Speaker 1: I'm Gavin Newsom, and having real conversations is nothing new
Speaker 1: for me. Tackling tough questions, engaging with people who don't
Speaker 1: always agree with me, debating without demeaning. Now I'm taking
Speaker 1: those conversations even further. On my new podcast. Each week,
Speaker 1: I'm inviting voices from across the political spectrum, including those
Speaker 1: I fundamentally disagree with, to discuss the most pressing and
Speaker 1: challenging issues of our time. I support border security. You're
Speaker 1: trolling folks and trying to find migrants to try to
Speaker 1: get some news and intentions so you can out Trump Trump.
Speaker 1: How's that going for you?
Speaker 2: Ron?
Speaker 1: You're down forty one points in your own home.
Speaker 2: State, seventy one percent of the gd there in America
Speaker 2: and blue counties. I would save it there one percent
Speaker 2: of the GDP America, Popular Studies, progressive policies.
Speaker 1: But it's not just their voices that matter, it's yours too.
Speaker 1: And that's why I want you, the listeners, to be
Speaker 1: part of the conversation. We'll discuss, will debate, and we'll
Speaker 1: decode what the hell is.
Speaker 2: Going on the price of eggs is so ridiculously expensive.
Speaker 3: So we agree that this price is insane insane.
Speaker 1: People are fighting for eggs kind of world do we
Speaker 1: live in that respect? This is bird flu and they
Speaker 1: need to take it very, very seriously.
Speaker 3: The Trump administration, Kennedy scares me the most, the lunatics
Speaker 3: in charge of the asylum. You know, I think you
Speaker 3: alluded a little bit to how you would have to
Speaker 3: manage up with him.
Speaker 1: That first act by the new Health and Human Service
Speaker 1: a secretary was a little more alarming. But the fact
Speaker 1: that he already is looking to analyze that advisory committee,
Speaker 1: We're going to be very vigilant.
Speaker 3: What's really going on with Doge? And why does Elon
Speaker 3: Musk have so much power?
Speaker 1: It's a question we're all asking ourselves. There's a lack
Speaker 1: of transparency around Doge. There's a lack of understanding about
Speaker 1: his role. He's got all this power and authority. Is
Speaker 1: it moral authority or formal authority? Is he actually going
Speaker 1: in and accessing your data? And my biggest fear of
Speaker 1: beginning with you is public safety.
Speaker 3: Do you think that the Democrats have a messaging problem.
Speaker 1: The majority of people saying we're quote unquote out of touch,
Speaker 1: that we don't represent you, that we are weak. Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: we have a messaging problem. We may even break some news, so'
Speaker 1: beginning a lot of questions, a lot of calls about
Speaker 1: something that's getting a lot of attention, unsurprisingly, and that's
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Menendez brothers today. I just
Speaker 1: notified the La DA as well as the Menendez attorney
Speaker 1: including victims, that I have directed the Board of Parole
Speaker 1: Hearings to do what we call a risk assessment investigation
Speaker 1: into their applications, specifically for commutation. The question for the
Speaker 1: board is a rather simple one. Do Eric and Lyle
Speaker 1: Menendez Do they pose a current, what we call unreasonable
Speaker 1: risk to public safety. The risk assessment will be conducted
Speaker 1: as they typically are conducted by experts in public safety
Speaker 1: as well as forensic psychologists. We're going to make the findings,
Speaker 1: by the way, available to the judges presiding over the
Speaker 1: resentencing motion in LA Superior Court, as well, of course,
Speaker 1: to the District Attorney himself. There's no guarantee of outcome here.
Speaker 1: My office conducts dozens and dozens of these clemency reviews
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, but this process simply provides more transparency,
Speaker 1: which I think is important in this case, as well
Speaker 1: as provides us more due diligence before I make any
Speaker 1: determination for clemency. So join the conversation and subscribe. Now,
Speaker 1: this is Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2: Listen to This is Gavin Newsom on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 2: Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
