WEBVTT - Introducing: "This is Gavin Newsom"

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm Gavin Newsom, and having real conversations is nothing new

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>for me. Tackling tough questions, engaging with people who don't

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>always agree with me, debating without demeaning. Now I'm taking

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>those conversations even further. On my new podcast. Each week,

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm inviting voices from across the political spectrum, including those

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I fundamentally disagree with, to discuss the most pressing and

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>challenging issues of our time. I support border security. You're

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>trolling folks and trying to find migrants to try to

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>get some news and intentions so you can out Trump Trump.

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>How's that going for you?

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Ron?

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>You're down forty one points in your own home.

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>State, seventy one percent of the gd there in America

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and blue counties. I would save it there one percent

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>of the GDP America, Popular Studies, progressive policies.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>But it's not just their voices that matter, it's yours too.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I want you, the listeners, to be

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>part of the conversation. We'll discuss, will debate, and we'll

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.319
<v Speaker 1>decode what the hell is.

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Going on the price of eggs is so ridiculously expensive.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>So we agree that this price is insane insane.

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>People are fighting for eggs kind of world do we

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>live in that respect? This is bird flu and they

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>need to take it very, very seriously.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 3>The Trump administration, Kennedy scares me the most, the lunatics

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>in charge of the asylum. You know, I think you

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 3>alluded a little bit to how you would have to

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 3>manage up with him.

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>That first act by the new Health and Human Service

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a secretary was a little more alarming. But the fact

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that he already is looking to analyze that advisory committee,

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be very vigilant.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 3>What's really going on with Doge? And why does Elon

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Musk have so much power?

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a question we're all asking ourselves. There's a lack

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of transparency around Doge. There's a lack of understanding about

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>his role. He's got all this power and authority. Is

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it moral authority or formal authority? Is he actually going

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in and accessing your data? And my biggest fear of

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>beginning with you is public safety.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that the Democrats have a messaging problem.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>The majority of people saying we're quote unquote out of touch,

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that we don't represent you, that we are weak. Absolutely, absolutely,

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we have a messaging problem. We may even break some news, so'

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>beginning a lot of questions, a lot of calls about

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>something that's getting a lot of attention, unsurprisingly, and that's

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the Menendez brothers today. I just

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>notified the La DA as well as the Menendez attorney

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>including victims, that I have directed the Board of Parole

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Hearings to do what we call a risk assessment investigation

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>into their applications, specifically for commutation. The question for the

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>board is a rather simple one. Do Eric and Lyle

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Menendez Do they pose a current, what we call unreasonable

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>risk to public safety. The risk assessment will be conducted

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>as they typically are conducted by experts in public safety

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as well as forensic psychologists. We're going to make the findings,

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>by the way, available to the judges presiding over the

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>resentencing motion in LA Superior Court, as well, of course,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>to the District Attorney himself. There's no guarantee of outcome here.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>My office conducts dozens and dozens of these clemency reviews

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>on a consistent basis, but this process simply provides more transparency,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>which I think is important in this case, as well

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>as provides us more due diligence before I make any

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>determination for clemency. So join the conversation and subscribe. Now,

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>this is Gavin Newsom.
