Former Texas Governor Rick Perry criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom during an interview on ‘The Will Cain Show,’ accusing him of being ‘out of tune’ with the national narrative regarding President Trump’s decision to federalize National Guard troops. Perry suggested that News,om’s approach reflects a lack of alignment with broader political and security concerns.
The discussion came as part of a broader debate about state versus federal authority, with Perry arguing that Newsom’s response to the federalization move demonstrates a failure to understand the implications for state sovereignty. Critics argue that the federalization of National Guard units could weaken state control over these forces, a concern that Perry emphasized during the interview.
