CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will not survive to see the conclusion of the 2028 Democratic Primary, but that isn’t stopping Colbert from using his remaining few months to help kick-start the process. On Tuesday, Colbert welcomed California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he praised for “being interesting,” for three segments and joined in fearmongering that there might not even be a free and fair 2028 election.

Colbert also observed how Newsom has interviewed Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk on his podcast, “What did you get from those conversations? Because sometimes some people come on podcasts or even television shows and aren't honest representatives of their ideas. I’m curious what you got from those conversations?”
Newsom began by saying a lot of noble things about talking to people you disagree with and spoke well of Kirk, “He was kind enough to fly out. We spent an hour and a half together. Interestingly we were staying connected up until just a few weeks ago until his tragic assassination.”
