Stay ConnectedI’m Gavin Newsom.
And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us.
It’s time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other.
I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation.
THIS is Gavin Newsom.

Gavin sits down with Ben Meiselas, co-founder of MeidasTouch and one of the most influential progressive voices in digital media. Meiselas breaks down how independent creators are outpacing corporate media, why Democrats must “flood the zone with the truth,” and how the right exploits tragedy to manipulate public perception.
From Trump’s con on American farmers to the potential selling out of Taiwan to China to the future control of TikTok, this conversation dives deep into the moral vacuum of today’s GOP and what it really means to fight back. Plus how Trump’s DOJ is threatening future elections and how the government shutdown could spell the end of the filibuster.
