A meme. Says it all.
Put down your impotent, online pitchfork for attention and watch this. Try to pretend to be an adult and it might make more sense.
YOU, and those like you, gave us Trump. So as a Californian first, and American second, please accept my fuck you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyB0yXw17Fc
CA holistic treatment. Damn. So you just latch on to a bullshit image of CA that's fed to the ignorant and fear-driven and run with it?
What's it like to lose all self-respect?
Sucks for you little one.
Destroyed him all right oh yeah that got him. Pathetic if any of these people believed any of the words that they spoke they would do something directly instead they will stand and yap
When Ben asked why he would have Kirk or Bannon on his podcast he seemed to stop himself mid sentence from saying he wanted to find common ground. Newsflash, there is no common ground with them! Another Dem bringing a spoon to a gun fight. 😡
He only went to Meidas to try to clean up what he did, and he still had no actual coherent explanation for why he platfomed nazis. He said a lot of things while saying nothing at all. If he wanted to learn to grow a platform, he could have asked Meidas. I'm done with him. He can move along.
You all hate Newsome more than treasolini, Vance or the rest of the seditionists. So many saying fuck Newsome
He is not that bad He did 1 thing you don't like + your done
Treasolini fucks you on side then the other,then upside down and you say - well let's hear what he has to say
Fuck all of you
Yeah cool but he is transphobic and has his own shitty ass economic policies. His health care plan in sf locks people into unlivably low incomes. Gavin is a disaster in his own right... takes one to know one, i suppose. *spits on the ground*
Oh goodness. People thinking Newsom opinion matters.
Dem/Libs still don't it that trotting out hated politicians is not a winning strat.
Next Newsom podcast, Gavin will have Kid Rock on and discuss how these Tariffs are Great for American. My Gawd.
Congress was the one who gave Felon47 the power to impose all these tariffs, and Congress could take it away in an instant if they wanted to. May I suggest that you post a video to encourage your audience to tell their reps they will be out of office unless they fix what they screwed up?
Hey, why are you giving a platform to someone who just threw trans people under the bus?
Trans rights are human rights, and supporting someone who has literally begun to embrace right-wing shills that support and amplify that transphobia is an insult to all of your fans.
I have. These are the only people that are hopefully going to be able to get us out this mess. Im not thrilled about every single Democrat, but we should be supporting them as well as each other. Divisiveness is what got us into this mess. 🤷♀️
I do too. We’re in a tough situation. Everyone seems to have a different strategy on what Dems should or shouldn’t be doing. Trump is actually helping the Dems, their constituents, with the exception of MAGA (24%) are royally pissed. If the courts can hold the line until primaries,
Actually all the dems I know wouldn’t vote Newsome now for anything. He turned his back on an entire community and is cozying up with white supremacists. He’s not a democrat.
Lots of people interview wack jobs. It makes me uneasy too, but I'm willing to see where it's heading. He's been a leader in my state for minority groups of all kinds and I'm at least going to listen for a while.
With such huge engagement numbers, all the politicos have realized that they need to be on Meidas. But I would recommend not to use this awesome platform to turn it in puff piece land for dems. If they’re not willing to talk about their friendly chats with Bannon for example, they should not be on.
The Gav alienated people with his interviews of extreme right wingers and seemingly suck up to bad actors in a PR pitch. So his credibility is shot. And then there is Cali MAGA who will do anything to bring him down
First time we have been disappointed in your content, you can’t be Meidas Touch and have this guy on without pushing back hard on what he has been doing for clout.
Why would you fuck with your image and brand like this? This man has no spine. His opinions change at the whim of the trending bar on the top of his browser. Looks like I’ll spend my time with girls over at @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social .
I was so enthused about Newsom when he was supporting Joe Biden from coast to coast. Not so much now. "Bridging the gap" between the unruly right and the "normals" is just a fool's errand, I think.
He had fascist supporter Charlie Kirk, on his podcast and when the subject of trans athletes came up (ugh) He agreed with Kirk, that as the father of two girls, he "has concerns" about trans girls competing in girls swhere. (SUUUUUCH BULLSHIT!) But mostly, he outed himself as an opportunistic whore.
Gavin is great communicator & an
aggressive high testosterone fighter.
Our nominee for 2028 must have those qualities.
There’ll be a large field of talented contenders, including Gavin, fighting for the nomination.
Just what we need.
Hey little ones with your pitchforks and faux-grievance? Those who don't live in CA but regurgitate horseshit with your quest to be seen by other petulant children? I'm a Californian first. Then an American. Check this and the following clip. THIS is a fucking leader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyB0yXw17Fc
Did he ask Charlie Kirk permission to have an opinion about Trump, or Steve Bannon? He better make sure he doesn't upset his base, the center (hole) in his head.
The replies here are why the Democrats keep losing elections. They break into camps separating centrists, populists, progressives, Never-Trump Conservatives, ... . Instead of banding together to oppose Trump, they fight amongst themselves even though they have the overwhelming majority of people.
Hey, fuck that guy. He was always a sleazebag but I could at least respect the fact he did his best to protect CA previously. Now he’s giving voice to the worst ppl in the country on his podcast.
WHY THE FUCK DOES A SITTING GOVERNOR EVEN HAVE A PODCAST?!?
this was a good episode. thanks for asking about the wingnut appearances on his podcast. i get what he was trying to do, i just don't think its necessary. trying to *understand maga is futile and need not be prioritized. we have real work to do.
Read these books by Dr. Bandy X. Lee: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and her follow up book: The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Psychiatrists discuss his severe mental illness. He is unhinged and can’t function in the real world. What Trump is doing is madness. Please tell people!
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is trying to gaslight Meidas Mighties. He wasn't just trying to "understand" and "engage" people like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon on his podcast; he actually expressed agreement with them and even asked them for advice.
This is an unforced error and he is not salvaging the self-inflicted damage by coming onto @meidastouch.com. He had good prospects of becoming the next Democratic presidential nominee but he has now killed it.
Hopefully, when countries plan their retaliatory tariffs, they will focus on individuals and corporations that backed Trump as well as Red State products and services. Hopefully they will also expel these companies and maybe even nationalize Trump properties.
Is it possible that Trump is intending to deliberately cause the economy to crash in order to distribute stimulus checks and portray himself as the savior, or does he simply not care?
For all the whiners here: only terminally online losers can't get over whom Newsom invited to his podcast. For normal people this is some anger for 10 minutes
Very, giving deference to Charlie Kirk's transphobic ranting and even directly agreeing on the point of sports and less directly agreeing on youth healthcare.
And now we know he's been stonewalling supportive LGBTQ+ legislation for the last year or so, it's an enormous betrayal.
Tooo neutral for me let your "NO" be "NO" and your "YES" be "YES". Pick a side man and stop entertaining fuckery and don't say anything about the crap they advocate.
I agree.. podcast, bad idea.. he totally ruined what was LEFT of his reputation. But come on, guys, don't shoot the messenger; I was just commenting on how Trump could have been the grandpa if Don Jr. had stayed with Kimmy.. and I posted a picture..I think you'll agree she's taking a bad turn..🥴
Actually, she used to look/act TOTALLY different before she drank the kool-aid and got addicted to plastics!! She actually used to look a lot like Anne Hathaway, IMO...
Replies to this show waaay to many Ds are completely intolerant of deviations from far-left-wing orthodoxy, even when it's an 80-20 issue in favor of the 'heterodox' thought
So Newsom talked to right wing podcasters. And said trans women shouldn't compete against bio-women. SO?
He didn't even say that, he just acknowledged the issue about fairness. He's been in favor of allowing trans people to compete in sports for years and has instated policy to cement that.
There’s no more tolerance for political performers anymore. Newsom showed he’s a performer, not an advocate or rep for the people in a system built by the people. As a president would he do what’s just and fair and right, or would he pretend to do that while undercutting the public? Judging actions…
Look, I think the world of Cory Booker. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. But you don't think a 25 hour filibuster to stop ... nothing ... wasn't performative?
As for Newsom, he's done things wrong but check his governing record in CA before denouncing him for not being an advocate for the ppl.
Dems and their purity tests are what keep them out of power. They love being martyrs. Newsom for all his faults is ALSO the same guy who expanded Medical to cover undocumented immigrants so they could get affordable healthcare. What a neocon Nazi, amiright? Dems seem to forget that to
govern you also have to actually win. Many Dems would rather be reduced to a meaningless & powerless minority & champion the impossible perfect over the achievable good. Obama & Clinton were not uber left firebrands. Know what they WERE? Two term presidents. Dems can’t get out of their own way.
In what way has Newsom/his policies become fascist? He upset a lot of people saying he personally didn’t think trans men should play women’s sports. It’s an opinion. Unpopular with some for sure. But his actions? What has he done specifically?
I’m not up on the gender labels. Apologies. See? I can admit when I’m wrong. “Trans women.” Got it. Also, as I knew you would, you dodged the question. Typical of extreme politics when confronted with an uncomfortable truth outside their narrative. Same as MAGA. Just a different side of same coin.
Got it. “Trans women.” Apologies. Now one of you answer the question, jackass. Oh. Wait. You can’t. All conflict & no solutions. All rage & zero policy implementations/wins. Enjoy further marginalization as you obsess on culture wars & continually lose elections to morons like Trump. Well done 👏
Have yon joined them? Bc you haven’t beat them. Or are you just saying random things to be difficult and not have a discussion? Because I’m OK with not having this discussion if that’s what you wanna do.
My gripe is he is still Gov here. His choices have cause mistrust with his supporters and not swayed the other side. Just wish he would have waited until his term was complete. Too much going on here.
Instead of supporting the Democrats we have right now, they choose to just bash the hell out of them. They’re too ignorant to realize it’s them or the demented dictator. Ridiculous.
I think he is a traitor because of January 6th and the pardons for violent extremists.
These tariffs are just insane. A regressive tax on working Americans. And now Congress will put through tax cuts for the wealthy. Another mass transfer of wealth to the top and then cuts to social safety nets.
Are you not scared of the enemy? They're taking over the country and tearing it apart. People don't appreciate how Newsom came out and complained about the Dems last week. They're mad. Instead of fighting so hard for one person, start fighting with others to help protect your rights.
I’m not joining the fucking call because someone said something I didn’t like. Don’t try to make me join in your witch hunt for a man who has his whole career fought for what I value. Just because he did something you don’t like.
I agree. I really like Newson but there are so many more valuable voices than Bannon. Also, Kirk is the mysogynists, misogynist. Newsom having him on made me very sad and I knew then he will never be president.
I gave you my honest assessment of a man I believed could rise from the ashes of the LA fires to become a new national hero. He then turned around and platformed the worst of the worst. He will never be president he has misunderstood the political moment and has lost any chance now, it's very sad.
Stop it. You react to one podcast. Nothing else. The freaking governor of California who has stood up for the left and fought everything Donald Trump for years — you’re calling him our enemy now because he said something you didn’t like. You are irrational.
I think it’s more than a simple discussion. It’s the timing of all of this. So many people are feeling threatened, frightened and angry. I voted for Gavin Newsom and I would vote for him again, but I can’t for the life of me understand why he would choose to do this at this time.
Hey doppel, that it is unfair that biological men compete against women in professional rugby or olympic weightlifting is not "transphobe". It's a fact, deeply rooted in biological science.
Denying this (e.g. by sloppy biased statistics) does the trans community no favour, this is cultist behaviour
Many people have these feelings and need us to address their concerns before they support us. people want to ignore that and just bulldoze over anyone with questions. It’s not looking good from the outside. People wanna know why debate is being shut down.
I could really give two shits what Newsom thinks of trumps tariffs. After seeing him kiss trumps ass on the tarmac and encouragement of Bill Mahar visiting the White House.
I don't want to hear anything from the guy who remotely approves every fucking rate hike that CPUC passes across his desk while he dines at French Laundry.
Dems need to distance themselves from that assclown or they will have a repeat of 2024. Actually care about the middle class or get fucked!
Oh whatever, Gavin is just another Chuck Schumer wannabe. In fact, he is probably worse, not only does he roll over, but he purposely shifts to the right.
You recently know what MeidasTouch is. MeidasTouch did interviews with Progressives as that's what they are such as Sanders, Warren, Khanna, Crockett and Casar but haven't interview yet to AOC, Walz, Maxwell-Frost, Omar and etc which I guess they're busy at something or hard to distant contact.
It's too bad he decided to cavort with the enemy. He was trying to boost himself, but it backfired and most of us on the left are now utterly disgusted with him. It showed that he would be willing to bend the knee to trump at some point, because he's too willing to do things for attention.
Newsom, unprompted, willingly destroyed his own credibility when he decided it was fine to platform nazis and throw the trans community under the bus. You couldn’t pay me to give a fraction of a fuck for anything else he has to say about anything.
Good for @gavinnewsom.bsky.social , hope he sticks to this line of democratic limelight seeking rather than dunking on trans people for political points.
Seriously, what a fucking sleezebag to even talk to. He's not anyone who we should care the opinion of. The Governor of California threw our Trans Family members under the fucking bus for Harris'/Democrats loss. He doesn't deserve to be platformed. Why not talk to a Finance person? Theres plenty.
I'm not a big Newsom fan, but this interview surprised me in a good way. While it feels good to blast the other side (and he does plenty of that elsewhere), the need to understand how and why they hold their positions is important. MeidasTouch was brave to do this.
How about Californian port and border authorities announcing to ignore the tariffs in a direct action approach? What could Trump do – send the army and start a civil war?
Trump is not concerned about economy or the people. All he wants is governments and companies to queue up to pay their respects.
Tariffs and graduated sales taxes negotiated by Congress with Canada and Mexico as part of trade agreements may be beneficial for the poor and middle class over time.

Port incentives, tax breaks, special processing, etc.
Bring in NY, NJ, MA, IL to form a State Trade Bloc (that's almost half our GDP).
Legal, logistical, economic guerilla warfare.
Trans rights are human rights, and supporting someone who has literally begun to embrace right-wing shills that support and amplify that transphobia is an insult to all of your fans.
Just like Banks..... what's with Indiana politicians?
Oh yeah,Nazis.

I am a California resident. Newsom sucks
that'll work
go sea lion somewhere else
We don't like traitors.
He can stick to podcasting.
These tariffs are just insane. A regressive tax on working Americans. And now Congress will put through tax cuts for the wealthy. Another mass transfer of wealth to the top and then cuts to social safety nets.
TAKE THE FUCKING GLOVES OFF AND FIGHT!
Unforgivable that he gave LEGITIMACY to BANNON and KIRK!
https://www.yahoo.com/news/gavin-newsom-agrees-wing-charlie-184748864.html
If we don't support trans people and other marginalized folks, why the hell are we even here? After they're done, they'll come for you and me next.
Denying this (e.g. by sloppy biased statistics) does the trans community no favour, this is cultist behaviour
