Speaker 1 (00:10):
Have you ever heard the phrase holding on to the
tiger by the years, or I've actually heard it a
different way, holding on to a wolf by the years.
You ever heard that phrase, Maybe you have, maybe you haven't.
The obvious explanation for it is you're in a very
dangerous situation, okay, because you've got a tiger in front
of you and you're holding by the ears. But obviously

(00:31):
you only have so much strength. You can only hold
on to his ears for so long. Do you let
him go? If you let him go, he's going to
eat you. At some point. You're in a dangerous situation.
But at the same time, you have no choice but
to hold on to the tiger by the ears. In
a lot of ways, communists do this. They get themselves trapped.

(00:54):
They get themselves trapped because their evil nature is horrific,
and they can't lie about everything forever. You can lie
about everything for a while, you can fool what's that saying.
You can fool all the people some of the time,
but you can't fool all the people all the time.
I don't know if that's the same, but it's very
close to it. If you're a communist, you believe in

(01:14):
control because you're fighting a revolution and trying to destroy everything,
so you can't lead with that. You have to lie.
Lies are built in. We talk about that. Lie Lie, Lie,
lie lie, and that will work for a time on
some people to work all the time. The democrat in
your life. They believe all of them. But eventually people
wake up. For instance, remember when Joe Biden took a

(01:35):
little tumble on the stage. Embarrassing, I get it, embarrassing, terrible,

(02:01):
was an embarrassing moment. I got it, you got it.
But here's the thing. In the immediate aftermath of that,
his staff started to get concerned, you see, started to
get concerned because they talk with him every single day,
they walk with him every single day, and they knew.
They knew before he tumbled on stage that he was

(02:22):
not a functional adult, that he was not able to
walk and talk. They knew, and so what did they do. Well,
here's what they did.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And just to just you know, make sure we clear
the record. Here, he tripped over.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
A sandbag on the stage, and briefly he tripped and
got up, and he got right back up and continued
continued what he was.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
There to do.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
He did not There was no need for the doctor
to see him as it was related to the fall.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
America is a country that loves youth and vitality, you know,
which is why we have laws against age discrimination, because
we tend to favor youthfulness and the new thing. In
a lot of countries, people who've been in office a
longer period of time are praised for their wisdom, and
I think that Joe Biden rightly says that he has
grown very wise in his many decades in public office.

(03:16):
I'm more than two years older than president, and I
do just signed.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I don't want to have a fall.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
What if I do, I hope I get up as
good as he did.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
Yeah, people fall down.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I believe he tripped, but you know, I'm.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
Just didn't buy something that was sandbagged.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
But what what is this obsession?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
People are just I mean, I've known old people all
my life and I've never seen this kind of obsession
with you know, people being old and what the what
the hell?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
What the hell?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Everybody's getting there?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
So, yeah, he's just wiser than ever. Why are you
mad that they did what they do? It's built into communists.
They lie about everything at all times. They lied. Well
that works for a while. Until it doesn't. Remember, do
you remember, I remember how quickly the polls started to

(04:15):
show that the American people were getting concerned about Joe
Biden's age. Poll after poll after poll after poll would
come out, and it kept getting worse and worse and worse.
The Communists could lie for a while, lied to get
him elected, lied for the first year, eventually got elect
Go with the tigers' ears, Dome. Dome's actually a great example.

(04:39):
The Communists, because she's black and a woman, have done
the best they can to prop her up as being
a good candidate. It's how she was able to rise well,
it's part of how she was able to rise through
the ranks in California politics, from one position to the
next position to the next position. This is a woman
who can't even talk why because the Communists were lying

(05:01):
at all times. She's Kamala Harris. She's a genius, she's brilliant,
she's wonderful, She's this, she's that. But that was all
a lie. Eventually she rose to be Vice president at
the United States of America, which was obviously a diversity hier.
Joe Biden announced it, I'm only going to get pick
a black woman. He picked her, elevated her, and then
when he dropped out, hand picked her to be the nominee.

(05:23):
But it was again all a lie, all smoking mirrors.
She was a terrible candidate. Donald Trump stomped her after
they handed her two billion dollars to run, and a
new Emerson pool came out, not a national pool, a
Democrat primary pool, and Dome, the former vice president, the
former Democrat nominee for president at the United States of America,

(05:47):
is in third place. That brings me to a prediction
I brought up on this show multiple times, but allow
me to bring it up again. Everyone thinks Kamala Harris
is going to run for president in twenty twenty eight,
and she may. Don't get me wrong, she may, but
I say she won't. She is already nounced she's not
going to run for governor. We all assume that that

(06:08):
meant she was going to run for president. But Dome
has one more shot, one more shot to be the
nominee if she's already polling in third behind Newsome in
the rear, Admiral, I say she sits it out. She's
not old sixty politics, that's not old at all. Wait

(06:30):
four years, Wait eight years, hang around, maybe read a
book and try for it one more time. I say,
she sits it out. And speaking of Dome, actually, this
there's a story. It's gonna sound small, but this story
about Dome and jd Vance's kids is actually it's a
pretty good example of why the Democrat Party is currently

(06:51):
currently on the outs in America. And you see, here's
what it is. I've explained this to you before, men
and women, but I'm mainly talking to women, especially young women.
Everyone hates a feminist. Maybe you're flirting with feminism, maybe
the musician you love promotes it. Maybe your friends talk
about all the time. Yeah, you go, girl, you can

(07:14):
do anything a man can do. Okay, I'm not here
to talk you out of that ridiculousness. That's not actually
what I'm here to say. I am here to tell
you that everyone will hate you. Everybody, even other feminists,
hate being around feminists because they're bitter and they're nasty,
and they're nags and they're petty. And nobody in the
history of mankind has ever sat down and said, Wow,

(07:37):
I wish I could hang out with a feminist today.
If you choose that route that I am woman here
and be war route. Everyone will hate your guts. You
turn into a nasty human being. Listen to this story.
This is why everyone hates Democrats. Now, listen to this.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
So, when you moved into the vice president's residence, had
you seen it before?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (07:55):
No, I had never seen it before.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
And there was a bit of a controversy.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
I don't remember exactly what had happened, but I think
that normally it's customary for the outgoing vice president to
show the incoming vice president's family the house.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And we have three little kids.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
So I guess at the time, our kids were like seven,
five and you know two. I guess Mirabel turned three
right before the inauguration, and so now they're a little
bit older. But you know, they had never seen this house,
and Usha really wanted to show them. And so what
we actually proposed is recognizing the weirdness of the politics,
can ushould take the kids over and just show them

(08:30):
where they're going to be living for the next four years?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And they were rebuffed. She said, no, no, your kids
can't come over. It sounds small, but that petty, vindictive,
nasty feminist attitude is exactly why Democrats are losing younger generations,
not just younger men. Young women don't want to be
hateful and miserable and hated by everybody. Young men especially hate.

(08:56):
They have a natural disdain for this kind of nasty
st the pettiness, honestly, and it goes beyond just personal
things with people's kids. The Teamsters Union has traditionally been
about as reliable a Democrat vote as there is in
the United States of America, but not when the feminist

(09:17):
walks in the room.

Speaker 9 (09:19):
We had a general Executive Board meeting, probably around June
of twenty twenty four, and there was an event that
one of our vice presidents, Joan Corey, she's out of
my locals. She went to I don't know if it
was Emily's List event the day before our General Executive
Board and Vice President Harris was there, and so they
do a photo up line. So Joan goes in the

(09:42):
line and Joan says, I'm Joan Corey, I'm a vice
president of the Teamster's Union. And she pointed her finger
at Joan and said teams is better get on board,
And so Joones says, excuse me, yeah, team says better
get on board. I don't know why you haven't endorsed
me yet, so she comes back and she tells me this,
and I'm like nerve, like the nerve. Her closing was listen,

(10:05):
I'm gonna win with you or without you. And it
was like such a smug answer, like okay, and that
turned the majority of people in that room.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Offer turns people off. Young ladies, they know you're maybe
mad at me right now. The path to being hated
by everyone in your life is to embrace feminism. You
become a bitter, nasty hag who everyone hates. And so look,

(10:39):
they've gone that route, or they try to butcher up.
You know, they've lost Middle America, they've lost the teamster's union,
they've lost construction guys. That they've lost the blue collar
the Democrat Party who's become the urban elite party. And
you can't win elections like that. So how do you
win back the blue collar guys? Well, you can roll
Tim Walls out there like they did during the campaign, trio,

(11:00):
watch him struggle to load a shotgun. Or you can
do this cursing thing they all do.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
Now, we are in a basketball game right now, if
you'll excuse a metaphor, where the refs have left the
arena and the other side is just clobbering the out
of It's just punching us in the face, kicking us
in the and we're kind of throwing our hands up
and we're asking the crowd, the people of America, Hey,
do you see what's going on here?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
This is unfair, This isn't the rules.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
That we agreed to play by. Well, who cares about
the rules?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Punch back, kick back.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Dunk over their heads, and win some fucking power. Def
this and F that and f this. It sounds like
a rated our movie. Now. This is all very forced.
This is all about trying to be relatable to blue
collar guy instead of just you know, not being terrible
to everybody. They just say the F word. We'll see

(11:53):
how it works out. For all that may have made
you uncomfortable. But I am right. I love sleeping. That's
actually not true. I love waking. And you know exactly
what I'm talking about. If you've ever had a bad
night's sleep, it's not necessarily the night that's as miserable

(12:13):
as to wake up and immediately you know your day's
gonna suck. You know it's gonna be horrible. You're gonna
be in a bad mood. Your eyes are gonna be scratchy.
It's horrible. But when you had that great night's sleep
and your eyes flutter open and you know, oh that
was good sleep. I'm gonna be in a good mood.
I'm gonna be great at work. I'm gonna be great
at school. Life is better, isn't it. That's what Beam

(12:34):
is all about. Natural sleep. You see. I know there
are a bunch of things you can take to help
you sleep. They're all terrible for you. That's why you
wake up feeling groggy. Beam is natural. It's got a
bunch of natural things in it, like ray sheet, but
it's a cup of delicious hot chocolate. You go to sleep,
you wake up feeling great every single day. Go try

(12:56):
a bag Shopbeam dot com. Slash Jesse Kelly Okay, it's
time for Daddy Jesse to step in and have a
frank conversation with you before I bring Susan in here.
Gavin newsoon. I know this is not exactly breaking news,

(13:16):
but that guy is going to run for president in
twenty twenty eight. He's one of these people that's just
ambitions just dripping out of him, and that greased up
ahead of his He's a horrific human being who has
destroyed maybe my favorite state. I just adore California. I
know everybody dumps on it, but California's paradise. He has
a new podcast out where he's routinely inviting people on

(13:38):
the right onto his show, and they keep accepting these
invitations when he's obviously trying to moderate himself and appear
to be the very reasonable guy instead of the complete
scumbag that he actually is. This is all very transparent
and anyone with an IQ above a durabil can see it.
But apparently I had to come on here and say it.

(13:59):
Joining me now, Susan Crabtree, author of the book Fools Gold,
California Dream and now threaten us all. Okay, Susan, First
of all, let's discuss Gavin Newsom. For some reason, people
buy into this garbage sometimes and it drives me crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
It absolutely drives me, Sorry, absolutely drives me crazy too.
Everything about Gavin Newsom is performative. It's not performance based
from his college admission that he lied about said it
was based on his baseball prowess, to the launch of
his wine business with Getty Oil money. Even though he

(14:41):
cries climate change and every time he gets a chance
to to his political rise that was bolstered by Willie
Brown and his dad's ties to him all were handed
to him on a silver platter. So that's why he
thinks he can run for president via podcasts while his
states just in shambles.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
And we go into this.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
In the book.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
We talk about his CCP ties, how he let all
these prisoners out under false pretenses during COVID thousands. Basically,
he is directly responsible for all of the state's failures
and they've only accelerated during his time in office.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Susan, how did he get there? California? Yeah, it's blue
and you have to be a Democrat, but there are
many Democrats who run for these seats and tear each
other apart trying to rise to be governor of the
most powerful state in the Union. Said, how did this
sleeves ball get there?

Speaker 4 (15:39):
He was anointed. He was anointed by Willie Brown in
the power class in San Francisco. That's where all of
the state's top leaders come from. Nancy Pelosi was his aunt,
and his dad actually helped William Newsom, helped Pat Brown.
So Jerry Brown's father, they're very tight in with the

(16:00):
Browns from their time at Saint Ignatius High School to
private Jesuit school in San Francisco. All the connections stemmed
from there, and then the moneyed class and some bloodlines too,
So it's really, you know, that's they just basically took turns.
He actually tried to challenge Jerry Brown at one point
and got smacked down by the power class there. And

(16:24):
he waited his time, abided his time as lieutenant governor
until he was allowed to, you know, run for he'd
run for mayor first to San Francisco, then he became
a lieutenant governor, then he became governor. And it's just
it's an annointment in California, Susan.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
How did he do what he did to California so quickly?
It's not easy to wreck a state that's that powerful.
But I'll tell you, I have to go back there
once a year or so for various business things. You see,
it gets worse every time. It's just slowly going down
and down and down. What did he do?

Speaker 10 (17:02):
So?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
An Ata Californian, and I went to Washington, d C.
After college. I spent twenty three years in DC. I
came back in twenty seventeen, and that was right when
he was coming into power in twenty eighteen. The state
had its problems certainly under Jerry Brown, he was soft
on crime. Certainly, the crime spree was happening already starting

(17:23):
brewing there, and the homelessness was a problem. But it
all accelerated because Gavin Newsom, like I said, he does
not earn what he gets. He is not used to
having to perform, so he just you know, pretends. And
he even talks about this during his Charlie Kirk podcast
where he says, he talks about it the mask you
live in and then you have this mask on that

(17:45):
somebody puts on you, and then you fill in the
mask to live up to their expectations. It's kind of
a creepy concept if you really examine it. And it's
actually the name of one of his wife's gender justice documentary,
so it's not like he came up with that all
by himself. But yeah, he accelerated during COVID. He wrote

(18:09):
a book about trying to make and when he was
a lieutenant governor because he was ward. He talks about
how bored he was as lieutenant governor for eight years.
That said he was promising to make government more transparent
and get it digitized, but it all fell apart when
he became governor, and they couldn't even get the unemployment

(18:30):
payments out the door, and there was so much fraud.
It was thirty billion dollars in fraud, the biggest largest
amount of fraud in the state's history, all under his watch.
And there were people he locked down the state. He
was pushing people out of work, except for of course,
Hollywood carve outs. But he couldn't even get those people

(18:50):
that he was pushing out of work the unemployment checks
they deserved. I mean, this is just one of the
many things we go into, you know, we really examine
because I worked with Peter Schweizers group, the top research
director is my co author, Jed macfratter, and we delve
into his ties to the CCP in China, and it's
really startling what he did with that and why. What

(19:11):
we believe why he did that was to get his
own wine trademarked and pushed into China, and it was
a personal self dealing. This Gavin News whom knows no
bounds because the California media do not hold him into account.
We couldn't fit all of the corruption and self dealing

(19:32):
and bad policies into one book. It was hard to
fit it all because we found so many things that
hadn't been reported yet in the California media.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Did he fund a bronze statue of himself? Because I've
thought about doing that for me.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Don't we all want a bronze statue of ourselves somewhere
a monument to me. Basically, if somebody else makes a
bronze statue of you or carves you into Mount Rushmore,
you know that's that's an honorable situation. But if you
pay for it yourself is what we found. So there
he has a bronze statue of himself in San Francisco

(20:08):
City Hall. They scrubbed all the pictures after it came
out last week because we uncovered it in the book
and he paid for it. We found that he paid
for it with two of his own companies partially. One
was his plump Jack Winery and then another was a
restaurant he owned, and it was all in the form
of behested payments. And behested payments in California is like

(20:31):
a pay to play scheme. It is politicians are allowed
to direct charitable corporations to give to their pet charity
of choice, and in this case, GAVINUSM directed his own
companies to give to his pet charity, which was the
paying for the monument to himself.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Susan, thank you so much, Come back soon. That was wonderful.
I love my cell phoned company. I had to get
a new phone recently because you know, I have Pure
Talk and my phone port my phone was old, my
phone charging port was this wasn't charging anymore. So I
get a hold of Pure Talk because I don't want
a new phone and it's still I knew this about

(21:14):
Pure Talk. I talk to you about it every day.
But they speak English. They don't farm out those jobs
to a call center in India where you're trying to
understand them. They're trying to understand you. Let me get
to manage it. No more of that, no more of that.
Pure Talk is the American Mobile Company. Their CEO is
a veteran, fought for this country two tours in Vietnam.

(21:35):
They give back to veterans. They don't give the Black
Lives Matter burrihs and AT and T T Mobile. They
give to every garbage communist cause out there. Pure Talk
never does that. They save me money, and when you
need to talk to them, they speak English. Switch pure
Talk dot com, slash Jesse TV, make the switch.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
My message to Los Angeles is we are a city
of immigrants. We take pride in the diversity in our city,
and it is my job as the mayor of Los
Angeles to protect all Angelinos, regardless of when they got here,
why they came or where they came from. I think
that the idea that what is going on here is

(22:25):
chaos and we need federal intervention is just not accurate.
It doesn't paint an accurate picture of what's going on
here at all. And really, what is going to help
would be an end to the raids. For a city
not to know when, where, how or why rags take place,
you can imagine that the entire population of immigrants is

(22:48):
very unsettling and that the real thing that's happening here
are the egregious ice raids.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Karen bass Well, I'll said California itself, California's beautiful. I
freaking love it. It is paradise if you've ever spent
time there. And it is evidence that communists really can
destroy anything they touch. They really can joining me now.
Christopher Moritz knows a lot more about that than I do,
because he wrote the book on called Failed State, about

(23:20):
how you recoplace as beautiful and wonderful as California. Okay,
Chris Karen Bass, what's this lady's background?

Speaker 11 (23:29):
He's a maoist. I mean, I don't know how else
to describe her. She spent her youth in the nineteen
seventies involved with organizations in San Francisco that were explicitly maoist.
She was involved in another organization, the name of which

(23:52):
escapes me, but was in the same vein fellow travelers.
She made at least seven or eight visits to Cuba,
even during a period in which there was a prohibition
on travel to to the island. She has praised Castro.

(24:17):
She's a community organizer, right. She is feckless, she is stupid,
she is ideological. She's very much cut from the same
cloth of many big city blue mares that we see
across the country. She's kind of a more visually acceptable

(24:39):
version of Lori Lightfoot.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Can you explain how she rose to Los Angeles mayor?
Because that is a big boy position of political power.
She sounds like just a former street animal. How in
the world did she rise to that position?

Speaker 11 (24:55):
Oh, Barack Obama. Barack Obama h strongly supported her in
the primary and essentially in California. Of course, the primary
is the only election that matters, the Democratic part Democratic primary.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
So.

Speaker 11 (25:20):
To be successful in that you really need some sort
of institutional backing. In her case, it was it was Obama.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh great, okay, Gavin Newsom wants to be president really
really really bad.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Here.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
He was trying to be the tough guy.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Tom Hollan, the borders are said to me yesterday.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
He did not rule out literally arresting you, nor mayor
Bass if you interfere in.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
His word him.

Speaker 12 (25:51):
Yet he's a tough guy.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Wasn't he do that?

Speaker 12 (25:52):
And he knows where to find me. But you know what,
let your hands off four year old girls that are
trying to get educated. Put your hands off. These poor
people are just trying to get live their lives. Man,
trying to live their lives, paying their taxes. Inn here
ten years, the fear, the horror, the hell is this guy.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Come after me?

Speaker 12 (26:12):
Arrest me.

Speaker 7 (26:13):
Let's just get it over with.

Speaker 12 (26:14):
Tough guy. You know, I don't give a damn, but
I care about my community. I care about this community.
The hell are they doing. These guys need to grow up,
they need to stop, and we need to push back.
And I'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind
of bloviating is exhausting.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
So Tom arrests me, let's go. He really wants to
be arrested, doesn'ty Chris.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
Of course that's all he wants.

Speaker 11 (26:41):
By the way, I should we should sort of differentiate
Baths from Newsom. Newsom is not a communist. Newsom is
certainly not a maoist. Newsom is not a radical. Newsim
is not a revolutionary. Newsom is a product, a product
that was created by certain special interests, particularly some families

(27:07):
that had backed his entire career and brought him into
San Francisco's social life and up the ladder and failing
upwards as happens in California. Newsom is a pure reactive individual.
He does not really have agency. He responds to events
uh bait and very very adeptly. I should say, like

(27:28):
he's a very good actor.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
And he is, you.

Speaker 11 (27:33):
Know, in that sense, a completely cynical, opportunistic figure. When
he says arrest me, like it's it's kind of funny.
I think because it's just so obviously campy.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
In a way, he is campy, but he.

Speaker 11 (27:52):
Wants to get arrested because he he saw that when
Donald Trump was had that mug shot.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's sort of the thing that will live an infamy.

Speaker 11 (28:02):
And have you noticed that a bunch of other Democrats
in recent weeks are now trying to get themselves arrested,
like this Senator Padilla, who's a joke, who's always been
a joke. I mean he really is, let's let's say,
like cognitively challenged. He's well known to be such and

(28:24):
a lackey in California. I actually didn't know he was
our senator, to be honest, Like, I mean, I in California,
you kind of become like numb to to like, yeah,
the progressives are ruining everything, but you know, at least
let's go like have a cocktail or something. It's just
it's beyond a point of like caring because we're so oppressed.

(28:47):
And so Padilla, like I found out he was, he
got named. Uh, I guess it was a Pamala Harris's seat.
But you know it doesn't matter because in California, it
really does not matter how qualified or unqualified or intelligent,
or or that you are. And Kamala Harris is a

(29:09):
perfect example of that. Padilla is the next.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Evolution in that really a really dumb, dumb guy.

Speaker 11 (29:15):
But he did this whole big thing I'm going to
take on christ you know him, and got tackled. This
is what he wants, what they all wanted. And in
New York, now that's happening. The New York mayoral candidates
are trying to get themselves arrested with these like shots
of them all red faced and being held back. I mean,
come on, like just just stop, just stop to please.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Chris, I have to ask you said Newsom is controlled
created by families, certain families.

Speaker 11 (29:47):
What families, the Getties. The Getties have controlled his political
his political career, his career beyond politics, even his entire life.
And this is a relationship that goes back to generations
to Gavin Newsom's grandfather who was involved in city politics

(30:11):
in San Francisco and became deeply en messed with the
Brown family. All of them became sort of tied closely
to the Getty family through philanthropy, through prep schools, all
really centering around the neighborhood of Pacific Heights, San Francisco,
and there's inner marriage, you know, and it's it's like

(30:36):
it truly.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
Is almost like I mean, it's maybe this is a stretch.

Speaker 11 (30:42):
Of an example, but it's sort of like the late
Roman Republic where the senate class was all married in
with other senators and there was a kind of perpetuation
of their power through consolidation of personal relationship. So Gavin Newsom,

(31:02):
his career began when he started a vineyard and restaurant
in Napa called Plump Jacks. This was financed by the
Getty family. It was really only successful because of the
Getty family. When he entered San Francisco social life and
then San Francisco politics, that was also facilitated by his

(31:24):
by his his patrons in the Getty.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
Family, and they have they have kind of invested in
him continuously.

Speaker 11 (31:35):
Uh through today, and I'm sure have a vested interests
in him becoming president. So Gavin Newsom you should think
of as kind of a kind of a product, an
experiment created in a lab by oligarchic interests in San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's a great image. He's basically a drone, a humanoid
controlled by someone else. That's wonderful, Chris, thank you brother.
Come back. You know what I had for breakfast this morning.
I actually got the idea from my kid came out.
He had he had gotten some extra crunchy peanut butter
and he was putting it on a banana. It's a
great snack, so I'm putting it on a banana. But

(32:18):
I did. After I'm done with my peanut butter and banana,
I did the same thing I do when I'm having
breakfast tacos, when I'm having sausage mcmuffins, biscuits and gravy.
There is one thing that goes with my breakfast every
single day, and that's a male Vitality stack from Chalk.
Walked over the pantry, got my stack, took my stack

(32:39):
over three years. I have never taken a single thing
in my life for more than a couple months. I've
taken a male Vitality stack from Chalk for over three
years because I feel so good, my energy, my mood.
You want a twenty percent increase in your testosterone level.
You want your mood to be better. You want to
sleep better, you want to feel better. Join me and

(32:59):
have what I have for breakfast, not the banana. Well,
you guess you can have that too, chalk dot Com
slash Jesse TV about for your values.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
I mean, is eight years old too young?

Speaker 11 (33:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (33:18):
I mean, look, I now that I have a nine
year old just became nine. Come on, man, I get it.
So those are legit. You know, it's interesting just the
issue of age. I haven't I'm as I and there's
someone that's been so focused on equality broadly LGBT rights,

(33:44):
particularly gay marriage. The trans issue for me is also novel.
It's over the last few years. I'm trying to understand
as much as anyone else, the whole pronoun thing, try
and understand all of that. Well, you know that was
like the I mean, all that stuff, I get it.
This all this stuff started collapse on us. I joked

(34:05):
with Charlie about LATINX.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
You know, it's like he was created in a lab
to be a politician. What did he just say there?
I mean, he's one of the best at that I've
ever seen that. Hey, man, I get it. You know,
I under stand a nine year old LGBT I don't
even know does that work? I guess it does work.

(34:27):
He's governor of California joining me now Jennifer Gallardi knows
a little something about California, and that's slick haired freak
Avin Newsom. She's a senior policy analyst with the Heritage Foundation. Jennifer, look,
I hate to say this because it doesn't work on me,
and it's certainly the slick here only makes me jealous,
but that that doesn't work on people, right.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
I'm sorry. I lost it with the sign languaging. So
maybe sign language some people, but Jesse, I don't know.
I can't this little thing. I'm like, is he doing
the Trump dances? I literally am crying because I heard

(35:10):
that clip, but I didn't see it in the flesh
until just now. And I think, I think, what's his name?
The guy on Gray gut Felt tyrus or He's like,
he's signed languaging with the prostitute, a death lostitute. So
I apologize. I need to gather my thoughts. You know,
I go ahead.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
If you wanted to go ahead, God, No, go ahead,
go ahead, no, I you know.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Every now and then I get some gems on Facebook
from my liberal friends. This is always like my lab
right I look on Facebook to see I do it
daily just to see what some of my old cohort
are saying, and I'm sad to say it does work
on some people, because there's a response from someone I'm

(35:54):
just reading verbatim. Love this. If only the rest of
the country gave new Some a chance. I love him,
smart and quick on his feet. But when I travel
to the Midwest or South, damn, they hate him and
hate us. They call us evil. And someone else said,
he is effing incredible. The ability to call out the
facts and stats and just state the truth. I mean,

(36:17):
it's they really believe he is the next coming of Jesus.
Like maybe it is the hair. I don't know. It's
weird because they don't ever think about the policies. I'm like,
are they not living in California? Are they not living
under this? Do they not feel the pressure of the
gas prices and the cost of living? Do they not
care that their children are being indoctrinated? Do they not

(36:40):
care that he flip flops on every single issue. One
day he's hanging the gay Pride flag and the next
day he's like, I don't know, it's weird he's doing.
I don't know about the whole pronoun thing. We never
used it. He's busting up I don't understand. I think
they're so buried in their ideological views that they can't
actually see who he is and how he operates.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Jen what do the normies think about him? I know
what you and I think about him, and I know
what your friends whose snort lines of ssries think about him.
But I'm talking about the normal human being. He just
comes off to me as very used carsmany but again,
rising to the position of governor of California is no
small thing. He's selling himself to somebody.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah again, I think those outside of California see it.
I don't think he has a shot at the presidential
I mean, maybe he'll take the nomination, but I don't
see them as putting him as the front runner, because
I think most people do see beyond his salesman stick,
his hair, his sign language, and but what's said is

(37:54):
like he's even below I believe I saw the poll
Kamala Harris. I think she is the who most Democrats
want to see in the prime in twenty twenty eight
run and I'm like, oh my goodness, this is great
news for us. What I can't fathom is I've been
listening to podcasts. I guess he's making the rounds now
Ram Emmanuel, I'm like, that's your guy. That's the guy

(38:18):
who's intelligent, who can speak logically, who has maybe we
might agree with the solutions, but he he actually has
some solutions, I think. And so they don't want that
though they want socialism, they want Mandami, they want the
crazy extreme, and I think it's working for the younger
demographic of that party. And that's where the momentum is

(38:42):
in that party. The AOC's, the Mondami's, It's gonna be fun.
I guess.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Look, I'm I'd be lying if I said Kamala I'm
shocked that Kamala Harris is on top of Newsome. But
the setting that aside, let's talk about the trans issue stuff.
This is not popular. It's more than just you know,
men and women's sports. It's not popular to normal people.
It's weird, it's freaky. They don't understand it. It's a loser,

(39:14):
always has been a loser for the Democrat Party. But
are they so trapped in it they can't get out
of it? Because they can read pull numbers. As dumb
as they are, they know they're unpopular on this. Can
they get out?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
I mean again, they should, but they won't. I don't
know why they're sorry, I don't know how to turn
off these notifications. They should, but they won't, and I
don't know why they are so. I think rom Emmanuel
said that the loudest voice is not always the most
important or something, but that's who that's who they attract
or the loud voices. Instead, they're writing articles on how

(39:51):
to be more authentic. I don't know if you saw
the Washington Post article, is that you know the key
to winning twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight is
to use more cusswords and to fight like Trump and
to be trumpier right and more aggressive and more offensive.
And I'm like, the only reason that works is because
it's Trump and that's who he is, that's his authentic style.

(40:14):
And the other thing is Trump rarely curses, right if ever,
he let off that one f bahum when he was
talking about peace in the Middle East and says they
don't know what the bleep they're doing, which everyone kind
of was like, Oh, yeah, that's true, but you know,
they don't get it. They don't understand how to talk
to Middle America because they've never been there. They don't

(40:35):
understand to your point earlier that this is a losing
issue for them. They can't get out of their these
elitist bubbles that they've created for themselves. And you know
why they stick to their guns on this, I don't know,
because it's the loudest part of the party, but it's
not going to win them many favors. And you know,

(40:57):
the other thing I pointed out in a response to
the Washington Post article is that they if you need
to write an article about how to be authentic, you're
not authentic. And they can't do these long form podcasts.
I think we saw knew some kind of fumble with
Sean Ryan. I mean some people thought he was brilliant,
but I think most people saw like I did, it
was humorous how he was responding.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
He was all over the place. Because they don't have
foundational principles. They go wherever the wind blows, and like
you said, people see that, they go wherever they think
they can get elected as opposed to standing on principles,
so when they come against hard issues, they kind of
have to flip flop. They're trying to be everything to
everybody as opposed to these are our values. These are

(41:42):
founding principles, right. I mean Conservatives to a certain extent
do that. They're you know, we're all they're all members
of politics. They're all playing the political game. But it's like,
we know, hard work, discipline, freedom, there's kind of some
very genuine foundational principles that they can always fall back on.
It doesn't seem like the Dems have that. They fall
back on identity politics, which changes every week, so they've

(42:05):
got to change every week.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
What about JB. Pritzker of Illinois. He fascinates me, you know,
governor of Illinois. He's super fat, which I think makes
him more relatable, especially with America today. I think a
fat guy from Illinois could be threatening.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
I don't think so. I mean, I think he's un
a true Listen, say what you will. Trump's snowmail supermodel,
but there's a certain he was a he was a
reality star, right. There's something attractive about him to some people,
whether it's his personality or his sense of humor. Even
as as kind of maybe inappropriate as it is, there's

(42:45):
something that the American people related to. I don't think people,
particularly with the Maha movement as powerful as it is
right now, and as many sweeping reforms. As we're talking
about health as it was a cornerstone of this past election,
I think it's going to continue to be important. They
look at jab I don't know. I look at that
guy and I'm just I'm so turned off. I can't

(43:07):
even look at him. So I don't think he's a
viable option. But again, they never cease to his knee me.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Jesse, tell me about the MAHA movement. How are we
doing on all that.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
I think we're doing great. I think we're making strides.
We have to remember that these are incremental changes. You know,
the left will come and say, like, oh, Coke changing
from corn syrup to cane sugar, really that that's a
big win. And I'm like, well, it is kind of
corn zerup is highly processed. We've got huge subsidies going
to corn that make it an abundant kind of food
product that fuels all this junk food. So I think

(43:44):
we're making small wins. I'm really heartened by Marty Mcarey
and the FDA's focus on particularly women's health. I think
that's going to be a big issue, and if some
of the liberal women can get out of their ideological bubbles.
They would see that this is like huge, This has
been a huge gap in health is women's issues and

(44:06):
women's studies and HRT hormone replacement therapy and not sweeping
menopause under the rug or infertility. These are all big issues.
I think we're we might face some trouble in the midterms.
Are these potential liability shields for pesticides, because that's really
where people were strong against in the pharmaceutical realm, And

(44:30):
it's not an outright liability shield like we did with
pharmaceutical companies, but it will make it very hard for
people to bring cases against the companies that produce pesticides.
So it kind of got snuck in in a House
appropriations bill. It hasn't been voted on completely yet. And
then I think they're going to recess today for the summer,

(44:52):
so we'll see. I think some MAHA people are very
upset about that. But these are all the things we're
going to have to navigate through the actual You know,
the winning was kind of easy. The momentum, the excitement
Make America healthy again. It's such a great tagline. Everybody
wants to be healthier, no one wants to be subject
to food addiction and all these things, this kind of

(45:12):
biomedical security state. But now the hard work comes and
making the policy and really convincing the members of Congress
that this is this needs to be a priority, or
they'll lose a vote.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I always loved recess. It made me think about recess
in school. I had so much fun. It was my
favorite time. Jennifer, thank you so much. I appreciate you.

(45:48):
All Right, it is time to lighten the mood. And
dogs are there's something that gets featured regularly on the
show for lightening the mood, because don't they make us
all happy? It's not just yours. When you see a
video of a dog doing something, loving on some sick kid,
or saving somebody from a bear, puts a smile on
your face.

Speaker 13 (46:15):
Out out, come here, out, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I am glad that dog didn't catch the bear. I'll
see it them
