Speaker 1 (00:00):
Political and this and former chairwoman of Massachusetts Republican Party,
Jennifer the Sewer is back with us. Jenny, Can I
call you Jenny now? I feel like we've moved to
that level.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Jen. Okay, Canny reminds me of Forest Dump.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I miss you Jen. Remember when he's staring. He's staring
out there in the field, and you know he's just
remembering her because she was buried by the tree. And
I miss you Jen. Anyway, all right, gosh, what a
great movie. All right, Well, listen, let's chat about what's
going on with President Trump talking about Gavin Newsom and
his performance as a governor and his response. I mean,
(00:37):
he's been laying into him about how his priorities are
all mixed up out there. We're going to save a
couple of little white tailed fish, but we're not going
to save human beings, lives and property. Yeah, let's reroute
that water to the Pacific Ocean. That'll be good. Wait,
we need something to put this fire out. Not we're
saving the fish.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I don't get it either. But I don't think this
governor is going to be budging off anything he.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Stands were out there, No, not at all. I mean
I love that Trump is, you know, calling him to
the mat and daring him. And you know, you see
how look you see how certain governors are reacting. I
unfortunately live in Massachusetts where our governor, yeah, you know,
(01:19):
our governor or attorney general are continuously trying to fight
the president, which I don't know how and our mayor, right,
I don't know how that works out for you. You know,
you see Gretchen Whitneer, who meets with the President and
is trying to work with him because she knows what's
best for Michigan. I don't agree with anything she does,
(01:40):
her policies, but at least politically, that's a smart move
for her as a governor. Newsome, on the other hand, look,
I mean, he's first of all the disaster with the fires,
right and all those people who lost their homes, lost
their livelihoods and are just finally I have a friend
who finally just got back to her home after all
(02:04):
this time. And now you see that he's spending Californian's
money on this rail system that was thought of and
put into action in two thousand and eight by Governor
Jerry Brown. And now this train, this high speed train,
is now costing almost one hundred billion dollars than when
(02:29):
Brown first proposed in two thousand and eight. It's now
an estimated one hundred and thirty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, and I thought that whole thing was dead. I
thought they gave up on that because of the cost
and because it wasn't moving forward fast enough. No pun intended.
But so that's back front and center in Gavin's little world.
He wants to get the high speed rail, you know,
running from north to south in the state of California.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Again, it's still on and they have they he plans
that there is. It's been generating money, but it's not
generating enough money. He claims that they have some of
the rail already in place. It's like, I don't know
about one hundred and twenty miles of it, but there's
(03:15):
still like, I don't know, maybe almost two hundred miles
of rail that still hasn't been built yet.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's like your state that you live in. You know,
there are pockets of it that are super conservative and Republican,
but for the most part, right Massachusetts, you know, California, Illinois,
you know, a lot of the northeast New York you
know has the pockets of Republicans. But I got to
think you know that even Gavin Newsom, if he is
(03:45):
going to be the lead dog here in so far,
they still want to put AOC out in front of
him as far as the Democratic thought on leadership, but
which is mind boggling to me. But if he's going
to be the guy in twenty twenty eight, I mean,
do you see any indication that he's going to become
a bit more centric and moderate.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, he's going to need to be. I don't know
how he does it, right. I mean, California is a
state of it's much larger than yours of mine. It's
over forty million people in California, Like you were saying,
you know, you have pockets like in Orange County that
are more conservative. You have the North that's more in
San Francisco that's more much more liberal. I don't know
(04:28):
how he moderates if he is going to become president
or he's going he thinks he's going to run for president,
you know he's gonna he's going to be running against
people like Kretschen, Whitmeeir and Jos Shapiro who have already
kind of moderated their stances in their states, and so
I think it's gonna be tough. I think it's gonna
(04:49):
be tough for him. Have you seen also?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Look go ahead?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Remember can we all? Can we all remember Gavin Newsom
at French Laundry, which is probably probably the most expensive
and exclusive restaurant in America during COVID, when he had
the state locked down and he was out enjoying dinner.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, I remember like it was yesterday for sure. And
I don't know if you've seen the crowds that are
now showing up for the Bernie Sanders AOC tour across
this country right now. But there's a lot of folks
coming out on this. And you know, Bernie Sanders was
on you know, Fox last night and talking to Brett
(05:30):
Baer and you know, just one thing after another out
of his mouth about how Trump's taking this country in
the wrong direction. And you know, he's an independent, but
you know he aligns with Democrats real hard, let's just
call it. But you know, I don't I mean, if
they're going to bring Bernie Sanders in AOC and then
you got Gavin news I mean, I got to think
(05:51):
they got to revamp this whole thing. And find somebody
that's you know, likable, at least by you know more
people than these folks. I appreciate your insight this morning.
Jennifer and sur have a great day. We'll do it
again soon
