Newsome courts big oil as gas prices 00:00
threaten political ambitions. Uh oh, the 00:02
guy wants to run for office. How you 00:05
gonna do it if you keep hating on oil 00:07
industry. How will he pull it off? 00:10
Remember when Trump's like, don't forget 00:12
what he said factoring, you know, 00:14
fracking. Remember what you guys were 00:16
fracking? Don't forget what he said in 00:18
one of the debates that took place. Uh 00:20
not him and Newsome. It was a different 00:23
candidate. So 00:24
last year Nome stood uh uh before 00:26
Californians and declared that oil 00:28
industry that polluted heart of this 00:30
climate crisis uh big old he said was 00:32
lying manipulating profitering they're 00:34
screwing you he added after signing a 00:36
bill to bolster oversight. Months later 00:38
one of Newsome's top energy regulators 00:40
was dispatched on a plane to America's 00:42
petroleum h heartland on a mission to 00:44
plate uh the oil companies threatening 00:46
to flee California. and Newsome, a 00:49
Democrat in his second term and final 00:50
term, is making a remarkable shift in 00:52
his approach after leading a yearslong 00:54
crusade against fossil fuels, which may 00:56
have ended up being more successful than 00:59
he intended. California, often home to 01:00
the country's highest gasoline prices, 01:03
is now starting staring down a potential 01:05
energy crisis as the industry pulls up 01:08
stakes. Chevron Corporation moved its 01:10
headquarter out of the Golden State. 01:12
refineries are closing a K key oil 01:13
pipeline is hemorrhaging money and 01:16
Republicans are warning that gasoline 01:18
prices could end up at $8 01:19
a gallon in California. Newsome has 01:22
disputed this estimate but says it's a 01:26
top priority to bring down gasoline 01:28
prices of Californians. The focus comes 01:30
amid uh growing speculation that he is 01:32
gearing up for a presidential run in 01:35
2028. Tom, your thoughts on the story? 01:36
Well, first of all, first of all, to the 01:38
Bloomberg writers, 01:40
>> you smarmy little bastards. 01:42
>> Look at this. Newsome's top energy 01:45
regulator was dispatched on a plane to 01:47
America's petroleum heartland. They 01:49
wrote it that way cuz they didn't want 01:52
to say Texas. They didn't want to say 01:53
that Nome's advisers had to go to Texas 01:56
and make peace with people that they had 01:59
kicked in the balls. That's what they 02:01
didn't want to say. Bloomberg didn't 02:03
want to say dispatched on a plane to 02:05
America's petroleum heartland. No, they 02:07
can't just say, "Hey, they went to 02:09
Houston, Texas to talk to Chevron, to 02:11
talk to Exxon to talk." Number one. 02:12
Number number two, I honestly believe 02:15
that there's something wrong with 02:19
Newsome that you you couldn't have seen 02:22
this coming. You had refineries. It 02:24
doesn't matter that Chevron moved the 02:27
headquarters out. It was the Valero 02:28
refineries and others that that shut 02:30
down because of a bunch of regulation 02:33
and they said they're not going to be 02:36
there. And then I I think what caught 02:38
him out is the EV slowdown. If the EV 02:41
slowdown doesn't happen and he gets the 02:45
30% EV cars, then he doesn't need the 02:47
gas. But guess what? The EV slowdown 02:50
happened. We're trying to get lithium. 02:52
The president is trying to cut lithium 02:54
deals. you know, investing in companies 02:56
which I disagree with, trying to make 02:58
the lithium deal to make the lithium 02:59
available, which I 100% support, my 03:01
president, more cowbell, please. And I 03:03
see it. And so this is Nuome getting 03:06
caught in the vice. You know, EVs slow 03:09
down. Now he needs the oil. The 03:11
refineries are gone. You can't spin up a 03:13
refinery in 10 minutes. So, hey, get the 03:15
Red Cross here with a with a boat so we 03:17
can give give water and people to here 03:19
after the hurricane. No, you can't do 03:21
that. You can't just build a refinery 03:23
overnight. Um people like Dannis built a 03:25
bridge in about 48 hours to help people 03:29
after a hurricane. That's leadership. 03:30
But Nome is completely caught out. And 03:33
then Bloomberg can't even say Nuome sent 03:36
his guys to Texas. So I see two sides of 03:39
this. It's this is this is the way 03:41
liberals write. And this is why words 03:43
talk number scream. And you got to dive 03:45
into the articles to see what's really 03:46
written. But right now Nuome is pinched. 03:48
Oh, Adam. Well, let me tell you, uh, 03:51
this is the one way that Gavin Newsome 03:54
will win the election that he's destined 03:56
to be a part of in 2028. We talked about 03:58
how, you know, Hollywood, the movies, 04:01
you know, nobody has deeper connections 04:03
to Hollywood than Gavin Newsome. But 04:05
there was a movie that uh took place 04:08
many years ago was called Men in Black. 04:09
And uh, Will Smith would hold something 04:11
up like this and they said, "Look right 04:14
here." Boom. Flash. And it was a memory 04:16
eraser. And that is the only way that 04:18
Gavin Newsome will possibly win a 04:20
general election is that he wants to 04:23
completely erase your memory of all the 04:24
damage he's done in California. And if 04:27
he can do that, if it look right here, 04:29
>> boom, use his hand. I love your your 04:31
your person. 04:33
Look right here. Allah Will Smith uh 04:36
erase your memory and be like, "Wow, 04:40
what a great guy this guy is. He's well 04:41
spoken and he has great hair. I'll vote 04:42
for him." That's the only way a guy like 04:44
that's going to win. because if you have 04:46
any semblance of a memory and you don't 04:48
have dementia, shout out to Joe Biden, 04:50
uh there's no way you're going to take 04:52
this guy seriously. So, he's hoping that 04:54
everybody forgets. 04:56
>> I don't I don't care what anybody says. 04:57
Anybody says to me, I think 05:00
whether you like the guy or don't like 05:05
the whether you're going to vote for him 05:06
or not. Rob, if you can pull pull this 05:07
up. This is probably one of the best 05:09
interviews I've seen Newsome do. I saw 05:11
him the other day. He's sitting there 05:13
doing interview with this one guy and 05:14
this guy's asking him questions and I'm 05:15
like actually very good answers that 05:18
he's given. Go ahead. This guy you're 05:21
going 05:23
>> well. He uses his hand. Adam made a 05:23
great point Pat. I realized Gavin 05:25
Newsome he'll he'll destroy. Do me a 05:26
favor. Just pay attention. Governor 05:30
>> of California Gavin Newsome. Thank you 05:32
for being on the show. 05:34
>> Thank you Daniel for having me. I want 05:35
to apologize in advance. Just real just 05:36
really really quick. I got to I got to 05:39
let you know right now the uh the flight 05:41
uh that I was on uh was delayed. So, 05:44
didn't get that much sleep, but I'm here 05:47
now. And I I want to thank you for for 05:49
for having me. So, 05:50
>> my first questions are about the ICE 05:52
raids in California. How do you feel 05:54
about the situation? 05:56
>> How do I feel? 05:57
>> I I think Donald Trump is an 05:58
authoritarian. I think he is a tyrant. 06:00
He thinks he's going to come to 06:02
California and act like Hitler. Like 06:03
literally Hitler. Look at that. Who do I 06:06
Who do I find that? That's Donald Trump. 06:08
But guess what? Not on my watch. All 06:10
right. Not on my watch. Here, you can 06:12
keep that. There was a 06:15
>> pause it right there. You got you got to 06:17
give it to him. He's like just a very 06:18
>> fascinating guy to interview and the 06:20
interview actually did a great job uh in 06:23
the interview. Anyways, this is 06:25
fantastic. 06:26
>> We take what's going on here tonight. 06:27
This is the first time we're announcing 06:28
it because at this point uh those who 06:30
are coming, you know, uh what the story 06:32
is tonight, uh Eric Trump will be on the 06:34
podcast 7 p.m. tonight live. We will 06:37
live stream. Put in your calendar 7 p.m. 06:41
tonight. Eric Trump. Uh we haven't had 06:43

him on last year. Last year. 06:48
>> Yeah. Right after the election we had 06:49
him on. 06:50
>> Yeah. We got a we got a lot of things to 06:50
cover here with them tonight. And he 06:52
hasn't done a lot of podcast and stuff 06:54
for quite some time. He's been kind of 06:56
low-key for quite some time. We got some 06:57
things to ask him about. We got to ask 06:59
him about what Trump 2028 really means. 07:01
>> Yeah, 07:03
>> we we got to ask him about some 07:03
questions with Kirk, the investigations, 07:05
FBI, a bunch of different things, but 07:07
we're looking forward to it. And FYI, 07:09
