Tonight, Governor Gavin Newsom sets the agenda for Democrats, with a gamble to decide his party's

chances in 2026 and maybe his own in 28.

And the new expectations being set on the eve of the Trump-Putin summit.

So who exactly has the upper hand between these two in this picture? Plus a report into Meta's AI chat bot that says the company had a document. Get this. Allowing for sensual conversation with kids? Tonight on Laura Coates Live.

Okay, clearly, clearly, California Governor Gavin Newsom is all out of Trump's to give.

He's over the complaints, the Democrats are tiptoeing around the president.

He's over the pearl clutching in shock. He's over the party's constant headwring about just how to stop him,

even over how Trump's posts have been normalized.

Over it.

And he says that he's done talking and he's ready to act.

So today he threw aside the, when they go low, we go high mantra,

that by the way even Michelle Obama modified at the DNC. He promised to go full scorched earth against

Trump and urged other Democrats to follow suit.

He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. And as a consequence,

we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not good enough to just hold

hands, have a candlelight vigil, and talk about the way the world should be. We have got to recognize

the cards that have been dealt.

And we have got to meet fire with fire.

Well, Newsom is revealing the kind of fire that he has in mind.

He is vowed in total war over redistricting, gerrymandering, really.

He says California will draw, will move to redraw its political map in response to a Trump-back push in Texas to flip as many as five congressional seats from blue to red.

Now Newsom says it's all because Trump knows his time is running out.
