Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being here. The family we're about to hop on an airplane, go to our nation's capital, spend a couple days there, seeing the sites, going to the museums, all the rest. It'd be a lot of fun. If you have any suggestions on what we should do, we have no plans, other than, you know, we're just going to be in the mall. So we're just going to go here, there, yonder. But if there's any place in that mall area that we have to go see,

And he said he's only going to have MAGA Republicans on.

And his first guest was Charlie Kirk.

And Charlie Kirk did, I didn't hear the whole thing yet.

But what I've seen is Charlie Kirk did it.

It was a wonderful job.

But what Gavin is doing in these interviews is agreeing with these MAGA conservatives

so that he can come across as bucking his party and as a more

moderate guy. That's the play. And one of my jobs, as someone who lived in California for 12 years under

his reign, is to make sure that everyone understands who he is and how he governed then. And he has
