Idk, we all have lots of things to worry about and Gavin Newsom's podcast guests is not one of them. Let's focus on what the Republican Party, the White House and the entire Trump administration are doing to all of our lives...
Maybe a list of people he should NOT have on his podcast, in case he is considering any of these folks:
Joe Rogan
Dana White
Theo Vonn
Anyone else really - he lost a lot of us with this nonsense.
Cut to the chase! Have trump on then join his team! Apparently trump holds all the cards! No headlines about spineless, useless republican cowards but hey, democrats are in disarray with messaging!
I think I'm starting to get it. He'll edge out JD for the R presidential nomination in '28. When he's in the WH, he'll call Kimberly back from Greece, and they'll all live happily ever after. Finally, a happy ending.
Now matter what you think about his politics or personal values, Newsom isn't stupid. Tate would be a career ender and quite possibly the end of his marriage.
I'm not mad about those picks. Don't think they were endorsements/humanizing as much as exposures, but I also didn't listen so I might feel differently once I have. I think anyone with a serious/credible sexual assault/trafficking accusation or conviction would be a serious fuck up.
I think you're paradigm needs to be updated if you think humanizing two of the thought leaders and lead organizers of the same insurgency that is doing the fascism is a good career move.
We can agree to disagree, I encourage people to have their own thoughts - I think they are more dangerous
and normalizing them is exactly the same or worse as normalizing the guy who won the last election. My opinion is that if you don't think that its a problem that two of the architects of this moment are being humanized by a guy who thinks he can be President, I don't think you've been paying attn.
I haven't listened. Is he rolling over? Oh Gavin, don't be disappointing us.
You're the guy who put those sarcastic ads about trump on Fox News. I had mad respect for you then.
Is that guy gone? Tell me it ain't so.
He's trying to reach across the aisle in a time when the people across the aisle are Nazis. It's almost as if he's purposefully trying to destroy all the goodwill he got from us Californians for handling the fires :/
He also provided burner phones to tech bros letting them know he was there for anything they need. He’s trying to bankroll a presidential run with bad faith actors and Nazis.
say it ain't so, i thought he was the guy to fight back against this shit, his state is bigger than most countries in the world size/population he can really actually help.
but remember, he was married to Kim Guilfoyle... so there's that..
He would’ve won if the media hadn’t waged attacks on him from jump.
They took him DOWN once he wanted to cap HUD rent increases at 5%.
We know the SS is compromised-I think something nefarious happened before the debate. Especially with the RWNJ yelling “he’s on performance enhancing drugs!”
I don’t necessarily have an issue with the guests that he chooses to interview- what I don’t like is that he doesn’t call them out on their obvious lies - in his interview with Bannon he didn’t call out the statement that Bannon made about “the election being stolen…” and when he interviewed
Charlie Kirk - Newsom almost seemed to be dumbing himself down and just sort of nodding in approval to what Kirk was saying. At least that’s what I was thinking when listening .
I totally get your point - just don’t know why he doesn’t call them on this ? He was so congenial - even when Bannon referred to Senator Warren as “Pocahontas”
I'm trying my best to give Gavin some time. I'm hoping that this is some type of new plan that we haven't tried before— Because let's face it, since 2016 nothing else has seemed to work.
How?
If you let fascists talk without discussion, without pushback, what's the use?
You're just enabling them. For what?
To torture your audience?
Or to let them get used to fascism?
Sorry but a lot of us are done waiting. Face the fact that some of our D ‘leaders’ are DINOS that listen to the Donor Class instead of us. We need unafraid bare knuckle brawlers like JCrockett and AOC speaking truth to power. 🌈This queer right here 👋 says Newsom can go pound sand.
Dems won in 2020 and nearly got the presidency in 2024. Dems have had a lot of wins since 2016, despite gerrymandering. What Dems have been behind on is moving beyond legacy media and countering Fox News. Whether Newsom helps or hurts remains to be seen.
At the very least, he is putting controversial people on and controlling the dialogue so we can see who they really are…the question: will their followers watch Gavin or is he farting in the wind?

That would complete his sell-out to the idea of the "network state".
Thanks.

Be honest.
