gavin newsom turned that speculation on its head. he took all that media attention and used it to promote joe biden's re-election. he went on fox news in prime time. he defended biden's record on issues like immigration and the economy. he debated presidential candidate like ron desantis live on fox, helping to accelerate the disastrous collapse of desantis' capped d.c. and now gavin newsom is in south carolina, the state where president biden is kicking off the presidential primary and where trump hopes to put an end to the republican presidential primary. as we mentioned at the top of the show, alex sat down with governor newsom. and he told her despite a poll showing a tight race, he's optimistic about democratic chances come november. >> progressives, republicans, independents, whoever might be a little bit stunned you have, what did you say, an incredible feeling of wellness? >> well-being. >> well-being, sorry. >> we're just getting started. tag you're it, democrats. isn't this great? we're now on the campaign trail, nation's f

now governor newsom is doing the same thing.the problem with someone being a surrogate for somebody, you don't like what they are saying or think it is not necessarily true is one thing. judging him by this case, i admire newsom for a couple reasons, like some democrats who won't come on our network, don't understand why, he's willing to debate people including sitting governors around the country. you have to give him credit for that and i do. i hope he stays on. he can beat more effective than president biden is touting his own record. jeanine: given the gibberish we heard from wisconsin a couple days ago, the fact that he puts a hard hat on backwards, will get better with time? >> that the new style, that is when you look cool when you wear your hat backwards on the construction set. governor newsom is the break glass in case of emergency candidate filling a void kamala harris can't filter the democrats. if she were the heir apparent to president biden, kamala harris would be giving that interview and she would be upfront eve

newsom knows it, the democratic party knows it.ow if this is a referendum on joe biden's record. he will lose worse than hillary clinton in the electoral college in 2024 because georgia, arizona, nevada, wisconsin, michigan, he is down big right now and he's not going to get better with age. he's the cottage cheese president. not better like the fine wine president. >> you have vice president kamala harris who use still have to deal with that and that's still what we have to figure out is how that's going to go town. i haven't quite figured it out. i think everyone can be bought for a price and she believes -- >> she did call him racist. >> that was so long ago. nobody remembers that, but she is saying that the reason that everybody thinks things are awful is because that they haven't been doing adequate job of telling people how good they actually are. let's take a look at kamala harris touting all the accomplishments that none of us can apparently see. >> we have a lot of accomplishments. we haven't taken good credit for it, fran

governor newsom unveiled his preliminary state budget as expected. it comes with a projected multi billion dollar deficit. >> but the governor vows that the size of the deficit will be much lower than projections made by the legislature's nonpartisan analyst office. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace reports. >> well, here it is. the governor's 150 plus page budget summary, a budget he says comes with its challenges. but when he argues will benefit california, very challenging experience for the team. governor gavin newsom not mincing words about what it's been like putting together this coming fiscal year's budget, the budget that per newsom comes with a projected 37.9 billion dollar deficit. that figure is much more optimistic than that of the non-partisan legislative analyst's office or who just last month released this report projecting 68 billion dollar deficit newsom believes that projection was way off. i hope you're immediately corrected. that number. we have been pretty transparent with you. i'm making the point publicly not just privat

apparently governor newsom won the coin toss. you chose to let governor desantis have the first question. you will get the last word tonight. i begin with you. for governor newsom i will ask what your response is on this as well. it's a simple question. how do you explain this phenomenon? governor, what is going on? >> when i was in the navy i got orders to go to a naval amphibious base in southern california and i was a lifelong floridian. i went there and i said this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. california has more natural advantages than any state in the country. you almost have to try to mess california up. that is what gavin newsom has done since he has been governor. he's the first governor to ever lose population. they actually at one point ran out of you halls in the state of california because so many people were leaving. he has imposed restrictions on his own people while exempting himself from those restrictions and going to the french laundry while his people were suffering. he led the country in scho

>> jesse: 's got to be newsom.ogate, he's a sur backup quarterback.ua you know what happens when he plays well? you have a quarterback controversy. you look around and you are like, wow, and you look at the starting quarterback and you think maybe the old fella shoulc stick on the sidelines.li ne>> greg: what about michelle? have you see abon her arms? >> jesse: she's been workingt. out. i'm not going to go there.go >> judge jeanine: good idea.id keep talkingea.me look at me, jesse.oo >> jesse: i can't. i want to say it but i can't. he's campaigning really well, doing multiple stops, cable tv interviews, something joe biden is incapable o f doing. he is spewing jabberwocky. he's getting heckled when he'shs playing an away game. he's mumbling and getting lost on stage, it's an absolute catastrophe. and si think when you contrast together, i don't think it helps joe biden. you just looking at ar- 56-year-old that knowsol what an means, who could maybe manage two proxd y wars instead of mismanaging the world. i don'd.

there he is, young, handsome and dynamic gavin newsom.e's certainly saying all the rye things about biden. he told abc out we have the best three-year record of any modern american presidency. that's laughable. california is a border state. biden has no polling record on the border. newsom also says "its been hard globally these last six or seven years but again america stands tall, the tent pole." laughable again. notice how he goes back six or seven years to suggest that trump was at fault. that's wrong. our foreign policy went haywire three years ago with the chaotic retreat from afghanistan. if he ever does replace biden at the top of the ticket he will be challenged with what he's done with california, homelessness, fentanyl crime, oh, yeah and california as a sanctuary state. hard to get out of all of that but in the next couple of months , gavin newsom will be the president's most-loyal surrogate. he will be the leading non- candidate until the president's condition forces the democrats to usher him out. august 19, the democrats co

>> yeah, gavin newsom and i are singing the same tune here.11-year-old played tackle football for his sixth grade football team. we let him do it, his mom and i talked about it and he wanted to do it. this should be a parent decision. i had him play flag football, both my boys played flag football at 5, 6, 7 years old. tackling doesn't make a lot of sense at those ages but at some point parents need to make the choice in consultation with their kids that may or may not want to play tackle football. there's no big difference between starting tackle football at 12 as opposed to 14. everybody should be able to make their own decisions, parents, kids, and consultation. the idea of state coming in and saying whether or not you can play a sport is totally wrong. for once, gavin newsom and i are 100% agreement. stuart: reliability problem. if youngsters play tackle football, one gets injured, the parent goes to court and said you're liable. you allowed a dangerous sport in that school and you're going to pay me. could that be an issue? >> not really.
