In the debut episode of his new politics podcast, California Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested that his party members were mistaken for arguing that transgender women and girls should be allowed to participate in sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
For the first episode of “This is Gavin Newsom,” the governor sat down with conservative provocateur Charlie Kirk for a discussion about the state of the Democratic Party. According to Mediaite, Newsom asked Kirk for “advice” and argued that people “need to understand your success.” (Kirk, a conservative influencer and ally of President Donald Trump, whose policies have had a devastating effect on LGBTQ+ youth, likely has no insight into what messages can benefit the left.)
