Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

A public official who can speak coherently and without obvious bull shittery between each word is one of the most refreshing things I've heard in what feels like a lifetime. Listen to the Governor speak in contrast to Trump and his half-wit cabinet.

Oh dear Lord yes. I have had a massive crush on Newsom ever since he was such a secure straight man that he married gay couples while also being yummy on the eyes. (Have been pissed at him with right-wing podcast people, but he's good now, so I'm good.)

If both the federal government and the Supreme Court become corrupt, states have several avenues for action. They can enact their own laws and policies to address corruption within their borders, including prosecuting officials, states can engage in non-cooperation with the federal government👈

Yes! Finally someone not playing defense and going on the offense! Go @governor.ca.gov! bsky.app/profile/hear...

I've been upset about Gavin's far-right guests like Bannon & Kirk. BUT he beyond redeemed himself to me this week & especially last night's presser. FACTS Experience Understanding of the law Great Communicator & Genuine outrage! Dems needed all that + someone going on OFFENSE BIGGLY!

Make AOC head of HHS. Make Pete Sec State. Make Susan Rice Sec Def. Make Jamie Dimon Sec Treas. Pick an historical GOP for Intelligence but a normal person. Elevate a trusted insider at CIA. Everything else is window dressing.

I'm a Brit' so have nothing to do with your country's politics & social wellbeing....but, it's impossible not to see the harm and road to fascism that Trump is taking you down. You've suffered a coup d'etat....This bloke speaks with integrity, intelligence and authority. He sounds like a President!

Who fucking cares? I'm an Independent who was once a Democrat and what bothers me the most is the constant talking. Either do something or accept that 1 guy is fucking the country over and they cant do shit about it. Trump is a menace and yet every branch of government fears him or can't do anything

Israel and Iran are now War. Our impotent President created this. At this point, Iran will always be perceived as the victim. Netanyahu is so stupid. Now, Iran has a free path to developing nuclear weapons and using them. And, who would blame them!

All I wanna say here is that Gov Newsom’s speech to us, his constituents, is a helluva lot more important than that old dude, Joe Rogan and his podcast. Joe Rogan jumped the shark 😂

It felt so good to see someone on MY side fighting the regime directly. Wasn't rhetoric, but a response. Even if you don't like Newsom, or think he's an opportunist, or whatever you have against him, he said what we've been dying to hear. He expressed righteous anger in a very digestible way.

Comparing the Governor of California to Hollywood Hasbeens is a bit silly. I mean Rogan is abhorrable, as are the posse that hang on his every word, but he's toytown spinning stories of no value. His 15 minutes is wrapping up. #EndTrumpism #Impeach47 #ImpeachTrumpSycophantGOP

A popular speech? Democrats are complicit in loss of free speech, especially on Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Democrat leaders have served the rich for 40 yrs. Let's see Newsom join the people in the streets this Saturday, June 14 to protest ICE abuses. Otherwise, he's just more hot air.

This is a bit much he is doing what he should be doing in this moment and that's good. The bar is in hell if doing your job the way you should makes you a rising star. dems should be this in the fight all the time but are to busy trying to protect rich donor than We The People. The cowardice is loud

We need all governors to step up & speak to what is right, what is legal, what is constitutional & what is not. We all know the trump administration is a nest of the most reprehensible people to ever hold office. It would be great to hear legally elected representatives speak out about that!

See this is what I'm talking about Ben Pride isn't a symptom of narcism it's the root cause it's what gets me so upset watching Creator's viewing polls and asking to get to so many views. I'm not religious but I understand it.

Do all voters really want to listen to more “ MAGA bro “ talk on podcasts or MAGA talk radio, or even sports shows? My city talk radio stations have all day shows of MAGA men riling up callers, & just 6 hours a week of fill in hosts who are more moderate. It’s been 10 years now of hourly Trump talk

That would be a first, wouldn’t it? No really, would it? I’m not very familiar with his podcast. I’m not a big fan but I’ve been under the impression that he’s known for bringing in a variety of guests, often shutting down the ones who actually make good points. So maybe not.

👏🏼👏🏼Govener Gavin Newsom as absolutely amazing his character truly shines he understands the constitution Unlike Donnie a want a b dictator and now after the judges ruling the National Guard will be under his command 🫶🏻 I think Governor Newsom would make a excellent president of the United States 🇦🇺💖🇺🇸

It's very, very sad that the political state in America is affected by a podcaster who literally used to host a show where people ate rocky mountain oysters to advance. Same people only know Trump from Apprentice. Whatever happened to substance over nonsense

These f-ing fascists must be stopped. Bring friends, families, neighbors to No Kings day. After, find ppl in your area and get active. Indivisible, Working Families Party, SURJ, yr union, church/temple group- we all do our part now or it’s over. Let’s go, America! 🇺🇸 🔥

I wonder what the number of Gen Z viewers are watching Fox. I think mostly seniors watch Fox and they vote in larger numbers than Gen Z. My parents have Fox on all day. I fixed their cable and the first thing they did was sit down and change the channel to Fox like lemmings.

Probably the ones living with their parents still. Unfortunately, in this country, it’s very difficult to land a job that provides a living wage at this point. So imagine the number of 20,30,40+ yo adult children who have no choice but to live in their parent’s house.

It's a tough thing to crack, but it's doable. The big hurdle seems to be the DNC itself- David Hogg advised running more popular candidates and engaging in unconventional outreach, and he got booted for his troubles. We need to convince our leaders that we need to DO SOMETHING and quick.

Seriously, I can't watch news on TV. I will watch c-span. When Congress is in session. Otherwise I get my news from Youtube channels. Midas, LegalAF, Talking Feds, Glenn Kirshner, Steph Miller, Political girl, Malcom Nance.. I follow soooo many Brian Cohan....o sooo many great people and podcast

Maybe somebody with connections could show this and explain to senile corrupt grandpa Schumy what YouTube is and how it works And while they’re at it can’t they show him Some brochures about fishing or golfing and nudge him over that ever looming finish line he unknowingly passed a decade ago….

I watched Gavin Newsom, loved his speech. It was refreshing to hear someone who actually made sense - speak again. I have not always been a Newsom fan but I am now! This is exactly what our Senators and Congressmen should be doing, he gets it - the way to counter the garbage!

If Gavin is smart, he'll take this momentum to take the French Laundry, Water policy, and Homelessness on the chin, and turn them into peccadillos in comparison to inferno of 47. He should do so while out-slickin Trump and offering normalcy & middling progressive policy.

Elevating a comic to the level of a beloved governor of the world's fifth largest evonomy and lifeline for the rabid, hateful, poor southern states is dumb.

An elected Governor for the 4th largest economy in the world, has more viewers than a former actor/“comedian” on social media platform… is anyone else feeling the need to hit themselves in the head with a large rock?

Can't we just say, "Newsome did great. His message is reaching a large audience"? (Need I mention Booker?) MeidasTouch is in LA and extremely engaged on social media, so it's impossible for them to be unaware of how many in CA, on both sides, feel about him.

Who cares how popular……it was a speech that cut through the crap, gave Americans the story as it unfolded, setup the scenarios going forward and gave American confidence and hope we can stop this vulgar authoritarian movement

Newsomes doing good in a battle of wits with Donny but Mr. “It’s illegal to be homeless” is gonna have to take a sharp left turn if he wants to be a potus the left will support.

Yeah, be weary of any politician CNN is pushing. Newsom is my governor, and while he’s meeting the moment, he’s not the one to look to if we all want a better future. He’s corporate and in donors pockets just like the rest. Real progress won’t happen under a centrist. Sorry.

#GavinNewsom Trump says those people were paid listeners infiltrating Gavin’s YouTube speech and inflating his….numbers ! Oh and let’s not forget he’s governor of the state paying for all the loser red states with their taxes. Noem-nut says it’s socialist. Are socialists providing those funds ?
