Trump’s Life Is a Big Mess After Newsom Delivers Public Beating

0:00I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple, everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong. Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99 % of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time. I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks. Don't learn the hard way, like I did. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. I wrote a little song to remind you.

2:15Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump did not know what hit him. California Governor Gavin Newsom has been relentless calling out Donald Trump, mocking Donald Trump, bullying Donald Trump, humiliating Donald Trump, but most importantly, acting with moral clarity and showing what real leadership looks like while also pointing out the absurdity and dangerousness of Trump and MAGA. So here's what California Governor Gavin Newsom posted. He finished his trip to New York City. He's back in California right now, but the mocking and humiliating of Donald Trump continues. In fact, it's increasing. Governor Newsom posted the following photo of a broken escalator at the Trump Tower and says, a real disgrace.

3:00Ben Meiselas:Escalator was broken at Trump Tower today. I've launched an investigation into this matter. Now, Donald Trump and his son announced that they would be bringing back Trump vodka as part of their grift in the White House. So Gavin Newsom mocked it right away. He says, coming soon, there will be Newsom wine. And Gavin Newsom posted that from his official governor's account. Then Governor Newsom posted this video, a golden week for a golden error. Play this incredible video that Newsom just posted. This is how it's done. Let's play it. Whoever's operating this escalator is in big trouble.

3:36Gavin Newsom:I said, well, let's see how we say that. I said, escalator, I'm really good at this stuff. And don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true. Nothing bad can happen. It can only escalator happen. All I got from United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle.

3:59Ben Meiselas:Then Governor Newsom says, fixed it for you. American taxpayers will bail out farmers thanks to Trump's taxes. The Politico headline read, Trump says he'll use tariff revenue to bail out farmers. Governor Newsom setting the record straight. Then in response to Donald Trump's post from yesterday morning where Donald Trump says, pregnant women don't use Tylenol unless absolutely necessary. Don't give Tylenol to your young child. Then it says, take chicken pea shot separately. Then it spells hepatitis wrong, hepatitis B shot. Governor Newsom says, never trust a doctor who got a degree from Trump University School of Medicine.

4:42Ben Meiselas:Now, in response to these right-wing accounts laundering these ridiculous and absurdist state regime media Fox clips where people like Kevin O 'Leary rejects from Canada go, California must replace Democrat leaders to survive. The better question for all this stuff is why is California rotting like this? The whole place, what happened to California in the last 20 years? It's policy. It's incredible bad policy. Then Governor Newsom, boom, immediately fact checks it and says, thanks to Democrats over the past 20 years, California is number one in business startups, number one in manufacturing, number one in agriculture, number one in venture capital, number one for Fortune 500 companies, number one for tourism spending, and for all those red states, also number one in hunting.

5:31Ben Meiselas:P.S. Adjusted for inflation, gas is also cheaper today, and there are 3 million plus more jobs. You're welcome. Also, California, if it was a country, would have the fourth largest GDP in the entire world. Also, California is a giver state or a donor state. It gives to the federal government$85 billion more than it takes in. In contrast, Texas is a taker state, a leech, if you will. It takes$75 billion more than it gives. But the MAGA and the right-wing propagandist playbook tries to flood the zone and bend reality. So I like that Governor Newsom, boom, is setting the record straight. Governor Newsom then posts the following as well in response to this headline from Politico.

6:25Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's U.S. attorneys, unvetted by Senate, move full steam ahead. Governor Newsom writes, Congress has totally abdicated its authority, no oversight, no accountability for the executive branch, all just serving at the whims of a leader looking to enrich himself on the backs of hardworking Americans and punishing anyone who dares call attention to it. There's a word for that powerful right there. Then Governor Newsom fact checks transportation secretary Sean Duffy, who got famous off of the reality show called The Real World from back in the day in the Real World Road Rules Challenge. Duffy, totally unqualified, incompetent, idiotic.

7:08Ben Meiselas:He writes, California is the worst offender when it comes to trucking licenses. According to FMCSA's ongoing audit, more than 25 percent of non-domiciled CDLs were issued illegally. Governor Newsom then responds, it appears the Secretary of Transportation is having a challenging time understanding the road rules. Because he was on Real World Road Rules Challenge. Unlike him, we'll stick to the facts. California commercial driver's license holders have a fatal crash rate nearly 40 % lower than the national average. And when you look at Texas, the only state with more commercial holders, the Lone Star State has a rate almost 50 % higher than California.

7:49Ben Meiselas:Facts don't lie, but the Trump administration does. Governor Newsom then responds to this headline from CBS, archives released too much of Mickey's, Mikey Sherrill's military record to her opponent in the New Jersey governor's race. Governor Newsom responds, the Trump administration has illegally released the private military records of the Democratic nominee for New Jersey Governor Sherrill. They cheat, lie and rig because they know they are going to lose. We're going to have to keep calling it out. Then in response to a Sean Hannity segment where he says, you're not Trump, Newsom. Here's my message for Newsom.

8:29Ben Meiselas:Maybe it's time to stop tweeting and start governing. To which Newsom again says, California is the fourth largest economy in the world, idiot. He didn't call him an idiot, I did. Then Newsom says, number one, a new business startup. Then he lists all of the facts again. Six of the top 10 US cities for quality of life in 2025 are located in California. We're just happier, Sean. Then in response to Ron DeSantis, MAGA governor of Florida, who was on Jesse Waters saying, Newsom doesn't want ICE agents to wear masks. This is the same governor who forced two-year-olds to wear masks during COVID. Governor Newsom responds, dude keeps poop and porn in his pocket.

9:13Ben Meiselas:Won't be taking advice from him. Then there are these great moments that Newsom had with Colbert. One was when Newsom mocked Donald Trump and said, wow, special promo in honor of the great Stephen Colbert. 10 % off the Patriot shop with code escalator. Tonight only. You're welcome, Patriots. And that's where he sells gear like Newsom was right about everything. Then Governor Newsom posts the following 41 lawsuits, a ballot initiative to stop election rigging a West Coast Health Alliance, real leadership on climate policy. California isn't sitting back while Trump tries to destroy our nation and its reputation.

9:50Ben Meiselas:Newsom says Fox News sure is full of a bunch of snowflakes. Newsom writes Donald Trump is weak. He knows he can't win in 2026, so he's dialing for seats and rigging elections. He has to be stopped. Newsom writes, I fear that we will not have an election in 2028. I really mean that in the core of my soul, unless we wake up to what's happening in this country. I have to tell you about this game-changing product I used before a night with drinks. It's called the Pre-Alcohol. Z-Biotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.

10:28Now, here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. So I first gave pre-alcohol a try when I was at a wedding over the summer.

11:03I drank it before my first cocktail and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning. Now fall is right around the corner. So that means it's time to raise a glass to your favorite team. Whether you're tailgating, enjoying a college game day, or watching Sunday's action on that fancy new TV, don't forget Z-Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink. Drink a pre-alcohol before drinking and enjoy great days after celebrating all season long.

11:57Ben Meiselas:And Governor Newsom posts this video. Let's play it right here. And I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working.

12:12Gavin Newsom:Your countries are going to hell. The wind doesn't blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad. The best selling hat, Gavin Newsom, was right about everything.

12:23Ben Meiselas:And then Governor Newsom has been posting clips of that incredible interview that he gave with former President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiatives. I want you to see what real leadership looks like. This, to me, is what presidents are supposed to look like and how they're supposed to act. Watch Governor Newsom right here talk about how California fills him with pride. And the people who live in California, by the way, like me, feel such pride in the state.

12:51Gavin Newsom:Here, play this clip. Just to set the scene, it's the size of 21 state populations combined. It's the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy. 27 percent of my state is foreign born. We practice pluralism. It's a point of pride. I say that because it needs to be said and you reinforce it here today. It's in that diversity that we have achieved so much strength. We dominate in every critical industry. Yes, we're the fourth largest economy in the world,$4.1 trillion a year. But we dominate with more engineers, more scientists, more Nobel laureates, more venture capital, the finest system of higher education, public higher education in the world and business startups, number one in two-way trade, number one in direct foreign investment in every category.

13:39Gavin Newsom:the dominant manufacturing state, the dominant farming state, the dominant state as it relates to hunting jobs. You didn't know that. Jobs related. In every category, we have no peers. We talk about the future. You're talking about what's next. California's in the future business. But we're also in the spirit of the video in the how business. And so it's not about what and why. And this notion of the future is what animates California. And the future, as you said, final words you said, word manifest. Future is not something to experience. It's something to manifest. It's decisions, not conditions that determine our fate and future.

14:21Gavin Newsom:And I think that mindset is the thing that defines the game played in California versus the game played in many other parts of the country.

14:31Ben Meiselas:Then Governor Newsom gives a little lesson in history. to Bill Clinton and to the audience says, you know, the interesting thing too, when you look at the environmental policies in California and who they were shaped by, it also was on a bipartisan basis. Look at Reagan, look at Nixon, look at what they were doing when it came to the environment in California, which is very interesting because the MAGA Republicans right now have completely distorted what actually should be a bipartisan issue when it comes to the environment. Watch Gavin Newsom spit some facts and give a historical and important, powerful

15:07Gavin Newsom:lesson right here. Play this clip. For me, one of them was a governor. Ronald Reagan established the modern environmental movement in 1967, year of my birth with the California Air Resources Board. And he did so because of the smog in Los Angeles was a business driven decision. Business community said we simply can't do business in L.A., Mr. Governor. And he established the Air Resources Board. Three years later was Richard Nixon that codified that under the Clean Air Act and gave California a waiver that allowed us to pursue aggressive environmental policy. And that's why California has dominated the national debate in this space.

15:45Gavin Newsom:What this president has done in eight months is jaw-dropping. What he has done to the EPA, what he's done to California's leadership. He's neutralized. He's eliminated under that Clean Air Act our authority to regulate tailpipe emissions. What he continues to do in terms of trying to stop California's global leadership as it relates to our partnerships around not only the country at a subnational level, but around the globe in relationship to our cap and trade program, in relationship to our other partnerships that we've established as it relates to carbon capture and direct air capture and the technology in the space cannot be understated.

16:33Gavin Newsom:And so we are, you know, we're the last, we're only game in town right now as it relates to large scale environmental leadership. And I'll just close on this. We have six times more green collar jobs, green tech jobs, than we do fossil fuel jobs. We're on the other side of the debate. And I think this is a point that should be emphasized. You talk about California more than I emphasize it. 67 % of our electricity grid is completely green and clean. And we have run, which is not bad, but get this, nine out of 10 days in 2025, we've run the fourth largest economy in the world at 100 % clean green energy.

17:15Gavin Newsom:100%. As of last Friday, 217 out of 243 days, 100 % clean energy. We're proving the paradigm, you know, the genius of and versus the tyranny of or. And I think, you know, there's power and emulation, success less lead clues. And I think California has been an interesting and a successful model in this space. And we're just trying to navigate this new space as it relates to the macro headwinds coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

17:47Ben Meiselas:And then Governor Newsom calls what Donald Trump is doing to our country economic vandalism. Powerful moment right here in a clip that Governor Newsom posted. Let's play it.

17:59Gavin Newsom:The thing that we've dominated in is the electricity architecture. And we dominated in clean cars. I signed the first executive order in the United States to require alternative fuel vehicles by 2035. That was just taken away by Congress, the supine Congress and the president. But we created the market. There is no Elon Musk. There's no Tesla without California's regulatory framework, Period. Full stop. It wouldn't exist. It was because of the regulations, because of those signals and the subsidies over three point two billion dollars, direct subsidies that that Tesla received just in my state alone that built this market.

18:50Gavin Newsom:Over a quarter of all new car purchases in California are alternative fuel vehicles. What Trump has just done, and with respect to some of the automobile manufacturers, is they've ceded this to China. They've ceded our competitiveness to China. And it's not just the electric vehicles. It's the tech stack that's part of these electric vehicles. It's the mobility space more broadly defined. It is an act of vandalism on an economic basis, not just an environmental basis. that is deeply alarming. And I hope people wake up to how China is just flooding the zone globally in this space. And we have doubled down on stupid.

19:31Gavin Newsom:We're trying to recreate the 19th century. We really have. You talk about what's next. It's not going to be American automobile manufacturers. Bill Ford may run contrary to that. He seems to get it deeply. I give him tremendous credit. Markable, iconic brand. But I cannot impress upon you more how proud I am. 60 headquartered manufacturer EV companies in the state of California. Supply, it was one of our biggest exports five years ago. And it's all about innovation. It's all about that entrepreneurial spirit. And you see, if any of you have been to San Francisco, half the damn cars are driving themselves.

20:13Gavin Newsom:It's here. It's happening. All the bi-directional opportunities, the two-way charging, the fact that these cars are little power plants on wheels, all this extraordinary opportunity. And it's slipping away because of bad policymaking and short-termism. So we're going to continue to push back against that. But I think from a tech and innovation stack, that's our biggest area of focus. There you have it, folks.

20:37Ben Meiselas:As I said, powerful indeed. I love sharing these videos because I think right now we need leadership more than ever. And I think Governor Newsom is meeting the moment. Tell me what you think in the comments. You know, I read all of the comments, even when there's like 20 ,000 of them. It takes me a little bit of time, but put your comment below. I love to read what you have to say about this all. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. We appreciate you as always.
