1:52Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is getting put in his place. California Governor Newsom is showing Donald who is the alpha, who has the power. And California Governor Gavin Newsom is doing it powerfully with moral clarity, with moral authority. And he is not holding back, putting Trump in his place. So after California and the state of Oregon filed an emergency motion against Donald Trump after Trump sought to circumvent the federal judge who Trump appointed in 2019's order from Saturday blocking Donald Trump from utilizing Oregon National Guard troops, Trump then tried to deploy California National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon, to bring the California National Guard to invade Portland, Oregon.

2:45Ben Meiselas:And Governor Newsom said, get the hell out of here, Donald. Governor Newsom and his attorney general immediately filed a lawsuit and they brought it in front of that same Trump appointed judge, Judge Immigrant. And the judge ruled against Donald Trump and basically said, you are violating my court orders. Emergency restraining order granted Sunday night. Governor Newsom posted the following breaking. We just won in court again. A federal judge blocked Donald Trump's unlawful attempt to deploy 300 of our National Guard troops to Portland. The court granted our request for a temporary restraining order halting any federalization, relocation, or deployment of any Guard members to Oregon from any state.

3:35Ben Meiselas:So what Trump was trying to do was said, oh, okay, federal judge who was appointed by Donald Trump in 2019, you said we can't call up the Oregon National Guard, so we're going to call up Californians. We're going to call up Texas. We're going to call up D.C. Ha, ha, ha. and run around your order, Trump appointed judge. And Governor Newsom said, no way. And Trump's abuse of power won't stand. Now, Governor Newsom, before that lawsuit that was brought by California and Oregon was filed, said the following. After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon.

4:18Ben Meiselas:They are on their way right now. We are taking this fight back to court. The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the president of the United States. That's what I mean when I say moral clarity, just calling it out what it is. Donald Trump is a fascist. Donald Trump is an authoritarian and a pathetic and weak one at that humiliating our great nation and our great constitution. Governor Newsom's press account then posted the following in response to the court victory. This is a big effing deal for democracy. And when the news broke that Donald Trump was deploying California National Guard to invade Portland, Oregon, the following was posted by Governor Newsom.

5:08Ben Meiselas:Red alert, Trump is illegally sending 300 California guard members to Portland, flouting the law and treating judges as enemies. This comes after a Trump appointed judge rejected the white house's justification for deploying federal troops. Speak out now. And you will recall that Donald Trump's right hand, Stephen Miller, basically called that Trump appointed judge from 2019, like a terrorist enabler. And this also comes when a judge in South Carolina who ruled against Donald Trump had her house burned down in a very suspicious act as well. Governor Newsom posted the following. The commander-in-chief is using the U.S.

5:54Ben Meiselas:military as a political weapon against American citizens. Do not stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct. It was in response to Governor Pritzker also saying this evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployment to Illinois, Oregon and other locations within the United States. And he goes on to say that no officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinated horrific conduct by an authoritarian president, an authoritarian pretender at that. Um, Governor Newsom in response to the court victory also says huge night for the rule of law, terrible night for Trump's authoritarianism.

6:40Ben Meiselas:Now, Donald Trump's, uh, sycophant, Greg Abbott, who hasn't even dealt with the dead children in Texas. There are still missing dead children, hundreds, over a hundred children, over a hundred people have died. Dozens of children were killed in Texas in the flash floods, which they were not prepared for because they didn't utilize the funds that former president Biden gave them to have an emergency system. Instead, they took it for personal bonuses for themselves. Oh yeah. Where was Donald Trump's FEMA on that July 4th weekend? Well, Kristi Noem was just out and about enjoying herself and did not authorize urban search and rescue teams that were needed to get into Texas immediately for significant periods of time.

7:25Ben Meiselas:afterwards. She didn't sign off on it because she demanded$100 ,000 write-off authority for herself that she had to personally sign. And then she shut down the emergency call centers as well, leading up to these flash floods. It was like a four-minute walk for the children to get up to the top of the hill had there been emergency sirens. Could you imagine if that was a Democratic run area, what the outcry would be by all people in the United States. But now Greg Abbott, they want to reopen that Camp Mystic, by the way, while dead children are still missing. And Governor Greg Abbott posts the following.

8:02Ben Meiselas:I fully authorized the president to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials. You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let the Texas Guard do it. No guard can match the training skill and expertise of the Texas National Guard. They defend our country with pride. America must also know that Texas still has thousands of National Guard assisting the border security. Seriously, what the hell is this? And that's why I'm glad that you have governors with moral clarity like Governor Gavin Newsom calling out this pathetic conduct.

8:39Ben Meiselas:So do you all see what Donald Trump is doing? He's now calling on red state governors, his sycophants like Governor Abbott and other red state governors to use their National Guard in blue states, literally having red states invade blue states. That's what they want to do. No wonder Donald Trump idolizes the Confederate generals. No wonder he wants to see those statutes re-erected because he is doing some of the same. And let me just call it out, treasonous, traitorous crap that we saw back then. This is utterly pathetic and no American who values our constitution should stand for this at all.

9:18Ben Meiselas:But Governor Newsom, in response to Greg Abbott's ridiculous, traitorous post, says the following, sorry, champ, the constitution's in your way. A respected federal judge who, by the way, Trump appointed, just ruled you can't send your troops to Oregon. And just think that Abbott is so giddy about sending Texas troops to invade a blue state? Seriously, how utterly traitorous and treasonous and civil war-like that is. How can anybody stand for this and call themselves an American? It pisses me off. Governor Newsom then posts the following. America, do not stay silent in the face of reckless and authoritarian conduct by the president of the United States.

10:01Ben Meiselas:Speak up. Donald Trump is an authoritarian thug. He is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against America's citizens. Fire Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller is a very sick man. My teeth are very important to me. Healthy mouth, healthy life, right?

Thank you, Remy, for sponsoring this episode. Have you seen these videos of some of these mascot-looking protesters, peaceful protesters wearing mascots in Portland now? Because this is what the Portland, this is what Trump is saying looks like a war zone. People dressed up like a frog. And then Governor Newsom goes, Donald Trump is illegally deploying California's National Guard to Oregon to handle an inflatable frog.

12:02Ben Meiselas:He's testing the limits of the law to see how far he can go to take control of you. And then he goes, Stephen Miller thinks governors can ship National Guard troops across state lines to be used against American citizens. Retweet if you think Stephen Miller should be fired. Horrific, horrific stuff. And, you know, Stephen Miller's posts, The core purpose of the organized terrorist attacks on Department of Homeland Security is to reverse through assault and assassination the 2024 election mandate to expel the millions of illegal aliens that Biden administration criminally imported into our cities.

12:42Ben Meiselas:They seek to overturn votes with violence. Do you see the fascist and vile language from that vile piece of trash, that vile piece of trash, Stephen? What are they even talking about? This is not the America I've ever known. The America I know is one of empathy, is one of conclusion, is one of inclusion. It's one of building up and lifting up people, not punching down. At least that's the America I want to live in. I want to live in the America where you have people like Martin Luther King Jr. talking about. I have a dream. I want to think about the melting pot that I learned about growing up and how we are all able to, we the people, come together, support, defend, protect our constitution and be in this together, not sending troops in the National Guard from one state to invade another state, not to have masked ICE agents, disappearing kids in Chicago, zip tying children, engaging in chemical warfare, throwing pepper spray at children and actually police officers, state police officers too, engaging in crimes against to humanity.

13:47Ben Meiselas:War crimes taking place in the United States as we speak with a Trump Gestapo militarized forces, Black Hawk helicopters, tanks rolling into cities, hurting people, disappearing people, sending them to concentration camps called alligator Alcatraz. The hell is going on in this country. And it's why it's important that we have people like Governor Newsom standing up. Governor Newsom also posted, after shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about the imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation. That's right. They're vacationing all week.

14:25Ben Meiselas:They're not even here showing up to even try to negotiate. They don't want to talk to Democrats. And one of the major reasons is Trump also wants to bury the Epstein files because if Congress goes back in session, Adelita Grijalva from Arizona's 7th Congressional District. She gets sworn in and she becomes the 218th signature on the discharge petition, which would allow for a vote to finally release the Epstein files. So I think Trump wants to shut down the government forever. Honestly, I think what Trump wants to do is rule as a dictator, no government for the next three years, if he can. And it is why that we the people need to have our voices be heard right now.

15:06Ben Meiselas:As Governor Newsom says, Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people. If you're living in America right now, you're either on an Affordable Care Act plan, Medicare or Medicaid, most likely, okay? And so we know he gutted Medicaid. We know he hurt Medicare. And now the Affordable Care Act subsidies are about to expire, meaning if you're on an Affordable Care Act plan and your premiums are$300 a month, they may go up to$900 a month,$2 ,000 a month. How are you going to pay$25 ,000 to$35 ,000 a year in health insurance if you're making between$65 ,000 and$85 ,000? Heck, if you're making more than that, how are you going to be able to afford$30 ,000 a year?

15:44Ben Meiselas:It's why those subsidies were so important. They brought down the cost of health insurance, and you know that, but the MAGA Republicans in their Club Rose Garden and 90 ,000-square-foot Golden Ballroom, whatever, they don't recognize what Americans are going through. They don't recognize or they do and they enjoy the suffering. It may be both of those. Governor Newsom then posts, think the GOP shutdown driven health care crisis won't affect you. Think again. If Republicans don't reverse course, average enrollee premiums on California's health insurance exchange are set to skyrocket come January.

16:22Ben Meiselas:He also writes, after some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care costs in American history. They can lie to our faces all they want, but that's what the GOP government shutdown is all about. Now, finally, on Friday, Governor Newsom participated in something called Fortnight Friday with Gavin Newsom. And this was hosted by a guy by the name of Connor Eats Pants. And now Connor Eats Pants host these Fortnite Fridays. And here was Governor Newsom playing with Conor Eats Pants. They were streaming and you'll see the video game in the background, but this is where, you know, the people talk about whatever the kind of issues of the day are while playing Fortnite.

17:14Ben Meiselas:As Jack Cochorella says, I don't really think any Democrat can match what Newsom brings in this clip lighting up Elon Musk, Trump, Epstein, and then also in the video game, doing what you got to do in the video game. Make sure you watch this. This is incredible. And he talks about Trump covering up the Epstein files, how pathetic the Republican party has become. Listen to what he's saying. If video games aren't anything, don't have to get distracted by the video game. Just listen to what Governor Newsom plays. If you like video games, I don't play video games much anymore, But if you like video games like my nephews love video games, you'll doubly enjoy this.

17:51Ben Meiselas:So let's watch this clip. Let's play it.

17:53Gavin Newsom:You think about Jeffrey Epstein? Okay. I just would say this. You brought up, well, we brought up Elon. I just think it's interesting. Elon tweets out that Trump's in the Epstein files. Two days later, Pam Bonney says there are no Epstein files. Yeah, that was interesting. Just saying. Just saying. Yeah, they seem to be a little bit like antsy about that. Like they really don't want that to come out. I don't know. In a world where that information does come out and say the president is implicated, what do you think happens? Do you think they impeach him? Do you think they do anything about it?

18:27Gavin Newsom:Well, I think this, I just, I don't know what the hell's happened in this country. What this guy gets away with on a daily goddamn basis, and the fact that in many ways, you know, all these guys that literally were outraged by the Epstein files and pissed off at Trump, they all seem to now be making excuses for the son of a on this stuff i mean i think a lot of them are just stupid and follow whatever their media heads tell them like if they're like yeah i'm not i'm done talking about epstein and i trust my friends in the government and they just listen to it and they don't know it's it's you know look it part of me is you know it's not my obsession but i i find it remarkable how much focus it was of the far right and now uh you know their own guys being implicated and all of a sudden they're finding excuses.

19:15It's going to be like a Democrat, like a pedophilia ring. Of course.

19:17Gavin Newsom:Of course. It's really just more of like an elite rich person pedophilia ring. Dude, there's so much, look, there's a darkness in all this and the conspiracy and the Pizzagate stuff. I mean, it's, and it's led to a lot of serious and crazy things. People acting on it, people being violent around it, people being lied to and manipulated. It ain't right. And I hope people are keep, I hope it, I hope the Epstein, I hope if nothing else, it wakes people up to how they're being manipulated and used by a lot of these these media folks and uh and how they stress test the information that they gather and they get it from different damn sources and don't get pulled into a filter bubble and that's exactly why i go on these right-wing shows it's why i listen to right-wing media media it's why i know the what the hell jesse water says about me i think it's like one of the most interesting things to listen to because you just kind of like see like you can if you have like a modicum of intelligence you can just like listen like oh okay this is what they want me to hear so i can like cross reference this with like actual information yeah but look i mean millions and millions of people are persuaded by what they say the bullshit and lies every single night and that's why i'm trying to fight fire with fire that's why i'm getting back doing all these all cap tweets and and you know ending them with thank you for your attention to this matter that's why i'm doing these ai videos i know suboptimal connor from your perspective which i totally appreciate and uh trying to put a mirror up to this absurdity and trying to break through in a communication that's trying to be, you know, have a little bit of humor, because with respect, Democrats need to be, you know, we're not the most, I don't know, entertaining or humorous folks.

20:50Gavin Newsom:I think that, like, I don't even think of it as Democrats. Like, it's just, like, politicians in general, like, don't really seem very funny for the most part. Like, I think that's why I like you, is at least you're doing something. And I especially like that it's, like, getting under Trump's skin. Like, he's obviously very pissed about it. He hates your existence. He hates that you're a guy. Yes, he does on all fronts. And he came up, it's funny, I had a conversation with him. Last time I talked to him, and it was an important conversation that I thought we were going to have. And the conversation begins with, hey, hey, what do you think?

21:25Gavin Newsom:This is Trump talking. He goes, hey, what do you think? You know, this new scum thing. It's pretty good, right? Because he calls me new scum. Yeah. And he goes, pretty good. It's pretty original. I said, it's not original. He goes, what do you mean it's not original? I said, I said, brother, literally in eighth grade, I was called new scum. I said, it's not original. And he was kind of hurt that it wasn't. He thought he had come up with something so original, so good. And so, but this is the president of the United States is 79 years old, acting like a seven or a nine year old. I don't get him because like he literally had meatball Ron, which was that hit.

21:58That was good. And then he like started to call him like Ron the Sancthmonia.
