3:27Ben Meiselas:You can hear the sound of Donald Trump throwing a ketchup bottle against the wall and it's smashing in Malaysia right here in the United States. Trump is pissed as California Governor Gavin Newsom is leading the way for the people here, while Donald Trump has run off to a trip in Asia, while the United States government is shut down, while 20 million Americans are on the verge of losing their health care. 42 million Americans are on the verge of losing their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. Now, Governor Newsom held a series of interviews and events over the past 24 hours while Donald Trump is in Asia.

4:11Ben Meiselas:Governor Newsom is showing what it means to lead. And he was asked, are you considering running for the presidency? To which Governor Newsom said, I would be lying if I told you I was not considering that. I'll get to that clip in a moment. But here, Governor Newsom calls Donald Trump an invasive species. He says Trump is an invasive species in the United States and the world, like a wrecking ball destroying, like a virus that spreads that needs to be stopped. This is how you speak with moral authority and moral clarity. Watch Governor Newsom right here. Let's play this clip. I mean, he's an invasive species.

4:52For California. For the country. for the world. He's a wrecking ball, not just the symbolism and substance of the East Wing. He's wrecking alliances, truth, trust, tradition, institutions.

5:06Ben Meiselas:Then Governor Newsom did a podcast called All the Smoke. And Governor Newsom said, Donald Trump is literally putting America in reverse right now. It's time we wake up. Here, play this clip. I can't take what's going on. I mean, no bullshit. I can't take it. Every single day, every single hour. And it's not even about Dems versus Republicans, about this country and what we stand for, man. They're literally putting America in reverse. I mean, quite literally to a pre-1960s world. You got the Supreme Court talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act. And that's very real. That may likely happen in just a matter of months.

5:47I mean, they're rewriting history, sensory and historical facts. It's a unbelievable moment. All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-black, period, full stop. All the CRT, ESG, DEI stuff, that's all this is. It's this great purge and it's happening in real time. And I'm just, I'm sitting here and I feel like, you know, luckily I'm governor, but like, we're not doing enough. We're not calling this out. We're not drawing a line here. And again, it's not about Democrats or Republicans. It's about who we are, man. Yeah, right and wrong. Goddamn wrong. Daylight and darkness.

6:22Ben Meiselas:I feel like anytime you want to make it harder to vote, that means you can't stand and win with your policy. Anytime you want to make it tougher for people to have access to what our rights are, you can't stand on what your policy is. Next, Governor Newsom talks about how California will lead the way. We will stand up for the rule of law, not the rule of Don. And by the way, it's not a foregone conclusion that people like Governor Newsom would stand up and step up. We've seen history littered with authoritarians who were able just to crush all opposition. So it makes me feel good to see people like Governor Newsom leading the way and fighting.

7:05Ben Meiselas:Here play this clip. Proposition 50 is about congressional maps, but you're framing it as something bigger. Yeah, I mean, I think it's about our democracy. It's about the future of this republic. I think it's about, you know, what the founding fathers lived and died for, this notion of the rule of law, not the rule of Don, this notion of popular sovereignty fundamentally, a co-equal branches of government, system of checks and balances. His presidency de facto ends next November. If we're successful, we the people are successful in taking back the House and making sure that we're successful. I believe, Governor, if the Democrats take back power in the House, his presidency is over.

7:45De facto, as we know it today, fire and fury signifying maybe something. But finally, you have rebalanced this system. Co-equal branch of government begins to assert itself. It appears again. If you have a Speaker Johnson, we may have a third term of President Trump. I really believe that.

8:07Ben Meiselas:Governor Newsom on the All the Smoke podcast over here says, what the hell is going on in this country? He says, look, I'm the governor of California. You know who was the governor of California as well? Ronald Reagan. And now Donald Trump's out there saying that Ronald Reagan's speeches were actually AI and that Reagan loved tariffs when we all know that Reagan did not love tariffs. Governor Newsom says, you know, Reagan would be rolling in his grave right now if he saw what the hell was happening to this Republican Party. And that's why Governor Newsom also says Prop 50 is so important right now more than ever.

8:46Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. The hell is going on in this country and Republican Party is nowhere to be found. Ronald Reagan's rolling in his goddamn grave. I sit in Reagan's desk as the former governor of California rolling in his grave. the hell is going on in this country. So people need to speak up. And the richest, most powerful human beings are doing exactly the opposite. Crazy. Back to the damn knee pads. And so that's why I'm here. That's why I'm doing the social media. That's why I'm doing Prop 50. And it's not enough. I mean, it's got to be all of us standing up. And here's the clip where Governor Newsom is asked, are you considering running for the presidency?

9:32Ben Meiselas:And watch his response. Let's play it. I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. And that's the question for the American people. Is it fair to say after the 2026 midterms, you're going to give it serious thought? Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise. I'd just be lying. And I can't do that. Governor, you have long said that if you ever run for the White House, you need a compelling why, a reason. Are you moving closer to figuring out your own why and your own decision? Yeah, and he's just said if you have a compelling why, you can endure any how. And so I don't think, I think the biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office is people see right through you if you don't have that why.

10:16You're doing it for the wrong reasons. And so, look, well, that faith will determine that. You certainly seem to like being on the ground in South Carolina. I have to say that. Seeing you up close, you were having a good time. I happen to, and thank God I'm in the right business. I love people. I actually love people.

10:34Ben Meiselas:Ever have one of those moments where your body reminds you it's not 25 anymore? Maybe it's the slower recovery after a workout or the way your joints creak like an old floorboard. And don't get me started on how much worse it is in the winter. It's like my energy goes into hibernation. Aging is a reality for all of us, but our actions determine how we age. That's why I use Qualia Senolytic to help keep my cells healthy and my body feeling youthful. Zombie cells are real and they're aging you. These senescent cells stop being useful, but stick around draining your energy, slowing recovery, and making you feel older than you are.

11:10Ben Meiselas:Qualia Senolytic helps your body fight back against aging. It's a powerful, clinically tested formula with nine vegan, plant-derived compounds that support your body's natural ability to eliminate zombie cells so you can feel sharper, stronger, and more energized. Take it just two days a month. That's all it takes. Take Qualiacinolytic for just two days a month and start aging better at the cellular level. After adding Qualiacinolytic to my routine, I noticed a real difference. My energy feels steadier, recovery is quicker, and mentally I'm more dialed in. Experience the science of feeling younger.

We've been seeing Newsom powerfully use and command social media like his post right here. Donald Trump is literally dancing in Asia while 40 million people lose access to food. Disgusting because we learned that the SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding, is set to expire November 1st.

12:31Ben Meiselas:40 million, it's actually 42 million Americans will lose their benefits. And Donald Trump's out there with that ridiculous Jeffrey Epstein dance that he's doing. And he's been doing that all in Malaysia. What a clown. What a clown. Governor Newsom then talks about, he responds to a Fox headline, I guess, trying to attack him. The Fox headline is, Newsom bails out Planned Parenthood with$140 million to keep 100 clinics open after Trump cuts funding. And Newsom says, yep, I did that. Accurate Fox headline alert. Governor Newsom then looks at Donald Trump's post, ranting and raving like a lunatic, where Trump's like, Canada was caught red-handed cheating.

13:14Ben Meiselas:They're using AI of Ronald Reagan. Everybody knows that Reagan loves tariffs. Everybody knows in Canada they were cheating by putting Reagan's words, and it was all AI. It's not AI. They're not cheating. Come down, man, baby. Ridiculous. Governor Newsom responds, the man child in the Oval Office got his feelings hurt. So he is punishing the American people with higher costs in response to a KTLA story breaking. A staffing shortage in Southern California's airspace triggered a ground stop affecting Los Angeles international airport flights on Sunday morning. The FAA said Governor Newsom writes, hell of a job, Transportation Secretary Duffy.

13:56Ben Meiselas:Can't wait to see what you do with NASA. right? Duffy's like, we're going to put nuclear reactor facilities on the moon. It's like, can you start off with maybe making sure that American people can keep their healthcare and extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies? MAGA Republicans refuse to even speak with Democrats, let alone negotiate with them. But you're talking about nuclear reactors on the moon. What are you even talking about? This was from Governor Newsom's interview as well with CBS. And he talks about Trump and Stephen Miller, that their immigration agenda, it's not about getting criminals off the street.

14:35Ben Meiselas:We all support getting the criminals and the bad guys off the street. They're targeting people in Home Depot parking lots, in farms, in factories, in restaurants. Here, play this clip. California cooperates as it relates to criminals. We continue to cooperate out of our state penitentiary system. Hundreds of people every month that we coordinate with ICE to go after the worst of the worst. That's not what this is about. And everybody knows it. You don't just randomly show up at a car wash and tell me it's about the worst of the worst. You don't randomly show up at the showrooms or the parking lots of every Home Depot.

15:12Ben Meiselas:Then in response to this article from CNN, Trump's Argentina beef deal angers America's struggling farmers. You're selling us out. Governor Newsom responds. Trump is sending Argentina$20 billion, actually$40 billion now and increasing their beef imports while starving American families. There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn't want to provide it. What will it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in? Trump hates America. He hates this country. He hates Americans. All he cares about is his oligarch friends to steal money from them. Basically, all he cares about is enriching himself.

15:56Ben Meiselas:More rantings and ravings of Donald Trump. What's worse, the NBA players cheating at cards or the 2020 elections were rigged. Wah, wah, wah. To which Governor Newsom responds, ramblings of an old man that knows he's going to lose. That's why Trump continues to cheat. That's why Trump wants to rig the midterms. That's why Trump wants to intimidate Californians by sending DOJ officials to show up at election sites during the Prop 50, during the voting for Prop 50. Governor Newsom writes, Trump is sending the DOJ to California to monitor the election. His intentions are clear. He wants to suppress the vote.

16:41Ben Meiselas:Here, let's play this clip right here. So today, the Trump administration announced they're sending election monitors to five specific counties here in the state of California. They have no business doing that. They have no basis to do that. In fact, we have a statewide election for a statewide constitution. This is about voter intimidation. This is about voter suppression, period, full stop. And it's a pattern, isn't it? It's consistent with what they've done with the federalization of the National Guard and the intimidation and the chill that that's created. They'll do that right around Election Day as well.

17:14Same thing with ICE and Border Patrol, mass men. Watch that space showing up in and around polling booths and voting places. But this is a bridge too far. And I hope people understand it's a bridge that they're trying to build, the scaffolding for all across this country in next November's election. They do not believe in fair and free elections. Our republic, our democracy is on the line. We all need to wake up.

17:39Ben Meiselas:Then Governor Newsom says, fixed it for you, Mike Davis, who's this MAGA lawyer troll online. And Mike Davis goes, why are Democrats terrified of transparency in elections? Because they rig and steal them, which Governor Newsom says fixed it for you. Why are Republicans so terrified of transparency in elections? Because they rig and steal them. There you have it, folks.
