NEWS from Gavin Newsom: We'll be 'providing doctors from Arizona the ability to come into California through emergency legislation we’ll introduce with our Women’s Caucus this week.'

.Gavin Newsom: “When we're focusing on him, I do worry, electorally, that he has a slight advantage. I'm a little concerned about the overindulgence... The consequential nature of a criminal trial is profound and outsized in some respects, but not more outsized than democracy.'

“It's real… Bobby Kennedy Jr., if he gets on [the ballot] in more than just that one critical swing state of Michigan, and gets on the ballot in some of these others, I think you have to take that very, very seriously.”

Gavin Newsom on the impact of RFK Jr.

.Gavin Newsom: 'You have one of the most extraordinary records of any president in our lifetime on manufacturing and industrial policy… And it's not getting the attention because of the propaganda being spewed on those other networks.”

.Gavin Newsom: “They want to deny access not just to reproductive care, but the future of women and girls. Their life, their self-determination. I mean, this is profound. How can women support Donald Trump for election this November?”

Jen Psaki, 'Here is the obvious reality we learned this week. The majority of the Republican conference was apparently so swayed by propaganda that they voted no on the final passage of Ukraine funding forcing Speaker Johnson to rely on Democratic help.'

Just debuted on the show: An ad from Governor Gavin Newsom's PAC on reproductive rights that is going up on the air in Alabama.

Hmmm…not sure Barr has spoken with many Americans lately if that’s what he thinks

Fmr. Executive Editor for the National Enquirer Lachlan Cartwright: 'This is the first time in American democracy... that a media organization turns itself, twists itself into a criminal enterprise to help get a candidate elected. That is fundamentally what this case is about.'

.Jen Psaki: “You had an NDA…”

Fmr. National Enquirer Executive Editor Lachlan Cartwright: “Which I’m publicly breaking.”

Jen Psaki: “We all know that there can be threats and violence…”

Cartwright: “Which I’ve experienced… But this is a story of national importance.”

.Lachlan Cartwright: “David Pecker and Dylan Howard, who have written me a number of very intense legal threats... I'll be down at court and I'll be able to look them in the eyes and think, I've got out the other side of this and you blokes are here testifying about these matters.'
