I'm launching a NEW PODCAST. We need to change the conversation.
— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) February 26, 2025
I'm talking directly with people I disagree with, people I look up to, and you -- the listeners.
Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We're tackling all your big questions.

Pig meets lipstick.
When he realizes that no one can see his hair on a podcast he'll start his presidential run.
The man lives in the filmmaking capital of the world and this is the best lighting and set design he could come up with?
This guy is such a dork. “The cost of eggs” might have to do with the slaughter of 100 million chicken by Biden and Co.
Newsom oozes scumbag, which honestly, I could put aside if he were a competent leader. But he's not, which makes him an incompetent scumbag. It'll be interesting to watch what happens as American's learn about and see more of him.
Hint to the left if you hire producers, consultants, and focus groups to try and appear authentic it's not going to work out how you hope.
I wonder if he'll have Adam Carolla on his podcast?
Flicking peas was a juvenile hobby to pass the time until mom and dad came home and took the pod away.
He wants to change the conversation because he, like other Democrats, believe that they lost the election because they "didn't get their message out" instead of understanding their terrible message was received loud and clear and soundly rejected.
He can't convince anyone who doesn't already agree with him and it's largely because he's so plastic.
Fireside chat? Comic.
He's still using that greasy kid stuff!
Every time I see/hear Newsome, I imagine I'm listening to Jon Lovitz, doing "yeah that's the ticket".
"The man lives in the filmmaking capital of the world and this is the best lighting and set design he could come up with?"
Botox & Hair Gel can only take you so far, hon. You can't be hip if you're an old guy pushing 60, no matter what your Pelosi (crime) family connections might be.
I don't like the guy, and of course would never vote for him, but I do consider him a leading D candidate for D pres nomination. Would like to see a D gov debate between Wes Moore and Gavin.
Vocal fry. Clear you throat dammit. You’re no RFKJr
He wants to lead the Rebel Alliance.
Kind of a dark Newsome look.
BTW, is there any truth to the rumor Trump is renaming the San Andreas Fault to Gavin Newsom’s Fault?
How much do you suppose the person who arranged those books got paid?
renaming the San Andreas Fault to Gavin Newsom’s Fault
That would be comic.
California's Brylcreem Boy has been a sleaze, albeit a wealthy sleaze all his life. Incompetent, insincere and a doofus. One of the things that may derail Newsom's ambitions is dyslexia. He has trouble reading a teleprompter. Of course the other thing is that he's just not competent.
Gavin Newsom welcomes an audit of Caliunicornia’s high-speed rail project, but says he’s worried Caliunicornia taxpayers may come down with “audit fatigue”.
I'm sure the set was carefully designed and crafted, so as to avoid looking professionally slick. Pointedly so.
He reminds me of Bill Clinton, oozing fake sincerity. He's not nearly as good as Bill was, but he's a lot better looking.

“That would be comic.”
They say any publicity is good publicity.
He said he'll be talking with his listeners. I think he'll actually be talking to them. Maybe just at them.
“ Clear you throat dammit.”
That was my reaction too.
I actually looked up whether this was the situation where a person needs a uvulectomy!
Supplicant: "can you play at event X?"
Musician: "what does it pay?"
Supplicant: "we thought you'd like the exposure..."
Musician: "people die from exposure, you know."
We'll see the effects of increased exposure on the Governor.

Newsom's voice "abnormality" is not caused by anything to do with the uvula - and very few are. The problem is something (of many possibilities) in the vicinity of the larynx.
"Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We're tackling all your big questions."
So guaranteed to fail that it must have some not readily apparent reason. Tax write-off?
Newsom's governorship of California has been so successful that thousands of Californians have left to spread the good word to other states.
Podcasts have jumped the shark
Too cute to be serious.
What is the drawing over the lamp? Did he buy a Hunter Beiden painting or is it a Neusom original?
Egg prices progressed with organic contamination and mass abortion an unfit choice.
Tariffs are an incentive to mitigate the progress of George "Fentanyl" Floyd syndrome imported through immigration reform that renders thousands of Americans nonviable annually and American Civil Liberties Unburdened.
Tariffs compensate for labor and environmental arbitrage, regulatory games by transnationals that reverse development and is a first-order forcing of unemployment and green/naive deals.
DOGE is auditing waste, fraud, and abuse in government, and the role of dark coinage in redistributive change schemes, coups without borders, ethnic Springs, etc.. Also, trains to nowhere in California, fireside chats with transgender trends, etc.
I am perhaps biased against him, but if I try to be objective, I see this as a mistake for him. The long form podcast (2 to 3 hours) seems to favor a certain presence on the part of the host: a lack personal vanity, a sincere interest in why his guest thinks a certain way, no particular interest in disputing that at the cost of understanding it, an unpretentious gravitas. None of this seems in his wheelhouse.
via Groc:
Gavin Newsom’s vocal fry—the low, creaky tone some notice in his speech—doesn’t seem tied to a throat abnormality. There’s no medical evidence or public disclosure pointing to any physical issue with his vocal cords. Instead, it’s more likely a stylistic habit, intentional or not, shaped by his personality, environment, and how he communicates.
Vocal fry’s common in American speech, especially among younger generations and public figures. It’s that gravelly drop at the end of sentences—think Kim Kardashian or Zooey Deschanel. Newsom, born in ’67 but immersed in California’s Bay Area culture, might’ve picked it up naturally over time. Studies show it’s often subconscious, tied to social trends or a desire to sound authoritative yet relatable. For a politician, that’s gold—it can project confidence without seeming too polished or stiff.
Groc says he did have a lisp as a child which he overcame with therapy.
If Newsome is cool I'm out.*
As another Californian once sang (and apropos of the Elon post), "It's Hip to be Square."
*Can't really say I was ever "in."
The question is if we can mitigate progressive prices primarily forced by underfunded Medicare and unfunded Medicaid under the free Obamacares umbrella that is a forward-looking noose on our Posterity. Can DOGE scalp the kleptocracy to rebirth a viable nation, without also harpooning Moby Debt? Perhaps RFK, JR et al will alleviate the chronic conditions that are a plague on human health.
Not gonna watch but does he do that leftie shimmy thing?
Architects of the MAGA movement? Who are they?
Will he have the Washington Generals show up and slam dunk on 'em?
Any anyway, do movements have architects? Or has he inadvertently disclosed a trick out of the left's play book.
Notice how sparse is his bookshelf? That's OK, though. Newsom's key constituency is mighty sparse of readers as well.
He became a part of a new breed
Said he’d deliver on every need
Bumpin’ uglies with his so-called “best friend’s” wife
Seen in all the right places
Walkin’ ‘round like he’s aces
He should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
Is he hip?
If he’s really hip
The polls will let it show
He’s on a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
But what is hip?

Elevated price of eggs resulted from a multitude of chickens coming home… to roost! during the Biden Administration and Dementia Joe’s decision to terminate 100 million chickens with extreme prejudice.
Ice Nice writes, "The problem is something (of many possibilities) in the vicinity of the larynx."
I locate the problem somewhat north of Newsom's larynx, his prefrontal cortex to be precise.
See Pumpkinhead Carville? They couldn’t even shut up until the end of the car trip…
"Podcasts have jumped the shark"
I'd say sharks have jumped the podcast.
Comic gold.
Why is it that a good number of folks insist on putting an "e" at the end of his name? It's Newsom, not Newsome. It's not hard to spell, so why do it?
The Architect of the MAGA movement is Trump.
@Indigo Red: It's the self-absorption. Gavin's only about the "News o' Me".
I'v listened to the first "trailer" for the This is Gavin Newsom podcast. I'm reminded that Al Campanis got fired by the Dodgers for saying that he thought that, "Blacks lacked the essentials to be Major League Baseball managers". Gavin lacks the essentials to be in charge of anything much bigger than the City dog pound in Sacramento.
Campanis was wrong--see Dave Roberts, a black man taking the Dodges to the World Series. OTOH I don't think I'm wrong about the Brylcreem Boy.
All the issues he suggests will be covered are national in scope and areas of possible push back against Trump. Shocker.
After all California is operating so well there are no topics to cover from that vantage point, right?
So we all can see this is the "I'm running!" announcement. Hey, if the right gets big bennies from a pod cast that'll work a treat if wee toss any lefty out there with name recognition. For sure, for sure.
El Predicto sez this is an on-line version of talk radios "Air America" with the same fate predetermined.
How to put out fires.
He's running. But scared.
