00:00:00.000 And by the way, while this is going on, they invited Halle Berry to a New York Times event.
00:00:04.700 What?
00:00:05.520 Halle Berry?
00:00:06.660 And Halle Berry gets up on stage.
00:00:08.280 If I were to tell you right now Halle Berry is going to get on stage at a New York Times event and call out Newsom, 1.00
00:00:13.260 and I told you last week, I want to make a prediction.
00:00:15.420 What would have been your odds of this happening?
00:00:17.720 Slim to none, watch what she says.
00:00:19.360 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:20.280 But opposite of that, back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom,
00:00:27.060 has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row.
00:00:33.260 But that's okay, because he's not going to be governor forever.
00:00:38.400 And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife,
00:00:44.120 he probably should not be our next president either.
00:00:47.840 Just saying, I need every woman in this country to fight with me. 1.00
00:00:53.560 But the truth is, the fight isn't just for us women.
00:00:57.060 We need men too.
00:00:58.360 We need all of the leaders, every single one of you in this room.
00:01:01.380 She sounds very reasonable.
00:01:02.080 This fight needs you.
00:01:03.920 That's pretty wild for her to speak the way that she does.
00:01:06.520 Adam, your thoughts on Halle Berry?
00:01:07.720 How old is Halle Berry now, by the way?
00:01:08.800 She just posted a picture saying celebrating 60th or 50th or something like that.
00:01:13.740 Can you pull with her?
00:01:14.480 She's 68.
00:01:15.760 She's 59.
00:01:17.600 Wow.
00:01:18.180 She's still got it, baby.
00:01:19.400 She looks great.
00:01:20.760 Halle still got it.
00:01:21.600 So just so I understand the framing of the situation, it's a New York Times event, and
00:01:25.620 they're inviting people to have open conversation.
00:01:28.420 Yes.
00:01:28.760 Sort of unlike what the actual paper does.
00:01:31.040 Deal book summit by the New York Times.
00:01:32.180 Yeah.
00:01:33.160 How often have you heard Trump go, the failing New York Times, the failing New York Times?
00:01:37.380 The New York Times, let's get this straight.
00:01:39.060 They used to be the gold standard for reporting, for journalism.
00:01:42.660 Yeah.
00:01:42.900 They were like, we're the New York Times.
00:01:45.080 How dare you question us?
00:01:46.760 We're the New York Times.
00:01:48.480 At this point, they're like the running joke or leftist gag.
00:01:52.340 Like, oh, the New York Times did it again.
00:01:54.780 The New York Times said this.
00:01:56.120 Okay, buddy.
00:01:56.740 And they still act shocked when you call them out for their misinformation, their mistruths,
00:02:00.840 their disinformation.
00:02:02.000 They're supposed to be the ones who are speaking truth to power, but they're no longer journalists.
00:02:06.020 They're just activists, just parroting the leftist progressive mouthpieces of, you see what's
00:02:11.400 going on in New York?
00:02:12.040 Like, this is the New York Times at this point.
00:02:14.000 Tom.
00:02:15.000 So, on Halle Berry.
00:02:16.400 Halle Berry and Newsom.
00:02:17.320 By the way, if you want to pull up Newsom, he did not respond, but his team responded and
00:02:23.120 said something like, we are looking forward.
00:02:25.280 There you go.
00:02:25.700 I think you have.
00:02:26.520 Was that it or no?
00:02:28.040 You got to know Halle Berry out of California when women are struggling silently. 1.00
00:02:30.720 That's what she said.
00:02:31.600 That's what she said, yeah.
00:02:32.260 He responded.
00:02:33.140 His team said, you know, we appreciate Halle Berry's concern and we are willing to work.
00:02:39.620 Yeah, Gavin Newsom responds to this.
00:02:41.120 Zoom in a little bit.
00:02:42.520 Deep admiration for Halle Berry's advocacy and his reconciling this after he received
00:02:48.060 a sharp rebuke from the Oscar winning actor who warned he probably should not be president
00:02:53.340 during her address.
00:02:54.520 And my great city council, go a little bit lower.
00:02:55.980 Is there a sentence on Newsom told Yad Adby, is that the one Yad Adby line?
00:03:02.260 No, that's from October.
00:03:03.840 Okay.
00:03:04.400 So, anyways, apparently his team responded and said something that, you know, we understand
00:03:08.440 the importance here and, you know, we want to work with her to get what she wants done 0.99
00:03:14.700 in the state of California.
00:03:15.860 In some words like that, that they responded to.
00:03:20.340 Tom, your thoughts on Halle Berry?
00:03:21.780 You know what?
00:03:23.280 I love that she stood up for this because every now and then you'll find a celebrity
00:03:27.840 with an authentic cause.
00:03:29.860 And what I mean by that is when you reach celebrity status, you will get coached by your publicist.
00:03:35.080 Oh, save the whales. 0.99
00:03:36.420 Keep the dolphins out of the tuna nets, you know, and all that.
00:03:39.660 By the way, if dolphins are supposed to be smart and they're so smart, what are they doing
00:03:42.480 in the tuna net?
00:03:43.080 Anyway, so they go on these kind of fake, you saw it, you know, they would encourage
00:03:49.620 you, publicists encourage you in Hollywood, you're a comedian actor, hey, get behind some
00:03:53.140 kind of a charity.
00:03:53.560 Of course, yeah.
00:03:54.220 You know, and it has nothing to do with you.
00:03:55.780 Halle Berry says this has to do with women. 1.00
00:03:57.680 And what she's trying to get, you know, I believe that Medicare plans include Cialis or
00:04:05.900 Viagra now.
00:04:07.120 And people are asking, saying, what the hell is the government really paying for that?
00:04:10.100 And check me on that.
00:04:11.080 I believe Medicare plans cover that.
00:04:13.380 And what Halle Berry is trying to do, he's saying, hey, let's get insurers to cover drugs
00:04:19.140 that affect hormone drugs, hormone replacement drugs, and osteoporosis drugs, and the things
00:04:25.020 that women need as supplements at menopause. 0.80
00:04:27.580 So apparently Halle Berry is with a very legitimate cause as a woman entering middle age and still 0.99
00:04:33.780 looking great and representing it and saying, my governor can't get behind this.
00:04:38.560 I'm not out here with Save the Whales.
00:04:40.000 I'm not out here with some weird charity.
00:04:42.200 I'm out here specifically stating these things could help women.
00:04:46.060 And by the way, this is Newsom at the airport responding to it.
00:04:48.320 Go ahead, Rob.
00:04:48.760 And TMZ.
00:04:50.820 Holly Berry had some comments.
00:04:52.320 Do you have any?
00:04:53.080 She had... 0.99
00:04:53.660 Actually, just connected with her manager.
00:04:56.220 We're...
00:04:56.500 We're...
00:04:57.060 We're going to reconcile that.
00:04:58.320 So we're reconciling.
00:04:59.180 So...
00:04:59.540 I've included it in the budget next year.
00:05:01.260 She didn't know that.
00:05:01.960 Oh, really?
00:05:02.460 So...
00:05:02.660 So we're reconciling.
00:05:03.500 So how do you...
00:05:04.280 What's your message to women who might have been offended by the bill?
00:05:07.640 Or just...
00:05:08.160 What do they not understand about the bill that they should understand?
00:05:10.400 They didn't understand.
00:05:10.940 We already were in the process of fixing it.
00:05:12.720 So we're getting affected.
00:05:13.400 So did you have a...
00:05:14.340 Did you talk to our manager exactly?
00:05:16.920 He's such a...
00:05:18.100 Governor, any chance...
00:05:19.340 2020...
00:05:19.860 Okay, if it was already in there, why would Halle Berry say that?
00:05:23.220 If it was already in there, why does she go on stage in New York? 0.99
00:05:26.300 He's such a good politician.
00:05:26.840 We're reconciling.
00:05:27.820 He's the spin master.
00:05:28.700 We didn't fix it.
00:05:29.860 He's amazing.
00:05:30.220 And he's not scared to go on camera and say, yeah, this is exactly what happened.
00:05:33.100 He's a defender's position.
00:05:34.280 The definition of sociopath is they actually...
00:05:37.520 They know it's a lie, but they're so good that they believe it.
00:05:40.180 He is like water.
00:05:41.200 Did you...
00:05:41.460 I don't know.
00:05:41.780 Did you actually see him on the stage?
00:05:43.080 I think we should take a moment of silence for his actual...
00:05:46.200 His manhood.
00:05:47.040 It was crushed.
00:05:47.680 For that killer crossover.
00:05:48.860 Why do Democrats sit like that?
00:05:51.660 Look at how...
00:05:52.300 Even the other leg is folded, Pat.
00:05:54.400 That can't be comfortable.
00:05:55.800 Him and Obama.
00:05:57.040 Like, how would you not talk like this?
00:05:58.620 That's how I would talk.
00:05:59.920 It hurts.
00:06:00.840 Maybe he drinks.
00:06:01.300 Hey, how do you feel about California?
00:06:02.780 I don't agree.
00:06:03.500 That's how that would...
00:06:04.480 So he could be like the six foot three Christmas elf.
00:06:07.060 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:08.860 Tom, you were going to say something.
00:06:09.980 Sorry.
00:06:10.140 No, I was going to say, if you...
00:06:12.600 He...
00:06:12.940 What he's doing there, if you were to connect the dots, and this was Republicans, you know
00:06:17.720 what they would say?
00:06:18.940 If that was...
00:06:19.740 If that was...
00:06:20.380 If Halle Berry was a Republican and then that was Gavin Newsom there, they would say, Gavin
00:06:24.300 Newsom accused Halle Berry of lying.
00:06:26.060 Of course.
00:06:26.240 He said that she was...
00:06:27.260 Didn't even do her research.
00:06:28.460 Didn't know it was there.
00:06:29.400 That would be the media coverage.
00:06:30.920 But why would Halle Berry go to New York to stand on a stage at the New York Times Deal 0.61
00:06:35.460 Books Summit and say something she knew not to be true?
00:06:38.660 If they already had the coverage with it.
00:06:40.400 Why is it a cause?
00:06:41.200 Why would she do that? 1.00
00:06:42.100 Why would she, you know, stick her chin out? 1.00
00:06:44.340 She wouldn't.
00:06:45.340 Nope.
00:06:45.620 I don't...
00:06:46.160 I don't...
00:06:46.720 Personally, I don't believe Gavin Newsom.
00:06:48.440 And I'd like to see the receipts say that all the things that Halle Berry is specifically
00:06:52.280 talking about, coverages, drugs, and whatnot, are truthfully, honestly in there.
00:06:56.780 Now, if he's saying we have it in the budget...
00:06:58.940 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:07:00.500 I thought this part of this was she wanted to compel insurance carriers and other people. 1.00
00:07:06.420 We have it in the budget?
00:07:07.680 Wait a minute.
00:07:08.120 How...
00:07:08.840 You see where I'm going?
00:07:09.640 How would I have it in the budget if it was supposed to be a policy that forces health
00:07:14.280 insurers to do something?
00:07:15.460 How much do you think, Tom, how much do you think this Tish Hyman lady is influencing
00:07:21.680 Halle?
00:07:22.900 What is the likelihood that he has watched...
00:07:25.120 She has watched all those videos with Tish?
00:07:27.840 You know who I'm talking about, Rob.
00:07:28.960 I think it's very likely.
00:07:29.800 I think it's very likely.
00:07:30.200 How likely do you think it is?
00:07:31.200 I think it's over 90%.
00:07:32.740 Over 90% because...
00:07:34.140 You know what?
00:07:34.780 Halle Berry is an Oscar award-winning actress.
00:07:37.800 And you know what they do when they...
00:07:39.720 They get to get into character actresses and actors of her caliber, Academy Award winnings,
00:07:45.820 do a lot of research.
00:07:47.060 You know about this.
00:07:47.680 You do deep research to get in with the character.
00:07:49.820 Deep research to know what you're going to do.
00:07:51.120 How to present yourself.
00:07:51.700 Tom, I'll ask a simple question.
00:07:52.720 So why wouldn't she...
00:07:53.500 What's the likelihood that she's watched Tish Hyman?
00:07:54.920 Excuse me.
00:07:55.240 I'll answer it.
00:07:55.980 I'll answer it.
00:07:56.620 Go ahead.
00:07:57.260 So the likelihood that she has looked at other people and how to present herself, including
00:08:02.780 Tish Hyman, I think is pretty high.
00:08:04.240 She said yes.
00:08:05.020 So it's high likely that she did.
00:08:06.340 Yes.
00:08:06.780 That's all you have to say.
00:08:07.680 I don't need an explanation.
00:08:09.640 So if she's watched it, so she's probably inspired by what she's also saying.
00:08:16.040 Like the level of agitation for women in the state of California is that, hey, we are ourselves 0.68
00:08:22.560 following a story like this to see what's going on here.
00:08:26.860 But I think her level...
00:08:27.800 Tom, stay with us here.
00:08:28.700 You don't need to...
00:08:29.520 Just stay with us.
00:08:30.540 So I think the part here with Tish, I think she's playing a role in California.
00:08:35.140 I think she's playing a role in California.
00:08:37.320 Tish is.
00:08:37.700 I think Tish needs to understand that she has what it takes to possibly even influence 1.00
00:08:43.020 politically.
00:08:44.180 So I think if there is a relationship there for her to get out there and be vocal about 0.87
00:08:49.500 what she's talking about, when's the last time Halle Berry was vocal about Newsom?
00:08:54.400 Rob, can you even pull up?
00:08:56.060 When is the last time Halle Berry's ever been vocal about Newsom?
00:09:00.940 When's the last time?
00:09:01.640 Or even politics in general, Pat.
00:09:03.620 Have you ever heard her say she's been quiet?
00:09:05.140 I just want to know, when is the last time Halle Berry has been vocal about Newsom?
00:09:10.340 When has that ever happened?
00:09:12.840 Prior to yesterday.
00:09:16.340 Okay, preceptive, come only in October.
00:09:17.720 Newsom has menopause.
00:09:19.100 We're going to show this veto October.
00:09:20.280 Okay, Berry had officially last October events.
00:09:24.380 Got it.
00:09:24.820 Okay, so she has not...
00:09:27.780 She's never been vocal about Newsom ever till now.
00:09:30.520 That's crazy.
00:09:31.080 Okay, when was Tish Hyman vocal about Newsom?
00:09:33.320 I mean, recently, within the last month.
00:09:36.000 Within the last month.
00:09:36.620 So I think Halle is getting her confidence from other women that are questioning things 0.96
00:09:42.380 for her to say, this makes sense.
00:09:44.420 That's the point I'm trying to make.
00:09:46.200 I think Tish is playing a role in California, getting others to be thinking.
00:09:49.740 Think about how bad it is.
00:09:50.840 When you lose liberal black women in California, gay black women, you're losing your whole audience. 0.91
00:09:58.300 Are you kidding me?
00:09:59.600 You're losing the L, the G, and the B over the T.
00:10:03.860 We're going to have a problem.
00:10:05.420 Is that wild?
00:10:06.380 Is that wild?
00:10:06.780 That is pretty wild.
00:10:07.660 But I'm so happy.
00:10:08.400 How happy are you to see it, though?
00:10:09.840 And what's his name, too?
00:10:11.700 Who was the guy that's going to try to take over Nancy Pelosi?
00:10:14.580 The Jewish guy.
00:10:16.560 The guy with the glasses.
00:10:17.740 Why would you assume I know him?
00:10:20.100 The weird guy that was taking photos at the parade.
00:10:23.480 Oh, yeah.
00:10:23.860 I don't know.
00:10:24.820 They're all, they act like they're about women. 0.99
00:10:27.080 They don't give a damn about women. 0.99
00:10:27.940 I don't know who that guy is.
00:10:29.340 I don't know who that guy is.
