Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. Well, earlier tonight on Shake it Off with
Mert and Lucas, I got the chance to rant about
Governor Gavin Newsom, who earlier this week told Ice, hey,
take off the mask, what are you afraid of? Well,
we all know Ice Agians are actually afraid of their
families being threatened, themselves being threatened. And I just wonder
(00:21):
where that energy to have people unmasked, especially law enforcement
unmask was when in twenty twenty California, different cities in California,
I remember the Hollywood Strip had looters in masks going
in and out of stores during the pandemic, saying oh,
we got to wear a mask because of COVID. Yet
they were committing crimes wearing masks. Where was the energy
(00:44):
against the rioters who were wearing masks? Governor Newsom? And oh,
by the way, it's being of unmasking. Weren't you yourself
unmasked at a dinner for fifteen to twenty people? Well
I made that observation tonight on Shake it Off and Lucas.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Uh, Alex, what do you think? Do you think it's presidential? Though?
I don't think it's presidential. This is not his style.
He was Trump style or is Trump's style, But he
but newsom Mert is acting and that's also.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well yeah, and he's also trying to say.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He comes off phony to begin with, Yes he does.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
But also I've noticed him trying to be trying to
get more to the middle, which is also a good
job of acting. I mean, there's a lot of things
that he's been doing since even where he's tried to
win back the right. Newsom who of course I have
to say this lockdown everybody only to have a dinner
with fifteen or twenty people unmasked. I mean, that was
the start of his hypocrisy right there. Uh, he's not genuine.
(01:47):
He's not a genuine person. Also, why is he walking
to the White House when Biden's away from you know,
the White House? What's he trying to do claim a
stake there? He just comes off his phony and very
very icky, if you will. Whoa wait a minute, wait
a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
That sounds like you got.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Something, Alex. Sounds like he got some personal against the man. Well,
when you shut down a whole state, a whole state
of California and then show up unmasked at a dinner party,
I'm gonna have a problem. With it. Well you introduced it. Wait,
hold on a second. You you introduced this, I didn't.
But who was the administration in charge when everything was
(02:24):
shut down? Well, yeah, it was Trump's administration, but the
states took it upon themselves to uh to and unlock
everybody down beyond that power. Why this is firing me
up tonight is because I did some research on another
governor of California, in fact, the fortieth governor who was
the only governor of California to become President of the
(02:45):
United States, mister Ronald Reagan. President Ronald Reagan. And do
you know the topic was about welfare reforms. But it
says in his bio governor Reagan worked with the Democratic majority.
Let me read that. Reagan worked with the Democratic majority.
(03:12):
So not only is Governor Newsom not embodying the former
governor of California, he's just showing how far divided we've
gone as a country, and how far left and how
far fallen California has gone as a state. There's no
unity in Sacramento because you have a governor saying, hey,
(03:37):
what are you afraid of? That's not unifying, that's not
the spirit of most Californians. I don't think.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Governor Newsom, maybe go back in the history books and
read that your predecessor, Governor Ronald Reagan worked with the
other side, Nancy Pelosi, though she's not in office anymore,
Maxine Waters. None of these people who are from California,
(04:11):
even Senator Kamala Harris VP. Kamala Harris, also from California,
they don't embody that governor that fortieth governor's spirit. Does
do they maybe to look back and see that a
(04:31):
Republican worked with a Democrat. Oh annoy me, I mean
sorry about Adam shiff don't wanna sorry about him. Another
Californian looney shifty shift. They're all have gone so far
away from that principle of bipartisanship. But if you just
(04:57):
look at Ronald Reagan's bio, Governor Reagan worked with the
Democratic majority. That's what we have to get back to.
And I call on Democrats more so than Repblicans. I
think the Republicans actually lean into the left a little
more than they should. Sometimes. They always want to do
the bipartisan thing and the left laughs at them. But
(05:21):
do the Democrats do that same kind of outreach. Not
always the Dems are the ones that says hit them high,
hit them low, YadA, YadA, YadA. The Democrats do seem
to be the ones that always say, hey, if you
see this Trump administrator screaming their face. But maybe this
(05:49):
calimtingent led by Governor Newsom could be less bombastic and
stop saying things like hey, Ice, what do you afraid of?
And started to realize your state was built even better
(06:10):
because you had bipartisanship at one time, and maybe you
have one leg up for California. You must look back
at the records of the fortieth governor turned President United States,
Ronald Reagan. I want to thank Martin Lucas for letting
me events because it was It pisses me off that
(06:31):
Governor knews him always thought he was high and mighty,
slick rick sly fox, but he's really a wolf in
sheep's clothing, and he's proved that every time out. He
mustn't have one leg up at the White House, even
though he toured it once. Spider was away for a
(06:51):
week and he was like, let me let me step
in there. If he wasn the what was that? What
was that? And yes, because he's from the Golden State,
I will say this. I thought maybe he did have
a chance to be the golden boy of the Democrat Party,
and maybe for the last bastion of moderate he could
(07:14):
be that. But I just happen to think that, uh,
there could be more unity and less thinking of twenty
twenty eight, because if there's not unity, there will not
(07:37):
be a twenty twenty eight. If there's no signs of
a Republican Democrat working with the Republicans, though of the
Democrat majority is always in office now, but if there's
no emboding of that spirit of bipartisanship, we may not
get to twenty twenty eight. And I'd love to get there,
(08:00):
wouldn't you.
All right. Well, earlier tonight on Shake it Off with
