Independent journalist Aaron Parnas and Governor Newsom discuss the Trump administration&rsquo;s push toward a constitutional crisis and the protests this past weekend. &nbsp; Note: This conversation was recorded prior to the federal appeals court hearings on 6/17.

I’m Gavin Newsom.

And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us.

It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other.

I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation.

THIS is Gavin Newsom.
