This is Gavin Newsom · And, This Is How Social Media Will Decide the Next Election With David Pakman · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

The first thing is I try to never do anything that is against my kind of existing framework of values.

So if I go and interview someone somewhere, I want to make sure that I'm not

interviewing someone in whatever way I would normally do it because of somebody who has said, hey, come to our convention or go to this thing or go to go to that thing.

I'm always going to only be upfront with my audience about here's someone whose values and policies I support.

Here's someone who I don't.

And I'm not going to let any kind of financial relationship come in between that.

I don't talk to anybody from any of my advertisers.

I never have conversations with them.

We've luckily never had an advertiser that got word to me, hey, they didn't really like how you fortunately it's never happened, but I have no conversations with advertisers.

And if they said something like that, I would say, well, that's not not how we do the show.

The platforms are the platforms.

There's no doubt that there's content I could do that would get me demonetized or even kicked off of the platforms if it were extreme enough.

Those aren't really the sorts of things I believe and do.

So the risk of that happening is relatively low.

Well, to the extent that you want to be a participant in some of these town square conversations that are happening, they're happening on these platforms at this point.

We've lost as a country even the idea of at 6 p.m.

people gather around and watch 30 minutes of the nightly news.

Right.

Ratings are very low there, even with sporting events.

I mean, things are so fragmented that the town squares really are happening asynchronously.
