Newsom Reveals Quiet Involvement in Failed Efforts to Resolve Hollywood Strikes
• Maher asked Newsom why he didn’t get more publicly involved in resolving the Hollywood strikes that halted film/TV production for months
• Newsom said he absolutely met with both sides, had calls/texts/emails, and worked behind the scenes without showing bias
• Early on Newsom said he'd intervene if both sides were interested, but remained publicly quiet afterwards
• Months into the strikes, Newsom said he contacted all parties to help broker a deal
• Newsom's adviser said neither side showed interest in bringing Newsom into negotiations
