Tom Steyer

Relax, we're exactly on the trajectory where we want to be. That's what MAGA Mike Johnson is saying when he was asked a question about affordability and the struggles of the American people. Melanie Zinona asked him, so what do you make of the concerns of people who are struggling living paycheck to paycheck right now? People feeling psychologically tortured under this Trump regime?

What's going to happen? He goes, just wait until next year. The budget bill is going to kick in. The direct quote was, relax. We are exactly on the trajectory where we've always planned to be. Stay at the wheel, everybody. It's going to be fine. Our best days are ahead of us. Melanie Zanona then asked whether Johnson agrees with Donald Trump's assessment that affordability concerns are a hoax or a con job, to which Maga Mike goes, affordability is a real concern, but you see,

Me republikaanit olemme niitä, joilla on lasereja, joilla on laserejärjestelmä kestävän elämän ja tarvittavuuden kohdalla. Hän tarkoittaa, että demokraatit yrittävät pelottaa, että se on republikaanin ongelma. Okei, katsotaan, mitä Donald Trump sanoi Ovalta, Megan-Mike, soita. Se on konjunkti. Minusta tarvittavuus on suurin konjunkti. He katsovat sinua ja sanovat, että tarvittavuus.

Really? I mean, because you seem to be bringing the inflation up and you seem to also be having a jobless rate that looks like the great recession right now. And it seems that all of the people in your regime are focused on some of the strangest things in the world. Regression bringing us back to times when there weren't safety standards. And you have Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, says, you know, the real issue is people don't say please and thank you enough when they go on airplanes.

Ja hän sanoi, että mitä meidän täytyy tehdä, on tuoda takaisin 1970-luvun paikallisuuden. Nyt, kuka nyt, kun te olette vaikuttaneet, sanoo, että tiedätkö, mitä me oikeasti tarvitaan nyt? 1970-luvun paikallisuuden. Se on se, mitä minun elämässäni vaikuttaa. Katsotaanpa tämän klipin.

Okei, ja sitten Sean Duffy sanoo, että olkaa varma, että sanotaan kiitos ja kiitos, kun olet lopussa. Ei ole enempää pajaamia, kaikki. Täällä soittaa tämän klipin Duffystä.

Donald Trump's out there attacking the Somalian people and saying that they're garbage human beings. How about you look in a freaking mirror? And then you've got MAGA Republicans bragging about how they want to do stock trading and how important it is for them to buy and sell stocks. Because otherwise, how could you get good Congress members if you can't sell stocks? Here, play this clip.

Don't squeeze it too hard. All right, I want to bring in Tom Steyer, Democratic candidate for governor of California. Tom, it's great to see you, but Tom, you're a billionaire. That's not something that, you know, I think you hide or people will know that about you. And I'm thinking to myself right now, candidly, I said, do we need another billionaire hedge fund successful story running the state after we're seeing what's going on? And you're saying, look,

My friend and a very strong leader in the House of Representatives, Ro Khanna, gave you an endorsement and a shout out. Here's what he said about you. He said, Tom Steyer is for taxing billionaires like himself, for getting corporate money out of California, for passing single payer like Medicare for all and CalCare, for holding big polluters accountable and safeguarding Californias against extreme weather. Let's talk about

Suomalaisen terveydenhuollon, erityisesti tällä hetkellä, on suunniteltu päätöksentekijöiden järjestäminen 31. päivänä. Yleensä ihmiset suosittelevat Obamacarista sitä, mitä heillä oli aiemmin, mutta se ei tarkoita, että he rakastavat sitä, ja se on selvästi jo liian kalliikkaa ilman järjestämiä.

Mielestäni näemme, että tarjoukset tällä hetkellä tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden tarjoilijoiden

No Tom, is that an evolution of your thinking? What do you say to critics who say, I remember when Tom ran for president and he was running ads against Bernie and saying that I don't support the Bernie Medicare for all system and I don't support single payer or, because I've seen that pushback before and I'm sure you have as well. So has there been an evolution of the thinking or what do you make of it? I think

Yksi asia, jota kaupunginjohtaja pitäisi tehdä, on se, että hän pitäisi pysyä ylös Trumpin ja Magan republikaanien kanssa. Luulen, että kaupunginjohtaja Newsom on oikeasti diagnoostanut kaupunginjärjestelmän ongelmaa, että vaikka Kaupungin on maailmassa neljäs suurin ekonomi,

if it was a country it's constantly under attack and being used as the heel or the foil in everything that maga says to the rest of the country so one of the ways we're seeing then we'll let's get into this one of the ways we're seeing that is trump sending ice gestapo border patrol agents to to terrorize the communities here as the governor how would you handle

what Trump's been doing to places like Los Angeles and elsewhere, sending National Guard in and sending ICE agents in to harass and terrorize people. Would you do something differently than Governor Newsom? Do you like his approach? How would you handle it? Look, I give Gavin Newsom a lot of credit for standing up to Trump and to going online and to dealing with him every day and to trying to protect Californians.

You know, and that kind of brings me to, I want to, just before we go, talk about your business background here and contrast it with Trump's, because, you know, Trump tries to say that he's this great negotiator, but it seems that he's just announcing a bunch of fake deals that actually aren't signed agreements by anyone. And specifically, we see him getting outmaneuvered by China at every which way, whether they're

holding back their rare earth elements, whether they are hanging over the head of Trump, the fact that they'll just stop buying soybeans and produce from our farmers. By the way, these are things that China has threatened past presidencies, but it's not unique.

Just past presidents and past leaders have used their negotiating power of the United States from positions of strength to push back. And it seems every time China pushes on these levers, Trump immediately folds without actually playing the cards that the United States of America has, so much so that we wouldn't even let the president of Taiwan use American airspace, because Xi Jinping says, I don't want you to do that. So I just wonder from your perspective as a business person,
