California Gov. Gavin Newsom has launched a self-titled podcast billed as “real talk about what impacts listeners most” with “no spin” and “no script.” His first guest was one of right-wing media’s most incendiary talking heads – Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on his new podcast, "This is Gavin Newsom," said that transgender athletes competing in girls' and women's sports was "deeply unfair." Why it matters: Newsom had been a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights over the years but has vetoed several bills to bolster protections for transgender children and adults.
