1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm Gavin Newsom, and having real conversations is nothing new 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: for me. Tackling tough questions, engaging with people who don't 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: always agree with me, debating without demeaning. Now I'm taking 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: those conversations even further. On my new podcast. Each week, 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm inviting voices from across the political spectrum, including those 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 1: I fundamentally disagree with, to discuss the most pressing and 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: challenging issues of our time. I support border security. You're 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: trolling folks and trying to find migrants to try to 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: get some news and intentions so you can out Trump Trump. 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: How's that going for you? 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: Ron? 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: You're down forty one points in your own home. 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: State, seventy one percent of the gd there in America 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: and blue counties. I would save it there one percent 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: of the GDP America, Popular Studies, progressive policies. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: But it's not just their voices that matter, it's yours too. 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: And that's why I want you, the listeners, to be 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: part of the conversation. We'll discuss, will debate, and we'll 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: decode what the hell is. 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: Going on the price of eggs is so ridiculously expensive. 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: So we agree that this price is insane insane. 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: People are fighting for eggs kind of world do we 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: live in that respect? This is bird flu and they 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: need to take it very, very seriously. 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: The Trump administration, Kennedy scares me the most, the lunatics 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: in charge of the asylum. You know, I think you 27 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: alluded a little bit to how you would have to 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 3: manage up with him. 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: That first act by the new Health and Human Service 30 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: a secretary was a little more alarming. But the fact 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: that he already is looking to analyze that advisory committee, 32 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: We're going to be very vigilant. 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: What's really going on with Doge? And why does Elon 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: Musk have so much power? 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: It's a question we're all asking ourselves. There's a lack 36 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: of transparency around Doge. There's a lack of understanding about 37 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: his role. He's got all this power and authority. Is 38 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: it moral authority or formal authority? Is he actually going 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: in and accessing your data? And my biggest fear of 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: beginning with you is public safety. 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: Do you think that the Democrats have a messaging problem. 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: The majority of people saying we're quote unquote out of touch, 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: that we don't represent you, that we are weak. Absolutely, absolutely, 44 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: we have a messaging problem. We may even break some news, so' 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: beginning a lot of questions, a lot of calls about 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: something that's getting a lot of attention, unsurprisingly, and that's 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: what's going on with the Menendez brothers today. I just 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: notified the La DA as well as the Menendez attorney 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: including victims, that I have directed the Board of Parole 50 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Hearings to do what we call a risk assessment investigation 51 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: into their applications, specifically for commutation. The question for the 52 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: board is a rather simple one. Do Eric and Lyle 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Menendez Do they pose a current, what we call unreasonable 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: risk to public safety. The risk assessment will be conducted 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: as they typically are conducted by experts in public safety 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: as well as forensic psychologists. We're going to make the findings, 57 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: by the way, available to the judges presiding over the 58 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: resentencing motion in LA Superior Court, as well, of course, 59 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: to the District Attorney himself. There's no guarantee of outcome here. 60 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: My office conducts dozens and dozens of these clemency reviews 61 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, but this process simply provides more transparency, 62 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: which I think is important in this case, as well 63 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: as provides us more due diligence before I make any 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: determination for clemency.
