1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, we spend a lot of time talking about

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,000
the ways that Trump and Republicans are letting down average Americans,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,759
But today I actually wanted to focus on the positive,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,119
and specifically Gavin Newsom. So, welcome back to The Michael

5
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,679
con Show. On our continued journey to half a million subscribers,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,920
we're like forty eight hundred away. Now, yeah, that's it,

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,120
and then we hit the five hundred thousand mark, So

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,640
hit subscribe, watch, comment, and share, and soon we'll be

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,079
able to put an end to this stupidity. So California's

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,320
Gavin Newsom has figured out legitimately how to attack Trump

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,679
via social media, and being that California has the fourth

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,039
largest economy in the world, he has the legitimacy to

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,759
do so. And this week Newsom spoke at the New

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,320
York Times Deal Book Summit, and while he was skating

15
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,960
with his remarks, I want to start by showing some

16
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,479
of Newsom's latest social media posts. In it, he turns

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,280
around in he writes real words from Trump. Just now

18
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,640
in the oval it's a con job. I think affordability

19
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,159
is the greatest con job that was from Kyle Griffin.

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,040
Gavin Newsom responded how dare you want to be able

21
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:17,959
to pay your bills? He then goes on in with newswire,

22
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:23,079
US economy lost thirty two thousand jobs in November. That's

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,079
ADP data. Gavin Newsom's response, great job to real Donald Trump.

24
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:34,599
Third one turns around and goes well built different. Next

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560
one he turns around and this is from my friend

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Jojo from Jurds. Gavin Newsom never falls asleep in public

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,159
Governor Newsom. True. Another one turns around and it says,

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,239
Gavin Newsom is the country's strongest and most powerful governor

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,319
we have ever seen since seventeen seventy six. And this,

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,079
of course is from Frozen Capital. No MRI a medical

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,599
exam could ever possibly compete with the greatest governor ever

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,799
Donald Trump stands no chance. Governor Newsom's press office. True,

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,879
it's one hell of an AI photo. And then finally

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,000
from Bloomberg, Costco joined the fast growing list of businesses

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,879
suing the Trump administration to ensure eligibility for refunds if

36
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:24,919
the US Supreme Court strikes down the President's signature Global

37
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:31,199
tariff Governor Newsom's office, but other countries pay the tariffs?

38
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,800
All right, all cock guyed just as so is the

39
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,159
idea of these tariffs now. He also posted about the

40
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:44,719
funding for California, the funding to rebuild from the wildfires

41
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,360
this year. Let me show you what he said. In it,

42
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:52,680
he says, California Governor Gavin Newsom is headed to DC

43
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,680
to push for a long overdue federal aid package for

44
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,919
LA fire survivors. Despite by artisan support in Congress, the

45
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Trump administration still hasn't sent a recovery proposal. That's ten

46
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:13,479
months after California's first request. Meanwhile, what do we end

47
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,199
up having? Well, you have, Pete, Hegseth then of course

48
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:21,319
posting this in it, remember what he's talking about for

49
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,199
your Christmas wishless. What he did is he's making fun

50
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,800
of the attacks that they are doing on these alleged

51
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,639
Narco boats. Of course, Gavin Newsom was very quick to

52
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,039
respond with this. In it, he writes, just go to prison, Pete.

53
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,000
Mind you, during his speech at the summit, Newsom he

54
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,639
didn't hold back. That's one thing the guy doesn't do.

55
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:52,960
He doesn't hold back speaking about Ice and Greg Bovino.

56
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,759
Speaker 2: Play the clip he sent Greg Bovino in his Secret

57
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,680
Police that seemed to have taken over office to him.

58
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,360
Not the Constitution of the United States, to our campaign

59
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,039
kickoff at the Democracy Center, to chill participation in our rally.

60
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,759
And he federalized four thousand National Guard and sent seven

61
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,279
hundred active duty Marines not overseas, but to the second

62
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,680
largest city in America. And they're still our federalized Guard

63
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:25,839
still there. Wake up to what is going on in

64
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:26,399
this country.

65
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to tell you, I watched part of it.

66
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,560
It was truly a fascinating discussion. The only thing I

67
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,480
would have told Gavin Newsom maybe not the right way

68
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,480
to be sitting. He looks like he's in a yoga

69
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:40,879
class now. He also, of course, referred to the GOP

70
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,279
having what he is referring to as California Derangement syndrome.

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,639
Play the clip.

72
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: We went from the sixth largest economy the fourth largest

73
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,920
economy four point one trillion dollars a year. We have

74
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,480
more fortune five hundred companies and we've ever had in

75
00:04:56,519 --> 00:05:00,399
the last two decades. Went from forty eight to now

76
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,639
are forty nine out to fifty eight four to five

77
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,519
hundred companies. You brought up Sam Altman a moment ago,

78
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:09,480
the largest market cap private company in world history. He

79
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,639
decided just a few weeks ago. We're to headquarter it

80
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,759
in the state of California. Were more scientists, engineers, more

81
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Nobel laureates, venture capital over one hundred and six billion

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
dollars this year. Sixty eight percent of that invested back

83
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,680
into the state of California, finest system of higher education

84
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:30,279
in the world, a conveyor belt for talent like no other.

85
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,000
I mentioned the R and D investments. The future happens

86
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,199
in my state first, where America is coming attraction that said,

87
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,439
I also will reinforced the obvious. We're else the dominant

88
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,399
manufacturing of in the United States of America four in

89
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,079
five point six billion dollars, thirteen point nine percent of

90
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,279
the US manufacturing Compare that to Rondo Santis two point

91
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:54,519
eight percent. In Florida, we're the dominant egg state sixty

92
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,199
two point one billion dollars, forestry, hunting jobs, eg jobs.

93
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,959
You talk about farmers and ranchers, you're talking about my

94
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,319
home state of California. The state of California has seen

95
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,800
population increase. We had a Treasury secretary here who needs

96
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,839
to actually get some facts. You challenged them on some

97
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,160
California saw population increased last year of one hundred and

98
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,279
one hundred and five thousand, the prior year forty nine thousand,

99
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,040
the prior before that, you got update your talking points.

100
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:23,240
There's California derangement syndrome.

101
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that California derangement syndrome is coming straight from

102
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,240
this administration. In fact, it's coming straight from the top.

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,399
Let me be crystal clear. There's nothing that Gavin Newsom

104
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,360
said there that's not one hundred percent accurate. All Right,

105
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:42,120
California has the fourth largest economy in the world. And

106
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,079
when you start attacking what we refer to as a

107
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,360
donor state, meaning California pays more to the federal government

108
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:55,680
than they receive. Now, let's not forget that wildfire that

109
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,560
destroyed I don't even know how many billions and billions

110
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,000
of worth of property of people's homes and so on.

111
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,759
And yeah, they are expecting a plan from the federal

112
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,000
government in how to make these people whole so that

113
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:15,959
you can actually start rebuilding again. But for whatever the reason,

114
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,399
as well, we all know it's because California did not

115
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,279
vote for Trump. Therefore, this administration has no intention of

116
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:27,519
helping them. I mean, let's just talk about for a

117
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,000
very quick second, how long did it take Grihalda from

118
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,879
Arizona to get sworn in versus now Van Epps two

119
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:40,399
days versus over two months. If you are on their side,

120
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,879
one two, three. If you're not well, it could be fifty,

121
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,800
sixty or seventy in terms of numbers. They just don't care. Meanwhile,

122
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Gaven Newsom brought up another way that California is leading

123
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:59,240
the United States by partnering with states to bring down

124
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:02,639
their own costs. They're not waiting for the federal government

125
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
to do it. He is doing it on behalf of

126
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,639
California with other states. Play the clip.

127
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: We just came out with eleven dollars insulin. We're not

128
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,000
subsidizing the cost of insulin. We're manufacturing it, reducing costs,

129
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,680
not subsidizing cost We just came out with a new

130
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:26,879
strategy to provide sixty billion dollars of utility rebates in

131
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,680
the state of California through our cabin invest program, regionalizing

132
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,919
our grid with other Western states to lower costs, deal

133
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,320
with curtailment issues, create more stability on our grid, to

134
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,159
also address that issue.

135
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is important. You know what people

136
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,320
don't realize. If you are somebody who has to take insulin.

137
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,240
Prior to all of the changes in terms of how

138
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,879
much is being charged and so on, it was like

139
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,799
hundreds of dollars. And with all of the economic issues

140
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,279
that are taking place now, people were actually only taking

141
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000
half the injection because they couldn't afford to take the

142
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,240
full injection and then to pay the rent, to pay electricity,

143
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,759
and to have food on the table. I mean, we're

144
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,879
talking about the richest country in the history of the

145
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:21,279
world not being able to provide medication and food for

146
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,120
those who are in need. Well not California. Newsome also

147
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,639
touched on tariffs, explaining how small businesses are getting wrecked.

148
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,639
Speaker 3: Play the clip and I'm serious. If you were Tim

149
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,840
Cook under the circumstance he's in your state. Under the

150
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,639
circumstances he is in which is well that he manufactures

151
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,440
a lot of stuff in China, and he was worried

152
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,159
about the tariffs.

153
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: He was able to make a phone call that no

154
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,879
small business in my state could have made. I mean,

155
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:53,200
how about my farmers and ranchers in California. How about

156
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,360
all these small medium sized businesses that can't pick up

157
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,960
the phone and get an exemption on their tariffs. So, yeah,

158
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
It breaks my heart a little bit. It that's that's

159
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,399
that's a version of crony. That is by definition crony capitalism.

160
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,360
It is the definition of it. But what is he

161
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:14,039
back to the generous analysis, Uh, that's called being a

162
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,399
fiduciary doing what he needs to do on behalf of

163
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,519
his shareholders. That's his job. So do I begrudge that, Yes?

164
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,960
But do I begrudge him? Not as much. But what

165
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:30,519
I do begrudge is the tone and tenor that this

166
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,200
administration is set and the expectations they've set that if

167
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,399
you don't do the bidding, you don't write the check,

168
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:42,759
you don't get the contract, directing contracts, changing procurement, sole

169
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:45,759
source on this soul source. That this is a different

170
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:49,759
level than we've ever seen in the past. Some would argue, Okay,

171
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,639
it's just more transparent, bys it's at a different scale

172
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,080
than we've seen in the past, and and and for

173
00:10:57,159 --> 00:11:01,039
those that are complicit in participatory in that beyond their

174
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,600
fiduciary responsibility, that's where I have a real problem.

175
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Look, you have all seen on this show in past videos,

176
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,600
I showed you Tim Cook coming to Trump's Oval office

177
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,120
and presenting him with a trophy. And remember I turned

178
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,799
around and I said to you that the base of

179
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,360
that trophy weighed in at a whopping five pounds and

180
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:29,360
made of gold. No, not gold plated gold. You're talking

181
00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:34,639
about three hundred and seventy thousand dollars bribe, if we're

182
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:36,919
going to call it that a three hundred and seventy

183
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:41,519
thousand dollars gift. So when Gavin Newsom turns around and

184
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:46,120
says that this is normal, well, this is abnormal, that

185
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200
we've never seen anything like it. They claim this is normal,

186
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,960
that it's just that when more transparent than others, he's

187
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,960
right to say it's bullshit because it is. We have

188
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,679
never seen a scenario like this where you have countries

189
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:03,000
who are seeking favor. I'm talking Cutter providing the president

190
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:06,759
with a four hundred plus million dollar gift the airplane,

191
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:10,159
or Tim Cook with this trophy, or how many others,

192
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:14,320
including when he went to Korea and they presented him

193
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,080
with a sword and a gold crown. This is in transparency,

194
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:22,799
this is grift. And finally, I do want to end

195
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,320
on a clip of Newsom explaining that if we don't

196
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,879
fix our economy to allow for a distribution of wealth,

197
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,639
a fair and equal distribution of wealth, our democracy will

198
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,679
die play the clip.

199
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: We have a party that I think needs to design

200
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,279
and develop a compelling economic vision for the future where

201
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:47,159
people feel included to reconcile the fact that if we

202
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,159
don't democratize our economy, we're not going to save democracy.

203
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,720
And I don't think it's healthy that we have ten

204
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,639
percent of people that on two thirds the wealth in

205
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,320
this country. I don't think it's sustainable practice the folks

206
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,080
watchings as proportionately thirty year olds, the first generation in

207
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,480
history not doing better than their parents. There are some

208
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:08,440
underlying issues here that have to be addressed. We have

209
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,200
an economy that is broken for too many people.

210
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: It's true. Imagine you have one guy who has more

211
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,799
money and a greater net worth than many nations. Then

212
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,360
you have others that can't afford a donut in the

213
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,720
store or a bottle of water. Look, i'mulfha capitalism, don't

214
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,240
get me wrong, but there does need to be a

215
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:36,879
need to help all Americans to achieve the American dream.

216
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,360
And that's what I believe Gavin Newsom is talking about.

217
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:44,759
It's also why I believe that Gavin Newsom will certainly

218
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:50,080
be a candidate a Democratic candidate for the presidency in

219
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:55,320
twenty twenty eight, and as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone,
