Is there a way to disable the Google News when I swipe left?

[Super Spartan]

I don't wanna see any news. I still wanna keep the Google Assistant but is there a way to permanently get rid of the news?

Assuming you're using the stock Pixel Launcher, long-press any empty part of the homescreen, tap Home Settings, the turn off the Display Google App toggle.
