What does Governor Newsom say about Trump's negotiation skills?
i'm joined by california governor gavin newsom governor great to be here with you you know donald trump likes to claim that he's this great deal maker and i negotiate this that and the other and it seems like he's never negotiated a deal in his life and that he's a deal breaker and we're just seeing across the board whether it's foreign policy or domestic he loves breaking things but he can't build anything
Yeah, I mean, I think it's such an opportunity for the Democratic brand to be builders. If there's one word that I think we would do well being associated with, it's this notion of building, not just rebuilding, but building and a liberalism that builds literally and figuratively, builds alliances, builds community, builds understanding and empathy, collaboration, but also builds bridges and roads and broadband and builds housing, which at the core is the issue I continue to say explains more things in more ways on more days around the struggle working families are dealing with, not just in California, but across the country.
Governor Donald Trump called the housing affordability bill the big yawn. He said that on Monday. He described it as who even cares about this housing affordability thing. And so the guy who was out there promising lower prices, affordable housing, you know, when you are able to bring all of his frauds to its logical conclusion and you call his bluff, you're really able to see that it's all just one massive con.
It's interesting, you know, he said that 24 hours after I signed legislation to put a $11 billion housing bond package to the voters, just literally months after we signed some of the most progressive zoning laws and permitting reforms in America. And I actually, no BS, I reached out in a bipartisan way because this was a bipartisan bill to some of the authors congratulating them. Hours, literally, I'm not making this up, literally hours before the quote unquote press conference where President Trump was gonna sign the bill, I just had assumed that he was gonna land the plane and try to take credit for this. Credit, only Donald Trump can screw this up, finally. He could point to a modicum of progress on, again, foundational issue of our time as it relates to the affordability crisis, and that's the cost of housing and related issues.
And only Donald Trump could screw it up. And I guess, honestly, like no BS, it's because it wasn't, quote, unquote, his.
How is California addressing the housing affordability crisis?
It's not because he can't lay claim to getting any credit. And I just, I've got to assume that's the only reason that he considers it, as you suggest, said the other day, that it's a, quote, unquote, yawn.
Yeah, and more than a modicum of progress in California, big news earlier today, some of the new statistics released, like the lowest crime in generations and generations. Talk to us about what a big deal this announcement was for those who haven't heard it.
You know, I think it was... I'm really proud of the data that just came out. I mean, the lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points on all of those with California derangement syndrome, the lowest homicide rates since 1966, maybe much lower than prior to 66. It's just the modern, uh data collection was 1966 violent crime last year down another 10.2 percent at every category property crimes robberies etc below pre-19 uh 2019 levels and double digit decreases in 2025 and by the way um paint a picture in some of the other states in a moment but it was a few years ago i think i was sure i showed up and with you And I talked about the fact, and it wasn't particularly popular, that I went on Truth Social, that I opened the first account, I think any democratic governor had opened on Truth Social, and people said, well, they were a little offended, why are you doing that?
I said, because I was so frustrated on this narrative around crime and violence that the Democratic Party was losing it to a party that consistently was failing on this issue, not rhetorically, not perception, but in reality.
