Podcaster Shawn Ryan let Newsom continue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I get it,&#8217; insisted Newsom, leaving unspoken what the &#8216;it&#8217; was that he &#8216;got.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He may claim he \u201cgets it,\u201d but he has a long track record that proves otherwise. He also rambles in a positively Kamala-like manner as he strings together a bunch of words that add up to nothing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" contenteditable=\"false\">&#8220;Yeah.

Funny how your \u201cevolution\u201d is occurring now that you\u2019re facing the unemployment line in November 2026, when you will be termed out. Also funny how he says these things on podcasts but has done nothing to change course.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have the receipts, Governor:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In October 2021, he &#8216;proudly&#8217; signed into law the &#8216;profoundly important&#8217; AB 1184, which allows children as young as 12 to be treated with cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers without parental consent. Only sexual reassignment surgery is restricted.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2022 he declared California a &#8216;sanctuary state&#8217; for trans kids, ensuring they can receive hormone therapy and puberty blockers which are forbidden in their home states, and shielding them and their families from prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>And in July last year he signed AB 1955 into law, legally preventing teachers from &#8216;outing&#8217; trans children to their parents. Elon Musk, whose estranged daughter Vivian, 21, is trans, called the bill &#8216;the final straw&#8217; in his decision to relocate SpaceX&#8217;s headquarters from California to Texas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Newsom tried some other antics on the podcast, as covered by our Katie Jerkovich and Jennifer Van Laar:<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/katie-jerkovich\/2025\/07\/14\/newsom-gives-tone-deaf-interview-about-illegal-immigration-in-his-state-admits-he-wouldnt-pick-crops-n2191634\" title=\"Tone-Deaf: Newsom Insists CA Needs Illegal Immigrants...to Do Jobs He'd Never Deign to Do\" target=\"_blank\">Tone-Deaf: Newsom Insists CA Needs Illegal Immigrants&#8230;to Do Jobs He&#8217;d Never Deign to Do<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/jenvanlaar\/2025\/07\/18\/gavin-newsom-threatens-to-redraw-cas-congressional-districts-before-midterms-heres-why-he-cant-n2191771\" title=\"Gavin Newsom Threatens to Redraw CA's Congressional Districts Before Midterms; Here's Why He Can't\" target=\"_blank\">Gavin Newsom Threatens to Redraw CA&#8217;s Congressional Districts Before Midterms; Here&#8217;s Why He Can&#8217;t<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Newsom is so infuriating to California Republicans\u2014and yes, even though we\u2019re outnumbered, there are actually <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DC_Draino\/status\/1629172587790999554\" target=\"_blank\">millions of us<\/a>\u2014because we\u2019ve seen who he is, we\u2019ve seen his vision, and we&#8217;ve witnessed just how destructive he can be if given power.
