FULL Charlie Kirk + Gavin Newsom VIRAL Interview

Okay everybody, you've been asking for the entire conversation with Gavin Newsom and myself. I'm going to be giving commentary throughout this conversation about some of my thoughts, but it is the entire thing that you'll be able to watch. Also, the full, unedited, let's just say with no commentary, is on Gavin Newsom's YouTube page. But I think you want to stay right here. Make sure you guys hit subscribe on this extremely viral conversation that I had with Gavin Newsom. It starts out with Gavin Newsom talking about how his son is a big fan of mine, history of Turning Point USA, history of what we've done at Turning Point USA, and our goals and mission. By the way, anyone out there, you guys should get involved with Turning Point USA. You should start a Turning Point USA chapter. You should get involved with Turning Point Action. We are moving the dial. We are bringing this generation to the finish line to be a conservative generation. So here it is, the beginning of my chat with Governor Gavin Newsom. By the way, what brings you to California, your favorite state? It is my... Oh, this thing's fallen. Um, it is my, my favorite state in the Union. You're doing such a great job here, by the way. Um, no, I'm honored to be on the show. Thank you. And, uh, you were just down at USC. I was at USC yesterday, drew a big crowd, by the way. I knew you at USC early because my, my niece, who's a graduate, she was the one with the MAGA hat on. She was... By the way, I do have to watch, but she was down there and she was like, she said, you never know, these kids are going to the right. I'm, I'm aware. She said, this crowd's crazy. I said, she, and she, and the only reason she said she would have said it perhaps otherwise, but she knew you were coming on. The worst part though, Charlie, no BS, true story. Literally last night, trying to put my son to bed. He's like, no, Dad, I just... What time? What time is Charlie going to be here? What time? And I'm like, dude, you're in school tomorrow. He's 13. He's like, no, no. This morning, wakes up at 6 something. He's like, I'm coming. I'm like, he literally would not leave the house. Did you let him to take off school? No, he did, of course not. He's not here for a good reason. But the point is, you cancel school for like two years. Once one... The point is the point, which is you are making a damn... Thank you. I'm kidding. I'm no, but I know. And I, but I appreciate that. I mean, it's the reason you're here because I think people need to understand your success, your influence, what you've been up to, and the fact that you're on these college campus tours. And to your point, man, you just open up. I mean, you're like, ask me anything, anything, challenge me, challenge me, whatever. When did this, when did this whole thing, when did you start putting this together? We, uh, I've been at this for 13 years, and it's been a wild movement, really accelerated once President Trump kind of came on the scene. Um, right around, I'd say 2021, we had a goal. Could we move the youth vote 10 points over 10 years? And we... It was, it literally, you sat down and put that numerical together? Yeah, like, can we move it 10 points over 10 years? Is, you know, approximate because our whole hypothesis was, and we, you know, we did this alongside President Trump and his great team, was that this demographic is disproportionately to the Democrat side. We believe Democrats were taking them for granted. We think that your side had no message whatsoever and an ideological monopoly. We, we saw some of the fault lines there. And to President Trump's credit, he also harmonized with the strategy by going on podcasting and using TikTok. But yeah, I mean, we did it in four years, not 10. Large in part thanks to you guys. And we, we'll get to that. And I, and sincerely, get to that because I want, you know, I want to stress test some of those fault lines as it relates to the reality of our party and where we are today, visa your ascendancy, not just individually as an organization, but where was that sort of moment for you? Because it's interesting. I mean, you're such a young guy, so it's not a deep biography. It's not like 20 years in the wilderness, writing his first book, getting a TV show that was canceled, coming back. It's more just this immediacy of ascendancy. Was it, I mean, were you, you sort of born and bred with an ideological mindset, or were you more open-minded and you started to realize a lot of BS was out there? Yeah, I've always been conservative. Um, obviously grown in that over the last, you know, 10ish years. Was more libertarian, I'd say, in the first couple of years, as to be expected. As I got married and have kids, become more conservative. But no, look, just one of the things we saw in the last couple of years that the Democrats completely ignored, and your side was basically not acknowledging was happening, was the crisis that young people were experiencing, right? That, I mean, just one, it's the first time in America's history that a 30-year-old is going to have it worse off than their parents. It's a breakdown of the social compact, right? They are the most alcohol addicted, most drug addicted, most suicidal, most depressed, most medicated generation in history. And the message that was largely being fed to a lot of young people was, lower your expectations, you're not going to have the same American dream that, that your parents would have. And we saw this as an opportunity, especially with young men. And again, this got ridiculed a lot by the press that, oh, you know, they're creating this manosphere thing. Look, they're half of the population and necessary for any society and civilization to succeed, which is to have both strong men and strong women. And we went about that in a very, um, unique and creative way. And again, the, the president became a cultural phenomenon where no matter what you threw at this guy, he, he rose above it. You would even have to give him credit. I mean, B... 700 years in federal prison. Yeah. You know, states tried to kick him off the ballot. I know you spoke out against it. But California did have a faction that tried to kick him off the ballot, right? Right. And despite all of that, of course, being shot, and that was kind of the crescendo of all of it, he kind of became this figure of an American comeback story. So he personified what a lot of young people, especially young men, wanted back in their politics, an ASC rebel attitude againsts that have failed. Visa, it's interesting. So what you keep saying, we, which is interesting, and that's the organization that you created, Turning... We would be like, conservative movement, MAGA. But yes, I have Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action, Charlie Kirk Show. Yeah. But when I'm saying we, I mean more specifically, kind of those of us that saw this political moment three or four years ago, right? But, but you were at this even before then, I mean, correct? So when did you, when did you decide, sort of, just shift your gear? I mean, you were working for another Kirk, for his campaign, not Mark Kirk. So you had a political, obviously had strong political leanings, or at least desire to sort of be in the political sphere, but not in elected office necessarily. You just want to be behind the scenes. Yeah, I mean, like, the biography has been written about a million times, but I mean, didn't, didn't go to college. Wanted to go to West Point, didn't get in. I'm an entrepreneur. Yeah. Love it. Started this organization, and it became far more successful than I ever could have realized. Um, and put something there. The, the, um, kind of as we started to grow the organization, I, I recognized that there was a, a ideological imbalance on a lot of these college campuses, and we wanted to go about trying to offer a counterpoint of, I know, conservative, you know, pro-freedom, pro-liberty, you know, America for. And you saw the college campuses as sort of the underbelly of the opportunity, or, or, or is it just more just experiential in terms of your own sort of animus towards? I mean, I mean, you have a sitting population of about 20 million kids that are there for four years. There's that, and also again, the, you had nowhere to go but up. I mean, 70, when we started in 2012, 75% of kids on college campuses would vote for Democrats. Yeah. Now, fast forward to today, this last election cycle, Democrats lost the youth vote in Michigan, nearly lost in Wisconsin, nearly lost in Arizona. So our goal was, hey, let's move it 10 points. We moved it 13 points. And this is important for your audience to know, and for Democrats to reckon with, of which I see no signs that Democrats care at all, that they're losing the next generation. We're drawing record crowds, our ranks are expanding. The most support that President Trump has is voters under 30. 60% of voters under 30 support President Trump, it's according to Rasmussen. You might say that's a little rich, it might be, but it's directionally true. Yeah. And, and one of the main reasons that this has all been happening is that baby boomers have actually seen their wealth increased the last four years. They don't buy into this whole idea that our institutions are broken or that they're in need of massive bottom-up revolutionary change. And we see that actually Harris did three points better with Baby Boomers than she did in 2020. And the number one story that, you know, James Carville, who everyone takes seriously for some reason, should have been saying is like, all Kamala Harris had to do was just do the same with younger voters that Joe Biden did in 2020, and she would be president right now. And remind us what Joe Biden did in 2020. 13 points better, approx. Terms of, this is kind of a combination of exit polling, so it's really, it's a difficult science to pinpoint. So that goes back then, I mean, to your point, in order to do that, you've got to stand for something, you got to assert yourself, you got to have a strategy, and you got to implement it. I mean, you also have to not believe crazy stuff and not believe crazy. I mean, and so for you, I mean, it's interesting, just, you know, this last week, I guess you were USC, you were at University of Florida, you had thousands and thousands of folks. You get to your point, your crowds are growing. 2012, where you were coming in, and people were, I mean, you, you were take, I mean, you were like, getting threats. I mean, you still get tons of threats, y', but it was, I mean, what was it like just to paint a picture of you walking a college campus? I had no money, no connections, and no idea what I was doing. And, uh, yeah, I mean, we were, I didn't even have a social media account. I mean, it was just the ultimate startup. And when did you just say, I'm available, and you started at this sort of debate? It was, it was even more scrappy. I would literally show up to W. Madison with a card table and a big cardboard sign saying, debate me. You know, like, here's some provocative. 20-something years. I, I wouldn't even film it. I was, I was 18 or 19. 18 or 19. And what? And so you just, what? By the way, where do that? And sincerely, to be able to debate anybody at any time, anywhere, and in that environment, it's just, just, I mean, just you can, you can say it's just confidence, or it's just absolute, I mean, narcissism. What is it? I mean, just, or, or just, I don't, I hope it's not the other. But no, I mean, I guess it would just be, I mean, at the most charitable reading, it could be confidence. It also could just be that I, I wanted to try and challenge the predominant view. I always loved debate and disagreement. I love the kind of spar. And yeah, I also find it to be exciting. And I wanted to try to, you know, figure out where my idea is actually that good and to kind of draw stress test. And were you 10x better than you were in 2012 at the format? Probably. Probably. And do you study it, or you just participate? I mean, what, you look at the old great debates, or you're reading debating books, you're watching s of the best? Yeah. And I mean, less about debating. I mean, debating is a practice that can really only be refined, you know, with lots of routine and and reps and repetition. Just more about studying, you know, the great books, philosophy, right? All those. And so you, and you make a point prior of that. I mean, you, to the point, you never, you know, went to community college. And hey, I didn't even graduate community college. And you didn't even, which is great, by the way. I was going to college in Marin. I got lucky. Got a baseball coach that called me and allowed me to get to a four-year university. I was joking with you before we started. 960. Sat. I asked you about your SAT. You said, what the hell is... Took the ACT. Took the ACT. Which proves two things. How young you are. Okay. So the conversation continued about college. I wrote an entire book called The College Scam. And I should have emphasized even more about how the UC system, which Governor Newsom oversees, is a complete failure. Didn't quite have time to do that. But looking back, hindsight is 2020. I should have interjected and talked about how broken the UC system is, how much indoctrination is happening in the UC system. Also, Lomez, who came on our program, great guy, educated me about AB 11, about how kids are required to learn DEI and critical race theory in California schools. I did a lot of research and prep in anticipation for this conversation. I was unaware of that. So I probably should have interjected that college tuition has skyrocketed dramatically, and the Democrats and Gavin Newsom have done nothing to lower the cost of college, nothing to increase career preparedness. In fact, more and more kids are not even learning basic American history, basic civics, or basic world history. We also talk a little bit more in this segment about my political history and some of my political leanings. Continues. You were in, you grew up in Illinois. I grew up in Illinois. Which Midwest was traditionally more of an act. But this has been a point of pride for you that you, you didn't do a four-year degree. And you, because I represent most of the country, is that actually still the majority of the country does not have a college degree? And if I may, you know, bluntly critique the Democrat Party, you guys have become so college credentialed and educated that you guys snobbishly look down on the muscular class of this country, the people that kept things afloat and running during COVID. And yeah, I mean, the majority of the country didn't go to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Caltech, or Cal Berkeley, right? And the Republican party has become far more representative of them, large in part thanks to Trump. But yeah, and look, I, I say it with some pride also because as an entrepreneur, I tried to build something, right? Not just seek a credential. Love that. And what? And there, what, 11 million folks there? 11 million jobs out there. You make this point all the time. Oh, yeah, open jobs that don't require college degree. Do not require college degree. So when you say, and it's interesting, because there's sort of that critique of the Democratic party that we are captured by this sort of college elite. In what respect? I mean, stress test that for a second. I, I allow me to. What specifically are you referencing in that context? Your voters, your voters have become nearly, I mean, unan at the higher you go up the education ladder, the higher the correlation it is that you vote for the Democrat Party. It's almost a one to one with PhD. It's like 75% for master's degrees, and it's 65% for. Why? Why do you think that's the case? What are the issues that sort of are identified line that the sloppy analysis is like, oh, they're smarter, therefore they must be Democrats. And I think that's silly and insane, but and insulting. I, I totally agree. The, the more, the deeper and more profound analysis is that a lot of ideological bubbles that exist on these college campuses, they are homogeneous, not heterodox, when it comes to what ideas are expressed. Um, and then secondly, the, the value system that you leave on college campuses is high trust of institutions. So the biggest divide in America is not right versus left. It's whether or not you generally trust institutions or you don't trust institutions. And this has been largely inverted the last 20 years, right? So back in the early 2000s, Democrats were low trust of institutions, Iraq war, anti-Bush, anti-NSA, anti-Patriot Act. And that's when you guys had a lot of activist spark and energy. That has been completely inverted. So the right is now low trust of institutions, where the left is high trust of institutions. We're the ones that challenge the COVID vaccine. We're the ones that think that public health authorities might have lied to us during COVID. We're the ones that don't necessarily believe the government when it says that we should keep on sending money to Ukraine. Again, that's an, that's a general rule, there's some exceptions to that. But when you go to college, you are trained to trust the experts, trust the scientists, trust the people that are leaders of authority. And the Democrat Party is largely the gatekeepers of that kind of ideological intellectual regime. It's interesting. And so from your perspective, I mean, as you advocate for people to sort of open up a worldview that is life without a four-year degree, uh, and all the opportunities, uh, that present themselves, a new in that respect, are you arguing for the, the, the disestablishment, the end of higher education? It's going to happen, no matter what. I mean, in 10 years, artificial intelligence is going to change everything. Yeah. And I don't know what these four-year degrees are actually doing to prepare these kids for that. But no, as far as like, I'm not, I mean, my advocating for the end of the pursuit of learning, of course not. That's one of my big critiques, right? Is that at a lot of these schools, they're not pursuing what is good, true, and beautiful. It's become the oppression Olympics and a weaponized complaint seminar of people sitting in the circle and finding out who's the, who's been offended the most that day. That's not doing anybody any good. And, and in fact, it creates a very weak political movement, which I think plays into one of the reasons why we were able to steamroll you guys back in November, is that once there's a little opposition against a group of people that have never actually been, you know, had to build the muscle mass of a very difficult and, um, unpredictable world, whereas those of us that are conservatives, we're insulted all the time. So think about the experience of a kid on a college campus. They say they're graded differently because of their views. They may or may not be right. I think they are, but they're definitely in the ideological minority. You wear a Trump hat on on college campus, at least until we came around, that was like a big sign of cultural rebellion. So you have two choices. You can either stop fighting for what you believe in, or you become really tough. Yeah. And you, you create that, that muscle that allows you to then carry and shoulder a heavier burden, right? And so, just, and I don't want to BL the the issues of the establishment plot called higher education is some have not you referred to it though, maybe you align yourself. I wrote a whole book called The College Scam. College. So it's sort of in, sort of stress testing that in the context of some would argue the contra argument is, you know, million dollars more in lifetime earnings, more likely to get married, less likely to get divorced, more likely to be civically engaged, and longer life, uh, spans with college degrees. And you would say, all of those is true. It's just, let's not, everyone that goes to college graduates. The national graduation drop. 41% dropout. Exactly right. Also, half the kids that graduate college will not even end up using their degree when it comes to the affiliated job. So the numbers are true at the highest income. So about 10% of kids that go to college stretch out the averages to be really, really high. And so, for example, you go to Cal Tech to study Computer Engineering and applied AI, you're crushing it. Right? You go to Cal to go study North African lesbian poetry. Yeah. Like, is that an actual degree? There, you tell me, Governor. I don't know. I mean, we f it, but I'm not sure that's one of. Fact, you don't know? Well, I don't know every single damn course. The largest, but it's a, if the fact, it's a, maybe we got some problems. Well, the fact, you know, a lot of people have explored different disciplines. Like, I don't, that's fine. It's just the taxpayers shouldn't have to fund it. Well, yeah, I mean, increasingly the individuals are funding. As you know, it relates to the talk about the inversion of how we fund education. Um, look, I, and by the way, just FYI, having just put together a career master plan, we had a master plan in the state of California that created the UC systems, the CSUS, and the community college system half a century ago. We've applied the same discipline to a career master plan in the state of California. And so I'm completely aligned with you in terms of a focus and energy there, and looking at pre-apprenticeships, looking, uh, not even apprenticeships in the traditional sense, but valuing and highlighting and signaling the value of of a life without a degree, etc. So I'm, I'm not as far off on this as you are. That said, I've just, I've got to admire what you've been able to do, not to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses, a different point of view. And again, let's talk about some of that. When you go to these college campuses, I love watching your TikTok, which is next level. Clearly that's expressed by my 13-year-old son. I want to meet this guy. I, I actually, he's coming to a Turning Point event this summer, Tampa, Florida, Student Action Summit. I actually, cons... By the way, if you did, you should be concerned. But so let me say, here, here is why I'm concerned because you have expressed that I should be concerned as a Democrat that we're getting... Oh, we're getting clobbered. Yes, that you've figured something out. It's not me. The president first deserves the credit. But why? No, no, hold on. You were at this before Trump was Trump. He was a Democrat back in 2011. The president deserves huge credit. And I just have to say that as an obligatory thing because without him, our movement would be small. And, and you can appreciate that in politics, you have to appreciate the person who is the cat for you. For you, that's what you sort of attached an identi... It was also just the catalyst. It was a cultural moment that just opened us up. But, but wait, but go back just on that, because I'm curious, in 2012, 13, 14, who were you identifying with from the movement perspective? I was more like, as I mentioned, Ron Paul. Paul, libertarian. That's where the energy really was, right? And then President Trump comes on. Again, I was still very early in my political journey. So you're looking up a lot, you know, who's the top voices, what do you believe, why do you believe it? Yeah. So more libertarian. Friend was more, and I still have some libertarian leanings on some. And when Trump came down that escalator, you're like, boom. Not day one. No, I was, I was mystified at first. Why? Just saying this guy's, there's no chance. No, I, it's funny. I actually sent out a tweet very like 2011, when I was in high school, saying, should run for office. But I was not mystified negatively. I was like, can this really happen? Can a guy that has no political experience come down an escalator, challenge the whole establishment, right? But you didn't expect Donald Trump to come down the escalator and start talking about illegal aliens or, you know, rap. Was it, I, being, and again, this is well-documented, early in my journey, I underestimated the silent majority that really wanted a rebalancing of the American political landscape. So interesting. So now, then Gavin Newsom asks me about the impact that Turning Point Action made this last election cycle. I bragged on it a little bit, but just to reiterate, Turning Point Action, we had over a thousand people on the ground in Arizona, Wisconsin, chasing ballots. We were registering voters. In fact, a pollster from Signal Polling showed that when we visited college campuses, students moved dramatically more in President Trump's direction versus campuses we did not. So we have two arms. We have Turning Point USA, which is our high school and our college chapter beast, also Turning Point Academy, TUSA Faith, Blexit, all the great work that we do on digital social media, and you guys should get involved with Turning Point USA. And then Turning Point Action, our 501(c)(4) organization, all about how we are recruiting candidates, trying to make the Republican Party more conservative and more Republican, how we are chasing ballots. That is TP Action.com. And they kind of harmonize together towards an overarching view to save Western Civilization. Now, is Governor Newsom being authentic here? I don't think so. I think that he was just trying to bring the the temperature of the conversation down. I always try to meet a guest at their frequency, at the same time, it's you have to challenge that guest. You have to challenge them on what they believe and why they believe it. So this is a little bit of a conversation about how we dominated this last election cycle and what President Trump was able to do. I believe that Turning Point Action was one of the most important outside groups. The ballots we chased, the ground game. And by the way, the media was always like, oh, Charlie Kirk is going to ruin the ground game for the right. Turns out it wasn't ruined. Turns out that we were more successful than ever before. Watch. So Trump then became the catalyst. And so Turning Point became sort of next level. Your events start growing. You organize around that. Turning Point Action becomes what, the political arm? So one is more educational, one is more political. And we did ballot chasing, um, in Arizona and Wisconsin. We were successful in that, uh, alongside the Trump campaign. Arizona was the best performing swing state. And you're not modeling yourself off anything because the flatness of the surrounding terrain, meaning where the Democrats are looking at other organizing. We were modeling off of some of the ballot chasing, ballot harvesting practices of the left. Yeah. Um, but I mean, there's again, that's a, that's a self-limiting principle. You, you can't ballot chase if no one wants to vote for you. That's right. So, I mean, you could have the best organizers in the world, and you have 2,000 people chasing ballots in Arizona, and you're running Kamala Harris in Arizona. What you actually, what we ended up tracking through our data is that the Democrats were chasing for us. Is that they were chasing low propensity Hispanics thinking that they were all for Kamala. And in fact, we were looking at the precinct numbers of areas we didn't hit that moved like 20 points in Trump's direction. Like, well, thank you very much, Kamala campaign, for getting out and chasing our ballots. And, you know, for all these these Hispanic men that are mechanics, we appreciate it. Thanks for making sure that we also won Dave McCormick's Senate seat. Right. Right. So, so again, chasing is only one part of the, like, Democrats, of course, are better organizers than us. I mean, it's in your blood. Barack Obama was a community organizer. We make fun of it. It's who you guys are. You guys have labor as a backbone, clipboard and tennis shoes. However, labor less and less. We can talk about that for sure in a moment. Yeah. But what, what we always felt that we had is we felt we had better ideas and a better message. And all that the idea was, can we combo a little bit of organizing practices with a mass movement, which is how you get a national popular vote victory and a, a overwhelming electoral land. And so what do you see? Just, I mean, I, I sort of talked about the flatness of the surrounding terrain, meaning the Democratic party's party in, in some respect. As it relates to, I appreciate your point about organizing, but also coercion versus, you know, sort of forcing people to vote versus an enthusiasm and a desire to actually proactively get. Eventually, that has a backfiring effect too. I, I totally appreciate that. And so what, what do you see right now? I mean, you know, we, you, I think you talked about it the other day, a lot of folks were talking about that Carville article where he talk, roll over and play dead, roll over, in essence, he said a strategic retreat. That we need to come back. Trump's starting to, as numbers are getting soft, this was even before the tariff issues, etc. And then come back and strike hot. And I, I immediately, nobody has thought about you, who's just 24/7 flooding the zone, back to my 13-year-old, owning this space every day, getting a convert every day, picking up one, two, 10,000 folks, continuing the momentum coming out of this damn election. And then I'm thinking about, we're going to stand back and watch you run circles around us for six months. The next two or three years, waiting for the moment to finally strike. Strike struck me as not necessarily the best advice. And it's not a knock on Carville, who I have deep respect for. What's your thought? That's okay. So I don't have to. He was, he's right about one thing. In the last 40 years, it's EC Kingdom be stupid. And boy, he spent, he spent down that one line pretty amazingly. Um, but yeah, look, I'll say, I don't want to make this about Carville, but like, yeah, I hope you guys retreat. You like, more for us. I mean, there's no opposition. There's no activist spark. If, like, you guys are posting these cringe videos on social media. What are the videos? What are the ones? I, this like harmonious thing of like, 22 senators all saying the same thing. Like that. Yeah, I didn't like it. Go ahead, do more that. What do you do? But what do you do? Seriously, Charlie Kirk, give us some advice. Get better ideas. Governor, like, for example, I mean, like, if you want to, like, you have an opportunity to, like, you know, run to the middle and seize this mantel. Obviously, you're talking to me, so Governor Newsom then asks my for the Democrat Party, what you are about to see is the most viral part of our entire conversation. It's Governor Newsom that has pivoted away from the consensus on the Democrat Party on a major issue. It is an 80/20 issue against the Democrats, and it's a major debate. We believe we are on the right side of this debate, obviously, and Governor Newsom is receiving huge backlash for this very tape. And I politely but very firmly pushed Governor Newsom on why he would not speak out on this critically, I believe, civilization-defining issue. Here it is, the most viral element of this entire discussion. Watch. It's like, you right now should come out and be like, you know what? The young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that's, that shouldn't happen. You, as the governor, should step out and say, no, no. And I appreciate, and but like, would you do something like that? Would you say, no men in female sports? Well, it's, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness. It's deeply unfair. Would you speak out against this young man, AB Hernandez, who right now is going to win the state championship in the long jump? I can see you wrestling with it. No, I'm not wrestling. I'm not wrestling with the, the fairness issue. I totally agree with you. By the way, as someone with four kids, you, I think two daughters, right? Two daughters, daughter too, and a wife that went, God forbid, to Stanford and played, uh, on the junior national soccer team. And a guy who got into college only because, uh, I was left-handed, uh, and could throw baseball a little bit, or hit the, hit the ball for a little bit. Um, so I revere sports. And so the issue of fairness is completely legit. And I, I saw that the last couple years, boy, did I see how you guys were able to weaponize that issue at another level. Not weaponize, don't, that's, that's weaponize, may be pejorative. You're right, but you're able to shine a light on, highlight it in a way that frankly, I, there are not that many. We're talking about, I think NCAA, what, 510,000? No, no, but I just didn't realize it's 890 medals and trophies that we know of in the last five years. That's a lot. No. So I'm gonna, let me step back, say, completely fair on the issue of, of fairness. I completely agree. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and grace, you know, that that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand. How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think, you know, is inherent in you, uh, but not always expressed on the issue, get at the same time, deal with the unfairness? You're, as you asked, good faith question, like, how do we Democrats get out of the wilderness? This one is an 80/20 issue. New York Times poll, right? That's not crushed on. And like, crushed. And you have an opportunity in the state to be like, look, I have a heart for AB Hernandez. I have a heart for the San Jose volleyball player. Let's give them compassion, but it's not fair. It's just for, like, a woman's entire woman's sports. I agree. You know, by the way, I agree with you. I agree with you. And it's interesting, I stress tested this. True. I was wondering, I said, you know, in California, and I've been a leader in the LGBTQ space, as you know, back in 2004, was marrying same-sex couples. And as you know, we have difference opinion on on on marriage equality. Um, and so I've been at this for years and years. I take a backseat to no one. But I was actually on the issue of sports, which in the last few years has just exploded, um, trying to understand and understand the 10 athletes in the NCAA, 510,000 athletes, but 10 athletes. And what, but how profound. And even my own friend cohort, people saying, the hell is going on? Why aren't you calling this out? When did this happen? So in 2000, turns out in 2014, before I was governor, there was a law established that established the legal principles that allow the allow trans athletes in women's sports. Um, but the issue of fairness is completely legit. So I completely align with you. And we've got to own that. We've got to acknowledge it. I don't say that through the prism of politics because you disagree with same-sex marriage on principle. Um, and so I'm not, and, and by the way, I value the fact that you're not trying to walk away from that principle because electorally, that's kind of, I'm in the minority. Yeah. Minority. And I don't want to walk away from this principle because it's electoral. But it is an issue of fairness. And I think Democrats, I, I think that the, I wish that we would have done this podcast last week. Last week. Well, because the US Senate just voted. Every Democrat voted against that bill. And I'm just telling you, like, again, not, I'm not one to give Governor Newsom advice. You guys are giving us an 80/20 issue that is just permeating the country. And it's, it's such an affront to our senses. And you look at these videos, Governor, because it's not just that it's okay, read an article about it. But these young men that are, you know, are in these sports, they're throwing around girls. And it is an issue of fairness. But it goes to a broader arch narrative there. You go. Which is important now. And this, I want to hear this, which is this, that, that you, that the Democrats, you guys will tend to view an incident through an oppressor-oppressed lens. It's your training. It comes from college. It comes from. And we as conservatives tend to view things through right or wrong, or just or unjust. And the country is going far more in our direction because with oppressor-oppressed, eventually run out of oppressors and creating thin air. Yeah. And you start trying to say, well, these people must be blamed for all of our problems. Or that's where you get a lot of the, um, let's just say a lot of, for example, there's a Wall Street Journal editorial, like, when will the white men shut up or stop complaining? That does no good for anybody, right? No. So what, what I'm getting at, though, is it's a worldview difference. Right? And so that's why the issue is so much more powerful. Of course, it is. Because but it's also pattern recognition. It's pattern recognition of a Democrat Party that post 2020 decided to go all in. We call it woke. You might call it, you know, justice, or whatever it is. But it's so outside of what we would consider traditional American norms and customs. And again, so a, a Democrat strategist would say, oh, Charlie, you're weaponizing stuff. Not you, but like, that's a typical, typical thing. But the most effective ad of this election cycle, the most effective ad, you know what it is? Yeah. They, and Trump's for you, she's for they/them. And devastating, devastating, devastating, devastating. And she didn't even react to it, which was even more. And let's talk about why it was devastating. Number one, it was the trans issue that was just, you know, monopolizing. And this was, this was even more challenging because there issues of people that are incarcerated and ille and illegal incarcerated individuals getting taxpayer funded, uh, gender reassignment. That is a 90/10, not an 80. And then she's like enthusiastically defending it, being like, I'm all for this. So then the conversation shifted, as you're about to see, all about wokeism. Now, how do you define woke? Woke is calling something racist or unjust until you control it. I probably should have chimed that in there with this chat with Governor Newsom. I actually think I did pretty well here. We're talking about the border crisis, all of the crimes that BLM allegedly committed, also Robin D'Angelo's White Fragility. In California, they are the petri dish of these very ideas. Again, I was able to get some of that into this conversation. I probably have, probably could have done an even better job of listing off one, two, three, four, five examples, but there's only so much you could prep on. We are prepped on homelessness and cost of living and cost of housing. But understand, Gavin Newsom, he is the Anthony Fauci of CRT. He is the person that has been pushing forward CRT and DEI for his entire career through California. And California is the Wuhan Institute of Virology of wokeism, from the UC system, Cal Berkeley, Stanford, it all happens in California, and it's being taught to kids on a daily basis. Watch. And then you had the video that it was a validator. Brutal. Yeah. And so tens of millions, brutal. And then the targeted focus from the from the Trump campaign, next level. And then Charlie comes out on Breakfast Club, is like, this is insane. And they ran it on NFL football. Brilliant. Yes. And so you're trying to reach men. It's not, it's not like it's not a brilliant commercial. It was brutal. It was devast. By the way, we were running around just in the for the what the hell it's worth for you. She was AG at the time. She was addressing the issue of a legal settlement. The courts were intervening on this topic. But she had the video where in the video, uh, she was obviously, uh, expressed support. And so 100%, she was being a cheerleader for a very unpopular thing. It was, it, it was a great ad. And I don't say that lightly. Political an. And I want to make sure it's not just that this was like the Willie Horton of the 2024. It wasn't just like a Lee Atwater brilliance. It's that it, it reflected truth that the voters felt. Yeah. I appreciate that. And that, because voters felt as if their country was slipping away. Yeah. Now you have the Democrats have a choice. You could say to those people, you're racist, you're Nazis, you're fascist, you're terrible. Or you can listen to them. Be like, why is it that a steel worker in Pittsburgh, who's voted Democrat his entire life, yeah, is voting for Trump despite all of you, the stuff that's been thrown at him, yeah, and all the rhetoric that he's thrown at us? In that context, but, but it's, it's a pattern. And the trans thing is just one of those things. But the second element was also what we saw under Joe Biden was, if you came to the southern border from any country, and you spoke the magic words, you could go to any city you're choosing, right? CBP1, border app. And all of a sudden, that steel worker in Pittsburgh's like, why am I paying all these taxes? Get, and I'm getting my, I can't afford beer, I can't afford anything. Mhm. And so I guess my question is to you, what are the Democrats going to do about it? So I, and let me, I'm going to answer that in a second. But let me just, let me, let me pull a few more threads. You said 2020 is when you started to see the Democrats sort of advance this notion of wokeism. It's when the woken, the awakening, the awakening really started. What was it? You know what I'm talking about? No, but so is it, yes, the Latinex stuff. That, by the way, not one person ever in my office has ever used the word Latinex. I'm like, we put that to bed. Where did that even? No more Latin. Everybody. Well, just didn't even know where it came from. I'm like, what, what are people talking about? Was it the pronouns? By the way, once, once you'd think California invented the frame of pronouns. Not, I literally had one meeting where people started going around the table of pronouns. One. There's been a hell of a lot of days between 2020 and today. And one meeting. So it's not like this is, I'm like, what the hell is, why is this the biggest issue? Well, in corporate America, it's everywhere. All right. And college campuses, it must. College. See, that's where you were reside a lot in the college campuses. You got to defund these schools if they're doing the pronouns. Jesus. Okay. And so number, number three, what else? I mean, you started, what, what was also the big wokeism thing? I mean, it, I mean, first of all, it wasn't just, it wasn't just the projection of certain narratives, which we could obviously go through. But it's when policy started to come forward. And what, what kind of policy? Hiring practices. When it was there was, we're not going to H, there was DEI decades ago. Yeah. Was just called, we inclus. But we saw mass adoption. What we saw, and not only that, we saw pledging of billions of dollars of donations to racial justice from the biggest types of corporations imaginable. And that was sort of post-George Floyd. That's what I'm saying. That's one. That's when that's so you, you had a combustible. Was that wrong? I mean, to address the issue of racial in. I mean, there was, there's legitimate issues as it relates to past practices. What was insulting, what was insulting to a lot of people is number one, where's the money going? Because the top premier BLM charity ended up being a racket with Patrice Cullors. Like, where did that $100 million go? So of a sudden, we learn that, and all these pledges of corporate dollars were going to this woman that's like hiring her, like, brother for personal security. And that, like, a lot of, and you would even agree, like, that, no, that that became the poster child. Number, but number two, which I think was most important, was that it was, it, it elevated then this scholarly community that was otherwise fringed, like Robin D'Angelo and other people. And her book, White Fragility, literally the entire premise of.

Her book is that white people need to stop being so fragile about race. You need to sit down and shut up and hear how racist you are. And she was brought on tours to corporations across the country. And by the way, just you understand, this was a phenomenon over months and months. And it didn't quite catch up in time for the 2020 election. I do believe that if you guys would have been a little less insane on crime in the summer of '20, you would have completely clobbered us in November of '20. It was like the, it was the riots that even made 2020 close, right? Right. But then it was the extension of all of the, what we would call woke stuff, right? Defund police. Yeah. I mean, Minneapolis literally had to hold a special vote saying, like, should we still have a police department? Yeah, that's, I mean, it, that's that was lunacy. I, but Governor, I don't, by the way, by the way, you're talking to someone who's never supported the defund was explicit.

So then I asked Governor Nome about the Prop 16 debate and the public school debate. He was on the side of what's called Prop 16 in 2020, which would have had legal racial discrimination. He's like, oh, I got to go look at my notes. No, no, no, no. You know what it is? You know what it was? You pushed this deep, unpopular, anti-white, anti-Asian legal racial discrimination that lost at the polls. And again, AB 101 has critical race theory in the schools of California. We also talk about how the Democrats have become defenders of the corrupt establishment, FBI, EPA, critical race theory. Watch. But hold on one second. You did support Prop 16 in 2020, which would have legalized racial seg, racial prejudice, right? Prop 16 literally would. And it, I have to go back to my prop. I taught 960 sat. So a little humil. You're the governor of the largest state in the country. No, no, no. I saw your debate against DeSantis. You're good at this stuff. You know what I'm talking about. Prop 16 would have had legalized racial prejudice, which would, it got defeated by 16 points despite all the institutions. So you're asking me what wokeism look like when California, when all the institutions, yourself included, with all due respect, embraced this insane ballot measure. Guess what? Even the people of California didn't want. Yeah. Me, a racial. Remember, California since 1996 has had Prop 209. So the affirmative action case came from the Supreme Court as relates to institutions of higher learning. Had no impact on California. So we've actually, it's an interesting. California also codified as a constitutional amendment, uh, marriages between a man and a woman. And and that was in the 2000s. So it, California runs an interesting found. Be illuminating though that despite, I mean, there was really like no opposition. It was like a couple hundred like Asian activists. But I'm just want to say, you asked the question, what did wokeism look like? Prop 16, California, that would have had legalized racial discrimination. That was not a major. There was a broader national. I'm, I'm just bringing it home to you because there were hundreds of such ballot referendums, right? There was, you know, city council meetings where they said, the white people aren't allowed here, right? And that's not good. Good. And so what that ends up hap, what ends up happening is a broader question of sensible, not racist, suburban moms that are like, wait a second, I have an 8-year-old white son. Are you trying to say he's a racist? And it creates a backlash that then bubbles up, right? I appreciate, I appreciate the perspective. And and I appreciate not just the perspective. I totally appreciate what you just said. Ex, as an explicit statement of fact, to make an 8-year-old feel like they're racist is absurd and outrage. But Governor, with all the respect that's happening right now in California public schools. Well, we also, and I'm not trying to drill you on, I'm just being honest. Like, you could say that, but like, maybe you should like convene a special session and say, like, no more, you know, race-based teaching against white people in the schools of California or Asians. I'm just saying though, that like, this is not a conjecture. It's not hypothetical. It, it is embedded into the DNA of the Democrat Party. Yeah. Okay. I, I appreciate. And the whole, how the CRT stuff. Yes. I mean, where I was trying to find it, where is, you think we have CRT and K through 12 education? The principles of it. I mean, of course, critical theory is like a PhD level taught by Derrick Bell and Kimberly Crenshaw. But of the same way that you have advanced physics and the theories of physics in 8th grade. It's like saying that you don't have the. But for example, I mean, it's very simple. But at least that explains why, cuz I'm just, I was trying to find it. We know of over at least 50 schools in California that do things called privilege walks. Do you know what privilege walks are? What are privilege walks? Where they make kids walk ahead based on certain questions and they try to make a point saying, well, see the white people are ahead. They must have white privilege. Okay. I get it. Yeah. No. See. All right. I got to get back to back into the classroom. You got to get. Got 6 million kids. Get 1,500 school districts. The largest. No, but no excuse because these things are important. And by the way, it's the reason we're having this conversation. I, this is very illuminating and helpful to me to understand sort of the animus. What is it about, you know, that anim? I joke with people. I said, what, you know, you guys don't like DEI, CRT, ESG, DOJ, FBI, IRS, ACON? It's all the damn three-letter acronyms. What the hell is the issue? What's going on with all that? You know, I, I can, I, you missed some. Which ones? Which others? What have I missed? EPA, of course. The Employment Prevention Agency. Okay. You're about to get that 65%. That's what. Look, I mean, look, I mean, the, so is it's not just acronyms that we dislike for the record. But, uh, it's, it's what feels like that sometimes. I mean, and now this is the second most viral part of our conversation where Governor Nome thought he had me bringing up book banning. I should have probably said this in the discussion, but saying that the Bible is pornographic is so insulting to faithful Christians across the country. Governor Newsom thinks like, oh, I can get you on book banning. This is how every conservative, every Republican should talk about the banning of books. That every single conservative Republican should talk about how the books that very well might be banned in our schools. What are they exactly? This is how you should stand up for it for decency, for truth, and for our children. Watch. How about the book ban stuff on a serious. Not 4,200, 4,240 books or titles libraries and schools are banned in 2020. Um, is that not as a, as a conservative? Well, it depends. I mean, like, I think we can both agree pornography should not be taught to a 9-year-old. Fair point. So that's a book band. All right. Well, there were some other books that was the Moms for Liberty contention. Time out. Like, I agree with Bill O'Reilly. The Moms for Liberty movement that you made a big thing of was just no porn to 10-year-olds. Yeah. We agree. So those ban should be, those books should be banned. Okay. So what we should do right now is every California school that has porn in their library should be kicked out. Including the Bible. Well, I wouldn't say the Song of Solomon is porn. No, but I mean, some have made that point. Is that a fair point? Or I don't think that's fair. A man of faith, and I deeply admire that about you. Thank you. But no, I mean, again, the Song of Solomon is rather risque. But what we're talking about in these books is not just the words, it's also the images. And again, your audience can look at the images themselves. It's highly graphic. But again, it seems a banning binge. I mean, at next level sort of cancel culture. But why do you think moms are doing that? Do you think it's because they want to have mind control? Or do you think that they have come across incident of incident of highly provocative material? I love moms. But this mom's. I mean, I've, we don't have to get into Moms for Liberty. It seems you brought up the book band. Deeply organized for a larger, uh, agenda. That's my humble opinion. No, but, but for ex, but let me just, you know, kind of complete the point. Is that the, it's easy to just call it kind of a book band. But when you actually have to read some of these books, it will take your breath away of some of the stuff, right? You're like, okay, you know, we're teaching a 10-year-old how to put a condom on. I know. I just have a problem. You know, who the hell is going to decide that? Government. I mean, Duran DeSantis is going to decide what I can read or say. In the, this is the exercise of politics though. The exercise of politics is the highest form of community because it blends morality and sociability. So what we do is we have discussion and elections and we have boards and commissions, right? And we as a people say, okay, no porn for 10-year-olds. Yeah. And that's politics, right? I mean, I'm not saying that there's like some sort of, we got to stress test where the Bible's included in that. I don't even want to go forward anymore on this. No, it's tough. But this is the. Okay. This becomes a dialect. I have heard a lot. I've never heard. That's interesting though. No, I mean, it's a, it's a provocative. I, to again, I deeply don't mean to offend. By the way, father, God would be offended with me. You think the Bible's pornographic? But there's just, there's, there's most of these books are quote unquote not. There's sections that are that can affect of images that are very violent to young kids. Some we would agree on that can. If you want to learn, Governor, and I'm happy that there is a movement of moms that is not, that is growing, where they feel as if our kids are being hypersexualized. And I agree with them that they are being, that they have to hear topics. Social media. Well, both in the social media and the classroom. And then Governor Nome talks all about this assembly bill about the most radical elements in our country when it comes to parental notification and kids' well-being and child's children's well-being. Watch this. You signed a law where school districts can't even tell parents if their kids are trans. Not true. Okay. Then no, they can. They just can't get fired for not doing that. And it wasn't just trans. Fired for not. There was the law was explicit. Said you can't be fired for not snitching on a kid. Not just for being trans, for being gay. And my point is, how in the hell do parents know? They have to tell parents. Snitching? No, the, the teachers themselves have the right. They, the law is they can do that. They can do that. We're not saying you can't do that. We're saying you shouldn't be fired if you choose not to say, Johnny was talking about, you know, liking some other boy. Char. Reading the other way. Me. Freedom. Not. Let me tell you the other way to say this. That a teacher of course should be fired if you don't notify a parent of what's happening to their kid. Of course, they should be terminated for that. Health and safety. They'd be teaching. I want these kids to teach. I want these teachers to teach. And by the way, they feel like the health or safety of the kid, they have a responsibility to communicate. They, they still can. By the way, we're not saying these teachers, they can't. We're saying they won't be fired if they don't look around and say, in the recess, there were two boys. Why didn't you see that? You're fired. You should have said something. Because they're talking about two different things. What you're. But there, of course, should be a penalty measure, whether it be termination or whatever, if a teacher withholds information from a parent. Because what you're saying is that there's no way to hold them accountable. You're saying you're accountable to what though? Accountable to two kids talking about the fact that talking about subject matter. All of a sudden now we have to have teachers policing speech or conversations. Agree. Governor, that is an over extreme example. What we're talking about. No, but, but the extreme example. This was a solution. We're talking about is if, which happens a lot unfortunately, is if a young girl says that, hey, I want to transition, and the teacher accommodates and affirms it, and the parent doesn't even know. I have met parents like that. In the, I heard Trump. And then they come back. And they're. There's so much extreme. I will say, and we don't have to, you know, we don't have to wrestle too much on this topic. But you guys lose on these topics. Not disagree. But, but I'm, I'm one of those guys. And Char, I appreciate. And by the way, appreciate the civility with which we're engaged in this conversation. Sincerely. Um, I don't mind losing sometimes. You lose on principle. It's one of those things. Everything's not political. Is the point. And and sometimes the principles. And by the way, my respect for you. And abortion. And in American people don't agree with me. Exactly. And I, but I admire that on principle. But for me, it's not just political. And I appreciate you making that point. I, I deeply am mindful of the politics of this, which are very unhelpful personally. It's unhelpful, uh, more broadly professionally. The Democratic party in our brand. And one of the reasons, to your point, the Democratic party brand has just been crushed. And so is your self-awareness. Is, um, is helpful to know because it, it is deeply unpopular. And I think that that is, that is an ascendent political force, right? That is not going away. No, I appreciate. But I also appreciate you hold deeply unpopular beliefs. Of course, I do. But I, I, yeah, but you're not running for office. I'm not going to run for president as a moderate. What are you? What are you? What are you running for office? I saw, I saw a poll in Arizona that you were like one or two. You have the highest name ID and a favorability. When are you running? Is that what this is all about? It's definitely. You're not even old enough to be president. You're only 31 years old. You got to be running for. To run against. I'm running for, you know, head of, you know, most popular TikToker. Um, but I'm not running for anything. So then Governor Newsom asked me about running for office. I'm not running for office. Do you guys think I should run for office? You guys should put in the comments of whether or not you guys think I should run for office. I think I'm more effective doing what I'm doing here, reaching millions of people, starting a mass movement, running Turning Point USA. So go in the comments and let me know what you think. Watch. By the way, should we ban TikTok? Are you? No, we should not. I used to say that. And then I started. Why did you change your position? Because or Trump told you to? Well, no, definitely was Trump. I, I sent out a tweet and I'm perfectly honest about this. I think you'd respect this. Is that I was so mad at them because they would ban me all the time. And I sent out a tweet saying, like, hey, if you guys are really for free speech as a creator, like, let's see it. Get a call from TikTok a couple hours later. We're going to show you that we're for free speech. We're going to show you the power of the platform, right? And I saw real changes where our campus interactions went from being banned to now well over two and a half billion views on TikTok. And so I wouldn't say expedient, I'd say impact. And also they now have changed some of their speech codes. They've changed some of their. You can, you, you, hey, enough for your son. Your son finds my content somehow. Look, I use TikTok. I was just out. I wasn't out there trying to champ the ban. I just love this conversion. It's a, it's a hell of a conversion. Yeah. Hey, I, I'm, I'm, I'm open about it. I appreciate. And then French Laundry comes up. There's a major platform difference between Democrats and Republicans. Long form media versus legacy media. Politics is now culture. And we dominate the new media landscape. I do not think Democrats are able to exist in a long form podcasting environment. They can't defend their ideas. As soon as you turn off the teleprompter, they freak out. We are ascendant. Those of us that believe in America, believe in freedom, believe in liberty, believe in borders, want a strong country, want men to be men and women to be women. We are the dominant political force because we could defend our ideas without someone whispering in our ear, giving us prepared notes. And Governor Newsom seemed a little uncomfortable throughout this. So what, just back to the Democratic party. We talk about just, we're not aligned with them. They don't trust us. I think we're have 31 favorability. 57% on favorability. That high, Governor. And by, thank you. 31% favorability is not good enough. So I mean, what, back to, back to just the basics. So you, you talked about wokeism broadly defined. We talked about some specific examples of that. Uh, you, you began on the transport, which is interesting. And I, I respect and appreciate. I want you to speak out against that one, Governor. Appreciate. Well, we just did. With all of you. I mean, and I've been, by the way, I've been saying that. So interesting. Gets picked up. And that maybe goes to the, the question. We live in these filter bubbles. We're talking to ourselves. We're in these sort of, you, it's Newsmax, One American News, Fox. And then it gets into all the stuff that you guys are doing. And everybody else. And meanwhile, I'm, I'm safe over here at MSNBC and CNN, reading the New York Times, feeling really great about things. And having a nice glass of Chardonnay, listening to Rachel Maddow, self-medicating. And just going, yes. At The French Laundry. Of yeah, the French. That's of course the only place I eat. And, uh, you know, great takeout. And the whole thing. I should have been at Applebee's. Applebee's America. I read the book. Come, come on in. Out bur with the. And here's a guy who makes 25 times more money than I do. And sitting here with a, with a jacket. And I'm sitting here with a. And you control the fifth largest economy on the planet. We don't control. The people control the fifth largest economy. And by the way, proud that, you know, it's a 3.9 population. The population last year. Population went up last year because of the illegal border. We'll talk about that later. I got, I got a whole thing. That's just factually. And 290,000 net by 394 National Guard that I put down at the border six years ago. You should be championing that as Governor. California. 394. We have down at the border. We've been focused on Fen. Been working on. Anyway, you're, you're getting somewhere. Compliment. Stay. No, yeah. I was going back to you're talking about your, uh, your whining and dying at French Laundry. Yes. I was talking about the importance of of of never. Uh, well, I, I can't help you with a reservation. I get such a kick out of this whole shtick. I got to be honest. Very nice, by the way. We couldn't have this conversation. With that conversation. Dumbest bonehead move of my life. Okay. Own it. Move on. Grow up. And I'm trying. Is that you talking to yourself? Be talking to myself. I'm just looking. I'm staring, looking right at you in the eyes as I say that. Just to get your reaction. That said, um, we, we are, we're losing. We have this. I feel it's asym, the asymmetry of Donald Trump and Elon Musk sending out tweets. Are you doing social media? And me doing a three-minute hit, um, at 3:00 in the afternoon on on CNN. I mean, how the hell do we compete? We're toast. Well, I mean, I'm part of it. Credit to you for doing long-form podcasting because long-form podcasting does penetrate different audiences, right? And our show does very well. But part of the problem of the Democratic party, that for the health of the country, would be great to change, is that Democrats cannot survive in long-form podcasting environments. It's too unscripted. It's too masculine, honestly. And the Democratic party become masculine about a podc. Honestly, cuz I get the whole manosphere. This bro, go into the wilderness with no rules and duel it out and see who's better or who's stronger. No, seriously. I mean, like, what? No, I mean, we don't do it. You're right. We, for whatever reason, don't do it. You can laugh. But like, who in the Democratic party? We're not. You're right. Will, will go. I mean, maybe Bernie Sanders. But he only when he was a Democrat. Bobby, who's now HS. But like, there's something to be said that if you want to earn the respect of Forgotten America, you have to show them that you can intellectually joust with no script, no hard breaks, no producers in the ears, no teleprompters. That's where new media is going now. I will, I'll only challenge one thing you say. I am reaching new audiences. I'm not talking to my, my bubble because our content is so appealing. It goes in a decentralized way. And it's not just political. No, it's not political. But like, again, our conversation here is going to go far and wide, right? A lot of people are going to see it. A lot of people are going to consume it because it's also politics and entertainment have begun to overlap, right? Right. And the old adage is, well, politics is downstream from culture. I think politics and culture are indecipherable from one another now. Donald Trump became a cultural phenomenon, right? You go, you go into, you know, inner city Compton, you'll see guys with Trump shirts with, you know, the hand up, you know, fight, fight, fight. So what Democrats are doing is, you're still playing in a very old, hyper-sanitized media environment. And my advice is, you got to go where it's unpredictable, where it's treacherous, where it's dangerous. Now, I would make a more provocative argument that you wouldn't necessarily resonate with, which is that you guys have not, you guys have not built the intellectual muscle over 30 years because you all agree with each other all the time. Well, not like conservatives are massively disagreeing. This Trump has completely collapsed the conservative. I would push back a little bit. I would disagree. We have a robust discussion. It seems like Congress is really doing great oversight of Trump right now. They're just, they're holding him to account. That's an important but separate issue. I just want to finish the point, then we could talk about Congress, which is that in the Republican party, we have immense and vocal and public spats all the time. I think you would agree. We, we fight about foreign policy. Look at Ukraine. Right? We're talking about primary challenging some of these senators that were meeting Zelensky last week. The Democratic party would never do that. Now, I think that is a symptom of an underlying thing. We are, we're constantly trying to find the approximation of what truth is. We're trying to use dialogue towards, hey, who's right? What do you believe? Why do you believe it? And it's by no coincidence that out of the long-form podcasting genres, the top 10, eight of them are conservative, center-right. Rogan, Megan Kelly, The Von, the Paul Brothers, our program, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh. There's a singular one on the left, which is Pod Save America, which is just like a bunch of Obama bros agreeing with each other for 90 minutes and saying that we're not very smart. And, you know, and so anyway, but I, no, I appreciate. No, but objective truth, right? I mean, you just dominate this media. It's medium. But what, so what I mean, everything Democrats do and everything how Democrats operate is from the mindset of oppressor versus oppressed, not what is fair or just. See, we as conservatives talk about what is right or wrong, not just who the biggest victim is. Every way the Democrats look at issues, and you can see Gavin Newsom has been programmed to believe this throughout his life, is to look at where is the victim in the situation. We look at what is moral or immoral, right or wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust. We then talk about how I do not drink. He seemed very surprised by this, considering he owns a very nice vineyard in Napa Valley. As you can see, I kind of slipped that in there. He asks what Democrats I like. I want you to guess before you watch this, what, how I answer what Democrats I actually like. But there is this unhealthy purification process that Democrats go through where they kick any non-believers out of their ranks. Democrats are pushing people out of their own party. And we are far more ideologically healthy and diverse than the Democrat Party. You see, for us, and in our party, we believe the best ideas win. Democrats believe the most oppressed wins. And what I should have probably brought up, and looking back, hindsight again, I thought I did pretty well, but looking back, I should have said, Governor, you guys had to nominate Kamala Harris under these rules. You could not jump over Kamala Harris because she was a black woman. Since she was a black woman, you're not able to jump over her, otherwise they could have got to a better candidate. And deep down, I think Gavin Newsom knows that he has no place in the Democrat Party as a white man. Deep down, they hate him. His whole party is configured against him. But it's interesting. You're making a deeper that we're not. And you didn't say it again, in a, in a, in a maligning way, but that we're just not capable because not hardwired. Well, I think it's two. To be able to participate in this. Well, I think that it's two things. Number one, your upbringing in college campuses does not foster debate like it used to. It just doesn't. It's that it's about silencing the critic and the elevation of the victim. So you do not have the practice of robust having to defend your position. It's very monolithic. It's very centralized. It's very top-down. It's quasi-authoritarian. And then secondly, I would just say that the philosophy on the world, as I mentioned earlier, that you guys have adopted is that thou which is oppressed will get the most points. You guys don't have thou that has the best idea wins. And because of that, you guys have an elevation of like, hey, we're going to eventually, we're just going to have a small subset of a minoritarian hectoring hall monitor assistant principal vibe of people telling you that you're not allowed to say these words and you can't say that. And we, we call that political correctness, which in and of itself is hyper-authoritarian. So if you seek to understand and why young men are rebelling, right? It's like, no, I'm not going to go along with this anymore. Like, maybe I'm going to say, for an example, maybe I'm going to send out a stupid tweet when I'm 17 years old. When I'm, when I'm 26, I shouldn't have to get fired because of that, right? That 100%. I've never liked this. Can I mean, glad to hear you say that. I remember back when I was lieutenant governor, I think Bill Maher was trying to get on the UC campus or something. They were saying Bill Maher was too conservative voice. And we called that out at the time. It completely. But it's equally insane that people are boycotting Bud Light. I mean, how is that not called that? I don't drink. But yeah, I mean, like, you don't drink at all? I, I mean, no, never have. I have. Yeah. A couple years. What happened? What a couple years ago? You stopped. You stopped. Why'd you stop? I just, uh, wanted to be more successful. I love that. What were you drinking? Uh, Napa Valley wine. Oh, Jesus Christ. Here we go. Right. Are we going to get my Lord and Savior in V? Like that? Forgive. By the way, forgive me. I, I deeply respect. By the way, do respect your faith. I'm serious. It's like the fourth time. I mean, come on. No, no. I don't drink. But yeah, I mean, look, but first of all, we have the agency to boycott whatever we want. But understand. No, but I mean, in that cancel culture in reverse. I mean, a lot of cancel culture. Something completely different. First of all, cancel culture is someone in power using their power to cancel somebody that doesn't have power. That's cancel culture. Time out. Hold on. Well, Bud Light was people that don't have a lot of power. Consumers using their agency to say, no, powerful corporation, I'm not going to voluntarily associate with you. Cancel culture has always been the incumbent person with power, a governor, a principal, a boss, a CEO, a corporate board, going against the weaker. What we did with Bud Light was just a bunch of decentralized folks doing a good old-fashioned boycott. Completely different. But a boycott is not. I mean, well, there's boycotting speakers, there's boycotting. That is a derivative of cancel. But the, the culmination of cancel culture is somebody who has a power position wrongly canceling. Appreciate that respect. So let's go back to Democrats being totally incompetent, incapable of spending 30, let alone 45 to an hour having a conversation broadly on. I said, you, you're, you're becoming the exception. You're in the process of becoming. It's like becoming Gavin. Like becoming Michelle. Right. Becoming. But so what I mean, who do you, are the Democrats? You do forget literally any Democrats you admire out there right now. I mean, even beyond just the podcast thing that you look and say, Jesus, there's hope. Gotta stop saying, um, forgive me. There's hope. We can edit that out. No, I don't care. You can keep it in. Um, I used to have respect for Bernie on his anti-war stance. And now he's a complete neo. Ask you about Bernie. He's a complete neocon now. So he's, he's not there. Democrats I respect. Oh, Bobby Kennedy. I respect. Tulsi Gabbard. Why are you laughing? Why are you smiling? Because like, they're on our team now. Because you guys kicked out like your best people. It's like the people that were in. This is a great point though, Governor, is that Bobby Kennedy was a heterodox opinion on a thing that a lot of people were concerned about. Get him out. He's an anti-vaxer. Tulsi Gabbard, who is anti-war. Get her out. She's a Russian agent. You guys see how you have an unhealthy purification process where eventually you're left with just a 31% approval rating and a bunch of people that are talking to each other. And meanwhile, we're the ones that have Democrats in our cabinet, winning the electoral majority vote. Because there needs to be said where if Democrats are serious about being a majority party ever again, when somebody has a disagreement, for example, if there's a pro-life Democrat, is there a place for a pro-life Democrat in the Democrat Party? No. I mean, there should be. Okay, that's on principle. AB, that's a, a deeply held personal point of view. God bless. I agree. Not every party or Democrat official would say that, right? And so certain states have different opinions on that. And I say this is one of the biggest champions for reproductive freedom on the planet. Trust me. I know that. I know. But like the, the issue though, is that that is like a, that is a one-stop purity test. Like we have pro-choice Republicans. That was a. A pro-choice Republican? No. And Trump himself decided to pivot a little bit. He's more pro-choice than I am. Like, but what I'm saying though, is what you see in the Republican party is the best, in my opinion, culmination of modern politics. And it doesn't get appreciated. Look at that ideological diversity. We have people that, you know, geez, they want to go to war with every country that says something bad against us. And then we have people that are far more dovish, you know, like Rand Paul. But in that, that is a better, more, dare I say, diverse picture. You could say diversity is our strength. Oh, look at you. Look at Charlie Kirk. Diversity is strength. I mean, I want to end the podcast right there. But first, I said, you could say, I want to do. We have ultimate editing here. I'm going to. You better not edit any of. For. We're not going to edit any of this. Um, and and and by the way, uh, no reason to edit any of this despite my use of inappropriate words here and there. Here's the final advice that I gave to Gavin Newsom. Not my best advice, as you'll see. I only gave him my B or C advice. I asked him if he's working with ICE. This is just so fraudulent, by the way. I probably should have called this out even more. It's just so nonsensical. He's not doing anything on the southern border. He's not assisting with detainers. There were 7,000 people in California that had ICE detainers on them that were not touched at all. Also talking about the quality of life. Everyone here in this audience, your quality of life has slipped dramatically in recent years thanks to big government Democrats, just like Gavin Newsom. Thanks to the one-party rule of states like California. California has the highest housing prices, the most homelessness, the, well, the second highest housing prices, the highest cost of living. And what are they doing about it? Blaming Republicans. The quality of life has slipped dramatically in the great state of California, and Gavin Newsom is solely responsible for the downfall of San Francisco and the downfall of California. Watch. Let me ask you, just on the, on the Democratic party side, forgive me, I do want to just look where, so our effort to get out of the wilderness, you know, on the woke culture wars, on some of these issues, on providing a more diverse, dare I say, of opinion, and pulling people in. But what, what else do you? I mean, do you feel this party? I mean, you point that the Republican party is now going to be the dominant in Senate part. No, I'm not saying that. I don't, I don't have that kind of pride. I'm not saying. I'm saying right now, we are the ascendant worldview. But we could screw this up easily. And we might be. You have to have the humility to say that. But like, as of the recording of this podcast, we have a majority approval rating, won the electoral. I mean, all that stuff, right? And you both houses. I mean, a te. We could screw it up. And you guys could adjust or adapt. The, this is what this was my, this was the, the question that I'm not articulating very effectively. But I remember so many of the similar contours of this conversation we were having in 2004 and 2005. We just got shellacked. Both houses of Congress, Republicans. You had a Republican president that won the popular vote. The last Republican president to win the popular vote. And two years later, you had Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Four years later, you had 53% of the vote, the highest since 19, what I don't know, '64. I, I don't say that's impossible. So, so what if, if you were in my camp, uh, what is? I'm not going to give you my best advice. I'll give you like, I'll give you like the B or C level advice. Give me, give me the B plus advice. Cu the secret stuff. I'm not sharing. No, what you've got. What is your secret stuff? Why don't we go there? That's secret. For what is it? Is it technical? Or is it? It's all. I can design your presidential run in a way where. Talk about president. We're not talking about president. This is not about that. You got. By the way, you guys are so obsessed with the idea that every goddamn thing I do. I said it again. Yeah, I said it again because I needed your emotional reaction. That everything I do has is framed in that context. It's it's a talk about you. Trump derangement syndrome. I think you got one with with California. First of all, first of all, it's not, it's not new to have someone from California run for the presidency. We just beat someone from California presidency. California is California is to politics to the Democrat Party as Florida is our party. You guys have the speaker, the former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, right? You have, you have a lot of the ascendant political voices come out of the state. So it's not derangement syndrome. It's no, it's knowing your enemy and looking at the horizon and understanding what's coming. But anyway, if I were to give you some advice, I'll give you the B and C level stuff, which is very simple. You have to go to war with your own party on three major things. You got to say, we are not going to do this illegal immigration thing anymore, which includes like, are you going to work with ICE? We do work with ICE. I let me, by the way, just so people can this, we've been, I, in fact, directly, we actually put out the the data. I was, I actually reached out to the administration saying, are you not aware that California coordinates and cooperates with all DCR releases? Over 10,000. Explain the sanctuary state thing. Then you got the statewide sanctuary state and you got Governor. Yeah, which in the statewide framework allows us to work as it relates to issues of criminals and coordinating the release of criminals from our federal or from our state prison populate prison system. We coordinate with ICE on the deportation. We've done that over 10,000 times since I've been governor. We're not denying access. We're not denying coordination. Criminal for criminals. Sanctuary policy was never. I would, I would say if you break into the country illegally, 8 USC 1325 is a breaking a federal law. Right. Civil, not criminal. But, but it is a federal law. I get it. I'm saying. So by the way, if, if you're serious about moderating the party, 8 USC 13325. Vast majority Americans. Let me just go through. Vast majority Americans want mass deportations. It's just the thing until until they don't. Well, that's my humble opinion. Until they don't. Okay. Someone been here 10 years, paying taxes. I don't buy it. You, you. Well, but at the moment, you're right. You might be right. The number out. So we'll see. Number two, we mentioned the trans stuff. It's an affront to all of our senses. It's out of control. I, I, you, you don't believe in it fundamentally. It's not just sports. It's not style. You just don't. I mean, get back to. Issues are separate than the political advice. But if you'd like me to, we could do a whole Charlie Kirk Ask Me Anything and you can show up to Cal State North on Thursday. Got 25 tickets. To what your feelings are. So actually, that was a, a question I didn't need to. If you want it, it's fine. I just don't think that's the best use of time. But on the political advice is that Americans increasingly believe that their good-heartedness and charitable nature towards the LGBT issue has on overblown, especially with youth sports, youth curriculum, and the chemical castration of our kids when it comes to this medical therapy. And you seem that you want to really, I encourage you, Governor, to learn about some of the butchery under the guise of healthcare that is happening under chemical castration in this state and in other states. We don't spend a lot of time on that. The American people are overwhelmingly against it. They're overwhelmingly against it. No, I think we have to be more sensitized to, uh, that youth should be off limits. I think that's, that's the political direction things are going. You might be right on deportations. I know I'm right on this. I know that this issue is picking up steam. There is no good counter to it. The Cass report, the United Kingdom Cass report, the NHS came out and said there's no good reason to ever operate surgically on a young person. Puberty is not the problem. Puberty is the solution. I think I encourage. I'm not an expert in this, but I appreciate your. But I'm saying politically, it's a super turbocharge issue that is kicking the tail of Democrats. The third one though, is quality of life. Is quality of life? I agree with you on this one, especially. But like, I mean, look, homeless in encampments out of control, unacceptable issues. Just qu. You know where I'm going with this. Why is it you were able to clean it up for Xi Jinping? That was you guys. That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. By the way, you guys weaponized that. I saw that on 25 things. That was. You know what? I will happily, happily revert back to your counter. As in this weaponized, insidious. Give me a break. All respect. I saw a beautiful picture of San Francisco that looked like Singapore. And then Xi Jinping leaves. And the Walking Dead come back. By the way, it was a pack. You had dozens and dozens of foreign leaders. And in California is not San Francisco. But I, the Governor of California, the Mayor of California, not the Mayor of San Francisco. You, the mayor. But I just want to understand why is we to clean it up? But you have to admit there's it's emblematic of something that if enough important people show up, it can get clean. So why not make it clean all the time? That's exactly my. By the way, that's my energy. I think you've missed a lot of my press conferences. I've been saying that to all these mayors. State vision is realized at the local level. It's about accountability, transparency. If you can't clean up the streets, we're going to redirect the money. Mayors seem to be more. Great progress is being made. By the way, what's going on with homelessness in all these red states? You're seeing it through the roof. Went up 18% across the country. I'm not here defending every red state of what we're doing. But I'm making the point. This is hardly to sure. There's a lot of May. Quality of life's huge, right? And the housing crisis, of course, came up. What are we going to do to help young people buy more homes? Do we actually agree on something? This actually was the few moments where we agreed on something. Gavin Newsom and I find common ground. And then like, look, the number one thing, which I know you're going to agree with, and I'm sure you'll have a super slick response, right? That's about half true. But, which is the cost of housing. Average home in California, $850,000. I like what you said about BlackRock. So yeah, I mean, but that was interesting to me. I think that is, but again, that's not a majority of house purchasing. About one in four houses are bought by private equity. Would you agree to say that BlackRock should not be able to own homes in California? I think and then turning around and renting them. It's insane, right? It's this is a huge problem. Prop a bill in the California state. We, we've had one. Didn't get very far last year. And there's more conversations. 10 trillion fund shouldn't be able to come in. Buch. BlackRock specifically. I mean, what's happening in this space? Mass, mass asset managers that have billion dollars, $50 billion asset management are now competing against our college grad from. By the way, State Fullerton. I love that you say this. By the way, just in that spirit, don't you agree one of the doge things should be dealing with the one and a half billion dollars of subsidies on carried interest? Oh, I, I. Carried interest. I think is a huge problem. And by the way, you know, President Trump has proposed in his tax bill to get rid of. He proposes it all the time. But it actually Joe Biden didn't get rid of carried interest. That is the holy grail of private equity, you know that, right? Interest. I mean, but let's go back to. And by the way, you're going to have a revolt in Palo Alto if you get rid of carried. They're going to light torches and like run to Sacramento on the issue of housing. You couldn't be more right. It's the original sin in the state of California. Affordability, period, full stop. And it has more, more impact on the issue of of homelessness than any other issue because the cost of living. Uh, by the way, we had 188,000 people, 2005, 20 years ago, on the streets and homeless. And our point-in-time count. So this is hardly unique to California. A long-term issue. And housing is at the core. We agree. We agree on the problem. But here, help me understand.

This, you guys, control the House, the Senate, with suit majorities. You control everything. Why can't you fix it? You said you were going to build three and a half million homes. You're building like 111,000 a year.

There's something called a pandemic, uh, that may have had a little impact. Issues of interest rates may have had a little impact on housing production. The country outpacing every other state. Hold on. On EX Hawaii, four, two, SQL reform bills created a housing accountability unit, and we're, we're making, we're making big progress. We've done all the rezoning. We've been pounding in this space. There's no administration in modern California history that's done more to reform the housing space and the regulatory space as it relates to the issue of housing.

The biggest challenge right now is NIMBYism. The biggest challenge we have is local planning and zoning, and that's why we've been very aggressive. A disaster. We agree on that. I mean, and, and, and so I have a YIM mindset on all this stuff. I'm on the front lines of this. Your friends, they are your friends down in Huntington Beach that I'm suing. They're conserv. The whole, they love you. They literally, you're 99.9. Who's living, who in rent-free, and who head us one of those small towns? We're suing them because of their rank NIMBYism. Uh, we have been very aggressive in this space.

I'm waiting for one big thing. We all are waiting for, and I think it had the biggest, perhaps one of the biggest impacts that we don't focus on enough in the last election, that was interest rates. As interest rates, I believe they will come down, you're going to see an explosion of housing production. I'm very confident of that in California. Yeah, but you also might see an increase in, in housing prices. Of course. Well, it's, to me, it's, it's all about supply, right? E 101, supply, demand. The, the biggest issue. Our B California, Hawaii have the two highest housing prices in the country. Hawaii has an obvious excuse. They only have so much land. You guys don't have a lack of land. By the way, I haven't been governor for a century, okay? I mean, Jesus. I mean, I've been on, but six years. And by the way, no excuse. I get it. You can't take credit for all the assets, you know, number one AI, number one N. You, you also got to take respons more. I, I'll take a little more credit of the generative AI. 32 of the top. Saying you have to balance both, both the credit and the, and the blame. But, but quality of life, right? So we can both. So when I talk to a college kid, one of the reasons they saw Trump as a vessel for a better life is that under President Trump, those first four years, we saw a material increase in their livelihood, wages, easier to buy a home. Four years where he like, just the facts are, the average wage to be able to own a home in, in LA, to be able to own a home. Oh, yeah. Insane. It used to be $75,000 a year. It's now $145,000 a year. So I mean, what it does, and this is again, it's creating this kind of belief system of Russian serfs, of a generation that will never have the material American dream that their parents once enjoyed. Yeah. No, and I look, I think it's a full circle on this conversation where you began by identifying. We'll circle back. And then finally, Gavin Newsom's meeting with Trump again. The, that he would kind of still cover what Joe Biden just goes to show you should not trust anything this guy says. It's like, oh, you know, Biden had great mental competency. Watch. No, but it's a point. The, but the point you're making, Scott Galloway and others have been making, is it relates to this generational theft? He's spot on on this. And I think there's, there's so much validity to you recognizing that problem and how one, so diagnosing it's one thing, but and President Trump as well, he deserves credit. And I mean, I think, yeah, he's, he deserves. I'm, I want to get you to say the words. I did, by the way. I just spent almost 90 minutes with him in the Oval Office a couple weeks ago. Isn't he the greatest? And, uh, yeah, I think it was the first Democrat invited in. In Trump 2.0. You got to admit, there's something magical. That guy. Joe B. Joe Biden couldn't do five minutes with. By the way, I did almost 90 minutes with with Biden right before he left in the Oval. That, by the way, that'd be a hell of a book. 90, you know, 180 minutes. I should do a book of the two. That bookmark those two exp. By the way, he 100% was. Oh, come on, Governor. Just a fact. It's a, it's just. You can do. You think there was any mental de? There. No, no, seriously. You went around the country being like, he's. I'll take him at 100. There was one exception, and I de. No, no, no. Before the debate, I was about to say, uh, and that was the big fundraiser down in LA where I saw a different person. The Clooney, and, and Clooney called that out. It, it was not. That was, but, you know, so much of that focus was all right. He just got back from Europe. But that was the one, one time. We don't need to get it. But I, I just say, Governor, just on that one top. We saw with our own eyes for three years, and the media told us, no, no, he's perfectly fine. And then we saw the debate. And look, it makes us not trust our leaders when we say everyone is perfectly fine. It's the emperor is fine. Are you seeing any mental decline in Donald Trump right now? No. I, I see that more sharp, acute. You tell me. You sat with him in the Oval Office for 90 minutes. The guy has a memory of. I'm asking. I mean, I know I'm just, I'm just asking your. I think he's. How often do you talk, talk to Trump, by the way? Once or twice a week. Is he checking for advice, or is he? You, you both. It depends if there's something I want to talk to him about. But I mean, he's just a machine. He'll take every call. You got to give him credit for. He'll take right. Every call. Thing big, right? It's amazing. And, and he'll listen to every idea. He'll joust it out. He'll talk about it. He always goes back to what did I promise the voters? What was the last idea you gave him? Uh, the last idea was like, Mr. President, here's, here's what you need, or here's the thought. Here's my. Actually, it was interesting. I said, I don't think Canada should be the 51st state. We already have California, and we have enough libs in our country. Jesus. On that. Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. No, on that. I just want to thank you. This, this has been Gavin Newsom prod. Uh, thanks. This was fun. Thanks, man. Thanks for having. Thanks for coming on. Thanks, whatever. Having Jesus Christ. We don't get over it. So, in closing, what are my thoughts? I think Gavin Newsom wants to run to the middle. Should we trust him? No. I don't think it's legitimate. I don't think it's authentic. I will say, they, their team told us they would not edit a piece of footage, and they didn't, and they deserve credit for that. In a world where a lot of people will say one thing and another, they were honest brokers. But I don't think that Gavin Newsom is actually having a metamorphosis on any issue. I don't think Gavin Newsom has any, has any closely held issues. I think he cares about what will keep him in power and get him closer to the presidency. So, hope you guys enjoyed my conversation with Gavin Newsom. There is now a Democrat civil war underway, large and part, thanks to our conversation. It was good to be able to challenge one of the leaders of the Democrat Party on who they are and why they have failed the American people, and also to continue to remind them they are losing young people.
