| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to a wartime next up. I'm Mark Kaeperneditor-in-chief of the live |
| 0:06.5 | interactive video platform two-way and your host here at a time when America and Israel and |
| 0:12.0 | its allies are dealing with a pretty complicated situation to say the least. Grateful to all of you |
| 0:17.5 | for tuning in. Have a great interview today and not about iran with uh the governor |
| 0:23.0 | of california very excited to show you the full interview that we recently did with gavin news and part of |
| 0:28.2 | his book tour we talk about the book it's called young man in a hurry a memoir of discovery |
| 0:32.4 | uh the conversation went inside the four corners of the book, but also beyond. |
| 0:43.8 | Talked about the book in an honest way and also the complexity of his relationship with his parents, |
| 0:52.2 | the reality of his first marriage and how his kids from his second marriage have responded to that recently or responded to that in the past. |
| 0:55.7 | And then about the question of running for president. |
| 1:02.3 | You know that he's talked on this program before about the reluctance that some members of his family have to see him run for president. |
| 1:05.0 | And I've been outspoken. |
| 1:10.6 | I'm the only one I know in politics or media who said I think in the end a good chance he doesn't run. And we talk about |
| 1:12.5 | the question, does his family have a veto power over his running? If one of his kids or his wife |
| 1:17.8 | say, I don't want you to run, will he consider that absolute and not run? Most people I know |
| 1:24.0 | are cynical and say, oh, of course he'd run. He's a politician. He'll come back and say, |
| 1:28.2 | oh, everybody's on board. My family's so excited. We shall see. And you'll hear what he said about that. And I think you'll see a side of Governor Newsom that is rarely seen. And for many of you, maybe never seen. A lot of you don't like him. A lot of you like him. But I think you'll get a better sense of what he's like from the conversation. |
| 1:50.7 | Very excited to share it with you. But before we do that, my reported monologue on Iran and a fast-moving story, you know, I love this format. I love the video podcast format coming to you on Tuesdays |
| 1:55.9 | and Thursdays. But in a story that moves like this, it's kind of difficult. I want to tell you what I think |
| 2:01.4 | and what I've been hearing from my sources. I spent seven hours on Saturday at Mar-a-Lago, |
| 2:06.3 | kind of a fluke. I certainly wasn't there because I knew that the war was going to start. But |
| 2:10.9 | I think I was the only reporter there, and I got to see the president moving around Mar-a-Lago. |
