Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

with people because there's a lot of excitement in some parts of California about Gavin Newsom basically standing up to Trump and putting out some videos saying, hey, if you want to treat California this way, we're going to stop paying into this American system since we're the fourth largest economy in the world.

He's not always clearly on our side.
