California Gov. Gavin Newsom is officially a podcaster now, with the first episode of his new program releasing on Thursday. On the show, aptly-if-unoriginally dubbed “This Is Gavin Newsom,” the prominent Democrat was joined by conservative influencer and Turning Points USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
“You are making a damn dent” in the culture wars, Newsom told Kirk, while adding that his 13-year-old son is a big fan.
Newsom’s maiden voyage as a side-hustling podcaster also made some political news. The governor said he “totally” agreed with Kirk that transwomen should not play in women’s sports — breaking with Democrats on the hot-button issue.
