Gavin Newsom is running for president in 2028. It’s so obvious. The man can’t stay away from the spotlight for more than 24 hours.
This week, he somehow found the time to go on the Shawn Ryan podcast, despite the fact that his state is still struggling to rebuild thousands of homes destroyed by wildfires earlier this year.
He is never too busy for self-promotion, have you noticed this?
Breitbart News reports:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom spent more than four hours on the Shawn Ryan Show, released Monday — as his state continues to struggle with wildfires, homelessness, illegal immigration, and other urgent crises.
The interview was Newsom’s latest foray into alternative media as he prepares for a presidential run in 2028, though he continues to deny that is his motivation. He has also hosted conservatives on his own podcast.
The interview, conducted in Nashville, covered a variety of topics, including coronavirus mandates and lockdowns; the Jeffrey Epstein case; the Middle East; Newsom’s childhood; Immigration and border enforcement; relations with China; homelessness; presidential politics; housing; Newsom’s career; pornography; tariffs; renewable energy.
Newsom barely mentioned the California wildfires except to congratulate himself on the process of debris removal (a federal and private effort) and to blame President Donald Trump for fires on federal land.
Newsom used part of this interview to defend California for using illegal immigrants for labor, saying that a large percentage of their agricultural and construction workers are illegals.
When asked if those people are taking jobs away from Americans, he responds by saying that he doesn’t see Americans jumping at those jobs.
Watch below:
Newsom: Half of our agricultural and 41% of our construction workers are illegals.
Ryan: “Do you feel that they’re taking American jobs?”

Someone needs to tell him to stop using such weird hand gestures. He would also be wise to focus on helping to rebuild his state instead of chasing media appearances.
