BONUS EPISODE: Gavin Newsom Thinks Mike Johnson is Buying All the Kneepads

It was only a matter of time— Governor Gavin Newsom joins Mean But True for a bonus episode of the ages! As the Governor of California, Gov. Newsom has made shockwaves around the country for fighting fire with fire, fiercely (and we mean fiercely) advocating for Californians, the successful passage of Prop 50, and generally bodying the Trump administration through memes on a daily basis. In this episode, we will discuss some of his most noteworthy moments of the year ahead of the release of his book, Young Man in a Hurry.
