Gov. Wes Moore: Trans Kids, Newsom's Failures & 2028 Dark Horse | PBD #791

Maryland Governor Wes Moore sits down with Patrick Bet-David for one of the most unfiltered political conversations of 2026.

A Bronze Star Army combat vet. The first Black governor in Maryland's history. A man who was polling at 1% - and won anyway.

But is he the Democrat who could shake up 2028? PBD makes the case.

In this episode, Governor Moore doesn't hold back. He calls Trump's Venezuela operation "a ridiculous military operation." He praises Trump's Baby Bonds while calling out what he says are illegal federal overreaches. He admits he was personally disinvited from the White House governors dinner — and to this day has no idea why. He reveals what Trump said to his face the first time they met. And when pushed on transgender kids, puberty blockers, and whether he'd support his own son through a transition — he gives an answer that will have people talking.

Plus - the story nobody knows: how a young Wes Moore turned down college basketball scholarships, played against Kobe Bryant in high school, and chose the 82nd Airborne instead.
