like 12 minutes 26 seconds 12 minutes 26 seconds

[00:47:59] okay

[00:48:08] every critical category AI we dominate on innovation and entrepreneurialism on patents

[00:48:14] the finest system higher education on planet earth we're leading the world on carbon

[00:48:20] strategies to reduce carbon change the way we produce and consume energy and it's a really

[00:48:25] point of pride we want to export that and we want to import it so I'm not talking about

[00:48:30] leading the way sorry I cry I had oh it's second too late but he basically said

[00:48:36] California is leading the nation in every critical area and then he starts naming all these areas

[00:48:40] meanwhile we're technically failing in a critical area but well he's he's he's saying we're

[00:48:48] leading in these like fuzzy science areas but you know well great but what good is that when

[00:48:57] our students are failing and our population is becoming more and more broke and homeless and poor

[00:49:03] and crime is out of control and we're all gonna be shot to death anyway but at least we

[00:49:10] I mean you know science we're leading in other bad categories too in terms of poverty and

[00:49:20] unaffordability and housing prices and gas prices and

[00:49:26] leading right to the bottom when it comes to passing grades at school so yeah

[00:49:31] we're leading a lot of other categories too but he doesn't want to talk about those he talks

[00:49:35] about the fuzzy stuff like carbon and AI and stuff like that and satellites to track how far it's

[00:49:44] okay let's jump to 15 this was another bookmark yeah

[00:49:53] so the fact that there hasn't been as much communication between the two countries because of COVID

[00:50:00] and because of the politics of COVID afterwards yeah um you've thought about a lot what we did

[00:50:06] write what we did wrong because there could be another pandemic with your governor he got to do

[00:50:10] this again what do you think was the biggest lesson learned in terms of what we did wrong that maybe

[00:50:15] you would do differently the next time I'm not consumed by what we did right I'm consumed a little

[00:50:20] bit more by what we did right I mean we led the nation in terms of and there's no large state that

[00:50:24] out for California 21 of the top four states in terms of health wealth and education let me be

[00:50:29] specific about that on a per capita basis and a number of people lost didn't we debunk this and say

[00:50:34] that that's not true at all did we yeah yeah tweeting to again now I just know I feel like I'm

[00:50:43] like yeah I think we're I'm pretty sure we're the last in education so I don't know why he keeps

[00:50:49] saying we're top in education like anybody can just google California rankings and of course you

[00:50:55] can't you know miss the opportunity to bring up Florida and it's like no Florida is still beating

[00:51:01] us at these things they're still ahead of us so yeah

[00:51:09] we're in the wealth we contracted at a smaller rate in 2020 we expanded at a faster rate

[00:51:14] economy in 2021 and we had less learning loss than states like Florida and elsewhere so we

[00:51:19] outperformed the rest of the nation in that respect I think we should acknowledge that at number two

[00:51:25] we also acknowledge at the time we didn't know what we didn't know and we're experts are geniuses

[00:51:30] in hindsight though I'm not sure that we're as smart as we could be because we've never really

[00:51:36] done the kind of exercise of humility and accountability to really look back right now the

[00:51:42] only things that have been done to look back on what could have been done better or smart

[00:51:46] are are done in a partisan way save what we're trying to do in California I'll add an effort

[00:51:52] about nine months ago and was a year ago now in sunny lands brought world experts we interview

[00:51:58] people around the world about California's approach to code and we said what did we do right what

[00:52:02] did we do wrong convened for three days with these world reading experts and we have a report

[00:52:07] that we're looking forward to publishing on areas where we could have proved a substantive answer

[00:52:12] that question not emotionally answer that question through an objective lens not a partisan and some

[00:52:17] of it I mean schools shut down too long I mean in certain parts of the state in certain parts no just

[00:52:23] here we go we gave local control did we did we Gavin did you give local control

[00:52:37] or did you run California from Sacramento because that's what it looked like you did in COVID I

[00:52:43] mean we don't want to be a dead horse here we've talked about COVID and his policies but he certainly

[00:52:47] didn't give local control to schools it was very much here's what the California Department of Health

[00:52:54] says you have to meet these standards if you don't meet these standards then guess what you don't

[00:52:58] get to go back to school and most schools didn't come close and never reopened during COVID or

[00:53:04] went back to person so and he's still trying to take away local control from schools

[00:53:11] yeah well it's yeah that's a great point ironically he's talking about we gave back local control but

[00:53:16] he doesn't like local control when it goes against his agenda or his political philosophy

[00:53:21] that local control is bad

[00:53:23] no no no no no no no no he this idea of localism it's great I mean if that's if he really is

[00:53:44] advocating the idea of localism and a constitutional system that he's advocating sure I've said this

[00:53:52] before I've said that at California it should be run like it's a little country each county should

[00:53:57] be run like its own state and we should have more local control and there should be little governors

[00:54:02] of these counties and stuff like that and basically that's how we should be run

[00:54:07] that's never been Gavin Newsom's philosophy though that's never been a California Democrats philosophy

[00:54:14] in here in California when they had the super majority they basically shove Bay Area policies down

[00:54:21] the rest of our throats whether we want it or not Gavin Newsom shoves his policies down our throats

[00:54:27] whether we want it or not he doesn't believe in local control he doesn't believe in local elected

[00:54:32] officials making decisions for themselves as we've seen with school boards so at the end day he

[00:54:37] does not believe in localism he believes in a top-down mentality where all the power comes from

[00:54:42] a centralized sacrament out and the rest of us just have to bend a knee to the to his sacrament out

[00:54:48] so no he does not believe in localism he does not believe in that sort of

[00:54:55] no he definitely did not advance any sort of localism

[00:55:03] the half-companied control so the question is do we want to ship that policy and allow a dominant

[00:55:09] force in sacramental to determine the fate of local school districts

[00:55:12] uh he must have been tired or something because this is not one of his best interviews he's

[00:55:18] bit just giving bad answer after bad answer um what i'm sorry you you did you just literally say

[00:55:28] you don't want a dominating force from sacramental telling local school districts what they can and

[00:55:33] cannot do i'm sorry is that what you just said in dp-todd

[00:55:38] with all the stuff that's going on right now that's what he said is that he doesn't think a

[00:55:45] dominating sacramental pro uh it's that a dominating sacramental power presence should not be

[00:55:51] pushing a local school boards okay okay well keep that energy when you come back and local

[00:55:58] school boards vote for parental notification policies and you don't throw a fit or have your

[00:56:04] attorney general file lawsuits against them so just keep that same energy news him

[00:56:14] he says it was yes they waited too long in other cases they didn't but the point is this

[00:56:21] if the purpose was to keep people in schools because we wanted to aid in their learning

[00:56:26] it's an interesting fact isn't it that states like Florida are out there saying we got we opened

[00:56:32] up earlier and yet they did worse in academic achievement they were they had more learning loss

[00:56:39] in every city lies or for a great reading fourth grade math a great reading lies for good

[00:56:44] night category time in every just lies their students

[00:56:54] spared worse than in california these are facts and that's why this is not an emotional topic

[00:57:00] we have to i think come out of this with a sense of humility absolutely i'm naive about

[00:57:07] things we could have done differently or better but also a little grace uh the california

[00:57:12] tended to do a little bit better than most other states um before you came here you were in

[00:57:17] israel you met with eating at nyahu was that meeting like we want to say

[00:57:22] and i flew

[00:57:27] flew in uh i know a lot of you are anxious about landing in telebefe we we've secured as much protection

[00:57:35] as possible um and you know it's covered night it's very dark into the city we landed in uh

[00:57:41] met with the president of my former minister met with families including members from law

[00:57:47] sandals uh met with a family that uh that i had met prior uh in california uh with american citizen

[00:57:55] snout still held hostage 23 old young man and uh and it was very intensively

[00:58:00] did he go from israel straight to china was that the route he took or am i getting that wrong

[00:58:07] no i think i think israel was first because he just got back from china on sunday

[00:58:12] yeah he's yeah he went to israel first

[00:58:20] in around the what what it's an essence of what for real uh with actually the prime minister and

[00:58:27] that says surreal experience in the the myths are in the middle of the war and we flew out uh 12 hours

[00:58:32] later flew in the cypress flew into Athens flew to the london and made my way out to harkon

[00:58:37] it's been quite a week would you say to netanyana well i mean i i listened more than uh i said

[00:58:43] i did say this was what what what there's a couple days before i left Israel why why

[00:58:50] is why is california sending anything do i have to say this again 20 billion dollar deficit in the

[00:58:57] unemployment fund that there is literally no answer for what what supplies gavin what supplies could

[00:59:04] you possibly be sending is it left over mass yeah jinx it's the left over mass from b y d your

[00:59:13] buddies over in china is that what you're sending them because what could california possibly be

[00:59:18] sending to israel that they need that the federal government's not already sending and and

[00:59:23] boxes and billions of dollars gavin and is here no that's that's what they needed they needed him

[00:59:30] to the morale booster like we talked about around there like it's real but psych if only gavin we're here

[00:59:37] and then he's like only with grant if only they sent over the real president and then they did

[00:59:43] and gavin was there um all right is there anything else that we need to touch upon it i think he's

[00:59:48] kind of getting off topic of what he was doing China no i just think that other driving with sharks

[00:59:52] thing that yeah you brought that up that he was diving with sharks and environmentally that like

[00:59:59] what is that ruin the environment or like their ecosystem or something yeah i mean according to

[01:00:04] environmentalist that like that's like a it disrupts their breeding and and it's just so i just

[01:00:11] laugh because this whole thing has been about climate change and then he's like yeah i took the

[01:00:15] opportunity to go diving in sharks i guess you didn't guess anyone told you that was you know supposedly

[01:00:24] something you don't do if you care about the environment and remember it's the number one issue

[01:00:30] and everything else is situational i know i know so don't don't ask him about anything else

[01:00:36] all right final thoughts about mr new sims trip to china

[01:00:43] you want to go first to show up flying cars haven't we been talking about flying cars for like 60

[01:00:47] years now like a hundred years um yeah he he went and talked he went to this factory that was producing

[01:00:56] well you want to test the factory then he also went to this factory oh well he went to the

[01:01:01] test of factory and he was expecting that they're going to be driverless flying cars soon

[01:01:08] although however the california department motor vehicles revoked permits for driverless

[01:01:12] vehicle testing operated by the rideshare company crews following multiple incidents

[01:01:18] so right and then you know those flying cars will have to be battery operated and that's the

[01:01:26] issue that they're having with airplanes as batteries are too heavy yeah so you do with batteries when

[01:01:33] they've run out of their juice yeah you put them in the ground and hope that it doesn't create

[01:01:41] problems here's later um yeah so my final thoughts you want to go first or shall i

[01:01:49] no i think that's my final thoughts you go ahead um yeah i mean it's sort of the same that i started

[01:01:55] off with obviously this is just more uh this is more photos and videos and more building up his cred

[01:02:02] for he can run for president um you know as soon as he won re-election it was so evident that he

[01:02:10] just did not care anymore about being governor of california and um at this point he's just

[01:02:16] reaching for the next brass ring in his political career and that's obviously the presidency so we can

[01:02:22] look forward to the next how many more years until he's out three years because he just got reelected

[01:02:28] yes yeah yeah so so three more years until he's out um it's going to be more of this it's going to

[01:02:36] be more of him being an absentee governor he was like this as a lieutenant governor too there were a

[01:02:41] lot of people called him out for the fact that he was kind of an absentee lieutenant governor and

[01:02:45] you didn't really actually do his job um but this is going to be him for the next three years if he

[01:02:50] doesn't run for president next year um if he isn't shoved into it so uh uh uh uh

[01:02:59] memorandums of understanding their great photo ops they don't mean anything they don't do

[01:03:04] anything these Chinese officials probably laughed on their way out of the room saying like who was

[01:03:09] this guy and why do we care who he is um we're not going to listen to him anyway he has no power

[01:03:14] outside of being governor of california um so yeah i you know it looked like a lot of pomp and

[01:03:20] circumstance was thrown for him which was pretty impressive there were dinners and there were

[01:03:25] meetings and he got to meet the president and there was you know people following all over taking

[01:03:31] photos because as Alex michael said he's so he's so darn handsome that's why everybody in china

[01:03:37] just fell all over him um so end of the day uh it i think he's trying to obviously build his

[01:03:47] presidential cred but i think it also long term is not going to resonate with swing voters in swing

[01:03:56] states um i think something like this when california's suffering looks horrible and i think political

[01:04:05] opponents will just run with this they will be like you know gavin newsam when when crime was on

[01:04:11] the rise and people were being shot in the street and robbed and there was fentanyl and all these

[01:04:18] issues and gas is over seven dollars a gallon where was gavin newsam and they'll just show a picture

[01:04:24] of him hanging out with ggping not gonna ever get the gavin newsam was hanging out with the ccp

[01:04:31] and playing basketball and falling over little chinese boys um and that's going to be ammo for those

[01:04:39] swing states and middle america so it's not it's not going to play well um all in all i think

[01:04:48] i'm pretty honest i think this was a major political blunder on his part i think it looks horrible um

[01:04:54] just comes off really really bad focus on your state solve the issues here if you want to run for

[01:04:59] president because running for president when your state is on you know an absolute dumpster fire

[01:05:05] right now not a good look so i guess those are my final thoughts yeah i guess california so bad

[01:05:13] even gavin doesn't want to be here anymore yeah even he's like and i don't even want to be here

[01:05:18] anymore i'm out like he was used to count in the days he's like legislate sessions over

[01:05:23] i'm out guys like i'm out of here i'm gonna hitch a plane to israel i'd rather go to a war

[01:05:29] torn israel than being california right now that's his kind of that's his outlook on california

[01:05:35] right now um there wasn't article i i found i i didn't actually get past the paywall but i wanted

[01:05:42] to see what uh the lieutenant what governor was up to because she's running the state where she

[01:05:47] was running the state i didn't i get to see what that was obviously nothing big i haven't really

[01:05:51] heard about it so um yeah that's basically it mr mr new sims trip to china political blunder

[01:06:00] it's not gonna look good gonna be horrible play in the swing states and independent voters

[01:06:06] all right so i think that's our episode for tonight uh any other thoughts before we sign off

[01:06:12] no i'm good i apologize i have no idea how i made balloons and confetti pop up in my camera
