When Gavin Newsom said this week that allowing transgender athletes to play women's sports was “deeply unfair,” many reacted with cynicism: The California governor was pandering ahead of a run for president in 2028.

California's governor was joined by conservative activist Charlie Kirk for the first episode of his new podcast.

"He's got an eye on 2028," Dana Loesch said after the Democrat called transgender athletes competing "unfair."

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk says he was “connected” with California Gov. Gavin Newsom through Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former lover of both Newsom and, more recently, Donald Trump Jr. Kirk spoke to Newsom for the first episode of the Democrat’s new podcast—which was met by a firestorm of progressive condemnation over comments Newsom made in the interview expressing opposition to letting trans athletes compete in women’s and girls’ sports.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sat down with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for a wide-ranging discussion on the Democrat's "This is Gavin Newsom" podcast.
