This is how you know someone is a loving and attentive father. When a child wants them when they’re tired
If you think this wasn't scripted, I've got some oceanfront property in Oklahoma I can sell you
@Natalie Lang you got a problem with a dad sharing his work and accomplishments with his kids? Yikes
I really wouldn’t read too much into his family life. This is a man who had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager. Imagine the level of that kind of betrayal not only your wife, but your close confident.
@MissE Mc I agree with the Gov. that a wall is the last thing we need. I might send him a campaign contribution. Thank you for telling me how awesome he is.
Being a kid is so freeing. You genuinely don’t care about little things or people’s reactions. 😍
@Just Memin Isn’t this an example of what your were literally just arguing against?
@WestTexas_ he didn't say that, he said you seem to have a problem with that.
You certainly aren’t interested in getting into online arguments at that age. Just look at this thread 🤦♂️
I’m crying the kid got stage fright but wouldn’t leave his dad 😭 he looked so torn trying to decide if he should go back down or not lol
@Poopy Boi He's just a kid, what do you expect?
I always laugh my ass off whenever I write lmao
Tbh, if I was the kid I would go running back to my dad too and I’m literally 13 and I go hide behind my dad when he’s around cuz he’s the only family member who truly towers over me so I feel safer around those I can easily hide behind.
@rotting ik, if your comment gets deleted so many times your account gets banned. But I mean that's kinda taking a way freedom of speech. Sometimes I'm not even saying swear words but it still gets deleted which is annoying. But yeah, youtube arguments are in every comments nowadays
Aww, the innocence of when you have no idea what daddy does for a living. He just wanted to be with dad.
@Allegra Anegra 🤣🤣🤣
@A. S. Please stop my lungs are gonna explode i beg you
@Allegra Anegra LMAOO 😭
That kid stood at the stairs looking out to the audience like
“I want to leave. But I don’t want you to watch me leave. Therefore I will stand here in terror.”
Lies again? Back Stage
The frozen deer in headlights look🤣🤣🤣
Omigod....YES. 😂😂
Honestly for an sleepy kid he was really chill. All the kids I know (including myself) had very strong tantrums when they lacked sleep, this baby was like a plushie, just wanted some daddy cuddles.

Word!
Yepp
@Dalton Astbury 👎🏼
That eye rub and putting the head down is like a universal move for kids when they sleepy lol
Well, i'm almost 27 and i'm rubbing my head and get heavy eyes after a sleepless night like this, too 🤷🏻♂️
Suddenly their heads get really heavy. We call it a case of the “heavy heads” in my family.
He was like "My daddy is on stage, so I'm alloweed to stay up here with him." This was too freaking cute.
Didn’t want him to kick and scream and start crying so they let him be. He’s adorable and was doing well up there.
My mom was a teenage mom. I remember a video about mom's graduation when she's giving a valedictorian speech (?). I ran towards the stage and started crying (idk why I was crying probably because of people) I was 2/3 that time before she excuse herself, pick me up and gave me to my father.
-don't mind me just enjoying my memory with my mom. She passed away 3 months ago due to ovarian cancer.
Oh my- im so sorry to hear
thought this was wholesome at first the last part was not something i was expecting.sorry for your lost
This comment took a turn I was not prepared for.
Sorry dear
I'm not sorry for your loss I don't understand what concept is this but hope you will get through this
Honestly this is HILARIOUS whether you like him or not. Kids are innocent when born and this was so so cute 😂
@VSTutorials4You my career path includes psychology. in my personal experience as well as my educational experience, coping comes in many shapes and forms. if religion gives someone a will, meaning, hope, etc, it is a way they cope with life. religions are not useless.
So precious, only parents would understand what's going on in a child's mind, he just wanted daddy, he didn't care if he was home or at the office. A hoot!!!! Beautiful.
@James Hama Huh?! Why are you working so far from your home? This is so interesting! What in the world is going on in God lush green grasses?
@Sweet Sop Comedy I'm from los angeles CA but now working in Korea and will be leaving any moment from now to my daughter Amanda.. what about you
@James Hama and hello to you? Which country are you from?
Hello Friend how are you doing today
This is the most chill toddler I’ve ever seen
0:09 the way he’s carrying his son with that pose , it was like : “SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE SON !”
AH, THIS IS TOO CUTE, BABIES MAKE US SMILE. LOVED IT ::))
From a politician to a normal dad so fast
@Kane Nee I'm afraid so
@Flawless Victory Is that a bad thing?
@Kane Nee you have emptied you're own ocean
@Julian Noguera perfect example of why the show must go on
I love how his som tries to cuddle with him, such a sweet neck cuddle. Just the wrong time. Haha
That's a real dad right there. :D Professional yet patient to his kids.
That is so adorable. It shows he is a caring father.
Ah, this is adorable! Love how he just goes with it and picks up the boy. So sweet.
I wish I could be a kid again! So refreshing to see his behavior. What a nice dad
That's sweet. You know that he's doing something right when a little will get up in front of the room for a huggle from their dad. No matter what else he's doing in life he's doing great as a dad.
I love him turning around with his blankie and halfway waving, halfway pointing at some sucker in the audience to signal that he knows they also want to be picked up, but he owns this dad and will dominate all rights to it.
That was so sweet and so “normal”. It showed politicians to be human!
Love this ❤️ people are saying that this little boy gave his dad great publicity & the fact that he kept running back to his daddy shows that the dad is very caring & hands-on
Hey Lauren hope you're okay?
Exactly
I think so too
what a precious moment at least his daddy knows what cuddles at sleepy times means to his son.
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
Such a cute boy. Loves his father and that's all! Doesn't matter what event he is at )))
That was cute no both parts, little guy because he wants his daddy, and daddy being a good father, not getting upset, not trying to get his wife up to take him away, just doing what good fathers do, and holding his child despite being in the middle of his inauguration speech. 😁♥️👍🏻
Hwhhwu ❤️❤️👍🎅💖😸🤣😉
I see this child to become a stage guy in the future. You see the passion on him looking at the audience.
That’s a real dad. You knows he’s a hand on dad when his kids run towards them.
Bruh he aint hands on that was planned
@Allison Hello. How are you doing?
and a crappy governor
That's heart warming.❤❤❤
This is really cute! 😂😻
Lil man just wanted his dad. This is so wholesome 🤣❤️
That says a lot about him ❤️
I love how he's in like a little suit but still has a pacifier in his mouth
@Maximus Asauluk I know some child psychologists say if they really need it for stressful situations and it actually soothes them you should allow them to have it just not for long periods of time and I agree like who are adults to take away a childs coping mechanism I mean he is on stage infront of a bunch of strangers. They also may turn to sucking on fingers if their not ready which is kinda worse considering germs and possible infection.
That’s not a suit
@SRSO it absolutely is. My fiancés son is almost 4 with a pacifier and is in diapers and he can’t talk properly due to the pacifier and it has really messed up his teeth
@Joanne L Terrible analogy, because that’s not the point I was making. Using a pacifier doesn’t always mean a baby will need braces. Not using a pacifier won’t mean your baby will have perfect teeth. Which is fact. I never said pacifiers can’t cause teeth issues. Your attempted humorous comparison was idiotic.
The child speaks about better policy than his own father. He knows what every child in the area needs, because he knows what it feels like to be a child. The father should have listened to the child.
I can't wait for this kid to grow up and have to look back on this as part of his childhood.
Hello Rose how are you doing today
I love that we are normalising being a parent, have stop pretending and starting to acknowledge that we have a family and responsibilities, and that along with work, they have a space in our life too.
Awwwwwww that's such a cute baby. Stay blessed!
Adorable kid. Just gave his dad unbelievably good publicity. Hope he gets a reward for it.
@Pre destinated What ? Thats the stupidest thing I have heard stop making evrything about race
@Pre destinated I'm pretty sure people of every skin tone can relate to what happened in that video.
@Nanof Urbiznis absolutely hilarious.
@Pre destinated Ah yes one of those people who turns everything into a racial argument
This last speech of the governor was inspiring!
Love how even after being caught he reaches for dad (1:30)
Dad: I'm a politician
Son: Oh... let me help your career
Awwww this was hilarious and heartwarming
The way he just stands at the stairs like “IS ANYONE GONNA COME GET ME HELLO????” 😂😂😂
@Sandra Green I’ve never heard anyone call someone a snowflake and be right in the same sentence, and at this point I’m just gonna assume that I never will.
And then tries to get away as fast as he can when they do
@Alma Bet they way they didn't respond because they must’ve been embarrassed😂
That’s actually pretty cute and shows they are down to earth parents. .. not utilizing a nanny, and involving their children. Love it!
If only you knew. I was wondering where the Nanny was.
It's the exact opposite in my house. My son goes to his dad when he wants to play because I'm boring and I don't have the upper body strength for his toss me around games and he comes to me when sleepy. Even his grandma admits she wouldn't try to put him to bed. I went to the movies, came back after 10pm and my 7 30 pm bedtime son had defeated the whole house. He wasn't in my arms for 10 minutes and he was out cold.
A precious darling. A lovable friend. To be protected.
That's adorable. The oboe makes it even better. ❤💖
Как мило, малыш так любит своего папу 🥰
My son did this once during my nieces primary school award ceremony 😅 He wanted to join in with the singing and dancing and would not get of the stage 🙄 But the kids enjoyed playing with so it was fine 😅
1:34 When the kid was so adorable to the point that someone from the audience was even imitating its tiny hand movements
I love how gentle and kind the elder brother is to him.. he's not pushy and tries to bring his brother back and not force him
my latina mother would have just stared at me and i would have known in that moment that i was going to die.
Same for the Indian mother..🤣🤣
Hilarious, lol
@Lilia Benavides 😂😂😂
Whenever I embarrassed my mother in public (usually by contradicting what she had just said), and she smiled sweetly, I knew xIau was coming once we were alone😂😂😂😂😂
@Allied Universal nah
He's such a brave kiddo. He really said: "dont mind me, Im just here to take my pa"
That's both hilarious and heartwarming. What a precious little bugger XD
4 kids, his wife looks terrific! ❤️
Nothing derails everything faster than a cute little toddler with their pacifier.
That's how innocent, confident and fearless we come into this world until we get corrupt by this world
@Proton Cannon yes
So true that's why children need a proper good guidance. So it won't happen.
Well said
Truth
Most of the time, I look at children and think about what kind of future they deserve. 🥲
love how daddy newsom cares for his children 🥳
in kindergarden
"my dad has the most boring job"
Proud of our California governor. He’s not perfect (nobody is), and I don’t agree with all of his decisions, but I agree with most of them and he’s a dedicated family man who supports his community.
this is so cute aww😂😂❤️
I bet more than half of the crowd didn't follow the speech after the surprised invader .😂😂😂
i definitely did not. I have no idea what he said.
What speech???
Wait there was a speech?
😂😂😂😂
This is cute and warm ❤️
The dad’s little wave as he was carried off stage :)
The wholesome news that we need to see more often
This must've given him good press. Do people really believe he'd let his children on stage without knowing?
When they said “the mom wasn’t enough”. “The brother wasn’t enough”
I was ready for the “it took the seal team to get him off”
Haha!
🤣🤣🤣
Martial law
This is actually really cute. 🥺
I wish I had his courage to fight against my stage fright
😂 well, that is the reality of having children. Especially 4. I had 4 boys! This however reminds me of my third grandson 😂😂❤️ bless their hearts. What you see is big brother trying to help, mom trying to grab the son. It's a family effort to help each other and still support dad. 😂😂🙏
Hello Bobbie how are you doing today
I’m not gonna lie that was freaking adorable!
“Parents need support and help... trust me I know..” he sounded like a good dad desperately in need of a whole night to sleep 😂
Yet had four kids
For real 😂😂😂
Hello how are doing today?
@Annie R and an absolute mood that all parents can relate on 😂
This man knows where his bread is buttered. He was saved from that awful California recall election a few months ago by working mothers and women in general voting in droves for him. :D
🤣 good to see all parents despite their stature struggle, it humanizes them 🤣
I love that he wasn’t embarassed with his son being there.
I think one of the odd things about this is I have a nephew who’s younger than this little guy so I don’t understand why he has a pacifier still 🤔
I’m glad someone else said it….While I think this child is adorable and I applaud how comfortable he is with his parents, as a mental health therapist I’m a little concerned with his lack of boundaries. I suspect he’s the youngest and might be coddled a little too much. If dad wasn’t a politician I think mom would have been faster to retrieve him or, better yet, leave him with a babysitter who can put him to bed on time.
I'll vote for this politician just by seeing this interaction.. His son loves him. Means he is a loving father 🥰
He’s clearly in line for the top spot
They are both so cute 😂❤️
I feel him 😂
Kids are always adorable so cute
So sweet 💕
this is awesome! you go Dad! more normalising and positive working parents!!
Hello Carolyn how are you doing today
Oh my goodness so cute!!!
that kid will be reminded of this forever now
Poor
@clip012 I mean this is an inaugural speech? I'm sure even if this was in the 80s this would have been captured. At least on picture. The world will have forgotten about it in a week or so, it's everyone he actually knows that will remind him forever.
too bad he grow up in internet/ social media era
@Lynnsey Knockel Or the Governer revisiting this at his sons wedding
dean gianotti I was just thinking that lol. Whenever he brings a girl home to meet his parents I bet they’ll show it to her!
so cute when he rests his head on his dad at 0:30 🥺
They definitely let him walk up there on purpose 😂😂😂
His son looks like Linus from peanuts carrying that blanket. 😄 Cute
His big brother tried to help🤷🏾♀️ kids are innocent you can tell that the governor is a good dad
This would actually be a good strategy, people love family men.
Edit: thanks for the likes guys!
Exactly
Scripted
So true ! WhT a sickening stunt !!
Not a good strategy, I would say an excellent strategy.
Do you know what would be another excellent strategy? Have 3 or more religions, like the politicians in Brazil do.
I may just be dead inside but this feels like a stunt-
0:46 such a beautiful smile. he knows people think he's cute. :D
You know he is a good dad when the baby wants him...
How cute❤❤❤❤
I don’t like his politics, but he’s clearly a great dad.
@Vj With that level of analysis you could be a Fox anchor.
Adorable!!! 🥰🥰
So cute 🥰
“alright jimmy, at THIS exact moment of the speech, I want you too come up on the stage and act sleepy”
