In this commentary, the speaker attacks Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to "Trump-proof" California, arguing that the recent 2024 election demonstrated that such efforts failed nationally. He portrays the Democratic Party as being in disarray, suggesting that Newsom may be the best Democratic presidential option for 2028, though he also notes that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro might be a contender, albeit more left‑leaning. The speaker further compares Newsom and Shapiro unfavorably to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, labeling both as ineffective governors. Overall, the segment blends criticism of a specific state strategy with broader skepticism about Democratic leadership and future electoral prospects.

But Gavin Newsom, he's going to Trump-proof, uh, California. You had Charlamagne— that was correct— to ask the question, how exactly are you going to do that? And honestly, we just had an election that proved Trump-proofing the United States of America didn't work. So it's the dumbest thing ever, but it just shows you the disarray that the, uh, Democrat Party is in. And Gavin Newsom, at least at this point, is probably their best bet at 2028. Josh Shapiro may be, uh, but Josh Shapiro is more to the left than people— I think people realize. I just think he's— I, I, I think he's better at communication. I do think he's better at governing than Gavin Newsom, but frankly, I think there's 49 states that are better at governing, uh, than Gavin Newsom. Uh, maybe he's tied with Kathy Hochul, the nanny of New York. Uh, so both of them are probably equally horrible.
