Gavin Newsom ERUPTS After Greg Gutfeld DESTROYS Him On LIVE TV: The Night California’s Golden Boy Got Torched

If you thought California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hair was the only thing that couldn’t be ruffled, think again. This week, Fox News’ late-night king Greg Gutfeld took a rhetorical flamethrower to Newsom’s perfectly polished political persona—and what followed wasn’t just a roast, it was a televised demolition that left Newsom’s reputation smoldering in the ashes. Forget the usual political sparring: this was the night Newsom’s carefully crafted image finally collided head-on with reality, and reality won.

Hypocrisy in the Spotlight: Newsom’s Homeless Flip-Flop

It all started with Newsom’s latest about-face on California’s homeless crisis—a problem he spent years denying, downplaying, and, some would say, enabling. Suddenly, the man who once made tent cities part of the state’s landscape is now calling them “unacceptable,” urging cities to ban encampments from sidewalks, parks, and public spaces. The irony wasn’t lost on Gutfeld, who opened his monologue with a smirk:
“Newsom wants to clean up the streets—now that everyone’s noticed the mess. That’s like putting on a condom as you’re leaving a whorehouse.”

The studio erupted, but Gutfeld wasn’t done. He painted Newsom as the architect of a disaster now pretending to be its savior. “This isn’t a crisis that just happened,” Gutfeld jabbed. “It’s a man-made disaster—like Chernobyl, or Fox & Friends.”

The Conversation Turns Savage: Gutfeld Goes for the Jugular

As the laughter died down, Gutfeld’s tone sharpened. “You conflate order with authoritarianism, you get chaos and destruction,” he declared, eyes locked on the camera. “If restoring order is evil, then the Dems are now the party of disorder. Turns out the only system they had was wokeism, and it rotted any basic principles the party had to begin with.”

He didn’t stop at policy. Gutfeld went after Newsom’s entire political brand—the “golden boy” image, the endless buzzwords, the photo ops, the finger-wagging at other states while California’s own house burned.
“He smiles like a toothpaste commercial, tosses out buzzwords like he’s at a TED Talk, and struts around like California is a utopia of his making. But somewhere between the press briefings and the fancy dinners, reality outside the governor’s mansion started to unravel.”

On-Air Drama: Gutfeld’s Crew Joins the Pile-On

The segment turned into a full-on intervention. Co-host Jamie piped up, “Sometimes I look at footage of California and go, ‘Oh look, it’s better than my life!’” The panel burst into laughter, but the mood was electric—this wasn’t just comedy, it was catharsis.

Gutfeld’s guests piled on:
“Newsom spent billions to fix homelessness, and when it failed, he blamed the mayors,” one analyst said.
“He forced the movie industry and Silicon Valley out of the best state in the country with high taxes,” another added.
And then the kicker: “I’ve never seen someone perform so badly and still be the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.”

California: The Glittering Catastrophe

Gutfeld’s takedown wasn’t just about Newsom’s hypocrisy—it was about the California dream gone sour. He described a state where tent cities stretch for blocks, taxes chase away billionaires, and crime turns retail stores into museums of shattered glass.
“California used to sell maps of celebrity homes, not landmines,” he quipped. “Now tourists play hopscotch so their shoes don’t get hepatitis.”

The audience wasn’t just laughing—they were nodding along. Gutfeld’s truth bombs landed because they weren’t just jokes; they were reflections of a reality millions see every day.

The National Stage: Newsom’s White House Ambitions Mocked

But Gutfeld saved his sharpest knives for Newsom’s not-so-secret White House ambitions.
“It’s like watching a political magic trick in reverse,” he said. “Gutfeld peeled away every illusion Newsom constructed over the years—economic growth smoke and mirrors, climate leadership empty gestures, compassion only extended as far as the cameras reached.”

He compared Newsom’s California to a mansion with gleaming windows and manicured lawns—step inside, though, and the walls are moldy, the foundation’s cracked, and the roof leaks despair.
“It’s all illusion—a glossy shell concealing decay.”

The Final Blow: Gutfeld’s Mic Drop

Just when viewers thought Gutfeld was finished, he delivered the final blow with surgical precision.
“Newsom’s California isn’t a model—it’s a warning label,” he deadpanned. “He’s the classic wolf in sheep’s hair gel.”

He mocked Newsom’s penchant for lecturing other states while ignoring his own failures, his lockdown hypocrisy, and his willingness to veto laws when they became politically inconvenient.
“We see you, Gavin—and no amount of hair gel can smooth this over.”

Newsom’s Reaction: Meltdown Behind the Curtain

Insiders say Newsom was fuming. “He was livid,” whispered one Sacramento staffer. “He’s used to controlling the narrative. Gutfeld just ripped it out of his hands on live TV.”

Meanwhile, Newsom’s surrogates scrambled to spin the story, but the damage was done. Social media lit up with clips of the takedown, and even some Democrats privately admitted Gutfeld had landed blows that would be hard to shake off.

The Verdict: Gutfeld’s Truth Hurts

In the end, Gutfeld’s demolition of Gavin Newsom wasn’t just another Fox News zinger. It was a moment of clarity—a reminder that behind every glossy press conference and viral soundbite, there’s a reality politicians can’t hide forever. For Newsom, the night was a disaster; for viewers, it was a masterclass in how to hold power to account—with humor, with facts, and with just enough sarcasm to make the truth impossible to ignore.

As the credits rolled, Gutfeld took a sip from his mug, flashed a half-smile, and glanced at the camera. The message was clear:
“We see you, Gavin. And this time, the joke’s on you.”
