California's presidential hopefuls and the perfidious Turk

Hasan Piker has somehow dominated liberal and rightwing discourse in recent weeks, to the point that leftists are just making fun of the mainstream for their obsession with the leftist streamer. Today we're discussing Democrats' and conservatives' manic rantings against Piker, and looking at two of California's presidential hopefuls--progressive U.S. Representative Ro Khanna and eely Governor Gavin Newsom--who would be happy to go on his show (eat your heart out, CIA asset/U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin). Governor Newsom, you might remember, recently stepped back on his statement that Israel is an apartheid state--presumably because he is vying for zionist groups' funding in his 2028 presidential run. We talk about that, through the lens of Sacramento Bee columnist Robin Epley's phenomenal takedown of the governor (free link). We also take a look at some of the debacles in the California governor's race. Note: this was recorded before the Swalwell news broke, but rest assured we'll be covering that in the coming week.
