“TRUMP IS GOING TO LOSE!” Newsom Blasts Trump's Corruption Ahead of Election Day

He knows he's going to lose. His presidency as we know it will end on Tuesday if we do our job. And then Derek and his colleagues will do their job. The Trump story is not complicated. It's a corruption story, period, full stop. And I'm not talking about Bibles. I'm not talking about sneakers. I'm not talking about fragrances. I'm not talking about watches, $100,000 watches. I'm not talking about guitars. You didn't even know about that. I'm talking about Qatari jets. I'm talking about $1.4 billion in crypto. I'm talking about a meme coin where he pocketed 636 million dollars and the people that bought that meme coin lost 4.8 billion dollars. I'm talking about a trade and tariff policy where he establishes in Vietnam 46% tariffs but all of a sudden those tariffs get reduced to 20% after Eric joins the Prime Minister of Vietnam and they announce approval of the golf course. For the 39% tariffs in Switzerland, and the CEO of Rolex comes in with a Rolex watch, a gold watch with 45 and 47 on it, and no sooner did that happen that the tariffs dropped from 39% to 15%. I'm talking about grift and corruption, the likes of which we have never seen in the history of this country. It is about accountability, and it's about time we have a co-executive. equal branch of government. That's why Derrick is so important, that's why you're so important, and that's why it is critical that all of us get out there, not just to vote, but make sure anyone that's on the fence, that doesn't understand how precious this moment is, and why our founding fathers lived and died. That we all go out and we meet that moment. Thank you, big time. Thank you for being here. SCIU, Olga is SCIU. Thank you for being here. ABU, thank you for being here in the House. I'm just making sure you're paying attention. And by the way, I hope you were paying attention. I think it's kind of cool, and only in San Francisco, that we have a deadhead as the Speaker Emeritus of the House of Representatives. That's as cool as it gets. It was Jerry Garcia, don't forget it, Jerry Garcia who said, you don't want to be the best of the best. You want to be the only one that does what you do. Nancy Pelosi, Exhibit A. To all of you, thank you for everything you've done. Thank you for getting us this far. We're just a few weeks away. Election Day is today, it's tomorrow, it's over the weekend. Election Day ends on November 3rd. And Donald Trump's presidency, as we know it, ends on November 3rd. As long as we do our job. As long as we do our job. You know, it's interesting just listening to Mike, listening to Zoe. It is remarkable. I don't know if you just saw what Donald Trump's DOJ did, directed by the President of the United States, up there in Alaska. This just happened a few hours ago. They said they will not certify the outcome of the election in the United States Senate race unless their Republican candidate wins. That just happened. That just happened. This guy's not screwing around. The right is ruthless. You know that. You had Jody up here. You had others up here talking about the fact they're putting us back to a pre-1960s world, putting America in reverse. Women's rights, LGBTQ rights, civil rights, voting rights, rights regression. These guys are ruthless. It is all on the line this November. This is it, guys. No dress rehearsal. If you think we're overstating it, I'll remind you what happened a year ago when we had Proposition 50 on the ballot. The morning of the election, Donald Trump sent out BORTAC teams. These are the Border Patrol Tactical Units, the Apache helicopters. They were sent out there right in front of Dodgers Stadium to chill free expression, to chill free speech. He tweeted out that morning on Truth Social, he said the election was rigged. He sent out Department of Justice monitors to prove the election was rigged. When we kicked out the campaign for Proposition 50. Many of you were there, Zoe and others. No one will forget at the Campaign for Democracy at Little Tokyo, the sacred site where we were interning the Japanese at the Democracy Center, a thousand faith leaders, a thousand labor leaders, a thousand community leaders all showed up, but there was a chill in the air. People wondering, what's going on? They said, you don't know? They said, look outside. I said, what's going on outside? Who are these people with masks? What are those unmarked cars? And who's that guy in front of all the reporters? Dressed up as he just got off the set of a Burbank studio. Dressed up in 1930s scarves. Guy by the name of Greg Lovie. We said at the time that was a preview of things to come. These guys are not screwing around and nor can we. It is all on the line this November 3rd. It's all on the line. It is. And let me just remind you, and I'm not going to go on too long, so don't worry. But this is the 250th anniversary. This is the 250th anniversary of the best of the Roman Republic, the best of Greek democracy, co-equal branches of government, popular sovereignty, and, I heard it a moment ago, the rule of law, not the rule of dawn. And I hope it's dawned on everybody. Our founding fathers did not live and die to see Mike Johnson in a supine Congress. They did not live and die to see the vandalism of truth and trust. They did not live and die to see this republic go the way that Donald Trump wants to go. So all of us need to be held to a higher level of expectation. A higher level of accountability, and none of us in the spirit of Prop 50 can run the 90-yard dash. Everything we have done to get us to this point is unbelievable. You're unbelievable, but it won't mean anything unless we run through the tape. We have to be at peak. It's 110-yard dash through Election Day. The future is not something to experience. It's something to manifest, it's inside of every single one of you, it's decisions not conditions that will determine the fate and future of San Francisco, our state and nation and the world we're trying to build. So LIUNA, SEIU, to ABU, to all the members of the public, thank you for everything you've done and thank you for what you're going to do to save this republic over the course of the next 11 days. Thank you all very much for coming out. Thank you.
