California governor Gavin Newsom appeared on Bill Maher's Real Time, discussing his new podcast amidst mixed reviews. He recommended Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book, addressing how to maintain effectiveness post-emergencies. Newsom acknowledged criticism towards Democrats being overly judgmental and navigated questions around his political ambitions, notably hinting at a potential presidential run without concrete confirmations. In the same episode, Rikki Schlott and author John McWhorter contributed to a panel, where McWhorter critiqued a recent national security leak and discussed issues surrounding communication in the digital age.
"Democrats - we tend to be a little more judgmental than we should be," he told Maher.
When we have an emergency mindset, it goes extremely well," Newsom said. The question, then, was this: "How do you apply that in between emergencies?"
Maher was interested in congratulating Newsom on some of the political positions he'd taken on the podcast thus far and his willingness to interview his ideological opponents.
"We don't have time for the bullshit," Maher said.
