Summary
As Charlie Kirk put it, let’s hope voters do not have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to Gavin Newsom’s political history. President of California Family Council, Jonathan Keller, joins Joseph Backholm to discuss California Governor Gavin Newsom’s “political rebrand”. Recently, Newsom walked back his support for transgender athletes in women’s sports. Was this a strategic shift or political maneuver? They also discuss his efforts to engage conservatives on his new podcast, his potential 2028 run, and whether this signals a Democratic course correction. Can Newsom successfully rebrand, and will voters buy it? Tune in for the debate!

| 1:00.7 | That includes men, black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, young Americans, |
| 1:08.3 | because they define themselves by being pro-illegal immigration, |

| 1:36.4 | two cuts in the federal government, which is really interesting. |
| 1:40.0 | It's not that they're saying, hey, let's be very precise. |
| 1:42.0 | Let's just not cut, and they're just protesting the idea of government efficiency in general, |
