00:00:00.000 So they finally get this thing passed, and he blames Trump and Texas for it.
00:00:05.060 Here's him celebrating.
00:00:05.960 Do you have the, where afterwards he's saying a couple things?
00:00:08.320 Yeah, right there, if you can do that.
00:00:09.200 So here's Gavin Newsom, accelerates the process,
00:00:13.400 and Democratic-controlled legislator formally approved a plan Thursday
00:00:16.480 to redraw the state's congressional lines, teeing up a special election
00:00:19.220 on November 4th, Proposition 50, which includes a constitutional amendment
00:00:23.400 and two bills laying out logistics and map proposals.
00:00:26.360 But Gavin Newsom said to sign them.
00:00:28.880 We're responding to what occurred in Texas, and we're neutralizing what occurred,
00:00:34.000 and we're giving the American people a fair chance.
00:00:37.480 Play the clip here, Rob. Go for it.
00:00:39.500 We got here because the President of the United States is struggling.
00:00:43.200 We got here because the President of the United States is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history.
00:00:48.680 We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
00:00:53.680 Congress will go back into the hands of the Democratic Party next November.
00:00:57.660 We got here because of his failed policies.
00:01:00.440 Those are being exposed hour by hour, reinforced today by Walmart,
00:01:04.640 announcing they'll be raising prices because of the tax increases, because of the tariffs.
00:01:09.740 Oh, my God.
00:01:10.260 He's reminded every day by slowing economy, growing mistrust, distrust all across this nation.
00:01:17.140 Across the board, he is failing.
00:01:20.200 He recognized that, and that's why he made a phone call to Greg Abbott asking for five seats.
00:01:25.660 Can't win by playing by traditional sets of rules.
00:01:28.940 He plays by no rules.
00:01:30.500 I remind you all the time, it's not the rule of lots, the rule of dogs.
00:01:34.260 You're so funny.
00:01:35.380 Pause it right there, Rob.
00:01:36.580 Do me a favor, Gavin.
00:01:37.620 I got a question for you, Rob.
00:01:38.600 I just texted you something.
00:01:39.800 Have you read this article at all?
00:01:41.860 Have you gone to this article, Gavin, respectfully?
00:01:44.860 Can you tell us what happened here?
00:01:47.660 Why is it that Democrats get lowest rating from voters in 35 years?
00:01:51.800 Why is that?
00:01:52.900 I'm actually curious.
00:01:54.140 Why do you think that is?
00:01:54.960 Why do you think that it's gotten to a point where you had to either hire two trolls, three trolls as a team to tweet like Trump and send messages like Trump nonstop and, you know, to think and to see if you can beat the guy by trying to be like him?
00:02:13.880 Why is it that you're such a, honestly, and by the way, there's a part of me, you know, when I was younger, my dream was to be an actor, okay?
00:02:22.600 And I even went to acting coaches.
00:02:23.980 You're still good, though.
00:02:24.860 I'm going to throw that out there.
00:02:25.660 I don't know if I'm a, you know, but listen, but it was a dream.
00:02:28.820 Like, this is why I love movies.
00:02:30.380 This is why, you know, I think there's so much power.
00:02:33.100 We're going to get into the movie business next two to five years.
00:02:35.260 We're building a lot of stuff here on our campus.
00:02:36.880 If you see our campus, every day there's something new that's being built.
00:02:40.020 We're going to build a massive amphitheater.
00:02:41.400 We're going to build a three, eight-story buildings here to house 1,500 employees, 2,000.
00:02:46.320 We're doing a lot of stuff here that no one's aware of, but it's exciting times that we're going through, right?
00:02:50.240 But I wanted to be an actor.
00:02:51.200 And you'll watch a movie, and you'll see someone act the part, and I'm like, that was horrible.
00:02:58.880 I think I can do better than that guy in that part.
00:03:00.400 I just didn't feel the emotion in that part.
00:03:01.960 I would have taken this angle, right?
00:03:03.120 You do this all the time because you're a phenomenal actor, right?
00:03:05.440 Thank you.
00:03:05.880 It's natural for you, okay?
00:03:07.980 And listen, I don't want to undermine Chad.
00:03:10.300 He's also a great actor.
00:03:11.880 But I put you at the top.
00:03:12.840 So wherever Chad has a shout-out to you, please don't be upset.
00:03:15.140 God bless you.
00:03:15.580 Kelly's really good, too.
00:03:16.580 I'm watching Gavin Newsom, okay?
00:03:20.320 Like, the younger guys out there that can cut clips.
00:03:23.200 You know what would be a great clip to cut?
00:03:25.040 If somebody shows how many personalities this guy has, okay?
00:03:31.300 The hardcore liberal, the tough guy, the independent centrist,
00:03:37.080 the guy that wants to sit down and talk to Charlie Kirk and other Republicans
00:03:40.340 and move a little bit more to the center, okay?
00:03:44.360 Then the guy that's willing to go AOC, you know, all the way to the left.
00:03:48.780 Then the guy that wants to go blame Trump.
00:03:51.400 Then the guy that wants to take responsibility.
00:03:54.040 Then the guy, I mean, who are you, buddy?
00:03:56.680 Sybil.
00:03:56.900 You know, are you somebody that's just a chameleon that's trying to adapt and fit?
00:04:02.140 And no one knows.
00:04:03.200 Do you know what's the most attractive thing about Trump?
00:04:05.280 Trump, you know what the guy's about.
00:04:08.180 You don't have to like it.
00:04:10.140 He's going to tell you what he stands for.
00:04:11.720 What the hell do you stand for, buddy?
00:04:14.360 What do you stand for?
00:04:16.300 And everybody knows you're trying to run for office.
00:04:20.240 Everybody knows you're dying to be a president.
00:04:22.980 Everybody knows that.
00:04:24.480 Kudos because people are talking about it.
00:04:26.240 So you've got to give him credit because he's getting the eyeballs.
00:04:28.900 So he's definitely know how to get the eyeballs there.
00:04:31.260 But you know if this thing passes, Tom, if this thing passes,
00:04:34.840 what was it, prop, what prop was it, Rob?
00:04:37.040 Prop what?
00:04:37.560 Prop 90?
00:04:39.540 Whatever the proposition was that he talks about in the,
00:04:43.280 let me read this real quick so I give the right prop credit.
00:04:46.340 So proposition 50, right?
00:04:48.640 November 4th.
00:04:50.120 So this proposition 40 is going to pass.
00:04:53.160 There's 80% chance this thing's going to pass.
00:04:55.260 80?
00:04:55.800 80% chance this thing's going to pass.
00:04:57.320 So then it goes from a 43 to 9 House of Representatives in the state of California
00:05:02.740 to 48 to 4, Democrats to Republicans.
00:05:07.180 Guess what, Republicans?
00:05:08.740 You're done in California.
00:05:10.760 Your voice doesn't matter.
00:05:12.520 And FYI, America, who likes Newsom,
00:05:15.740 if you guys for a second start getting with this Trump is bad
00:05:20.520 and he is horrible and all the people that voted for him
00:05:24.240 and now we're like, I just don't like him
00:05:25.780 and he didn't keep his promises and all this other stuff.
00:05:28.500 No problem.
00:05:29.600 This guy's going to come in and do the same thing to America.
00:05:31.840 Just letting you know.
00:05:33.300 Okay?
00:05:33.920 Just letting you know.
00:05:35.120 So the good news is the fact that Republicans' bench
00:05:37.260 is going to be very deep for 2028.
00:05:39.800 It's going to be a dogfight.
00:05:41.560 But this guy is playing games and he's acting nonstop
00:05:45.300 and he cannot make up who he wants to be.
00:05:47.660 He reminds me of what Romney did when he almost beat Obama
00:05:50.720 and he listens to one of his campaign marketing girls
00:05:53.600 that said, don't be too tough on Obama after Benghazi.
00:05:57.820 You were too strong and you won that debate when he beat him.
00:06:00.360 He destroyed Obama in the second debate.
00:06:02.680 Absolutely destroyed the guy.
00:06:04.560 And in the third debate, he doesn't want to bring up Benghazi
00:06:06.940 and he wants to win over female voters
00:06:09.380 because, hey, talk about salad and health.
00:06:12.420 What?
00:06:13.540 Romney could have been a president.
00:06:15.160 But he listened to somebody confuse the hell out of him.
00:06:17.720 And it looks like this guy's marketing team
00:06:19.440 can't make up their minds what side they're on.
00:06:21.040 Tom, what are your thoughts with this?
00:06:23.760 Him passing it, he putting all the blame on Trump.
00:06:26.080 Where do you see this thing taking place?
00:06:27.920 Well, first of all, Gavin Newsom has become Sybil.
00:06:30.780 Sybil was a movie way back late 70s, 80s
00:06:33.760 about this poor young woman suffering from split personalities.
00:06:37.540 And so here we have Gavin Newsom,
00:06:38.980 a poor young woman suffering from split personalities.
00:06:41.080 And I look, I'm going to read some things that this says.
00:06:45.940 I don't even need to say anything.
00:06:47.400 I don't have to conjure up a feeling or a synopsis here
00:06:51.480 because I have from one of his harshest critics right here.
00:06:55.080 It's, quote, quote,
00:06:56.020 it's quite embarrassing actually how Newsom is arguing
00:06:58.980 and targeting the wrong opponent.
00:07:01.220 Donald Trump's not on the ballot in 2026 for midterms.
00:07:04.080 He's not on the ballot in 28.
00:07:05.840 You're not running against Donald Trump.
00:07:07.720 It says, your post using all caps and inflammatory language
00:07:11.060 are trying to capture attention.
00:07:13.160 This is the attention economy you're going after.
00:07:15.480 Why don't you talk about affordability and policies and good ideas?
00:07:19.620 You've got to get attention somehow.
00:07:21.640 So you're on social media doing parodies of Donald Trump.
00:07:24.720 I think you need to look beyond 26.
00:07:27.580 Your approach includes these AI-generated visuals and phrases.
00:07:32.180 Please.
00:07:33.460 Vinny.
00:07:34.220 And guess who that was?
00:07:35.840 Who?
00:07:36.080 Joe Scarborough.
00:07:36.960 Rob, I just think, Rob, can you show us?
00:07:38.600 His harshest critic.
00:07:39.460 By the way, good call.
00:07:40.640 Play this clip, Rob.
00:07:41.480 When you've got Scarborough saying this.
00:07:43.120 Play this clip.
00:07:43.660 Go for it.
00:07:44.080 Democrats are trying to find their footing.
00:07:47.700 And it's quite embarrassing, actually.
00:07:50.220 I mean, Gavin Newsom.
00:07:51.500 I mean, have you seen what he's doing online?
00:07:53.800 And say, just take a deep breath.
00:07:57.680 Don't try to turn the ship 180 degrees.
00:08:02.140 And they don't know what to do.
00:08:03.820 I have a good idea.
00:08:05.000 Instead of trying to, like, school Donald Trump, talk into the camera about affordability.
00:08:13.740 Talk about making groceries, like, more affordable.
00:08:17.860 Talk about what you're going to do for housing.
00:08:20.500 Talk about what you're going to do for energy prices that continue to go up.
00:08:24.940 We heard the congressman yesterday talk about energy prices skyrocketing in New Jersey.
00:08:30.420 You know, don't try.
00:08:32.480 Yeah.
00:08:33.180 As I've been saying, Donald Trump's not on the ballot in 26.
00:08:39.900 He's not on the ballot in 28.
00:08:41.440 I said that last week.
00:08:42.900 Why try to drag Muhammad Ali in the ring when you got Chuck Wepner standing right in front of you?
00:08:49.760 And Webner's a bleeder.
00:08:52.560 He's a bleeder.
00:08:53.780 You want him.
00:08:54.780 So why are you going, I'm going after Donald?
00:08:57.460 No, you're not running against Donald Trump.
00:09:01.880 Go after Tweedledee or Tweedledum.
00:09:05.660 You know, Chuck Wepner, a bleeder.
00:09:07.620 Go after him.
00:09:09.500 I respect Chuck Wepner.
00:09:10.720 Yeah, I'll do respect, of course.
00:09:11.940 He kind of held in there long with Rocky, many people say.
00:09:16.620 Isn't it?
00:09:17.780 Rob, who are the two people that are behind his Instagram and social media push?
00:09:23.820 Where are those people at?
00:09:25.260 Do you know where they're at, Rob?
00:09:26.980 You guys have to see it.
00:09:27.980 And again, I have a feeling one of them has dark glasses.
00:09:31.200 Let's see.
00:09:31.940 Let's see.
00:09:32.600 Come on.
00:09:33.420 Come on.
00:09:34.120 It's two younger looking people that are behind.
00:09:37.260 It's all good, Rob.
00:09:38.200 Can we play the clip pack?
00:09:39.460 I want to go in on Gavin a little bit.
00:09:41.340 Can you show the clip of him saying what he wants them to start doing to Republicans,
00:09:46.720 which I think is a call to action.
00:09:49.320 And if he wants to play that game, he says, punch him in the...
00:09:52.500 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:53.040 Play that clip.
00:09:54.260 Guys, and again, I want everybody out there, remember, when they hit us low, we go high.
00:10:01.500 All that BS that you heard from all these fake-ass Democrats, okay?
00:10:05.600 They're the party of violence.
00:10:07.420 Don't forget that, okay?
00:10:08.860 These are the people, and this is a call to action.
00:10:10.940 Because those two people, and Rob's going to find who they are, this is the type of attitude
00:10:14.760 that they're telling Democrats to have.
00:10:16.720 Rob, go ahead.
00:10:17.080 Yeah.
00:10:17.260 Oh, by the way.
00:10:17.880 Oh, weird.
00:10:18.680 They both have the glasses.
00:10:20.400 Get out of here.
00:10:20.900 These are the two people that are in charge of his social media.
00:10:23.600 These are the guys and the girl.
00:10:25.380 They always have dark glasses.
00:10:26.980 I'm on to something.
00:10:28.160 Rob, play the clip with him.
00:10:29.220 I don't care about their looks.
00:10:32.160 Their work is what is terrible.
00:10:33.460 Yeah, well, the glasses that tell...
00:10:34.600 Go ahead, Rob.
00:10:34.920 This is radical rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging of an election, destroying,
00:10:45.740 vandalizing this democracy.
00:10:47.960 It's not a democracy.
00:10:48.680 The rule of law.
00:10:49.740 So I'm sorry.
00:10:51.140 I know some people's sensibilities.
00:10:53.120 I respect and appreciate that.
00:10:55.200 But right now, with all due respect, we're walking down a damn different path.
00:11:00.640 We're fighting fire with fire.
00:11:02.740 And we're going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
00:11:04.680 Okay.
00:11:05.080 You know, you can't say that we're in that shirt in that studio.
00:11:09.140 I mean, you just don't look...
00:11:10.940 Wait, Rob, play that back again.
00:11:12.080 That does not look like a guy that's going to come down there and pop somebody.
00:11:15.040 No, fast forward a little bit more to when he starts saying punch.
00:11:17.900 Yeah, go right there.
00:11:18.860 Thank you.
00:11:19.400 Appreciate that.
00:11:20.720 But right now, with all due respect, we're walking down a damn different path.
00:11:25.200 We're fighting fire with fire.
00:11:27.740 And we're going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
00:11:29.960 Oh, amen to that.
00:11:30.900 We're going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
00:11:33.120 Like, if that's not a call to action, meaning we're going to fight,
00:11:39.420 like we're going to get violent.
00:11:41.060 Can I just break it down really fast?
00:11:42.380 He said, this is a radical rigging of a midterm.
00:11:45.380 Says the guy who's made it illegal to ask for identification to vote in his godforsaken state.
00:11:51.580 Okay, and he said, destroying, vandalizing this democracy.
00:11:54.340 We live in a constitutional republic.
00:11:56.240 I'm breaking down everything.
00:11:57.060 He's full of shit.
00:11:57.880 Sorry for my language.
00:11:58.920 And the rule of law.
00:11:59.940 He's talking about the rule of law.
00:12:01.040 Again, Democrats are the going against everybody with law, using lawfare.
00:12:05.700 And then he said, fighting fire with fire.
00:12:07.940 Saying the guy that his state can't fight fire with water because there isn't any.
00:12:12.620 Okay, this guy is an absolute joke.
00:12:14.060 And I just hope, like, because he has a backing, obviously.
00:12:16.440 People are going to vote for this guy.
00:12:18.160 Californians, wake up.
00:12:19.880 Do you see what this guy is?
00:12:21.540 If you can't see that he is a slithering freaking snake.
00:12:25.180 Number one in homeless.
00:12:26.760 Number one in unemployment.
00:12:28.280 Okay, when the fires are raging, nobody's to be found.
00:12:31.780 And then they're buying up all the land.
00:12:33.000 The people in the Palisades can't even buy their freaking land or build houses there.
00:12:37.720 I hope you guys wake up.
00:12:39.000 Maybe it's time for a change.
00:12:41.340 Larry Elder had a chance.
00:12:42.460 You guys had a chance to recall this guy.
00:12:44.540 And you did it.
00:12:45.540 It's Stockholm Syndrome, Pat.
00:12:47.180 It has to be.
00:12:47.920 You guys love abuse.
00:12:49.740 You love the high taxes.
00:12:50.760 You like the crime.
00:12:51.820 Keep doing it.
00:12:52.920 Keep doing it.
00:12:53.600 Unless you want a change.
00:12:54.560 And I'm tired of all these people calling me and complaining about California.
00:12:58.060 What am I doing?
00:12:58.980 What the hell am I doing?
00:12:59.900 It's your fault.
00:13:01.060 You guys keep voting for this shit because the other side's Hitler.
00:13:04.720 The other side's bad.
00:13:05.960 No, you guys need to wake up, man.
00:13:07.400 And I get it.
00:13:07.900 People, my whole family lives there.
00:13:09.780 My whole family lives there.
00:13:10.620 But unless you guys make radical change, it ain't going to happen.
00:13:13.640 Amen.
00:13:14.040 Well, I don't think Gavin Newsom could run again for governor of California, correct?
00:13:19.420 No, he's going for president.
00:13:20.340 He's 2026.
00:13:21.240 I think he's done.
00:13:21.780 I mean, he's just, at the same time, he's trying to basically play to his base in California
00:13:27.300 that basically will do anything other than appease Donald Trump.
00:13:31.060 We know that about Newsom.
00:13:32.040 But don't be surprised when he runs for president and he tries to do what he did in San Francisco
00:13:37.260 and just clean it all up when she and the Communist Party, and he's going to put lipstick on
00:13:41.780 a pig and he's going to try to pretend that he's doing a great job and he's going to try
00:13:45.520 to just clean it all up.
00:13:46.620 And we know what Gavin Newsom is.
00:13:48.900 He's a complete actor.
00:13:50.280 He's a complete chameleon.
00:13:51.240 And he's the best politician in the United States.
00:13:54.660 If you want to know what an amazing politician, what a disgusting human looks like, look no further
00:14:00.160 than Gavin Newsom.
00:14:01.340 He'll flip-flop.
00:14:03.180 He'll change.
00:14:04.180 He'll act.
00:14:05.200 He'll put on a tough guy act.
00:14:06.800 He'll be LGBT friendly.
00:14:08.660 He'll protect families all in one sentence.
00:14:11.420 You know, California, good luck to you.
00:14:14.520 Bless your heart.
00:14:15.500 Yeah.
00:14:15.760 Well, we'll see.
00:14:17.200 We'll see what's going to happen here as we're going through the next phase.
00:14:21.060 November 4th is when the vote is.
00:14:22.740 There's a lot of stuff going on on November 4th.
00:14:24.460 You know what else is going on November 4th?
00:14:25.860 Mamdani, New York, mayor.
00:14:28.220 Saw a clip the other day of him crying, of saying the amount of death threats he's getting
00:14:31.900 for being Muslim.
00:14:33.160 And I'm just seeing this guy, watching what this guy is doing, slowly but surely, slowly
00:14:37.420 but surely.
00:14:38.760 He is winning the naive voters over.
00:14:42.960 And you're going to see suddenly him showing up and becoming who a lot of people didn't think
00:14:50.040 that an outsider could win there.
00:14:51.600 But it looks like he's going to be doing that.
