Leader of the resistance will be, the same as the kind of old leader of the resistance, Kendall. Gavin Newsome, the governor of California. He has presided over a great fleeing from his state. Obviously, I'm one of the people who left his state. I'm a lifelong Angelino. I lived in LA for literally my entire life. And then I took myself, my family, my parents, my company, and we all moved out of LA thanks to the governance of people like Gavin Newsom.

How does the show frame the debate over whether President Trump should let Los Angeles burn amid the riots?

Ben Shapiro 1:42
But now Gavin Newsom believes that he has his road to 2028. Paved for him. He believes that because obviously we have watched a spate of riots in Los Angeles. First, we were told by the media the riots didn't exist. As it turns out, the riots very much do exist, which we'll get to in a moment. But Gavin Newsom is using President Trump's unleashing of federal forces to essentially help protect ICE agents in doing their job as an excuse to claim that he is now standing up to authoritarianism. in the United States of America. And so he delivered another one of his very over dramatic Ridiculous speeches last night. This was supposed to be the end of Independence Day, and he's Bill Pullman. Well, it didn't go great.

He started off by having massive audio issues right at the top. Here's what that looked like. Well, you can see that he's talking and nothing is coming out, which actually is an improvement because when he talks and sound does come out, the sound is usually stupid. But here he was attempting to talk. It didn't work particularly well. But then finally he got to his point. And his point is that we must resist. We must resist the federal encroachments. Now remember, what are the federal encroachments? ICE agents were sent to Los Angeles to do federal immigration raids, to pick up illegal immigrants and to deposit. That is what federal law says you are supposed to do. Now we can get into the politics of who should be deported and why and how and where in a moment, but it is certainly within the purview of ICE to actually pick up illegal immigrants and then to process them for deportation.

That is all well within the remit of the federal government. And then riots began, and the president was not willing to wait for Gavin Newsom to allow that to continue to fester. So instead, he activated the Yeah. And sent them there in a support role for ICE. And he also activated some Marines in a support role for the National Guard. According to Gavin Newsom, all of this amounts to an extra constitutional coup, the beginning of a monarchic America in which Hitlarian Donald Trump is unleashing federal forces in order to take full control of the American body politic.
