Jeff Fargo and Devin Douglass break down why Gavin Newsom might be the most quietly dangerous figure in modern politics. Jeff calls him “handsome, slick, passionate, and smart — but Darth Vader.” Devin agrees, pointing out that Newsom has the same magnetic charisma that made Obama and early Clinton so effective, which is exactly what makes him powerful.
They talk about Newsom’s clear presidential ambitions, tracing his rise from Mayor of San Francisco to Governor of California — and how every step up the ladder has left chaos behind. From San Francisco’s collapse to the Pacific Palisades in ruins, Jeff argues that Newsom’s record doesn’t back his rhetoric.
