00:00:00.200 Newsom says Democratic brand is toxic.
00:00:03.020 Okay, is this with Bill Maul, Rob?
00:00:04.540 Yep.
00:00:04.880 Okay, go for it. Play this clip.
00:00:06.780 These guys are crushing us.
00:00:08.680 The Democratic brand is toxic right now.
00:00:10.920 We had a high watermark two weeks ago, and that was a CNN poll at 29% favorability.
00:00:15.940 It's dropped in the NBC poll down to 27%.
00:00:19.020 It's one thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense.
00:00:22.160 And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity to dialogue with people I disagree with,
00:00:26.120 it's an opportunity to try to find common ground and not take cheap shots.
00:00:29.880 I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel of their, or at least a crowbar in the spokes of their wheel to trip them up, to your point.
00:00:35.800 And I think it's important.
00:00:37.260 Democrats tend to be a little more judgmental than we should be.
00:00:40.660 The hand gesture.
00:00:41.220 This notion of cancel culture, you've been living it.
00:00:43.880 You've been on the receiving end of it for years and years and years.
00:00:46.120 That's real.
00:00:47.000 And Democrats need to own up to that.
00:00:48.960 Tom.
00:00:50.120 So I think there's something really dangerous about Gavin Newsom.
00:00:53.120 Gavin Newsom is running right now.
00:00:54.980 And you'll see, if you watch this interview with Bill Maher, Bill Maher asked him, why don't you run?
00:01:01.520 You're capable.
00:01:02.140 You can do it.
00:01:02.900 And he won't answer the question.
00:01:05.180 He won't answer the question and say that he's running, but he is running.
00:01:08.700 And that's what's going on here.
00:01:10.040 And what's interesting, what's very, very interesting, he said, we own the failed governance in California.
00:01:16.860 But I said there's a new day last year and that we own the response of reform.
00:01:22.940 You hear that response of reform, Vinny?
00:01:24.980 Yep.
00:01:25.380 We own the response of reform.
00:01:27.580 That is the wolf in sheep's clothing.
00:01:30.320 That is what's coming.
00:01:31.560 This is a political posturing.
00:01:35.680 You know, it's not like when Bill Clinton ran to the middle and governed from the middle.
00:01:41.360 Because if you look at Arkansas, I actually think he kind of was a bit of a centrist.
00:01:47.220 He was always a liberal, but he kind of governed from the center.
00:01:51.120 It was not controversial.
00:01:52.560 It didn't create a lot of problems.
00:01:54.660 And he got a lot of stuff done.
00:01:56.680 And Newsom is not that.
00:01:58.100 This is, I believe, what Newsom is showing.
00:02:00.780 And I'd love to sit down and talk with him and challenge him on this, saying, how do you keep tweaking your positions like this?
00:02:06.700 Don't you see what this looks like?
00:02:08.320 Is this really the way you feel?
00:02:09.660 If this is the way you feel, why didn't you say this last year?
00:02:12.160 I'd love to hear him kind of unpack that and who he is.
00:02:14.760 And then ask him, say, why didn't you answer Bill Maher?
00:02:17.420 Are you running or are you not, big dog?
00:02:19.400 Vinny?
00:02:20.060 Listen, did you guys see the entire interview with him?
00:02:24.180 Bill Maher was like, Rob, did I send you the one clip?
00:02:27.100 Yeah, like, ready for this?
00:02:28.600 Bill Maher is playing this game where he's like, he's pushing him, but then he's having fun.
00:02:32.620 He's not really holding his foot to the fire because it's like a joke.
00:02:36.060 I'll let Rob play this and I'll let you know.
00:02:37.660 Rob, how long is it?
00:02:39.180 113.
00:02:39.660 Yeah, yeah, go ahead and play and then I'm going to say my piece.
00:02:41.920 Let's talk about what's important.
00:02:43.940 My roof.
00:02:45.040 Your roof.
00:02:46.400 My roof.
00:02:47.120 Is this the solar?
00:02:48.280 Is this more back to the solar?
00:02:50.540 After the fire.
00:02:51.580 It's always about the solar.
00:02:53.280 Yeah.
00:02:54.360 Fun game.
00:02:55.000 After the fire.
00:02:55.760 Yes, Bill.
00:02:56.180 New roof.
00:02:56.720 New roof.
00:02:56.780 They suggested, you know, get the stuff that's not, okay.
00:03:00.340 Two inspections I needed to have.
00:03:02.220 Why?
00:03:02.800 It's my roof.
00:03:03.620 If it falls on my head, that's my problem.
00:03:09.820 That's it?
00:03:10.360 That's it.
00:03:10.840 That's just a statement.
00:03:12.160 No, that's my question.
00:03:13.520 Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for?
00:03:16.600 Yeah.
00:03:17.180 You were here last time.
00:03:18.440 We talked about regulations.
00:03:19.680 You said, oh, it's a completely new day.
00:03:22.320 Well, no.
00:03:22.720 Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:03:23.780 There comes a hand gesture.
00:03:24.960 It's a completely new day.
00:03:26.640 You said you were working on it.
00:03:28.900 By the way, and last week you had Ezra Klein on, which was incredibly important.
00:03:32.820 He wrote a book called Abundance, which really lays out a very condemning picture of liberal
00:03:37.840 governance in this country and the fact that we are process-focused and not outcome-focused.
00:03:42.880 And your demonstrable example of that as it relates to what you've tried to do with your
00:03:46.440 damn roof for the last 15 years.
00:03:48.440 Look, you're having a great time.
00:03:49.360 And so it's our job to eliminate as many of those thickets.
00:03:52.780 How's that going, though?
00:03:53.940 How's it going?
00:03:55.160 Again, this is Bill Maher.
00:03:56.900 He loves Gavin Newsom, his words, OK?
00:04:01.340 For Gavin Newsom to call the Democratic Party toxic, it's all hypocrisy.
00:04:06.720 He's been poisoning California for years.
00:04:10.780 I don't want anybody out there to forget it, OK?
00:04:13.080 The taxes, the regulations, the policies, the billions of dollars wasted on homelessness.
00:04:17.780 And what did it do?
00:04:18.640 It produced more homeless people, OK?
00:04:21.300 The wildfire is raging.
00:04:22.480 Everybody's blaming everybody.
00:04:23.780 It all falls on him.
00:04:24.780 He's the governor.
00:04:25.480 All the business is fleeing.
00:04:26.960 They lost me.
00:04:27.800 They lost you.
00:04:28.560 They lost you.
00:04:29.400 We're here now.
00:04:30.360 The streets are overrun.
00:04:31.500 Homeless encampments.
00:04:32.760 It's just horrible.
00:04:34.620 California's falling.
00:04:35.260 And then he's flip-flopping on transgender issues.
00:04:37.460 He pushes for policies that will have minors have the freaking surgeries with other parents
00:04:41.980 knowing.
00:04:42.740 And now he's playing the blame game, Tom.
00:04:45.900 No, no.
00:04:46.400 It's the party.
00:04:47.600 This is what all these guys.
00:04:49.040 Have you noticed or is it just me?
00:04:50.380 All of these people, all the Cuomo's, all the Stephen, everybody that was left that voted
00:04:55.960 for Kamala now is like, man, this party got out of control.
00:05:00.300 No, no.
00:05:00.820 You are out of control.
00:05:02.260 You guys are all the fault for everything that's happened for the past four years.
00:05:05.880 You all supported it.
00:05:07.000 And now everybody's jumping ship.
00:05:08.660 Now it's like he's the savior.
00:05:10.280 Oh, no, no.
00:05:10.660 I'm going to change.
00:05:11.360 I'm going to change.
00:05:11.820 No, no.
00:05:11.980 And that's the problem.
00:05:13.040 I think we're giving people this platform because if a conservative talks with them
00:05:16.660 and sits with them, when it comes voting time in four years, they're going to go like
00:05:19.220 this.
00:05:19.740 Yeah.
00:05:19.960 Remember that interview, Tom?
00:05:21.380 Gavin seemed like a really nice, reasonable guy.
00:05:23.840 Do not be fooled.
00:05:24.820 He's a Trojan horse and he's going to be the front runner.
00:05:27.260 Mark my words.
00:05:28.160 And this snake, my opinion, is going to be the front runner and people are going to vote
00:05:31.900 for his ass.
00:05:32.480 Period.
00:05:33.180 Seem, feel, think.
00:05:36.140 It's feelings and perceptions and sentiment.
00:05:38.680 And that's where you run for most voters in America.
00:05:41.980 Because most people are not, you know, locking in unless the economy or immigration really
00:05:47.860 hits them hard and then they're reacting.
00:05:49.840 But in a neutral economy world, you know, he's got a chance to present himself.
00:05:55.280 And Bill Maher, I'll say this about Bill Maher.
00:05:57.760 Bill Maher is looking for a guy to get behind on his side.
00:06:01.040 Of course.
00:06:01.340 Bill Maher is a liberal.
00:06:02.460 And he's looking, who are the draft picks I have?
00:06:04.960 Who do I have?
00:06:05.500 And he's trying to pick somebody that he thinks is electable.
00:06:09.240 I don't have any quarrel with Bill Maher for that.
00:06:11.160 But I think that's what Bill Maher is doing.
00:06:13.560 And he likes this guy.
00:06:14.980 He's, you know, he's personable.
00:06:16.540 We know that he's a little bit slick.
00:06:19.160 A little bit slick.
00:06:20.060 But Tom, look at the state.
00:06:21.720 Sorry.
00:06:21.980 A little bit slick?
00:06:22.940 Look at the state of California.
00:06:24.300 If this is a resume.
00:06:26.460 His report card is not good.
00:06:27.760 Yeah, if your resume, if you, Tom, if I showed up to your office and I was like,
00:06:32.320 Hi, I'm Gavin Newsom.
00:06:34.260 I want to run your company.
00:06:36.500 This is how I ran my company, California.
00:06:39.260 Are you even, look at the first page.
00:06:41.760 You're not going to talk to this guy.
00:06:43.500 He's not good at his job.
00:06:44.780 I think he knows that.
00:06:45.580 And I think that's why he's out here saying, we're trying to have a dialogue,
00:06:47.860 trying to understand this, trying all this.
00:06:49.540 He's trying to move off of that because he knows that's the record.
00:06:52.020 He knows that's the report card.
00:06:53.120 And he's got to do what he can in the political stage to move off that.
00:06:57.260 And I think that's what we're seeing.
00:06:58.140 But that's the fear for me, Tom, is this four years.
00:07:00.620 And I think the trolling of Trump for the new, another term, the third term,
00:07:06.680 it's just trolling people like The View, which I love it.
00:07:09.060 It's trolling people like Rosie O'Donnell because the TDS, he loves doing that to people.
00:07:12.900 But the fear that I have is in the four years,
00:07:15.740 these type of people are going to be in the conversation to run the country.
00:07:19.800 And you want to talk about reversing everything?
00:07:21.620 That's what they're going to do.
00:07:22.580 Well, let them worry about the third term.
00:07:24.500 Maybe it helps Trump get other things done.
00:07:26.260 I hope so.
00:07:27.180 Adam.
00:07:27.640 Well, let me tell you something about this guy, Gavin Newsom.
00:07:29.800 He is such a good politician.
00:07:34.220 This guy, he's a hypocrite.
00:07:36.960 He's a flip-flopper.
00:07:38.360 He's two-faced.
00:07:39.520 He's disingenuous.
00:07:40.640 He's slick.
00:07:41.560 He's insincere.
00:07:42.780 And that is why he is such a good politician.
00:07:47.080 He walks out the door and does politician style,
00:07:50.580 puts his finger to the wind.
00:07:51.540 Which way is public opinion leaning?
00:07:54.460 All right.
00:07:54.900 That's what I'm going with today, guys.
00:07:57.420 It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:07:58.960 He stands for nothing.
00:08:00.480 And at this rate, this is what makes him such a good politician.
00:08:05.660 Which way are we going on this?
00:08:06.800 How many things has he flip-flopped on?
00:08:08.820 We remember during COVID, he was the U-Haul salesman of the year.
00:08:11.800 That whole incident, French Laundry.
00:08:13.740 Do as you're told.
00:08:14.580 Don't do as I do.
00:08:15.340 That whole thing.
00:08:15.880 The COVID lockdowns, the mask mandates, the kids in school.
00:08:19.540 He was for Latinx.
00:08:20.900 Then he didn't know what Latinx was.
00:08:22.720 For trans.
00:08:23.340 And then we're getting a little too carried away with the trans here, guys.
00:08:25.880 The budgets, the fires.
00:08:27.320 It's all falling apart.
00:08:28.600 And now he has the balls, if they still have those things in California,
00:08:33.560 to go on Bill Maher and be like, listen, guys, the Democratic brand is toxic.
00:08:39.700 You're the poster child of why they're toxic.
00:08:43.400 Yeah, period.
00:08:44.340 You're the governor of California.
00:08:46.120 Like, you're the poster child of why they're toxic.
00:08:49.260 And you're being like, listen, guys, we.
00:08:51.400 They.
00:08:51.880 No, they.
00:08:52.480 These guys over here.
00:08:54.380 Yeah.
00:08:54.900 It's such a unique skill as a politician.
00:08:58.700 To be able to do that, to look in the camera, know that you don't give a shit about anybody.
00:09:04.080 About any policy, about any conviction, and be like, and that's why you should vote for me.
00:09:10.460 Unbelievable.
00:09:11.280 Yeah.
00:09:11.540 What an incredible politician.
00:09:13.920 And if there's one thing I know about him, he ain't scared to show up.
00:09:17.560 Nope.
00:09:17.920 We were at the RNC debate.
00:09:19.340 He was there.
00:09:20.300 He's having Charlie Kirk show up.
00:09:21.900 Newsome.
00:09:22.300 I mean, he was saying with DeSantis.
00:09:24.240 It's unbelievable.
00:09:25.380 Well, hang on, hang on.
00:09:26.280 Hold on.
00:09:26.640 In California, where he was outside at a pop-up news tent.
00:09:31.200 So it wasn't like he traveled to the middle of freaking Texas to do this.
00:09:36.160 You don't think he would?
00:09:37.820 This guy will show up.
00:09:39.060 I'm saying the event you're referencing, let's talk about what he did.
00:09:42.340 Okay.
00:09:42.840 Yes.
00:09:43.260 You're right.
00:09:44.100 But you think this guy?
00:09:45.040 He just had Charlie Kirk on.
00:09:46.800 Didn't he have Steve Bannon on?
00:09:48.040 Who the hell did this guy have on?
00:09:49.120 Yeah.
00:09:49.520 So you're giving one example of, yeah, because the RNC was in California.
00:09:53.900 I would think he would go to other places.
00:09:55.820 This guy, there was a song from, Tom, you would know this.
00:09:58.760 You're a big hip-hop fan by Bone Crusher and Killer Mike.
00:10:01.800 And it would say things like, we ain't never scared.
00:10:04.680 We ain't never scared.
00:10:05.840 This guy must have listened to that song on repeat, put on his American Psycho outfit
00:10:11.000 and be like, let's get him and take America down.
00:10:14.340 Because we ain't never scared.
00:10:15.640 This guy is so skilled and is so ready for the battle.
00:10:19.420 We'll see how long it lasts.
00:10:20.800 But this guy's running in 2028.
00:10:22.960 There you go.
00:10:23.740 Mark that.
00:10:24.400 All right.
00:10:24.700 So, by the way, somebody just placed an order of four of these.
00:10:27.820 This thing's about to be gone.
00:10:28.960 One person just ordered four of these things here for himself and apparently gifts.
00:10:32.880 And who knows?
00:10:33.580 Maybe one on eBay.
00:10:34.520 But if you haven't placed the order yet, go to vtmerch.com.
00:10:37.900 Place the limited edition order, guys.
00:10:40.020 There's a few remaining before this thing goes.
00:10:42.500 Probably within the hour, it's going to be sold out.
00:10:45.360 The new leather, genuine leather backpack that we have.
00:10:48.520 Anyways, gang, it's been great being with you.
