Governor Gavin Newsom’s new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” has generated significant discussion across political circles, particularly with the 2026 election approaching. In this episode, KABC radio host John Phillips joins us to discuss what Newsom’s move might signal, how media dynamics are shifting in the state, and what it could mean for key voter groups, including Latino and Asian communities. We also dive into California’s political power centers—from San Francisco to Los Angeles—and whether recent cracks in party dominance could open new paths in 2026.
