HBO's Bill Maher took California Gov. Gavin Newsom to task for not living up to his promise of deregulating California, urging him to "DOGE the s---" out of the bureaucracy.

"It's why you'd be a good candidate, you play this game well," Bill Maher told Gavin Newsom tonight on HBO with the savvy California Governor the latest 2028 contender to appear on Real Time this year.

Gavin Newsom told Bill Maher "the Democratic brand is toxic right" -- because of cancel culture. In his interview at the top of Friday's "Real Time with Bill Maher," the California governor also called for the party to rebrand.
