Full Episode
This was a massacre and a masterclass. California Governor Gavin Newsom held a major press conference in Los Angeles where he called out Donald Trump in no uncertain terms. Now, this press conference was about bringing healthier foods within the Los Angeles Unified School District, but California Governor Gavin Newsom then touched upon a number of other very critical topics
calling out Donald Trump, calling out the GOP, calling out their lies about the shutdown, folks. This is how it's done. Watch California Governor Gavin Newsom talk about how Maga Mike and Republicans are lying over and over again, and that they are the ones who are responsible for this disastrous government shutdown and for harming America so much each and every day. Here, play this clip.
I don't think it needs any deeper explanation. They are lying. They made it up. And it just shows how, I mean, not only sort of desperate, pathetic to knowingly lie to the American people, particularly people in positions of power and influence, the speaker himself, not just the president of the United States, though that's just, you know, every minute of every hour of every day.
but it also shows how wrong they are and the overwhelming now bipartisan opposition to these massive increases in health care costs that are going in effect in January. And by the way, I mentioned 600,000 people in the state of California. We think that is a conservative number. We actually ran three different surveys on this to come up with that number.
We put that out, published that a number of months ago. It's over 4 million people that they conservatively estimate nationwide. We were looking just at the Anthem Bronze Plan. This is something familiar with people on the California Exchange, the Bronze Plan. Right now, if you're on the Bronze Plan, it's about $307. It's going to go up to $964. $307 a month to $964.
We're talking about 100% increase across the board in the aggregate, but some people are living with triple digit increases. This is jaw dropping and people are finally starting to understand it. That's why they're desperate to paint a different picture. But again, they're lying.
Next, California Governor Gavin Newsom calls out Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans for withholding billions of dollars to California to deal with the disastrous fires. Governor Newsom says when it comes to disasters in Louisiana or red states, as a taxpayer, he's happy, and as the governor of California, happy to help all states in the United States, whether red,
blue or purple but the fact that donald trump and mega mike johnson are not providing relief to california because it's a blue state is so utterly despicable watch this you know i hope it gives some some closure as it relates to some of the anxiety that may have been felt how did this happen who's responsible um can this happen again what lessons we learned um so at least from that perspective a little bit of closure
That said, it's cold comfort for those who lost their homes and are coming through the recovery. What I do say is that we need to really now, I think, call out why the President of the United States and Congress has refused to provide support to those that have been victimized by this arsonist and this devastation. $39 billion for months and months and months.
