So we're just endlessly shoveling money into them.

We cannot have unconditional aid to any country whatsoever.

So that's the framework that we've been approaching it with.

I mean, yeah, Gavin Newsom is the, he's basically the front runner in all the prediction markets and due to name identification, he's gained from proposition 50.

Now, I mean, I have criticism with Gavin Newsom.

I don't think we should be like shaming anybody or browbeating anybody into endorsing or lining up and behind a candidate two years before the primary.

It's gonna be so nice to have a healthy battle in our primary.

Hopefully it's healthy.

Hopefully it stays nice, but we're gonna have a huge battle in our primary.

That's gonna be good for the party.

but yeah newsom's the front runner and a lot of people were mistaken like me interviewing him with me like endorsing him or lining up behind him i genuinely plan to interview all of the uh front runners and yeah i there's a lot of good genuine criticisms of newsome i will point out california does have the most progressive tax structure in all of america and i think it is insufficient the tax rate needs to be higher but a lot of people think that he's like

very very pro-billionaire he's like bought out by the billionaires and i agree the billionaire tax should be applied to every single state but it's worth pointing out there's a very progressive tax structure in california

Yeah, I totally agree.

I feel like I'm now, just because I interviewed Newsom, everyone thinks I'm like Newsom's number one defender, but I totally agree.

He should absolutely build a broad coalition.

I hope that we have a really, really healthy, great primary.

And yeah, I mean, there's definitely an argument to be made that he ceded too much ground to Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk on those podcasts while not interviewing Hasan Piker.

Yeah, I just, one of my problems is though, just to be candid, like I think that him ceding ground on these podcasts, now I am defending Gavin Newsom, shit.

Him seeding ground on those podcasts shouldn't supersede the great work he's done in California, making it a very progressive state.

It's a sanctuary state for trans people.
