Guilfoyle then fired back on Kirk’s podcast, saying it was the governor who changed.
‘I didn’t change, [Newsom] did,’ Guilfoyle told Kirk. ‘He used to be so proud to fight for small business, for entrepreneurs, for those hard-working men and women. And he’s fallen prey to the left, the radical left, that is pushing him so far to the left that it’s unrecognizable.’
Newsom has been facing criticism over his his podcast and his handling of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
While the Golden State is in the midst of recovering from the horrific wildfire disaster, which left at least 29 people dead and more than 18,000 structures destroyed, the Democratic governor was accused of having his focus on other issues, as he has promised that his new venture will be ‘anything but the ordinary ‘politician’ podcast.’
Many have seen the podcast as Newsom’s way of positioning himself for a presidential run in 2028, which he is widely expected to do as he is term limited as California Governor in 2026.

Inviting one of America’s most famous conservatives on to speak and risking the wrath of transgender activists indicates Newsom’s desire to position himself as a centrist who’d appeal to moderate conservatives.
However, some praised both Newsom and Kirk for their civil conversation above the often-hostile fray of politics, while others poked fun at the liberal governor’s confession that he is raising a young conservative.
