Gavin Newsom shakes hands with attendees after an event to promote and speak about his new book at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Israel, Iran, ICE, dyslexia, single moms and a pet otter named Potter were among the subjects discussed Tuesday evening at California Gov. “[The Trump administration’s] first rationale was we’ve got to make sure that they’re not armed with nuclear [weapons]. “The issue of Bibi [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues,” Newsom said. They were, after all, folks who had paid up to $80 a seat to hear the conversation and receive a copy of his book.
