Sekulow | Sekulow - Tulsi Destroys Deep State Following Trump Order | September 3, 2025

(uplifting music)
00:00:01.042 --> 00:00:19.227
- welcome to "sekulow," once again,
00:00:19.994 --> 00:00:21.863
We're back and we got some breaking news
00:00:21.863 --> 00:00:24.566
And we also joined "sekulow," in the studio,
00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:26.401
Will haynes is in the studio as always.
00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:28.369
We'll be joined a little bit later by ric grenell
00:00:28.369 --> 00:00:30.004
And by attorney general of west virginia, j.b. mccuskey.
00:00:30.004 --> 00:00:33.608
So you're not gonna wanna miss that.
00:00:33.608 --> 00:00:34.676
We got a packed show for you.
00:00:34.676 --> 00:00:36.611
With our friend, former colleague
00:00:36.611 --> 00:00:38.012
And now current director of national intelligence,
00:00:38.012 --> 00:00:40.315
Tulsi gabbard went through
00:00:40.315 --> 00:00:41.816
And got rid of 37 security clearances.
00:00:41.816 --> 00:00:45.153
These were all involved with the "russiagate" scenario
00:00:45.153 --> 00:00:48.323
And everything that went down.
00:00:48.323 --> 00:00:49.157
Will, give it to us.
00:00:49.157 --> 00:00:50.692
- that's right.
00:00:50.692 --> 00:00:51.626
So these individuals are people
00:00:51.626 --> 00:00:53.328
That had some sort of connection
00:00:53.328 --> 00:00:54.762
To politicizing or weaponizing intelligence
00:00:54.762 --> 00:00:58.733
And what we see is that we know early on
00:00:58.733 --> 00:01:01.436
In the trump presidency,
00:01:01.436 --> 00:01:02.670
Even before tulsi gabbard was director
00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:05.106
Of national intelligence,
00:01:05.106 --> 00:01:06.808
They got rid of the top names that you know of,
00:01:06.808 --> 00:01:09.377
The clappers, the brennans, the john boltons.
00:01:09.377 --> 00:01:12.747
They had their security clearance revoked.
00:01:12.747 --> 00:01:15.316
But this is as a result of their investigation
00:01:15.316 --> 00:01:18.520
And finding out how deep
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:20.355
This widespread conspiracy
00:01:20.355 --> 00:01:22.490
To politicize weaponization went.
00:01:22.490 --> 00:01:24.659
And now that they're putting out that information,
00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:27.061
They're also taking action
00:01:27.061 --> 00:01:28.997
By suspending the security clearances of 37 individuals.
00:01:28.997 --> 00:01:33.168
And they are people that politicized
00:01:33.168 --> 00:01:35.904
Or weaponized intelligence
00:01:35.904 --> 00:01:37.238
To advance personal, partisan
00:01:37.238 --> 00:01:38.773
Or non-objective agendas,
00:01:38.773 --> 00:01:40.441
Inconsistent with national security priorities,
00:01:40.441 --> 00:01:43.511
Failure to safeguard classified information
00:01:43.511 --> 00:01:45.713
In accordance with applicable laws,
00:01:45.713 --> 00:01:47.849
Regulations, and agency policies, i.e., leaking,
00:01:47.849 --> 00:01:51.519
Failure to adhere to professional
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.688
Analytic trade craft standards,
00:01:53.688 --> 00:01:55.790
Also known as weaponizing, manipulating,
00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:58.826
Changing the intelligence
00:01:58.826 --> 00:02:01.062
To fit a different narrative than it shows,
00:02:01.062 --> 00:02:03.398
And other conduct detrimental to the trust
00:02:03.398 --> 00:02:06.100
And confidence required for continued access
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:09.270
To national security information.
00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:11.172
Jordan, i know that you dealt
00:02:11.172 --> 00:02:12.540
With this type of stuff a lot,
00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:14.242
Working with the bob mueller probe,
00:02:14.242 --> 00:02:16.144
Looking at things of this nature.
00:02:16.144 --> 00:02:18.313
And we've seen this pattern.
00:02:18.313 --> 00:02:19.948
This isn't going after the names, you know, necessarily,
00:02:19.948 --> 00:02:22.917
This is going after the true deep state at this point.
00:02:22.917 --> 00:02:25.820
- yeah, remember a lot of you know more
00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:27.055
About these bureaucracies in the fbi
00:02:27.055 --> 00:02:29.157
Than you ever have before,
00:02:29.157 --> 00:02:30.291
Knowing who the director is, the deputy,
00:02:30.291 --> 00:02:32.660
The deputy's assistant, that you can go on down.
00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:35.096
Same thing goes for the department of justice
00:02:35.096 --> 00:02:37.365
Because there've been some high-profile individuals
00:02:37.365 --> 00:02:39.667
Taking on those roles.
00:02:39.667 --> 00:02:41.369
But for the most part,
00:02:41.369 --> 00:02:42.670
The most dangerous part of these governments
00:02:42.670 --> 00:02:44.572
Are not always the political appointees.
00:02:44.572 --> 00:02:46.374
Yes, you have clapper on this list and others,
00:02:46.374 --> 00:02:48.910
It's the bureaucrats inside these organizations,
00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:53.114
Whether it be any of the intelligence organizations
00:02:53.114 --> 00:02:55.450
Who are the long-termers, the survivors
00:02:55.450 --> 00:02:58.987
Who again believed that they could leak
00:02:58.987 --> 00:03:01.823
Classified information without any negative recourse.
00:03:01.823 --> 00:03:05.493
Yet remember they raided president trump's home,
00:03:05.493 --> 00:03:08.696
A man who could declassify anything
00:03:08.696 --> 00:03:10.732
At any time for any reason.
00:03:10.732 --> 00:03:12.800
And they raided his home.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.901
It took his own administration
00:03:13.901 --> 00:03:16.070
To make sure that lower-level intelligence officers
00:03:16.070 --> 00:03:19.741
Were following the basics of keeping a security clearance.
00:03:19.741 --> 00:03:23.711
We're not even talking about criminal law yet.
00:03:23.711 --> 00:03:25.546
We're talking about keeping a security clearance.
00:03:25.546 --> 00:03:27.382
- this is, look, i think when every time someone says,
00:03:27.382 --> 00:03:29.050
"oh, it's a bunch of nothing,
00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:30.118
There's gonna be a list of names,
00:03:30.118 --> 00:03:31.753
There's gonna be stuff happens.
00:03:31.753 --> 00:03:32.687
Nothing's ever gonna get done."
00:03:32.687 --> 00:03:33.888
This is active, this is happening,
00:03:33.888 --> 00:03:35.890
This is getting done.
00:03:35.890 --> 00:03:37.425
People are being removed from their security clearances.
00:03:37.425 --> 00:03:38.960
That is a bigger deal than maybe you know of.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.629
- yes, because you can't use it for your business anymore.
00:03:41.629 --> 00:03:44.032
A lot of times these like military contractors,
00:03:44.032 --> 00:03:47.068
You need to be, your security clearance
00:03:47.068 --> 00:03:49.203
Gets you a better job.
00:03:49.203 --> 00:03:50.638
- so remember, certain things can get done quickly.
00:03:50.638 --> 00:03:52.440
This is one of them. of course.
00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:54.175
Tulsi gabbard was a member of our team here
00:03:54.175 --> 00:03:55.743
For many years before going on to,
00:03:55.743 --> 00:03:57.378
I dunno, become the director of national intelligence.
00:03:57.378 --> 00:03:59.981
Very cool, it's always great to see
00:03:59.981 --> 00:04:02.483
When she makes some headlines and takes some action.
00:04:02.483 --> 00:04:05.987
(uplifting music)
00:04:06.421 --> 00:04:09.009
(uplifting music)
00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:11.686
- our friend, former colleague,
00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:13.688
Current director of national intelligence,
00:04:13.688 --> 00:04:15.089
At the order of the president that, of course,
00:04:15.089 --> 00:04:17.859
Tulsi gabbard has ordered the 37 security clearances
00:04:17.859 --> 00:04:21.896
Be revoked.
00:04:21.896 --> 00:04:22.997
These are people that were involved
00:04:22.997 --> 00:04:24.165
In the "russiagate" situation.
00:04:24.165 --> 00:04:25.433
People were involved in a lot
00:04:25.433 --> 00:04:26.768
Of the obama administration,
00:04:26.768 --> 00:04:28.970
People that still had their security clearance.
00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:30.605
I don't know if people understand
00:04:30.605 --> 00:04:31.539
Even how that process works,
00:04:31.539 --> 00:04:33.040
That a lot of people retain their security clearance
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.109
Throughout, throughout maybe the rest of their lives
00:04:35.109 --> 00:04:38.780
Because sometimes they're called in,
00:04:38.780 --> 00:04:40.148
There's opportunities for them to do it.
00:04:40.148 --> 00:04:41.849
And then jordan said a lot of times
00:04:41.849 --> 00:04:43.117
They use this for their own corporate gain.
00:04:43.117 --> 00:04:45.286
Now again, nothing wrong with that,
00:04:45.286 --> 00:04:46.587
It's just part of the nature of the business.
00:04:46.587 --> 00:04:48.489
But that being said,
00:04:48.489 --> 00:04:50.024
Tulsi has stepped forward
00:04:50.024 --> 00:04:51.726
And said here's what we're gonna do.
00:04:51.726 --> 00:04:53.161
But this again, very different world,
00:04:53.161 --> 00:04:54.729
Very different administration.
00:04:54.729 --> 00:04:56.164
- here's also part of the problem as well.
00:04:56.164 --> 00:04:58.299
And whenever you see this line in an article
00:04:58.299 --> 00:05:01.035
By the legacy media,
00:05:01.035 --> 00:05:02.537
Just go ahead and click away because it's unnecessary.
00:05:02.537 --> 00:05:05.306
But they're already going after tulsi
00:05:05.306 --> 00:05:07.708
Saying that she accused them of having engaged
00:05:07.708 --> 00:05:10.311
In the politicization or weaponization of intelligence
00:05:10.311 --> 00:05:13.414
To advance personal or partisan goals.
00:05:13.414 --> 00:05:15.750
Failing to safeguard classified information,
00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.052
Failing to adhere to professional
00:05:18.052 --> 00:05:19.620
Analytic trade craft standards
00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:21.155
And other detrimental conduct she did not describe
00:05:21.155 --> 00:05:23.958
In the memo.
00:05:23.958 --> 00:05:25.259
Then they say the memo offered no evidence
00:05:25.259 --> 00:05:27.562
To support the accusations.
00:05:27.562 --> 00:05:29.564
First of all,
00:05:29.564 --> 00:05:30.932
She's been laying out the evidence for weeks now.
00:05:30.932 --> 00:05:33.768
Second of all, this legacy media
00:05:33.768 --> 00:05:36.838
Is the same legacy media that told us
00:05:36.838 --> 00:05:39.407
If there were layoffs at the cia
00:05:39.407 --> 00:05:41.476
And intelligence world at the dni because of doge,
00:05:41.476 --> 00:05:45.480
That that's a national security risk.
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.648
'cause those people that have security clearance
00:05:47.648 --> 00:05:50.151
Might go to our enemies with the information.
00:05:50.151 --> 00:05:52.820
- you gotta be careful who you're firing
00:05:52.820 --> 00:05:54.355
Because those people are gonna go straight to russia.
00:05:54.355 --> 00:05:57.158
- so maybe if the legacy media told us
00:05:57.158 --> 00:05:59.794
That there are people that are bad actors
00:05:59.794 --> 00:06:01.762
Within the intelligence community
00:06:01.762 --> 00:06:04.098
That are so easily able to betray their country,
00:06:04.098 --> 00:06:07.935
Commit treason,
00:06:07.935 --> 00:06:09.670
That maybe you don't need a ton of evidence
00:06:09.670 --> 00:06:13.274
For a memo saying, we're revoking your security clearance.
00:06:13.274 --> 00:06:16.110
And actually that's the prerogative of the president
00:06:16.110 --> 00:06:18.613
Who is the one who classifies everything.
00:06:18.613 --> 00:06:21.449
The classification comes down
00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:23.284
From the president of the united states.
00:06:23.284 --> 00:06:24.719
- people get their security clearance revoked
00:06:24.719 --> 00:06:27.021
For a lot less than what we're reading here.
00:06:27.021 --> 00:06:28.956
I mean, not just intentional,
00:06:28.956 --> 00:06:31.626
But just negligence alone.
00:06:31.626 --> 00:06:35.096
And then there's many people
00:06:35.096 --> 00:06:37.131
Who you would think would've no problem,
00:06:37.131 --> 00:06:38.933
Who get rejected.
00:06:38.933 --> 00:06:40.601
They go up the chain, up the chain
00:06:40.601 --> 00:06:42.370
And they cannot get through the security clearance process.
00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:44.639
There's also, as you said, there's one person
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.374
Who can strip these away immediately.
00:06:46.374 --> 00:06:48.409
There's one person who can declassify anything.
00:06:48.409 --> 00:06:50.478
There's also one person who can give a top security
00:06:50.478 --> 00:06:52.880
Clearance to anyone they want to.
00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:54.849
And that's the president of the united states.
00:06:54.849 --> 00:06:56.651
President trump i think has done that temporarily
00:06:56.651 --> 00:06:58.719
A couple of times when these business guys
00:06:58.719 --> 00:07:01.155
Have joined the administration and their,
00:07:01.155 --> 00:07:02.957
Their application for this could be 2,000 pages long.
00:07:02.957 --> 00:07:07.094
So again, a lot of this goes back
00:07:07.094 --> 00:07:09.430
To the presidential power being utilized
00:07:09.430 --> 00:07:12.567
To get this bureaucracy under control.
00:07:12.567 --> 00:07:14.669
And you've all wondered, where's the action?
00:07:14.669 --> 00:07:17.071
Where do people finally get in trouble?
00:07:17.071 --> 00:07:18.739
When do they lose their jobs?
00:07:18.739 --> 00:07:20.274
Lemme tell you something,
00:07:20.274 --> 00:07:21.509
When you lose this security clearance,
00:07:21.509 --> 00:07:23.010
You're not working in intelligence anymore
00:07:23.010 --> 00:07:24.712
And you're not nearly as valuable to defense contractors,
00:07:24.712 --> 00:07:28.749
That military-industrial complex.
00:07:28.749 --> 00:07:31.586
They don't wanna hire a bunch of former bureaucrats
00:07:31.586 --> 00:07:34.722
Who have lost the access into that top-secret world.
00:07:34.722 --> 00:07:39.060
- now, they may still keep their job on msnbc
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:42.997
Because they can wear that as a badge of honor.
00:07:42.997 --> 00:07:45.766
Look, tulsi gabbard took away my security clearance
00:07:45.766 --> 00:07:48.769
Because you know, i manipulated intelligence,
00:07:48.769 --> 00:07:51.439
I lied to the american people, et cetera, et cetera.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.308
- i definitely treat her like a boogeyman
00:07:54.308 --> 00:07:55.743
Kind of situation every time she pops up.
00:07:55.743 --> 00:07:57.945
And again, doing something that's not that uncommon.
00:07:57.945 --> 00:07:59.981
It's uncommon maybe in these big sweeping digital moments.
00:07:59.981 --> 00:08:02.950
Like i said, it's more uncommon
00:08:02.950 --> 00:08:04.418
That we have her out there on the news
00:08:04.418 --> 00:08:06.721
And that we have her putting up a youtube video
00:08:06.721 --> 00:08:08.956
Talking about it.
00:08:08.956 --> 00:08:10.324
And it's more, but that has been the transparency
00:08:10.324 --> 00:08:12.360
Of not just this administration, but of tulsi
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.929
Since the beginning is, which is,
00:08:14.929 --> 00:08:16.163
I'm going to tell you what i'm doing
00:08:16.163 --> 00:08:17.565
And why i'm doing it.
00:08:17.565 --> 00:08:18.866
- what i think tulsi is great for this position
00:08:18.866 --> 00:08:21.335
And in the intel world is
00:08:21.335 --> 00:08:22.603
We know how much she loves our country.
00:08:22.603 --> 00:08:24.405
She served and continues that service
00:08:24.405 --> 00:08:27.375
As long as possible, has done that throughout her career.
00:08:27.375 --> 00:08:30.711
Didn't retire from reserves
00:08:30.711 --> 00:08:32.413
While she was a member of congress or running for president.
00:08:32.413 --> 00:08:34.982
And in the current position, i'm not sure how that works
00:08:34.982 --> 00:08:37.518
When you're a cabinet secretary,
00:08:37.518 --> 00:08:38.953
But i know she still does a lot with the troops
00:08:38.953 --> 00:08:41.288
She's linked to.
00:08:41.288 --> 00:08:42.256
The bottom line is her demeanor
00:08:42.256 --> 00:08:45.826
Is the right person that balances with trump,
00:08:45.826 --> 00:08:49.597
With president trump.
00:08:49.597 --> 00:08:50.665
So president trump, you know,
00:08:50.665 --> 00:08:51.899
We're getting rid of these 37 people,
00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:53.367
Whereas tulsi gabbard can thoughtfully walk through
00:08:53.367 --> 00:08:56.437
Why these 37 people should not have this access
00:08:56.437 --> 00:08:59.874
And the reasons why they take these steps.
00:08:59.874 --> 00:09:02.743
And she does it in a way that i think is very serious
00:09:02.743 --> 00:09:06.180
About someone who cares little about partisan politics
00:09:06.180 --> 00:09:09.116
And much more about the united states of america.
00:09:09.116 --> 00:09:11.619
- well, and to your point as well, logan,
00:09:11.619 --> 00:09:13.154
How she seems to be this boogeyman.
00:09:13.154 --> 00:09:14.889
I think her calmness in the face of all the vitriol
00:09:14.889 --> 00:09:20.161
That they will spew at her,
00:09:20.761 --> 00:09:22.063
I think is what makes her more scary to them,
00:09:22.063 --> 00:09:24.298
Is knowing that she wants to get the job done
00:09:24.298 --> 00:09:26.767
And she's gonna do it with precision.
00:09:26.767 --> 00:09:28.869
And i feel like they feel like they can go after trump
00:09:28.869 --> 00:09:31.939
Maybe a little bit more because he is bombastic.
00:09:31.939 --> 00:09:34.208
He loves the rhetorical joust.
00:09:34.208 --> 00:09:36.677
But with tulsi gabbard, she's very clear.
00:09:36.677 --> 00:09:39.947
She remains calm and she is decisive in her actions.
00:09:39.947 --> 00:09:44.118
And i think that probably scares them more
00:09:44.118 --> 00:09:46.153
To some degree because now she's going after people
00:09:46.153 --> 00:09:49.190
That fed the american people this lie,
00:09:49.190 --> 00:09:51.759
They weaponized our intelligence apparatus
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.528
Against the american people,
00:09:54.528 --> 00:09:56.530
That we can't lose sight of that.
00:09:56.530 --> 00:09:59.200
These people work for us.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.435
These are members of the government.
00:10:01.435 --> 00:10:03.170
The bureaucracy somehow thinks
00:10:03.170 --> 00:10:05.239
That they're above the american people
00:10:05.239 --> 00:10:07.875
And that they are above the president even.
00:10:07.875 --> 00:10:10.377
They're not.
00:10:10.377 --> 00:10:11.746
They work for us and there have to be consequences.
00:10:11.746 --> 00:10:14.381
And now they're doing it.
00:10:14.381 --> 00:10:15.783
And this is a great day for the united states.
00:10:15.783 --> 00:10:17.818
- now we're gonna be joined by attorney general
00:10:17.818 --> 00:10:19.153
Of west virginia, good friend j.b. mccuskey.
00:10:19.153 --> 00:10:22.289
J.b., i'm gonna kick it over to some of these guys
00:10:22.289 --> 00:10:24.225
'cause there's been a lot of news
00:10:24.225 --> 00:10:25.526
About what's been going on in washington d.c.
00:10:25.526 --> 00:10:27.561
And calling up on the national guard
00:10:27.561 --> 00:10:28.963
And what that means and what it looks like.
00:10:28.963 --> 00:10:30.197
And we thought having someone like you
00:10:30.197 --> 00:10:32.032
Who obviously has a part to play in that
00:10:32.032 --> 00:10:34.668
Would be a good voice to hear from.
00:10:34.668 --> 00:10:36.570
But will, why don't you kind of set us up.
00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:38.906
- that's right.
00:10:38.906 --> 00:10:39.907
So the state of west virginia
00:10:39.907 --> 00:10:41.842
Has authorized some national guard troops
00:10:41.842 --> 00:10:44.478
To go and assist the d.c. national guard
00:10:44.478 --> 00:10:47.014
In their law enforcement operation
00:10:47.014 --> 00:10:49.817
That president trump has authorized.
00:10:49.817 --> 00:10:52.153
You as a top law enforcement official
00:10:52.153 --> 00:10:54.388
In the state of west virginia,
00:10:54.388 --> 00:10:55.890
I know you care a lot about law and order,
00:10:55.890 --> 00:10:57.691
About the rule of law,
00:10:57.691 --> 00:10:59.093
But why is it important that we see, one,
00:10:59.093 --> 00:11:02.163
Both states with republican leadership
00:11:02.163 --> 00:11:04.298
That are willing to send national guard
00:11:04.298 --> 00:11:06.200
To assist with this,
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:07.434
But why is it important as a nation
00:11:07.434 --> 00:11:09.537
Not just to individual states
00:11:09.537 --> 00:11:11.105
That we see this mission come to fruition?
00:11:11.105 --> 00:11:14.375
- yeah, so i think the first thing,
00:11:14.375 --> 00:11:16.143
And thank you guys for having me,
00:11:16.143 --> 00:11:17.411
Obviously it's great to see both of you.
00:11:17.411 --> 00:11:19.647
What's important to note is that the national guard
00:11:19.647 --> 00:11:22.616
Has a dual role and one of their two constitutional roles
00:11:22.616 --> 00:11:26.754
Is precisely what is happening right now.
00:11:26.754 --> 00:11:28.989
When the president has asked for these guards troops
00:11:28.989 --> 00:11:32.359
To come in and work in a cleanup environment.
00:11:32.359 --> 00:11:35.696
Everyone understands that washington d.c.
00:11:36.564 --> 00:11:38.799
Is a super interesting and great place to take school trips
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.670
And to take your family.
00:11:42.670 --> 00:11:44.071
But it is also the seat of our federal government
00:11:44.071 --> 00:11:46.707
And it is the place where the business
00:11:46.707 --> 00:11:48.509
Of our country has to be done.
00:11:48.509 --> 00:11:50.578
And it is the place where every citizen of this country
00:11:50.578 --> 00:11:53.647
Needs to feel safe and welcome
00:11:53.647 --> 00:11:56.283
In order to conduct their business
00:11:56.283 --> 00:11:57.885
With the government that they have elected.
00:11:57.885 --> 00:11:59.820
And so what president trump is saying here
00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:02.289
Is that this city, washington, d.c.
00:12:02.289 --> 00:12:05.025
And you know, i've lived in d.c. with you guys
00:12:05.025 --> 00:12:07.661
In various times in my life,
00:12:07.661 --> 00:12:09.763
It must be a place where every american person
00:12:09.763 --> 00:12:13.267
Feels safe and welcome to come
00:12:13.267 --> 00:12:15.336
And hold their government accountable.
00:12:15.336 --> 00:12:17.338
That is part of the american experience, right?
00:12:17.338 --> 00:12:20.241
There's maybe no other more important thing
00:12:20.241 --> 00:12:22.643
That d.c. can do than that.
00:12:22.643 --> 00:12:24.445
And so he felt, and it appears that the mayor
00:12:24.445 --> 00:12:27.248
And the police chief there in d.c. agree
00:12:27.248 --> 00:12:30.484
That some added resources, some added law enforcement folks
00:12:30.484 --> 00:12:35.322
On the streets of d.c. would go a long way
00:12:35.322 --> 00:12:37.958
To getting them a real kickstart into cleaning d.c. up
00:12:37.958 --> 00:12:41.228
And turning it into the beautiful, amazing city
00:12:41.228 --> 00:12:43.163
That we all know that it can be.
00:12:43.163 --> 00:12:45.132
It's also important to note that west virginia's
00:12:45.132 --> 00:12:46.967
Eastern border is only about 30 miles from d.c.
00:12:46.967 --> 00:12:50.537
We have thousands of west virginia residents
00:12:50.537 --> 00:12:52.406
Who ride the train or drive in every day
00:12:52.406 --> 00:12:54.808
To work in the district of columbia.
00:12:54.808 --> 00:12:56.176
So there is a pretty significant nexus
00:12:56.176 --> 00:12:58.412
Between west virginia and the district of columbia
00:12:58.412 --> 00:13:00.781
And why our guards troops would've been and are
00:13:00.781 --> 00:13:03.617
A very reasonable pot of law enforcement folks
00:13:03.617 --> 00:13:07.721
To dip into.
00:13:07.721 --> 00:13:09.056
And we have somewhere in the neighborhood of
00:13:09.056 --> 00:13:10.324
6,800 guardsmen here in west virginia and women.
00:13:10.324 --> 00:13:14.194
And so this is a very, very small portion of that.
00:13:14.194 --> 00:13:17.264
And obviously if any kind of natural disaster comes up,
00:13:17.264 --> 00:13:20.200
They'll head right back home
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.403
And take care of their other duties as guards people.
00:13:22.403 --> 00:13:25.172
- you also have some news, some big news
00:13:25.172 --> 00:13:27.174
Because this is something i remember talking to you about
00:13:27.174 --> 00:13:29.710
In between the time you were elected,
00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:31.745
Even when you were running for office
00:13:31.745 --> 00:13:33.480
And ran for this office and then after you won
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.051
And then even on inauguration day,
00:13:37.051 --> 00:13:39.553
The opioid crisis in west virginia
00:13:39.553 --> 00:13:42.556
And you as attorney general and your team
00:13:42.556 --> 00:13:44.992
Are taking action directly against those
00:13:44.992 --> 00:13:47.828
Who are responsible for the loss of so many lives,
00:13:47.828 --> 00:13:50.698
For the addiction of so many people
00:13:50.698 --> 00:13:52.566
And just families ruined.
00:13:52.566 --> 00:13:53.901
Tell people about how west virginia
00:13:53.901 --> 00:13:56.003
And your office as attorney general is taking action.
00:13:56.003 --> 00:13:59.940
- yeah, so to everybody out there
00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:02.443
And the opioid crisis is not limited
00:14:02.443 --> 00:14:05.746
To places like west virginia.
00:14:05.746 --> 00:14:07.047
Sometimes if you're here it feels like it
00:14:07.047 --> 00:14:09.049
Because we have, you know, a myriad of other problems.
00:14:09.049 --> 00:14:11.285
But the opioid crisis has affected families
00:14:11.285 --> 00:14:14.054
Throughout this country,
00:14:14.054 --> 00:14:15.356
Whether they're rich or poor or black or white
00:14:15.356 --> 00:14:17.758
Or christian or jewish or you name it.
00:14:17.758 --> 00:14:19.960
The opioid crisis has affected communities
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.030
And families and children all over this country
00:14:23.030 --> 00:14:25.432
And in no other place was it more prevalent than here.
00:14:25.432 --> 00:14:28.268
And we have sued as of yesterday a company
00:14:28.268 --> 00:14:31.305
Called express scripts,
00:14:31.305 --> 00:14:32.806
Which is a pharmacy benefit manager.
00:14:32.806 --> 00:14:35.209
And what pharmacy benefit managers essentially are,
00:14:35.209 --> 00:14:37.277
Is the middleman between pharmaceutical companies
00:14:37.277 --> 00:14:40.214
And insurance companies and pharmacies.
00:14:40.214 --> 00:14:43.117
And so what express scripts had a very unique ability
00:14:43.117 --> 00:14:47.154
To do was they were the only ones that had the data.
00:14:47.154 --> 00:14:50.124
They knew which doctors were prescribing these pills,
00:14:50.124 --> 00:14:52.659
Which pharmacies were dispensing them,
00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:54.194
And which patients and how many of these pills
00:14:54.194 --> 00:14:56.663
Were being dispensed in what locations.
00:14:56.663 --> 00:14:58.465
And instead of taking that very, very unique perspective
00:14:58.465 --> 00:15:01.935
And seeing at very early stages
00:15:01.935 --> 00:15:04.438
That these drugs were being over-prescribed
00:15:04.438 --> 00:15:07.408
And prescribed in ways that were noticeably dangerous,
00:15:07.408 --> 00:15:10.177
Instead of saying, "hey, we need to pump the brakes here."
00:15:10.177 --> 00:15:14.314
They actually, and what we believe is
00:15:14.314 --> 00:15:16.316
That they doubled down on the marketing aspects
00:15:16.316 --> 00:15:18.652
Of these drugs, moved them up in the formulary
00:15:18.652 --> 00:15:21.088
So that they'd be marketed more,
00:15:21.088 --> 00:15:22.656
Added rebate schedules so that people would get paid more
00:15:22.656 --> 00:15:26.360
For prescribing these drugs.
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:27.995
And thus we're one of the main architects,
00:15:27.995 --> 00:15:30.564
If not the most important player in the explosion
00:15:30.564 --> 00:15:34.334
Of these drugs in the coal and other communities
00:15:34.334 --> 00:15:37.037
Here in west virginia.
00:15:37.037 --> 00:15:38.138
And so we filed a 200-page lawsuit
00:15:38.138 --> 00:15:41.408
And we're really excited to get started
00:15:41.408 --> 00:15:43.977
Holding them accountable for the harm
00:15:43.977 --> 00:15:45.412
That they've done to the people here in west virginia.
00:15:45.412 --> 00:15:48.549
- opioids, taking on these big businesses and clients
00:15:48.549 --> 00:15:51.552
For the safety of our children and families.
00:15:51.552 --> 00:15:53.187
Thank you j.b.
00:15:53.187 --> 00:15:54.254
We'll be right back.
00:15:54.254 --> 00:15:55.689
(uplifting music)
00:15:56.123 --> 00:16:01.004
(uplifting music)
00:16:01.004 --> 00:16:03.122
- welcome back to "sekulow."
00:16:03.723 --> 00:16:05.291
We are now joined by ric grenell.
00:16:05.291 --> 00:16:07.727
Ric, you've making some headlines
00:16:07.727 --> 00:16:09.395
And making some x posts.
00:16:09.395 --> 00:16:11.497
The new cool gavin newsom account is, you know,
00:16:11.497 --> 00:16:15.735
Starting to shake things up.
00:16:15.735 --> 00:16:17.503
Will, it's clearly him posting all these fun memes,
00:16:17.503 --> 00:16:21.040
You know, getting into it, calling you insults there ric.
00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:24.477
Another moment where the newsom team
00:16:24.477 --> 00:16:27.947
Tries so desperately to be cool, to be relevant.
00:16:27.947 --> 00:16:31.551
And you know what?
00:16:31.551 --> 00:16:32.752
Sadly there's sure a big group going,
00:16:32.752 --> 00:16:33.853
"oh, look at this.
00:16:33.853 --> 00:16:35.021
Finally, someone having fun here."
00:16:35.021 --> 00:16:37.156
To me, of course i look at it
00:16:37.156 --> 00:16:38.558
And just you could see it's cringey how phony it is.
00:16:38.558 --> 00:16:42.328
What we know is gavin newsom keeps reinventing himself.
00:16:43.429 --> 00:16:44.063
- it's consistently phony.
00:16:44.063 --> 00:16:45.331
What we know is gavin newsom keeps reinventing himself.
00:16:45.331 --> 00:16:47.800
I think he keeps trying to find a new version
00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:51.237
Of himself that's likable because remember
00:16:51.237 --> 00:16:53.606
He's launched like five podcasts now.
00:16:53.606 --> 00:16:56.409
He keeps renaming them and coming up with new gimmicks.
00:16:56.409 --> 00:16:59.779
Then he hired this new twitter team,
00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:02.748
Which is so obviously not him
00:17:02.748 --> 00:17:05.318
Because suddenly it's like whiplash on his twitter feed
00:17:05.318 --> 00:17:09.322
And he's attacking people.
00:17:09.322 --> 00:17:11.824
Yesterday he called me the janitor
00:17:11.824 --> 00:17:14.193
At the kennedy center
00:17:14.193 --> 00:17:15.861
To which my response was,
00:17:15.861 --> 00:17:17.296
"why are you making fun of working-class people?"
00:17:17.296 --> 00:17:19.832
I don't understand why we are supposed to,
00:17:19.832 --> 00:17:23.803
As you know, politicians or people in leadership
00:17:23.803 --> 00:17:27.907
Look down on people who are, you know,
00:17:27.907 --> 00:17:31.244
Teachers, janitors, working class.
00:17:31.244 --> 00:17:33.813
My brother is a truck driver
00:17:33.813 --> 00:17:35.681
And he is one of the smartest people i know
00:17:35.681 --> 00:17:37.183
Because he's so informed.
00:17:37.183 --> 00:17:39.785
And so i think we've just gotta get to the point
00:17:39.785 --> 00:17:43.022
In our country where these elites stop making fun
00:17:43.022 --> 00:17:46.792
Of people that maybe they can't relate to
00:17:46.792 --> 00:17:49.228
But who just don't have the level of maybe sophistication
00:17:49.228 --> 00:17:54.467
That they want them to.
00:17:54.967 --> 00:17:56.435
I'd much rather be with the janitors
00:17:56.435 --> 00:17:58.971
And the truck drivers than with gavin newsom.
00:17:58.971 --> 00:18:02.575
- i mean, you'd probably look at the numbers
00:18:02.575 --> 00:18:03.843
Of how many people work in sanitation or health
00:18:03.843 --> 00:18:07.346
Or janitorial services in the state of california.
00:18:07.346 --> 00:18:09.915
And i'm sure it is a large amount
00:18:09.915 --> 00:18:12.418
Of your voter base and you decided for some reason
00:18:12.418 --> 00:18:14.654
To call that an insult.
00:18:14.654 --> 00:18:15.588
Look at, at the kennedy center.
00:18:15.588 --> 00:18:17.023
I'm sure you do employ quite a few of those people
00:18:17.023 --> 00:18:19.358
As you should, as you have to
00:18:19.358 --> 00:18:20.960
When you're running, i don't know, a theater, an arena,
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:22.862
Anything like that.
00:18:22.862 --> 00:18:23.996
So when you do those kind of moments,
00:18:23.996 --> 00:18:25.431
I do think you have to have, look, i'll be honest,
00:18:25.431 --> 00:18:27.466
We have a social media team.
00:18:27.466 --> 00:18:29.302
It's very clear, i think when no one thinks
00:18:29.302 --> 00:18:31.737
That some of the stuff posted is like individually
00:18:31.737 --> 00:18:33.673
Being posted by each one of our people.
00:18:33.673 --> 00:18:35.908
No, but we're also remember what not pretending it is.
00:18:35.908 --> 00:18:38.444
And the other thing about it is,
00:18:38.444 --> 00:18:41.347
You have to make sure you have the right people there
00:18:41.347 --> 00:18:44.216
Who understand your voice.
00:18:44.216 --> 00:18:45.751
And if they don't, they step in it just like this
00:18:45.751 --> 00:18:48.654
Where all of a sudden you have insulted,
00:18:48.654 --> 00:18:50.623
I can't even imagine how many californians.
00:18:50.623 --> 00:18:54.093
- well, and i mean, i don't wanna play devil's advocate
00:18:54.093 --> 00:18:56.362
Here, but ric, i feel like whoever they did hire
00:18:56.362 --> 00:18:59.532
Kind of nailed his voice
00:18:59.532 --> 00:19:01.200
Because what did they do?
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.336
His account mocked working-class people.
00:19:03.336 --> 00:19:06.739
This is the same guy
00:19:06.739 --> 00:19:08.107
That went to french laundry during covid.
00:19:08.107 --> 00:19:10.609
When no one else was allowed to even go do their jobs.
00:19:10.609 --> 00:19:13.913
The working-class people.
00:19:13.913 --> 00:19:15.214
- i'm just step in real quick.
00:19:15.214 --> 00:19:16.382
This is just a quick google search
00:19:16.382 --> 00:19:17.650
For the u.s. bureau of labor statistics.
00:19:17.650 --> 00:19:18.818
245,790 janitors and cleaners
00:19:18.818 --> 00:19:22.054
In the state of california in may of 2023.
00:19:22.054 --> 00:19:25.424
So, i mean, that is not insignificant.
00:19:25.424 --> 00:19:27.693
- i'll take every one of their votes
00:19:28.461 --> 00:19:30.563
And all of their hard work.
00:19:31.163 --> 00:19:33.432
Look, let me just make one thing clear.
00:19:33.432 --> 00:19:36.001
I don't employ a single person
00:19:36.001 --> 00:19:38.003
To run my social media.
00:19:38.003 --> 00:19:39.705
I run my social media
00:19:39.705 --> 00:19:42.208
And sometimes i would say that, you know,
00:19:43.109 --> 00:19:46.812
I probably go too far and i have to dial it back.
00:19:47.813 --> 00:19:51.417
But it's all me and it's my authentic voice
00:19:51.417 --> 00:19:55.321
Because, you know, i actually like calling out
00:19:55.321 --> 00:19:59.892
These hypocrites who call themselves,
00:19:59.892 --> 00:20:02.828
You know, politicians.
00:20:02.828 --> 00:20:04.563
Look, i hope that the democrats nominate gavin newsom.
00:20:04.563 --> 00:20:08.634
I just don't believe that he will ever work
00:20:08.634 --> 00:20:11.637
In a swing state.
00:20:11.637 --> 00:20:13.439
People in ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin,
00:20:13.439 --> 00:20:16.575
They're gonna be able to tell how, you know,
00:20:16.575 --> 00:20:18.144
Authentic he is.
00:20:18.144 --> 00:20:19.879
He's like a robot.
00:20:20.312 --> 00:20:21.347
His sounds, his hands, his hair,
00:20:21.347 --> 00:20:24.950
Everything about him is totally contrived,
00:20:24.950 --> 00:20:27.019
Focus-tested.
00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:28.254
I hope that they do turn to him.
00:20:28.254 --> 00:20:31.724
He's term-limited. so he's done.
00:20:31.724 --> 00:20:34.460
And i pray to god that he jumps
00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:36.662
Into the presidential race
00:20:36.662 --> 00:20:38.063
Because i think he implodes really fast
00:20:38.063 --> 00:20:40.466
Once he gets outside of california.
00:20:40.466 --> 00:20:42.334
- and you're right ric, that it feels like
00:20:42.334 --> 00:20:44.270
Every time he makes this brand move, it's so drastic.
00:20:44.270 --> 00:20:48.407
All the goodwill you may have thought
00:20:48.407 --> 00:20:50.009
He could have had by interviewing charlie kirk,
00:20:50.009 --> 00:20:52.111
By doing all of that, all of a sudden clearly did not work.
00:20:52.111 --> 00:20:54.980
It clearly did not resonate with the right people,
00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.982
Or his team doesn't think it did.
00:20:56.982 --> 00:20:58.584
So let's just knee-jerk reaction
00:20:58.584 --> 00:21:00.119
Go completely the opposite direction.
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.421
And you're right, it just screams inauthentic.
00:21:02.421 --> 00:21:05.891
It screams elitist.
00:21:05.891 --> 00:21:07.626
And it's unfortunate, you know, you're not wendy's, okay?
00:21:07.626 --> 00:21:10.629
You're gavin newsom, you're the governor of the state.
00:21:10.629 --> 00:21:13.799
You know, you can have fun on social media,
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.434
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:21:15.434 --> 00:21:16.669
But when you start throwing around jabs
00:21:16.669 --> 00:21:18.270
And you start really just picking fights,
00:21:18.270 --> 00:21:20.206
It just becomes, it just becomes lame.
00:21:20.206 --> 00:21:23.342
- well, and ric, here's what i want to know
00:21:23.342 --> 00:21:25.044
'cause i'm starting to see a pattern,
00:21:25.044 --> 00:21:26.412
But whether it's his hired social media team
00:21:26.412 --> 00:21:29.348
Or gavin newsom himself,
00:21:29.348 --> 00:21:30.983
He keeps going after you.
00:21:30.983 --> 00:21:32.318
Why are you such a threat to gavin newsom?
00:21:32.318 --> 00:21:34.820
- well, look, i think we're holding him to account
00:21:35.821 --> 00:21:37.523
In some ways, you know, between the water problems,
00:21:37.523 --> 00:21:42.127
I should say water management problems.
00:21:42.127 --> 00:21:43.963
'cause we live on the ocean.
00:21:43.963 --> 00:21:45.331
We don't have a water problem.
00:21:45.331 --> 00:21:46.632
We have a water management problem.
00:21:46.632 --> 00:21:48.133
We don't have a forest and fire problem in california.
00:21:48.133 --> 00:21:51.136
We have a forest and fire management problem
00:21:51.136 --> 00:21:53.939
And we're calling him out.
00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:55.241
And president trump has me as the point person
00:21:55.241 --> 00:21:58.110
Really holding back some of these funds
00:21:58.110 --> 00:22:01.113
That california is thinking
00:22:01.113 --> 00:22:04.049
That they're just gonna automatically get.
00:22:04.049 --> 00:22:06.519
And what we're saying is we're not going to give
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.222
These funds over to california
00:22:10.222 --> 00:22:12.224
So that they make the same mistakes
00:22:12.224 --> 00:22:14.193
And we have another fire
00:22:14.193 --> 00:22:15.628
Because we don't have the reservoirs filled.
00:22:15.628 --> 00:22:18.664
We don't know how to water management.
00:22:18.664 --> 00:22:20.966
We still haven't fixed the problems
00:22:20.966 --> 00:22:23.402
Of forest fires and forest management.
00:22:23.402 --> 00:22:27.506
How do you do that? just through common sense.
00:22:27.506 --> 00:22:30.976
Gavin newsom is out running for president.
00:22:30.976 --> 00:22:32.945
He still hasn't fixed these.
00:22:32.945 --> 00:22:34.346
And so our concern, president trump's concern is
00:22:34.346 --> 00:22:37.149
If we somehow just allow this money
00:22:37.149 --> 00:22:39.618
To be handed over to california,
00:22:39.618 --> 00:22:41.253
They make the same mistakes
00:22:41.253 --> 00:22:42.922
And we're gonna have another fire.
00:22:42.922 --> 00:22:44.657
Look, last night i had an event
00:22:44.657 --> 00:22:46.792
From my organization to fix california.
00:22:46.792 --> 00:22:49.762
We had 150 people gathered in manhattan beach,
00:22:49.762 --> 00:22:54.633
And they are outraged.
00:22:54.633 --> 00:22:56.435
I would say 50 to 60 of the people that showed up
00:22:56.435 --> 00:23:00.906
Lost their homes in the palisades.
00:23:00.906 --> 00:23:03.676
They now live in manhattan beach where i live.
00:23:03.676 --> 00:23:07.313
And they're outraged.
00:23:07.313 --> 00:23:08.914
Many of these are democrats.
00:23:08.914 --> 00:23:10.282
I talked to a woman last night from the palisades,
00:23:10.282 --> 00:23:12.318
Who is a democrat who will never vote,
00:23:12.318 --> 00:23:15.220
At least for the next couple of years for a democrat.
00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:18.824
She's so outraged that the basic utilities,
00:23:18.824 --> 00:23:21.694
We have the highest taxes, property taxes in the nation.
00:23:21.694 --> 00:23:26.098
And these individuals saw a fire coming over the hill.
00:23:26.098 --> 00:23:29.935
They went to turn on the water.
00:23:29.935 --> 00:23:31.637
They had no water pressure.
00:23:31.637 --> 00:23:32.671
They had no water.
00:23:32.671 --> 00:23:34.506
These are just basic services.
00:23:34.506 --> 00:23:36.175
Karen bass is a disaster.
00:23:36.175 --> 00:23:37.743
But you know what? karen bass thinks that she's gonna win.
00:23:37.743 --> 00:23:39.945
She's running again.
00:23:39.945 --> 00:23:41.513
And i opened up the speech last night
00:23:41.513 --> 00:23:43.816
And i said, "look, we're all outraged at karen bass.
00:23:43.816 --> 00:23:47.019
We think there's no possible way she's gonna win."
00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:50.022
She's running and her people are telling her
00:23:50.022 --> 00:23:52.324
She's gonna win.
00:23:52.324 --> 00:23:53.626
Now, that's pathetic.
00:23:53.626 --> 00:23:55.594
I wanna meet the people who are gonna vote for karen bass
00:23:55.594 --> 00:23:58.597
Because between karen bass and gavin newsom,
00:23:58.597 --> 00:24:02.267
The people of california, common sense voters
00:24:02.267 --> 00:24:06.105
See this as so lame.
00:24:06.105 --> 00:24:08.474
They are not going to go for this again.
00:24:08.474 --> 00:24:10.509
We've got a big moment in california
00:24:10.509 --> 00:24:11.910
And i think that's why gavin newsom is afraid.
00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:14.580
- i'm very curious about that, ric,
00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:15.848
Because i know that a lot of people here
00:24:15.848 --> 00:24:17.316
Are probably like, why are you spending so much time
00:24:17.316 --> 00:24:18.117
On local news here?
00:24:18.117 --> 00:24:19.284
California, west virginia,
00:24:19.284 --> 00:24:20.919
You know, we're here in tennessee,
00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:21.854
We are seeing a mass migration,
00:24:21.854 --> 00:24:23.022
Obviously from california to tennessee.
00:24:23.022 --> 00:24:24.523
Most of my friends from la are now here
00:24:24.523 --> 00:24:26.692
Because of reasons like that.
00:24:26.692 --> 00:24:28.193
And these aren't necessarily most conservative people.
00:24:28.193 --> 00:24:29.962
These were people in the arts who just decided
00:24:29.962 --> 00:24:31.864
They couldn't take it anymore.
00:24:31.864 --> 00:24:33.298
And i think we have to always look to these big states
00:24:33.298 --> 00:24:35.067
To see how things are going.
00:24:35.067 --> 00:24:36.335
I mean, with karen bass in that situation,
00:24:36.335 --> 00:24:37.970
I feel like you had the media,
00:24:37.970 --> 00:24:39.438
She had the media so under control
00:24:39.438 --> 00:24:41.540
That if you wanted to vote for anyone else,
00:24:41.540 --> 00:24:42.908
Even a moderate democrat, you were ostracized.
00:24:42.908 --> 00:24:46.178
You were all of a sudden the enemy.
00:24:46.178 --> 00:24:47.579
If you just said, "you know, i don't know,
00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:48.981
I wanna vote for this other more moderate democrat,"
00:24:48.981 --> 00:24:51.517
Sorry, you're no longer welcome in california.
00:24:51.517 --> 00:24:54.586
- "los angeles times" is the newsletter
00:24:55.454 --> 00:24:57.523
For the democratic party.
00:24:57.523 --> 00:24:59.058
It's a simple little newsletter.
00:24:59.058 --> 00:25:00.659
It's not interesting anymore.
00:25:00.659 --> 00:25:02.127
You don't even need to read it
00:25:02.127 --> 00:25:03.395
Because you know exactly what they're gonna say.
00:25:03.395 --> 00:25:05.898
They're gonna say the republican is bad,
00:25:05.898 --> 00:25:07.566
The democrat is good.
00:25:07.566 --> 00:25:09.568
It's tanking.
00:25:09.568 --> 00:25:11.403
They're literally firing people left and right,
00:25:11.403 --> 00:25:14.273
Laying people off.
00:25:14.273 --> 00:25:15.674
And so that's the largest newspaper in the state.
00:25:15.674 --> 00:25:18.711
And the media are, you know,
00:25:18.711 --> 00:25:21.046
They're not even jumping on the fact
00:25:21.046 --> 00:25:22.414
That the governor of the state is mocking janitors.
00:25:22.414 --> 00:25:26.251
The media are like largely silent in california.
00:25:26.251 --> 00:25:29.955
Now, if i mocked janitors,
00:25:29.955 --> 00:25:32.791
They would be mocking me for three straight days.
00:25:32.791 --> 00:25:36.061
And i would have an editorial in the "los angeles times."
00:25:36.061 --> 00:25:39.064
And so it's just a double standard.
00:25:39.064 --> 00:25:41.166
Everybody knows it.
00:25:41.166 --> 00:25:42.568
We don't care anymore about the "los angeles times."
00:25:42.568 --> 00:25:45.070
They're totally irrelevant, but gavin newsom does.
00:25:45.070 --> 00:25:48.040
And he's feeling the heat from the pressure
00:25:48.040 --> 00:25:50.709
And the fact that californians are sick and tired
00:25:50.709 --> 00:25:54.179
Of bad politicians ruining our state,
00:25:54.179 --> 00:25:57.382
And we're gonna do something about it.
00:25:57.382 --> 00:25:59.451
So we're organized.
00:25:59.451 --> 00:26:01.553
- we're very thankful you're there, ric,
00:26:01.553 --> 00:26:02.888
A state that, you know, again,
00:26:02.888 --> 00:26:04.456
I don't write anyone off,
00:26:04.456 --> 00:26:05.891
I don't write any states off, any areas off,
00:26:05.891 --> 00:26:07.726
Whether it's new york, california,
00:26:07.726 --> 00:26:09.094
These places are some of our shining cities.
00:26:09.094 --> 00:26:12.431
These should be the ones that everyone goes to,
00:26:12.431 --> 00:26:14.299
The tourist capitals where people think of america,
00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:16.301
They think of these places
00:26:16.301 --> 00:26:17.836
And we gotta make sure that they're being
00:26:17.836 --> 00:26:19.304
Properly managed and handled.
00:26:19.304 --> 00:26:20.439
You want people living there.
00:26:20.439 --> 00:26:21.640
You want people to come as tourists.
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.841
And then you should think about that
00:26:22.841 --> 00:26:24.476
For a worldwide economy.
00:26:24.476 --> 00:26:24.476
