who does governor newsom appoint?will not be, we understand, any of these people because he does not want to give an advantage to any of those candidates in the race itself. now, the governor had said on msnbc that he planned to appoint a black woman to that position, and he says he has a short list. it would not be all that disrespectful for him to say kind things about feinstein, and then as soon as, perhaps, the end of business day, say who is going to be the interim senator from california. because the governor can do that, he can appoint an interim senator immediately. again, it will not be any of these three people, but if that interim senator wants to run to keep her spot, she would then run against those people that you just saw, the three democrats in a primary. this has happened five times before in california history that a governor has had to appoint, for one reason or not, a senator, sometimes it's for a happy reason. the most recent reason was because our senator, kamala harris, became vice president of

it falls to newsom to appoint her term. it won't be easy to fill the shoes of such a long and distinguished ycareer. as her senate bio reflect, she was the first woman president of the board of supervisor shs the first woman mayor of san francisco, the first woman elected senator of california, the first woman member and first woman ranking member of of the senate judiciary committee. the first woman to chair the rules and administration committee and the first woman to chair the senate intelligence committee. senator feinstein served for nine years as a supervisor starting in 1969. she became mayor of san francisco in 198 following the assassination of george mast cone and harvey milk. she had 15 months left in her senate term. there's already a race in progress among three house members seeking the normination barbara lee, porter and schiff. newsom said in the circumstances he would select a black female, but also ruled out appointing any of the candidates seeking the office in next year's election. given the slim margin

newsom himself is discovering this the hard way.cently said in an interview that his kids are on a pathway to a microcult by listening to the likes of andrew tate, joe rogan and jordan peterson, but is it a pathway to a cult or being saved from their dad's insane life philosophy because as scott add dal points out the harder the left try to raise the children on the right the more andrew tate will be raising the children on the left. and at least no one is trying to sniff them. [laughter] >> greg: i guess in gavin's world kids could choose their gender but not their opinions. it's funny. the definition of a cult is keeping people from contacting people not in the cult, and silencing speech. but isn't that what the democrats are doing to parents and just about anyone who disagrees with them? perhaps many lefties, with good intentions as they always do and at some level they believe in all of this [ bleep ], but in the end reality shows up to ruin things. mike tyson once said everyone has plan until they get punched in the mouth. i le

newsom signed adds another 11% tax.p of that. >> there is a pattern that's solved from leadership, and that pattern is being advanced here in terms of the strategies and solutions that we know statistically, the data bears fruit, save lives and reduce gun violence and gun deaths. >> the money collected from the tax will be used to pay for more security at public schools and for various violence prevention programs. >> us regulators and 17 states are teaming up to sue amazon, accusing the company of being a monopoly. the suit claims amazon inflates online prices and stifles competition by burying listings offered at lower prices on other sites. this mirrors allegations made in a separate lawsuit last year by the state of california. amazon has not responded to a request for comment. the lawsuit filed this morning is one of the most significant legal challenges brought against the company in its nearly 30 year history. >> we're getting a better idea of what's in the tentative agreement that ended the writers guild strike.

now, newsom has challenged desantis to debate him for months and months and was first asked about it during his sit-down interview with sean hannity back in june. >> i'm all in, count on it. >> you would do a two-hour debate with ron desantis. >> make it three. >> 3-hour debate do i hear four. >> do it with one-day notice with no notes, i look forward to that we did talk about his demonization and his assault. >> reporter: desantis agreed to debate in august while also appearing on hannity just saying quote just tell me when and where but he says this debate is about more than just their differences, it's about the state of each of their states they govern. >> the debate between california and florida, you know, has already been had as you suggest. people have been voting on that. they've been voting on it with their feet. they have fled california in record numbers, florida has been the number one state for net immigration. >> reporter: newsom says he's a no-go for a white house run at least for now but desantis insists their debate will say a lot about the future direction of the c

newsom has the right approach >> i think he will make a good call. i trust his values and i think that whomever he chooses as a caretaker will do everything they can to represent california well. >> reporter: a spokesperson for newsom said on friday no new information on when or who the governor will appoint. >>> coming up, our coverage continues with a look at senator feinstein's influence on the cable car and other bay area treasures. plus a look at our weather. >>> clouds roll into the bay area this afternoon. they are widespread across the region right now. these clouds are going to produce showers beginning already this evening. we will track it hour by hour looking at the future cast, coming up . >>> we reached the end of the workweek. we almost reached the end of september and we are looking at a chance of showers in the forecast as we finish off the month of september. not always a give in. showers, trying to roll in. those will be more numerous later tonight into saturday morning. unsettled saturday overall. not a wash out. be flexible. we c

here is part two of my interview with governor gavin newsom.t quality of l life. >> [laughs] i will give you dee's back. >> sean: you can put them around the governor's mansion. listen, it may seem, and you are varied. i appreciate your passion for your state and i appreciative fact that you fight for the things that you believe in and is goes back to the original premise of not only this discussion because this really is a friendly discussion. there's no personal dampness between us. it is just i don't agree with your views. you are very good and given a reason and for losing population and a higher income state tax. i'm going to ask you about the homeless population. you have stores now in san francisco because of smash and grab robberies. they are leaving. target is the other. there is at least three, whole foods is the other. they are leaving san francisco. my question to you is between taxes, bureaucracy, crime, homelessness, and he homeless numbers are not really good for you and your state. >> i will acknowledge that. it is a disgrace wi

newsom signed an executive order aimed at preparing students for the workforce.nia is investing billions and billions of dollars to advance the cause that unites shook hands with global leaders. welcome >> and hasn't shied away from taking on red state governors even setting the stage to debate one of the top gop presidential contenders. florida governor ron desantis. well, publicly newsom has endorsed president biden's reelection campaign inspired by the master class last 2 and a half years. and i mean, and i mean masterclass in terms of delivering results. >> polls show voters are concerned about president biden's energy and age. now, 80 years old. >> in our news nation decision desk poll respondents overwhelmingly favored a primary challenge for biden. it with democrats favoring gavin newsom. just as much as bernie sanders. this is exciting. there's also calls to current vice president kamala harris off the ticket in 2024. >> low polling numbers among democrats have some in the party thinking of other high-profile prospects like new. so setting up a california

california governor gavin newsom.minute debate will be moderated by sean hannity on fox news in november. newsom, who has been rallying support for the biden-harris ticket, repeatedly saying he is not running for president in 2024, was asked again on 60 minutes sunday. >> i'm just cleaning up the streets of california. factor into potential presidential run. >> i'm never going to over promise that in the short run. i mean, we are struggling in this state. >> is that a yes or no? >> that was was a never ending response to your question. >> his face to face showdown with desantis has been debated for some time. newsom spokesperson saying, we've agreed to the debate, provided there is no cheering section, no hype videos. we want a real debate, not a circus. desantis team saying whether newsom or biden is the democratic nominee in 24. they both offer the same failed and dangerous ideas for america that helped get us in this mess. but before the governor square off, seven gop candidates are prepping for tomorrow night's pr

against governor gavin newsom to appoint her successor., if you were cashbacking you could earn on everything with just one card. chase freedom unlimited. so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking. cashback on flapjacks, baby backs, or tacos at the taco shack. nah, i'm working on my six pack. switch to a king suite, or book a silent retreat. silent retreat? hold up - yeeerp? i can't talk right now, i'm at a silent retreat. cashback on everything you buy with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. >> the sudden death of senator dianne feinstein is raising the question who will replace her in the u.s. senate? it is up to governor newsom to appoint a temporary of sen. well, the governor has committed to choosing a black woman. he recently said it would not be anyone who's now running for feinstein's seat. so that means want the east. congresswoman barbara lee as kron four's dan kerman tells us this whole thing become a political minefield for newsom. >>

and newsom has also said he doesn't want to pick one of the candidates. right.otherwise, barbara lee would be the natural person to pick. but if not her, then who? right, right. so is there is there a method? do you have to pick from a certain group or a certain position in politics for that job? or could you pick anybody? i assume you could pick any any united states citizen who is maybe i guess they'd have to be a resident of fresno, california, and 30 years old. and so, you know what? you and i could we could we could be candidates. fill the hole. fill the hole. right. right. but but if governor newsom wants to pick an african-american woman who is willing to be the interim senator until november 2024, that's a vanishingly short list . right. so he will have to think that through of what to do . secretary of state shirley weber, mayor karen bass in los angeles, or she's new. she's new to the job. she's new to the job. she previously said she wasn't interested, but i was thinking of mayor breed london breed that is a we were watching her press conference and h

newsom said it himself. you hope it doesn't happen, and you've got to be red and the problem for newsom right now there are a lot of good talented black women up and down politics and erected office but very few of them if a want to leave their post for a short pier. you're talking about a few months they would serve ashat you call a praiseholder, okay, and that's the problem and then there's barbara lee. >> and why not barbara lee. well-known in northern and southern california. why not just say if it comes to that we'll go with barbara lee. >> fair question. >> what newsom says i would tilt it tn. we've got three people, among others. these are the tee leaders. you see it right there on e screen. she's in a tight spot, number three. a lot of undecideds early on, and it's been that way for a long time. the lead for the first two schiff and porter have been separated from least. imagine what happens if lee becomes the incumbent. there will be a tremendous advantage and it's what newsom says. he's backed into

newsom pledged to appoint a black woman to fill any senate vacancy. lee the only black woman in the race. but you're going to abide by it, would be a essentially a caretaker, an african-american woman. we hope we never have to make this decision. but i, i abide by what i've said very publicly on a consistent basis. yes an african-american woman who is appointed should be able to run, if, in fact, that's what her decision is. she should not be precluded and prohibited from running for an election. lee told me this would represent another barrier black women face in politics. we have been the backbone of the democratic party. after we have supported so many candidates, after we have done so much of the heavy lifting in this country. and that is infuriates for many, including organizations like black women for political action , who said they would consider newsom side stepping lee a broken promise. we don't want a holding position. we don't want to stop gap measure. but it is time for them to respond and support us. so we are extremely upset. newsom's t

governor gavin newsom joined the ceo of salesforce, marc benioff, for a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence in california, and that's an especially important conversation in san francisco, because the mayor has been trying to turn the city into a hub for the emerging technology. now, with more than 40,000 attendees at dreamforce, governor newsom had an interested audience, a.i. and the practical applications of the technology have been the major conversations at the event this year. but his visit here also comes just a day after his administration pledged $81 million to fund projects across the state that will help move people from homeless encampments into housing. newsom also pledged more than a quarter of a billion dollars to be spent fighting organized retail theft. that's of particular interest to san francisco, which has seen many retailers close up shop recently. now, the dreamforce conference has become a bit of a test for san francisco after months of negative headlines about crime and homeless encampments, and attendees so far say they're having a good t

a showdown with newsom could be a worthy spotlight. meanwhile the biden campaign is reportedly sending governor newsom to tomorrow's gop debate to speak on behalf of the president's policies. rhiannon andrew lionel, thank you. >> coming up, remembering a beloved star from tv's ncis. >> also ahead, demanding answers after a former gets a standing ovation in the canadian parliament i'm steve. i lost 138 pounds in 9 months on golo and taking release. golo saved my life. i was way overweight, and that's what sent me down the path, was i--i wanted to make sure and live for my kid. plain and simple. new nature's bounty hair growth. help grow thicker, fuller hair with just one capsule a day of advanced hair complex. conquer hair thinning... ...and fall in love with your hair all over again. only from nature's bounty. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire with

now governor gavin newsom has the duty of appointing a caretaker who will hold her seat through nextelection. we have more on why this decision is so important. >> reporter: elected officials say it is important to take the time to remember and mourn the passing of senator feinstein but they say it's also important for the governor to quickly appoint a successor. oakland political analyst said governor newsom is facing a big dilemma. >> it is a very big deal because not that many senate seats are available. >> reporter: newsom previously said he would appoint a black woman but not representative barbara lee of oakland, polls have shown she is trailing her two opponents, katie porter and adam schaff. >> if you give her the appointment, she kind of leaps over everybody else. >> reporter: here is what newson said two weeks ago. >> i don't want to tip the balance. >> but, it would essentially be a caretaker, an african american woman. >> we hope we never have to make this decision but i abide by what i said very publicly and on a consistent basis. >> reporter: the east congressman is sup

. >> newsom must now decide who will survive the rest of her term. you will need to appoint someone. there is already controversy surrounding that process. >> reporter: you know this sets the second senate appointment for governor newsom since he became governor. we know there are three high- profile democrat vying for that seat including east bay congresswoman barbara lee newsom has been clear that his choice won't be anyone who is already applying to the job. >> he does not have the luxury of time anymore because we had a looming government shutdown. we had a very narrow majority in the congress right now in the senate, democrats. >> professor explains governor newsom can either appoint someone or hold a special election but he must move fast. the governor has previously said if the seat ever came open early, he would appoint a black woman to finish the term, a promise he began making after being heavily criticized for appointing alex madia to fill, harasses senate seat. >> he is holding to that promise. at the same time, he said he will be staying

so now who will governor newsom appoint to her position?he controversy that is already swirling around that decision. spec that we are following breaking news involving this inference is go giants. the team announced it has fired manager gabe kepler. what the front office is saying about this move. >>> good friday everyone. the news at 5:00 starts right now. i am janel. >> in time jessica. she did it her way even until the very end. from the san francisco board of supervisors for more than three decades as california senior senator, tonight we are remembering dianne feinstein. >> she died at her dc home. she was 90 years old. the senator died of natural causes. her daughter kathryn was by her side. >> we want to take you to the nation's capital. tonight slides were flying at half staff in honor of diane feinstein. president and has flags at the white house be lowered. on the senate floor, a powerful tribute to the late senator. her seat covered with a black cloth. on top of that, a bouquet of white roses. >> here in the bay area, mourners h

but, when people see governor gavin newsom and you are a democrat.think a lot of people are going to go, you know what? why isn't that guy our nominee? why aren't we talking about that guy? that kind of talk actually has the white house -- >> lawrence: i love they are debating. two states. successful state in florida and failing state in california. the only thing that worries me a little bit is gavin newsom has this finesse about him. he has the ability to sell bad ideas. he is a charismatic politician. obamaesque. so it's going to be some sparks to fly. i believe it's going to be a thorough debate. sean hannity has made it clear that he doesn't want to interrupt. he wants them to go at it and defend their ideas, brian. >> brian: so, a couple of things. the problem with gavin newsom, it's on the tip of my tongue, everything he does sucks. he raises taxes, he raises the number of homeless. gas is $6.38. in the beautiful state that offers literally everything, he has more people leaving and coming from the first time in history. people who know him we

gavin newsom catered to them during covid.s and businesses suffered, churches suffered, he was only interested in democratic dollars. he is waiting to be called in to run for president. >> ainsley: doesn't he need to take responsibility, he is the governor. he said, it is not me, it is us collectively. >> leo: he deflects blame to everyone else. there were role model states that did not shut down, gavin newsom hand said out fafors for those who gave him dollars. look at children, i was a former school teacher, our kids suffer. churches suffered by gavin newsom didn't get dollars from them and california suffered and during covid a lot of people from california left because they were sick and tired of progressive democratic governor tutored by nancy pelosi who was sitting there waiting for dollars. >> ainsley: if they put gavin newsom in, what happens? does she have a shot? >> leo: he wants to run, he is sell vating, he has zero record to run on. california is a disaster. 1st time in my life i wanted to leave california because

the guy, the lodestar for gavinn newsom is gavin newsom's political future. right. and so tical fu he's going to me the pick that makes the best sense for him. >> now, maybe it's maybe f him it's your girl, maxine waters. >> i girl, you're going to want to. absolutely.. s and maybe it's your girl, maxine, but probably not. right. so if he was givengirtunity to a the opportunity to a pathway, he's campaigning in every singlethin way except pretending to be loyal to joe biden. >> is this crazy? is this a crazy idea? is that actually something in consideration? >> realisticallynsiderat, are yt being good television? >> i'm being good. tell you. so no, i have nof idea if it's possible. but moving into the churn, moving those chess pieces creates the opening opportunity. >> because here's what i know. the lodestar of the democrat party is today and the media and everybody else stop trump, right. >> trying to tak o takehee the name off of his building five blocks from here through if they can stop him by making this move, they will. >> do you think they think >> do yo tha

it is now up to governor newsom to appoint someone to finish out her term. governor has committed to choosing a black woman, but he did recently say it will not be anyone running for feinstein's seat. so that means that will not be congresswoman a barb early in the interim as kron four's dan kerman reports that has created a political minefield for the governor. interim appointment. it was just weeks ago that the governor confirmed if he had to appoint someone to fill out senator dianne feinstein's term. >> it would be someone on an interim basis, not one of those running for her seat in 2024 primaries just a matter of months away. i don't want to tip the balance of that. congresswoman barbara lee slammed the governor saying the idea that a black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless black women. political analysts say those comments also reduce the list of caretaker appointees. can't imagine any high-profile black woman, democrat in california except in the appointment because of this like was at the b

pete: he will do what benefits gavin newsom. watch this pick.should do is appoint kamala harris. appoint kamala harris, check that box, move her out. she is never going to be president. she already does have -- it is -- it is terrible that it has got to be a black woman. >> they are the bean counters, they are the bean counters, can i go wildcard at you? all right. he said it has to be a black woman. i was just going to say it could be meghan markle and you could be sure that meghan markle, you can laugh at that but you can be sure that she is lobbying for herself right now, this is why she tried to be friends with jill biden, she had her mind on this for a long time. i bet she predicted this could happen long before any of us thought about it. it is interesting, she's a black woman. as much as we make fun of her and don't like her and most people over the age of 40 don't find her appealing, a lot of young people do. he could hit both. just putting it out. >> opera. how many celebrities still live in california. >> she lives near meghan markle i

governor newsom has pledged to governor newsom, rather, has pledged to pick a black woman to fill the seat. abc's seven news reporter zach fuentes has a look at some of the potential choices. >> as the country and state processes the death of senator dianne feinstein, attention is also focused on who will fill her senate seat and how that will happen. >> so governor newsom has a big decision to make, and he has a very short time to make it. the last time the governor had to appoint someone to the senate was when kamala harris became vice president. >> he appointed then secretary of state alex padilla. >> he took five weeks to make that decision. he doesn't have that luxury now right now, we're facing a government shutdown. we democrats have a narrow majority in the senate. >> adam schiff, barbara lee and katie porter entered the race for feinstein's seat after she announced she wouldn't seek reelection in 2024. in his statement honoring feinstein friday, newsom said nothing about who would fill her seat. but earlier this month, on nbc's meet the press, newsom said he would not select

the dems are the wife and the tennis pro is gavin newsom. that's what's happening. and the gaffing, feels like we're getting to the bottom of that jar of mayo with joe. there's nothing left to scrape out with the knife and you can turn it upside down and pat the bottom really hard but you get nothing but a soiled hand. i think joe biden at this point is about as popular with the democrats as i am. so i think this is it. it's grinding, the machine is turning, they're pushing him out. he has no clue, though. >> jesse: schtupping. >> greg: yeah. >> judge jeanine: would you like to just throw something out without asking you a direct question >> harold: so polls capture moments and you can be guided by polls and instructed by polls. anyone that says that this poll should not be considered seriously is not on the level. >> judge jeanine: you mean karine jean-pierre when she said that >> harold: i think anyone. >> judge jeanine: so you don't consider her on the level? >> harold: i didn't see everything she said but anyone that doesn't consider this serious, you have to ta

gavin newsom is in an interesting spot. if he goes too far he's looked at as being bad, replacing the first female vice president. that's the conundrum they're in. they've got a president who is talking about dying, a president whose numbers are terrible, you've got a vice president that nobody likes on polling and gavin newsom out there, if everybody was exposed to what he believes probably would be a problem too and i think that's going to be their bigger issue. they are stuck in a position of where do we go. i go back to the point, all the polls including democrats who say they don't believe would serve a second term, didn't turn around and vote for him in these polls. it's a long way to go. maria: i think gavin newsom is waiting for the directive from the democrats and there's been lots of speculation that he's related to nancy pelosi by the way, the fact is, is governor newsom's aunt was once married to ron pelosi, nancy pelosi's brother-in-law. they divorced but there was a time they were a family and reof lated becau
