In a wide-ranging interview, California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks with CNN's Dana Bash about topics ranging from the climate crisis to the 2024 presidential election. #CNN #News
The reason Biden and Trump are running neck-and-neck is because we as a nation have forgotten what an informed citizenry is. Right now we root for the Republican and Democrat parties like we are at a football game; I think we need to review our job description as citizens.
I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly, but it is a very unfortunate reality. As much as Biden has done legislatively, he had a chance to restate the case for democracy and he has failed miserably. He also needs someone more viable than Harris as VP. His age would matter less if he had a successor who more felt could handle the job. Finally, he’s still playing by the old rules. The game has changed, and he has to be much much more aggressive and a much much better communicator… and he’s neither. Think we’re in trouble, dude.
@@relaxedsack1263WE HAVE 412 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION SO RIGHT NOW=PEOPLE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO & THAT'S WHY THESE POLLS DON'T MATTER EITHER, ESPECIALLY SINCE POLLS CHANGE WEEKLY 😏😅😂
Except democrats still put forward policies that help Americans and republicans just try to demonize one group after another I see one group that still governs and another that just make large dramatic stories up
Is Dana actually listening to his answers?!? Or is she just throwing water balloons because she thinks this is what her boss wants her to do?!? So annoying and Newsom staying professional all the time. Well done Governor.
I'm glad she fact checked his homeless numbers, I know it was a bullshit call because invisible homeless people are just as homeless as anyone else. But it is so rare that anyone gets a bit of pushback in an interview I have to celebrate. I know low bar, but if anyone can handle it, it's this man. I love watching him on Fox, him and Secretary of Transportation, name escapes me at the moment. But damn there good.
Houseing cost. why? Because everybody wants to live in California. If everybody was trying to leave California don't you think housing cost would fall? Think about it. 🤔 Your statement is nothing more then GQP kool-aid.
the entire Main Stream Media does this. Focus on TFG giving him a ton of free advertising, while never mentioning the good stuff the Biden administration has done. Finally some of the MSNBC folks are calling him out for his lies.
@@marietellez6021 Give me a break. More people have died from covid under bidens leadership. I'm not blaming biden but remember when he vowed to "shut down the virus". Biden is an absolute disgrace.
Dana Bash is disgusting & a fraud. She had dinner with team trump at a restaurant called "Rare" in Milwaukee. This is also who was there in addition to Bash... Reporters Dana Bash, Shane Goldmacher, Kristen Welker, Bob Costa, Fin Gomez, Dasha Burns, Rachel Scott, Rick Klein, Josh Dawsey, Rob Crilly, Mario Parker and David Chalian along with Chris LaCivita, Jason Miller and Steven Cheung.

@@timlinator Because any democrat will win in California because it’s a blue state. DeSantis had a bigger victory in purple Florida. But Newson is awful and that’s why so many have left.
It's really a sign of how far our news media has fallen how irritated Dana seems to get when Newsom doesn't stick to her prefabricated narrative on certain points and sidesteps the stupidity.

@@majedtaleb3944 Are every politicians great? No. At least he has ideas, He's very pro welfare, helping poor people. I rather somebody with ideas than somebody who tried to overturn the Presidential Election. 99% of the people who testified before the January 6 committee were Republicans who worked for Trump or in the administration. Everybody mango Mussolini trump hired he would say is "so smart and the best," only later to go out and say "they're overrated," like he did with General Mad Dog Mattis, or Rex Tillerson, saying he's "dumb as a rock." Well before they were "smart," but a little time later he would always disparage them. Mussolini trump called US Service Members & Veterans "suckers & losers." A few days ago a story published by the Atlantic described how trump said to General Milley about a wounded Veteran "why did you bring him here, nobody wants to see that, don't ever bring people like that here ever again." Many other Military officials also heard trump say this, because it was confirmed. The dude said he's worth$10 billion, he has a private jumbo plane, said in 2016 "I'm rich, I don't need anybody's money" for his campaign, only to beg nonstop for donations. He uses those donations to pay is wife's stylost $260,000, then another $155k he had her paid for giving a couple minute speech & for picking out table arrangements for a small dinner party/function. His New York business was exposed as a fraud, he would increase the values of his properties to get favorable loans, but would decrease those values and say they're dumps when it came to tax season. He was paying $512k property tax on his Mar-a-Lardo property in Florida which is 0.98% of the value. It was appraised between $18-26 million. If it was worth over a billion like he claims he would've been paying over $10 million a year. The Palm Beach Daily printed a story about how trump appealed a property assessment to pay a lower property tax, but now he cries it's worth over a billion. The dude paid more in tax to China than he did to the US. I remember reading how he got a $73 million refund. Like i said I rather have somebody discussing policy then crying on stage about everything they rigged against him. I'm tired of writing because i know you will still vote for a dummy who will ruin this country more than he did. Mussolini trump was laughed at, at the UN General Assembly. Everything I wrote here can be corroborated via Google query search.
@population-_-420yeah, #1 highest gas prices- $5.85/gallon in Sacramento yesterday. Increased cost of goods due to shoplifting and theft at its worst due to his and Kamala’s props 47 and 49. Shoplifting and theft up to $950 isn’t even a crime- a citation in my state. Look up what it has done to us. SF, LA, Sac, and everywhere else full of homeless people, many of which never should have been let out of prison. The others are just too poor to afford rent. Hundreds of millions thrown into “fixing homelessness,” but all he’s done keep the homelessness industry working and funded year after year, with NO progress. You can’t even go into a pharmacy/store without worrying you’re going to get caught up in a huge shoplifting operation gone bad. We are not okay. Please reconsider.
Geez, it's almost dreamlike ; a journalist who makes the right order/priority of issues, and a politician who is on top of them, also in the same order. Mindboggling. Why is this so rare? I'd vote for this guy in a hot minute.
@@Boost1206 California is the fifth largest economy on earth closing on Germany for number 4. Largest economy of all the states and larger that the 21 bottom states COMBINED. One of only ten donor states propping up a bunch of dead beat red states. 8 of 10 donor states are blue. Americans don't want the radical right policies of trumpism and have been rejecting them in the polls. Republicans haven't won the popular vote for president since 1988 with exception of 2004* but bush lost the popular vote in 2000 and 2004 was just after 9/11 so 2004* needs an asterisk. The senate two per state regardless of population is not democracy and republicans haven't represent a popular majority in the senate in over 40 years. Republicans are tyranny of the minority over an increasingly diverse population that is rising up against them.
Trump's answer to all her questions would have been I will fix it in one day, I'll have a perfect way to deal with it, I know what I will do but can't reveal it here, or that was such a nasty question.
No. I live in Socal. Since Newsom has been in office- we've had MORE homelessness, HIGHER house prices, GAS PRICES $6 + a gallon, YOUNG FAMILIES leaving California for INSANE cost of living & draconian covid lockdowns (illegal mandates), MORE THEFT & BREAKINS DUE TO weak criminal laws, INSURANCE COMPANIES leaving the state, THOUSANDS of small businesses FAIL due to extreme covid shut-downs.... this state is a disaster and getting worse year by year since Newsome took office. The streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco look like a 3rd world country! Nordstrom & Bloomingdales just left SF due to the rampant theft. Don't believe these marketing strategies by the DNC. And I used to be a Democrat! Hmph!
@@josephsimmons9241 I'm an Independent. But if I had to choose I would go for Trump just because I'm a parent and small business owner. Being a parent in California has been difficult, no health choices, schools are getting worse. small businesses are closing during covid and we are still feeling the after-effects. Corporations Big Food, Big Pharma, Big everything is just getting bigger and Democrats live for that nowadays. Remember when Dems were anti-corporation and anti- telling people what to do (re schools and health choices?).
@@Ameborl i ask because it seems all the things you mention are to the left of the current administration. The current GQP is entirely lost and more loyal to Russian propaganda than governing this country. It's important to take a closer look. If you value the Constitution, you will see Trump is a scam and a danger to the values held in it.
@@Ameborl dems are still anti-corporation, at least exploitation. You are really still stuck on Covid? Gimme a break. California has excellent schools (compared to red states) and does value health choices (just not yours that can harm others). We will always give women the right to choose. You can always move to Texas or Florida
@@dennisthemenace8854 Fifth largest economy on earth, largest of all the states, larger than the bottom 21 states combined and one of ten donor states. 8 of the ten donor states are BLUE.
A real man? look at California recently? The entirety of San Francisco Market Street is a ghost town. All of the storefronts are closed. Oakland Berkeley Los Angeles they're all having the same issues. People are working 14 up to 16 hours a day and they are homeless, there is no possibility of them to be able to afford rent. This is what Gavin and the rest of the Democrats has done to the state of California. The Hilton abandoned their billing dollar property, they didn't even try to sell it because California is so freaking bad right now.
His policies have made the California homeless population almost triple since 2019 tho. I know I live here and noticed a ton more homeless people in Los Angeles all over the place
I see alot of comments praising him on how he handled this interview but i don't see any comments praising him on how he's handling Cali. That says alot!
No this interview if for future presidential candidacy. No California topics only national issues. he even managed to make his homelessness problem in to a national issue even though its localized in to large cities.
This man would WASH whomever the Republican nominee is. I'm going to say probably a 10 point win. I don't even agree with everything he says, but he's just so articulate and actually concerned with issues instead of idiotic culture wars. He would be the undisputed adult in the room next to that crop of GOP candidates.
@@bellfaith1065 if you are talking about my comment, then NOPE! You're wrong. I have a presence all over social media. Been commenting on politics for a long time. If someone else has the same opinion it's probably because it's obvious that this man would be good on the national stage. There have been rumors for a while that he's going to run instead of Joe Biden. The clock is ticking, so this may or may not be true, but the rumors have been out for a while.
@@justjeff2395 California is the fifth largest economy the world. It is gorgeous. All the rich and successful people live there. Enjoy Mississippi, MAGA cultists.
@pawacoteng she shouldn't have asked him how biden should handle the Hunter scandal. Newsome is not Bidens damage control/PR person. It was ridiculous question designed to tie him to the scandal.
CNN’s new version of “fair and balanced” news coverage. Dana Bash goes through Gavin Newsoms entire career looking for any issue she can find and Jake Tapper has Republicans on to lie to his face and thanks them.
Have you been to Texas recently Houston Dallas Fort Worth? San Antonio It’s not that much better there. I’ve seen it There’s more crime in San Antonio then there is in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Why everything he says is a lie. All our businesses are gone. San Francisco Market Street is a ghost town. People are working 14 up to $16 an hour and they are homeless, there is no possibility for them to be able to afford rent. That's what Gavin is doing.
I'm telling you. She's the worst of all. I cannot stand the way she interviews democratic politicians. A right-wing journalist would have done a better job.
@@hfelipe5965 trust me living in Florida paying half of what y’all pay . Some how y’all have so much job opportunity and great pay. But the crime is worse that it’s ever been ? Lol yea makes sense
Especially, Donald J. Trump. I would love to see him debate old man Trump. Oh, by the way, what about the debate on "Faux-news" between him and Ron DeSantis conducted by Sean Hannity?!
The irony is if the news spent half as much time reporting what's ACTUALLY GOING ON vs what people think or some (often wrong) poll says is going on, would make a tremendous difference.
@@trisnar1842GQP is your choice & preference… a ring leader of a circus with an Orange Clown trump the bully entertainer in disguise, he’s a kingpin in reality.
How refreshing to hear a leader give answers and solutions to the problems we face in this country. He doesn't play the blame game or bully anyone. Gov. Newsome PLEASE GET ON THE BALLOT FOR 2024!
Gavin Newsome is a great speaker. No question about that. However in terms of POLICIES he is one of the WORST. As Governor of California homelessness is on the rise at a disproportionate rate compared to other states. Hundreds of business are leaving every year from California due to the soft on crime policies that Govener Newsome has put into place. Furthermore under Govener Newsome California’s education system has been described by the citizens of California as inappropriate for thier chirldren due to the pornographic books available in their schools. In fact for the past couple of years California has been declining in their population each year. With The amount of people being born every day to have a decline in population is nearly impossible to due and it just shows how bad of a job Newsome is doing as governor of California. If he becomes President our country will be in SO MUCH TROUBLE!
@@hugoandrewmembreno734 thank you!!!!! I wish people can see the Truth! Gavin Newsome is the WORST GOVERNOR in the past 50 years his policies are HORRIBLE!
Newsome had a pretty gross answer on abortion. Is he saying that he condones abortion in the third trimester that isn't to save the life of the mother? Think about this. It murder. Newsome is gross
@@rizzo021 Listen more carefully and see if your brain can actually understand the point he made. Over and over again they both mentioned the specific gestational age. Try to focus. 🧠🇺🇸
@@cortical1 nope she asked 6 times nd he obfuscated and didnt answer any specific measurable point whatsoever. I can rad between the lines another American butcher who wants abortion up until birth.
@@joohyunglee1815 To be fair the main problems of California are tied to the affordable housing crisis. There are lots of homeless and people can't afford homes. Those two things are tied together. That was a problem way before Newsom and even if he does everything right it would likely take decades to build enough housing in CA to fix these problems. It seems he is taking measures to address it but building the millions of affordable homes that you need in California will be like pushing a boulder up a hill.
@PabloTheThinker Dude crimes, homeless n murders are every state not only in California. Look at Texas very high on murders, homeless n crimes cause of Governor Abbott n the Senate Cruz. WOW, YOUR SO WRONG LOOK AT SCHOOLS IN TEXAS TEENS KILLIN CHILDREN. MORE GUNS ARE IN TEXAS CAUSE THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T CARE
Outstanding Governor. So refreshing to hear real truth, facts, dignified intelligence and honest pride. He gives hope as does President Biden and Vice President Harris.
@@karenhultgren7810 You were not listening. He said he was suing energy producers. Not to mention we have 3x the average gas tax. Not to mention our oil production has gone down 30% since he got control and he is trying to close the last nuclear plant in California but couldn't because we need the energy. A vote for any Democrat is a vote for double the energy costs. Maybe you can afford it?
@@karenhultgren7810 Yes they are. He taxes gas $1.65 per gallon. The most in the whole country. Plus he has some stupid lawsuit against them which is going to bring up the prices even more. This guy is a confidence man. He swindles you as he has your confidence. I'm from a poor area. We know our cheap chiselers. He is a flim flam man.
I'm not a Californian but I've been following Gov Newsom for about 8 years. He is a man of honor and integrity and compassion. I'm voting for him for prez in 2028! He'll be the perfect age at 60 :)
The fact that any democrat would vote for this lizard person over a candidate like RFK jr is disturbing. He’s the best presidential candidate your party has had in the last several decades.
I hope so, we need intelligent, compassionate, level headed, leaders like Newsom to keep our country and the world on the democracy track! I don't want to see our country fighting for Russian and North Korean communism under a Trump Maga, autocratic party.
DeSanctis: woke this, woke that, false narrative, called Russias invasion a “territorial dispute”, Disney is bad, more woke, make America Florida, blah blah blah. A complete joker.
Yeah what a great non answer on abortion. Does this man support abortion up until birth??!! That what I took. Absolutely disgusting...in Europe its limited at 10-18 weeks. Gross
@@rizzo021 - It's a non-issue that Republicans like to harp on. 99.98% of abortions happen within the first 21 weeks (before fetus viability). And even of that, around 80% happen in the first 12 weeks. When there is an abortion after the first 21 weeks, it is overwhelmingly due to the the risk of death to the mother. Republicans harp on this issue....which isn't even happening.
@@rizzo021Jesus Christ! Don't be bias & deaf , he obviously said that he does not support abortion up to 9months. However, he said that laws need to be kept in place to allow to be moms who need to follow that path (Most times a traumatizing but necessary decision to save the mom). He literally said this! He even said that, women like these rarely occur, but happen and laws need to be in place to allow them make these life saving decisions.
@@nnamdidennisonyukwu2692 he never said his limit he only said donald trump shouldn't be making it!! The reporter picked up on this. It is not a difficult decision and you politician to be able to answer this more clearly!! He neds t undestand that 70 percent of democrats tinktats disguting!! Start using your brain! He absolutely argued against the current 24 week limit to Cali has! Why is that????
*See full exclusive interview of the absolute **_WORST_** Gov. in the nation, as confirmed by the mass exodus from the once great state of California* *-There, I fixed it.*
The guy is eloquent, articulate. Someday he will be a great President. Respect! I would like to see a debate between Newsom, Buttigieg and Booker. - It would be amazing to watch.
I didn’t know that! Makes sense. He’s very articulate & clear when he speaks. Able to think fast. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he runs for president in ‘28.
@@diedrebenson5950 It is also due to his dyslexia. He has always been very open about his learning disability & clear that it “is the best thing that ever happened to me.” His quote. He has the memory of an elephant. That is why he is able to go from topic to topic, policy to policy with such ease. No notes. Yes, he’s my governor 😎
This was worth my time to listen to. No deflection, blame, or lies that we've become so accustomed to that we sit on every word waiting for them to happen. Though far from perfect, thank goodness there are politicians who actually care.
You are blind. Literally skating around questions and lying .. this guy has made Cali from 1 or the greatest states in America to 1 of the worst . He shouldn’t be speaking on America as a whole . The horrible track record he has..
Probably the worst governor in the US. Accountability? Ok Gavin, when will you be held accountable for helping to ruin California? We tried to recall you but you slimed your way out of that.
30% of the nations homeless reside in California. The depleting magnetosphere and the polar magnetic reversal has more effect on climate than fossil fuel.
Dishonest statement, but no surprise there. California is the MOST POPULOUS STATE in America (more people than in the 21 least populous states COMBINED) so obvious the number of homeless is greater as well here. Duh. And your climate change denial comments? Please take your tinfoil hat off. And the blinders.
@@alfredgeorge317 With respect, I disagree. I believe Jamie Raskin is right where his service to our country is needed most. He is in the position to create,draft & oversight legislation for the betterment of the people. 😊
And full blown liar who slept with his best friends wife. He’s been battling homelessness in ca as mayor and gov for a decade, take a look at how that has worked out.
@@LGguedo I’m not aware of a politician, frankly any human who hasn’t done things they regret. The key is what you learn from that and hopefully get better. Homelessness is a national issue. We’re battling it here in Washington State. His interview was a masterclass.
@@LGguedo 44% of California residents are from other countries or other states, making immediate housing needs difficult to meet. That’s hardly the governors fault, and 100% the fault of California being a beacon to the world! And the most likely to leave California are rich, because other states allow the rich to not pay their fair share of taxes, leaving behind houses that the average Californian cannot buy. Curiously, the ridge to exit California to states with lower personal income tax, always have their business that made them rich remain in California.
@@LGguedo Since he told the truth about the one affair he had over 15 years ago (during his divorce), I hardly call him a liar. He has been honest to say he learned from his mistakes. When the public learned of the short affair, it was already over. They quit on their own. His situation is far different from Donald Trump’s bragging of molesting women, cheating on all his wives with his future wife, sleeping with porn stars, paying hush money, bragging about being able to go into the teen Miss America contest dressing rooms anytime he’d like, the rape of E, Jean Carroll, and claiming on TV that if his daughter weren’t his daughter, he would be dating her. Now that’s a slimeball who refuses to learn from his mistakes! I’m sure you’ll agree that Gavin Newsom is a good man who learned a lesson, but Donald Trump is a constant liar and degenerate!

Finally, someone appreciated Biden....and his administration as well as all the Democrats who are really working so hard for the welfare of the common!!!! Americans ...open your eyes ....you should always look at the negative but look what has been accomplished. Don't discriminate a person because of his age....but appreciate what the person has accomplished in a short period of time......as well as his team and his party
What's wrong with you commos? the Biden crime mob have destroyed the US and the world with it's ridiculous woke policies.....You people are so delusional it's frightening!!
I don't mind Kamala Harris, but because of Biden's age and Kamala's approval rating, Newsome would be great to replace her on the Democrat 2024 ticket as his new vice-president.
As a former resident of California, a whole heartedly hope, he runs for president one day. He’s extremely intelligent and does deeply care about what goes on.
I would imagine they do not want to encourage people to keep buying internal combustion engine cars. They have a plan to get rid of those. Which is a good thing. It's called progress and responsible government.
@matthoward598 Obviously he's very intelligent. He's suing the big oil companies to hold them according for their actions. He's a moderate progressive and I like that.I think he's done a good job governing California which I believe is the most populous state. I think he's a very good fit for the state of California which is a very democratic state.
@@1suitcasesal Oh, there's no questioning his intelligence, it's very obvious in any of his interviews.. What set me off was his handling of the pandemic, made arbitrary decisions that just didn't make sense.... His handling of the homeless crisis is terrible in my opinion as well.. I love this state. But, I don't like what's happening with crime right now. We have to fix this asap. I feel like the State is stagnant with major issues. I want changes for the better....
@matthoward598 I think he did a good job handling the pandemic. He kept a lot of people safe. I don't think anyone can come along and wave a magic wand to solve the homeless crisis. Homeless people will continue to flood into a state that has decent weather no matter what anyone does. I'm sure they'd rather be in California than freezing to death in Minnesota or baking to death in Arizona or Nevada. It sounds like he is putting good plans into action to address homelessness caused by mental illness. There's not much anyone can do about homelessness caused by drug addiction. There are plenty of missions and other places that help the homeless get into safe affordable housing but they must be drug and alcohol free to enter those programs. You cannot make a person give up drugs or alcohol if they don't want to.
Save this country on the things it was bult on, the greatest country in the world. As long as VP Harris continues to defend our democracy, constitution, rule of law and our freedoms that we have grown accustomed to ; and as long as she defends this nation domestically and internationally from dictators, authoritarian types, bullies and terrorists - she will continue to be a great Vice President, and if it comes down to it she will be a great President as well.
It's not a warning sign for Democrats it's a warning sign for Democracy..This isn't unique to the United States, this is expressed all around the world." Thank you!
