Gavin Newsom's trans scandal with Charlie Kirk just exposed an incoming Democrat Civil War.

Trump just suspended tariffs again. The huge Ukraine updates. And Target is being hit with a massive

40-day DEI boycott over Lent. We're talking about all that and much more on today's brand

new Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news, how it's being covered, and how people

are reacting to it, starting with this. Did Gavin Newsom just stabbed Democrats in the back?

Right, that is a question that many people are asking after he launched his new podcast and had

Charlie Kirk on as his first guest.

Which, yes, by the way, if you did not know, the governor of California is now officially

a podcaster with him announcing a show last week called This is Gavin Newsom. Right. And just one of the reasons that he's on the receiving end of backlash right now is he chose to have Charlie Kirk, a right-wing

influencer on his show. You know, Kirk is the co-founder of Turning Point USA, in addition to just

being a massive, massive figure in the right-wing space. You know, since Newsom is largely seen as one of the

big leaders of the Democratic Party as someone who might want to throw his hat into the ring in 2028. Some were not thrilled that Newsom chose to have this conversation with people writing.

I will be voting for a candidate in the Democratic primary who doesn't promote Charlie Kirk.

As well as, who do Democrats think is the audience for Gavin Newsom and a podcast with Charlie Kirk?

Very notably, this also is some think that it's a good idea, right? When Newsom announced his podcast, he said that one of his goals was to talk to people that he disagrees with. You know, with that, you have some thinking that

politicians like Kamala Harris could have learned from this playbook writing. Everything about this.

Approach, guess, tone is smart. Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who actually seems to be thinking

about the last election and adapting to what he learned. As well as the thing I like about Newsom is that like Buttigieg, he not only does not shy away from talking to right-wingers.

Indeed, he seeks them out. Dialogue is helpful. But some people were not thrilled with the actual dialogue itself, with the part facing the most criticism being a moment where trans athletes came up.

You right now should come out and be like, you know what, the young man who's about to win the state championship and the long jump in female sports, that shouldn't happen.

You as the governor should step out and say no.

No, and I appreciate.
