It's the Scott-Free August grand finale, and Kara is joined by guest co-host Governor Gavin Newsom. Kara and the governor discuss redistricting fights, Trump's move to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and OpenAI's latest legal trouble. Also, Newsom is releasing… a memecoin? Plus, Kara asks the governor all the important questions: Will he accept a debate challenge from Ron DeSantis and Sean Hannity? What does he think of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement? Could he beat Scott in a bench pressing contest?
