Gavin Newsom Opens Up About Dyslexia, 2028 "Veto" Power, and Past Marriage, Plus Trump's Strategic Iran Victory

from Next Up with Mark Halperin · host MK Media

This episode features an update on the latest in Iran and a revealing interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom. Mark opens with his reported monologue featuring an in-depth analysis of President Trump’s escalating conflict with Iran, scorecarding what appears to be early strategic and tactical wins while separating battlefield gains from political complexities. He breaks down what seems to be working for the administration, what it means for America as a whole, and the major risks and warning signs that could turn early success into mission creep, regional instability, or something far more difficult to contain. After that, Governor Gavin Newsom joins Mark for a deeply personal conversation about his memoir “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery,” reflecting on his parents’ divorce, growing up between privilege and struggle, and writing the book for his children rather than for politics. He addresses the dyslexia debate head on, explains the disciplined system he uses to read and prepare, shares a never-before -told story about the “intervention” his children staged after learning about his first marriage to Kimberly Guilfoyle, and responds directly to the question about what would keep him from running for president.   120Life: Go to https://120Life.com and use code NEXTUP to save 20% Acre Gold: Start building physical gold with simple monthly payments and enter to win two Ancient Collection gold bars at https://GetAcreGold.com/MARK   Bank On Yourself: Discover the retirement plan banks Don't want you to know about—get your free report at https://BankOnYourself.com/Mark Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
