California Gov. Newsom launches own podcast, in which he'll interview MAGA-ites

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he's launching his own podcast in which he'll interview guests who disagree with him on policy.

"I'm talking directly with people I disagree with, people I look up to, and you -- the listeners," Newsom wrote on the social media platform, X. "Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We're tackling all your big questions."

Newsom is considered a top likely Democratic candidate for president in 2028 and is considered among the most liberal within his political party, which will means likley have to appeal to moderates and some conservative to win a general election.

He said in a video that this podcast isn't an "ordinary politician" podcast. 

Newsom is going to speak to individuals in the MAGA camp as well as other Democrats, according to a report from the Politico outlet.

“We already know what our disagreements are with the MAGA movement," Newsom said, according to the outlet. "I want to understand what the motivations are, the legitimacy of those motivations, and just really understand where people are coming from."

The program will be produced by iHeartPodcasts.

“At the same time, I want Democrats to come on and sort of challenge where we are on a lot of these issues,” Newsom said. “And so I’m asking the same questions you’re asking of me: Where the hell is the Democratic Party?"
