Description

Note: This conversation was taped on Tuesday afternoon, March 24, 2026. California Governor Gavin Newsom joins John Avlon for a wide-ranging conversation starting with a blunt assessment of the Iran war, what's happening with TikTok and media power under Trump and why Newsom thinks American democracy's biggest test isn't 2028, it's 2026. The conversation also dives into Newsom's leadership in California from policies he says are working because they're about "growth and inclusion" to why fewer than 30 homes have been rebuilt since last year's LA fires. Plus: Why the movie Rocky was everything to Newsom as a bullied kid with a bowl cut. Head to https://Superpower.com and use code FIXIT at checkout for $20 off your membership.

Excuse me Trump regime in the white house has murdered it's own citizens. 2 of them on video, the other ones not so much but they have happened. Zero accountability at all and no investigations.

The ballroom needs to be turned into the Pretti Good Center for civil liberties. Make it a museum.

Newsom is right about this right wing authoritarian takeover of media. It is extremely dangerous. Same with the judiciary, which McConnell and Republicans have been fixing for years. This is how democracies fall to Authoritarian governments. And it is most decidedly anti -U.S.A. I hope more people are waking tf up. We can't have 89 million non-voters again.

Meanwhile...Trump's ENTIRE family is making money hand over fist while raping America of every dollar and last bit of integrity that we once had.

I am a Floridian. Please hammer that fact that my state and Texas tax the lower wage workers more. That needs to be shouted from the rooftops and maybe some people will get it.
