"Newsom Tries to Understand ‘Bro Culture.’ Will It Change Him in the Process?
California’s governor has diagnosed one problem for Democrats — connecting with young men — and he sees his podcast as a way to address that. Other Democrats aren’t so sure.
It was a surprising revelation at the start of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new podcast. His son had become a fan of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing influencer who mobilized young voters for Donald J. Trump.
Mr. Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, said that 13-year-old Hunter was such an admirer that he argued his father should let him attend the taping with Mr. Kirk. “‘What time? What time is Charlie going to be here?’” Mr. Newsom recounted his son saying at bedtime. “And I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re in school tomorrow.’”
That Mr. Kirk had captivated the son of a leading Democrat and a feminist documentarian, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, was an indication of just how popular conservative podcasters had become with young men.
Many expected Mr. Newsom to respond to Mr. Trump’s presidential victory by seizing the mantle as the voice of the resistance. Instead, he has become a different kind of voice entirely — the one on the podcast."

Instead of screaming about Trump, it looks like the aging greaser is going to try to move to the center, talk to the young men, and act like he wants to fix America's woes.
One only need look at California's sorry state to see what Newsom would really do to America.
