I have no love for Newsom, and don't doubt this post's premise, but the video also cuts off before he actually gets to respond; it just shows him nodding along saying "yup" as Ben is talking before (presumably) responding with actual words. I'm curious what was actually said when it was his turn to speak.
Then you can go watch the full video and know what he said
That would require searching for Ben Shapiro content
Which again is a problem as it's newsoms own fucking podcast where again he brings in and agrees with a massive right wing idiot influencer. He is more than happy to agree with Ben than implement things his citizens want or have voted for
