Ben Shapiro has been a personal friend for a very long time (another conservative Jewish kid who, like me, was an early friend of Andrew Breitbart), and he was just a guest on the odd Gavin Newsom podcast. Below are three YouTube videos for you. The first is just a short clip of Ben and Gavin, the next is a segment of the Ben Shapiro show, the first half of which is Ben’s take on the interview, with outtakes. You should watch this for sure. And for those with about two hours, you have the entire Newsom Podcast.
I would offer some commentary on this myself, but this is a crazy day for me, and so Ben is “helping me” provide you with some Friday afternoon content!
Enjoy!
(And I owe y’all a Winners & Losers in California Politics column for this week — they’ve all been picked, but my day job is likely to push it into the weekend or Monday — but fear not, it’s coming.)
