0:00 The setting is real. The podium, backdrop, and suit match the governor's June 2 press conference — that's the source footage. AUTHENTIC

0:19 The "resignation" line was never spoken. In the June 2 original he's discussing rate policy at this moment; the audio diverges while the video continues. FABRICATED

1:28 His mouth stops matching the words. Lip movements track the original speech, not the new script — clearest on the phrase "effective immediately." FABRICATED

2:12 A crowd reaction is spliced in from another event — the audience shot matches a 2024 budget announcement, different room. SPLICED

Against the original · JUNE 2 PRESS CONFERENCE

Frame at 1:28
