The Newsom DOJ Investigation

[00:00:00] Never a dull moment here in California with our political news. Just when you thought the primary and the dust was settling from all of that fiasco, there was news yesterday that dropped that the Newsoms, both Gavin and Jennifer, were under federal investigation. And the biggest twist is that it wasn't ordered by President Trump. We're going to get into all that and more on this episode of the California Underground starting right now.

[00:00:42] What's going on, everybody? Thanks for tuning into another episode of the California Underground. We have a ton of stuff to get to tonight. And just when you think that you have your story outlined, all of a sudden breaking news happened. So before we hop into that, let me bring in my best, my trusted co-host, the best, the fastest researcher in the West, Camille. I was just about to say it's always seems like yesterday I was going over the outline. I was like, I think I have some, we have some good stories. The primary news has kind of settled down and wham!

[00:01:10] All of a sudden, there was this news about Gavin Newsom that popped up and how he's under federal investigation. Big news. And we had a whole show planned out. So kind of pushed some other stories to the side. I don't know if we'll get to everything tonight. I do want to get to this story about the Newsoms and the federal investigation. Obviously, that's top headline news. Also, Spencer Pratt said he's going to war with Karen Bass. He's not going anywhere. He's not done.

[00:01:37] So wherever you guys are checking in to live tonight, let's hear where you're checking in from. If you're here in the chat, love seeing you guys in the chat. Thank you for tuning in live. That makes this show so much more enjoyable to see all of your comments, questions, stuff like that. So let's get into this first story about Gavin Newsom. Where were you when you found out that Gavin Newsom was under federal investigation? What were you doing? I'm sure I was home scrolling social media.

[00:02:06] I saw like a tweet and it happened mid-morning. I went, interesting. Oh, I wonder what that's about. And then it started to snowball and I started to see more and more information. Ashley Zavala, who is an amazing reporter, was reposting and tweeting a lot of stuff out of Sacramento about what's going on. That was the first half of the day. And then in California politics, leave it to California politics to not sit still for too long.

[00:02:33] But let's watch the video of what Gavin preemptively put out to kind of run deep. It sounds safe real fast. Yeah. Before you play the video, what is so funny is I'm pretty active on social media or at least as far as like on X, I scroll a ton. Like I spend too much time on there. I'm going to stay at home. I'm like, okay. So I, what I noticed is like there's news coming out. Yes. But most of it is just Gavin Newsom freaking out.

[00:03:03] Like most of what I'm seeing is just him post after post after post. And you're just like, go home or something. I don't know. It was a lot of projection on his part. And this video makes it even funnier when the news, the other news broke later in the day. So let's watch that and we can comment on it if you want to comment. In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends and former employees.

[00:03:30] Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one. They're demanding records. They're abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president. Because he hates that I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.

[00:03:58] Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history. He's turned the levers of government into his own personal power ministries to reward cronies and to try to jail his opponents. His personal attorney now runs the Department of Justice, which has repeatedly gone after his political enemies. Ask Jerome Powell sent them after James Comey, James Adam Schiff.

[00:04:25] He sent them after Tim Waltz and a woman. Well, to be fair, I mean, Adam Schiff was part of the whole Russiagate falsifying evidence, withholding evidence. And that was an issue. So we need to know what's going on behind that. Tim Waltz is still governor. And he was governor during the entire Minneapolis and Minnesota fraud that was uncovered by Nick Shirley.

[00:04:52] So what does is he not going to mention the actual crimes behind like what they were looking into him for? Yeah, I understand that a lot of these people are outspoken critics of Donald Trump. But there were still there was still enough there that there were crimes involved that they had to look into it. So just investigating it. I mean, he's going to leave that out, obviously. And he's standing behind his governor podium to make this about himself and have a nice press conference about it.

[00:05:21] And he released his video on X early. Well, yesterday morning, mid morning. So. We'll keep going. Projection. Yeah. He just acts like who can't play this game like Donald Trump is after me. Because I call him out for his lies of deceit. OK, so now you're being called out, possibly accused, whatever, investigated for possible lies and deceit. But you can't take the heat.

[00:05:50] And also, I am no defender of Donald Trump, but someone should send Gavin Newsom a biography of Andrew Jackson, because let's talk about those current presidents. Just saying. You sent me a tweet. Speaking of people who can't take the heat, who can dish it, but they can't take it. What was it like? 68 lawsuits the state of California has filed against Donald Trump. So trying to find literally anything they can sue Donald Trump over. Right.

[00:06:19] That is my point. Sending you that information is that taxpayers, California taxpayers have paid over $60 million. And we're not even sure because there's still more coming out. And that's not like this. That's just the minimum amount. Like we don't really know. 60 million taxpayer dollars to sue the Trump administration over everything. How many? How many lawsuits? I don't even remember. I think it was around 68 when I looked. It was a lot. It was over 60.

[00:06:48] That's all that Gavin Newsom has accomplished his second term. I don't know that he accomplished anything his first term. He, you know, ruined California. And then his second term, President Trump became president again. So he was just like, all right, now is my time to take him down. And so he's been using the attorney general, who I'm sure is more than happy to do this bidding for him, and our tax dollars to try to take Donald Trump down.

[00:07:13] I want to just quick shout out to the people who are in the OC is checking in LBC. Is that Long Beach? Is that LBC? Is that what that stands for? Yes. Occidental, OC as well. Just making sure we say hi to the people who are checking in. OC is the best. Just saying. It's not bad. It's no San Diego County, but it's good. All right, let's keep going.

[00:07:41] A woman that a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused. One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list. And today, I proudly join that list. After calling for my arrest last year, Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate me. And just in the last week, I've learned that his campaign has reached my own home to get me.

[00:08:07] He's coming after my wife, Jen, a public servant, a woman who's dedicated her life to supporting women and girls. I saw someone point this out. I'm sorry if I can't remember who to give you credit for. Now it's his wife. But she also, they made a big deal about her being the first partner. And now it's his wife. And women and girls.

[00:08:36] But anyone can be a woman. Yeah. Like, it's so funny how the words change when it's convenient for them. Yeah, he's framing it as, you're not a tough guy because you're coming after my wife and women and girls. Which is that a subconscious denotation that women are weaker than men and that it's kind of like you're taking advantage of them and it's not even fight. I don't know.

[00:09:03] But it is interesting how it was first partner to virtue signal. But then the minute they could use it as a victim, me too, kind of woe is me. It's his wife. So, interesting he didn't refer to her as the first partner. Someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in. If they can't intimidate me, they'll go after the mother of our children. Donald Trump picked the wrong target.

[00:09:32] We have nothing to hide. His political operatives can take every record and read every page. But they'll be looking in the wrong place. Because if they really want to find corruption, look no further than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Donald Trump is selling the presidency. He's running the largest cash heist in American political history. Trading foreign tariff relief for approval of his golf courses. Day trading behind the Resolute Desk.

[00:10:02] Reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in personal profit. And he's doing it openly. He's doing it on camera. He did it last night on the White House lawn. He's doing it through cryptocurrencies. He's doing it through the reception. I just want to say, I looked into all the UFC stuff. You know, I'm sure everyone knows that Sunday there was the big UFC fight on the White House lawn. So the parent company of UFC, TKO, I believe, they paid for the event.

[00:10:32] And Donald Trump, taxpayers, etc. did not pay for this event. And ticket sales did not go to Donald Trump. So the only way that he profited or benefited from this was, one, there was like merchandise sales, which anyone had the right to do. And also, two weeks after the event was announced, he bought some stock in TKO. I hope I'm saying that correctly. I'm pretty sure it's TKO. He did purchase some stock in TKO.

[00:10:59] But that was like publicly like disclosed. And anyone else could have done so. Everyone had the same opportunity that Trump had to buy. And he didn't even buy like, like it wasn't like, oh, we don't all have millions to do. It was like, I think it was only like less than $50,000, which, okay, that's still a lot of money. But like a lot of people have $50,000. They could have followed that investment. And so this wasn't some hidden behind the scenes thing that just came out.

[00:11:28] So anyway, the implication that taxpayers paid for the UFC event, no, they did not. And Donald Trump did not personally benefit from ticket sales. That went back to TKO, who they're saying probably lost $30 million on the event. And this has nothing to do with the podcast. But as I said to you before we hopped on, I don't watch UFC. I'm not interested in fighting blood, sweat, all that. Like, it's not my thing.

[00:11:54] But all the pre-events, the White House being lit up in red, white, and blue, and the fireworks and the flyovers and all that, like that really, this is so silly, you guys, but it really renewed my sense of patriotism. And that has nothing to do with who is president. It was just like this, this is what America is. This is what we're about. And I personally felt like that whole display was so unifying. That was my opinion on that. So sorry, I had nothing to do with this.

[00:12:24] Yeah, when we were talking about it, I said, it feels good to be unabashedly proud to be American. I feel like it hasn't felt that way in a long time. It feels like we're somehow supposed to be, and you see it across the world. It's a weird phenomenon about how you look at other countries, like Great Britain is going through this as well. There's a lot of countries in Europe where you're not allowed to be proud of being from that country. It's weird. Like, I'm getting a little off topic now, but I know right now that in England,

[00:12:52] they are telling people don't fly the St. George flag for the World Cup because it's offensive to some people in the UK, which is mind boggling that you can't fly the English flag in England to celebrate the World Cup because it's offensive. It might offend somebody. Like my house, the side of my garage, when you walk up to my front door,

[00:13:19] I have this like 15 foot by, I don't even know, American flag on it. Like, I just, my husband actually, I'm surprised he like, he put it up for me and I was just like, thanks. And I want another one on a flagpole. Like I do. I, and yeah, sorry, this is way off topic, but I, I've been kind of like listening to the old country songs that are all, you know, very patriotic. And I'm like, I feel this again. And the 4th of July is coming up. It's the 250th anniversary.

[00:13:47] And I just had nothing to do with UFC. It's not about Trump. I understand we were talking about this too, before we hopped on America was built on imperfections with imperfect people with lots of mistakes, but regardless, we're, we're trying, everyone's been trying and the sacrifices that people went through and still go through to make this country, the country it is like, I just, yeah, I'm feeling very American pride right now. So sorry, that was way off topic.

[00:14:14] You guys, we, we're just getting all geared up for the 4th of July. Uh, some people checking in from Ventura County, someone from Inland Empire. Um, somebody, uh, somebody pointed out that, uh, didn't they get $20 million to Trump proof California by using taxpayer dollars? It's a good thing. They passed the bill to Trump proof California and got $20 million for lawyers. Uh, yeah. So yeah, it's yeah.

[00:14:39] For, for someone who likes to talk about political theater, uh, at taxpayer expense, Gavin Newsom is the last person who should be talking. I mean, how much, how many tens of millions they've spent on political theater to just sue Donald Trump and make it seem like they they're fighting Donald Trump. So, all right, let's keep going so we can finish this. We need it through the receipt of a $400 million private jet from a foreign government that he plans to keep when he leaves office.

[00:15:07] Through his son's ventures in countries where his own administration is simultaneously making policy. His personal fortune is skyrocketed by $4 billion since making his return to office. This is the behavior of a regime, not a republic. The White House has become. Yeah. So are we going to talk about how much Jennifer has benefited? Yes. Yes. Yes.

[00:15:34] In fact, we are going to talk about how much Jennifer Newsom has benefited from taxpayers from being the first partner and her nonprofits. That's kind of the point of what we're going to get into. So let's, you know, just ignore all that, but talk about Trump. Yeah. We're going to talk about all that. There's a lot of stuff that's coming out. I mean, just as a reminder, it's not coming out. It's all been out there. So for a guy who's sitting here projecting as if he's a squeaky clean guy, there's a ton of stuff that we all know.

[00:16:03] And we've been covering on the Gavin Newsom for years on this podcast. So again, don't throw stones in glass houses. A marketplace, a marketplace for sneakers and coins and watches, cologne, guitars, Bibles and phones. Influence for sale, access for sale. And today, my family and I can personally confirm that justice is for sale.

[00:16:30] To Donald Trump, who I know is watching because he watches everything, I have a message for you. You can subpoena my records. You can investigate me. You can harass me. Put my name on every and any enemies list you have. But leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta. I'd like to say something to my wife. These times are not normal. They're not ordinary. I love you.

[00:16:58] And I'm sorry he's doing this. You have not earned a single one of the indignities that he's trying to inflict on you and our children. And to Donald Trump, this country, this country does not belong to you. It does not belong to your cronies. And we're going to fight your lawlessness. And we're going to continue to remind the people of this country of your corruption.

[00:17:22] That same corruption our founders warned us against as we move to celebrate our 250th anniversary. I'm going to keep reminding Americans of what they warned would happen if a man with no character ever held the office of presidency. So let me say it again. Mr. President, come after me. I'm not going anywhere. And the country is watching. Okay.

[00:17:50] If my husband spoke to me like that, Camille, I love you. I'm being serious right now. I'd be like, dude, shut up. Be like, do you really love me? I'm not quite sure if you do love me. This was written by someone else and really rehearsed. Yeah. It doesn't sound very genuine at all. Uh, anyway, go ahead. Let's get into the nitty gritty.

[00:18:15] Cause there's a lot to get into and unpack here with Gavin Newsom and in the first partner, or in this case, his wife, because the mother of his children, his wife, not the first partner, because she can't stand on her own. And it's not fair to pick on her cause she's not strong enough. Uh, all right. So this is the, um, breakdown. This is floated around from open the books after a long time. So this has been floating around social media for a while, but it's important that people look at this again.

[00:18:45] So this is just the diagram of how this all works. So Gavin Newsom is governor state funding under 28 billion for colleges for schools and community colleges since signed in 2022. And then of that from California schools goes to the representation project of which Jennifer her, Sabiel Newsom, the first partner is on the board of that's about 1.5 million. And then they create curriculum movies and lesson plans that go back to the California schools.

[00:19:12] Um, then they feature films from this in the school curriculum. So he gives a bunch of money to California schools. They hire the representation project to then create lesson plans and movies. And then the representation project then pays out 1.6 million, uh, to girls club entertainment, which is a for-profit company.

[00:19:37] And then the salary goes to Jennifer Sabiel Newsom and she gets profits from the for-profit company. So do you know what I forgot about until just now is nonprofits they're, um, they're required to be what, what is, well, anyway, whatever it is, sorry. Graham, she actually, the nonprofit had went inactive for a while, but was still receiving money. Do you remember that? We talked about that.

[00:20:07] Yeah. Yeah. I had totally forgotten about that to literally the second. And so it was inactive. And when your nonprofit goes inactive, you're legally not allowed to receive funds. And it was inactive for a few months, which not the world's biggest deal, but at the same time, you would think that these, these two right here could get it together. I mean, she's the first partner her, you would think her nonprofit, like she would have the proper people in place to not allow it to go inactive, but they were receiving funds during

[00:20:37] those times. And that is absolutely illegal. So, um, interesting. Yes. Uh, this is from California globe, uh, California globe, Gavin Newsom's pay to play politics is California for sale. Uh, if you don't know quid pro quo means something for something. Uh, we all know what quid pro quo means, but that's what it means. Governor Gavin Newsom quote used his office to try to block a small tribe from opening

[00:21:05] a casino in Northern California after taking nearly $2 million from the federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, a major California political donor, which operates its own gambling camp compound just 15 miles away from its rivals proposed site, which broke ground on a $1 billion expansion in 2023 known as, so this is another thing that to look into is behested payments.

[00:21:28] So behested payments are when the governor can ask certain organizations or companies to donate to certain nonprofits or causes. So basically it's a request from the governor known as behested payments. This is governor's first rodeo. He accepted more than $700,000 from two major law firms in 2021 to both create and defend his executive order to repeal death penalty rules and dismantle the death, uh, chamber at San Quentin.

[00:21:55] Governor Newsom's behested 3.5 million in 2018, the year he was elected governor in 2018, he reported behested payments totaling 12.1. Uh, but wait, there's more according to California globe in 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic. And when the governor's emergency powers were greatly expanded payments to various entities at Newsom's behest shot up to a whopping $226 million.

[00:22:21] According to the state's fair political practice commission, Fox news reported. This one is interesting because if this doesn't seem like blatant corruption, it's, it's, but behested payments are legal, but the fact that it's so quid pro quo, it is, this is almost more out in the open pay for play than like Hillary Clinton and the Clinton foundation. 45 million from blue shield of California and Kaiser Permanente for as a housing issue.

[00:22:51] And then the governor chose both blue shield and Kaiser Permanente to help manage vaccine distribution in California. Between 2018 and 2019, United health donated 220,000 to political committees controlled by Newsom who later awarded $492 million in contracts to United health subsidiaries and no bid expedited situations. That's a $220,000 investment for a $492 million return.

[00:23:20] So you can see sort of the breakdown of his behested payments. Um, that's, that's, that's a lot. And that's one way that they pay for play. They benefit from the governor's office, him and the first partner, or in this case, his wife and the mother of his children. I just want to remind everybody he's a wife and the mother of his children, not the first partner anymore.

[00:23:46] Um, let's talk about another story. If everybody remembers back, because I think he's going to probably try and bury what he did during COVID COVID is going to be a black guy when he runs for president. Remember this story? Uh, remember the shady multimillion dollar home and $203,000 Cabo vacay. Remember when he did that during Cabo? Totally forgot about that. Uh, in 2018. We also walked out these years.

[00:24:16] A lot of stuff we tried to black out because it was so traumatizing. Uh, here's an example of his winery in 2018, 2019 LLC tied to Newsom's cousin, business partner in Plumjack co-president Jeremy Scher paid $3.7 million in cash for a Fair Oaks estate in Sacramento in December, 2018. In December, October, 2019, the LLC gifted the home to the Newsom's free and clear claiming

[00:24:43] Newsom was a member of the LLC in order to avoid roughly $4,000 in transfer taxes. If you don't remember, I will take you in the way back machine because again, we're going way back to 2018, eight years ago when Gavin Newsom was elected governor. He spent about three to four weeks in the governor's mansion, which is where to where governors of California have been living for a long time.

[00:25:11] He didn't think it was appropriate for him. So they went out and bought this $4 million home in cash out in Fair Oaks, which is a very ritzy area of Sacramento gated community, ritzy, ritzy, hoity toity, 45 minutes outside the city. So for a guy who cares about carbon emissions and all of that, he still has to have all his SUVs and everything drive to him back and forth and his family back and forth to

[00:25:37] Sacramento with his SUVs rather than the governor's mansion, which is a quick walk down the road from his office. So that was in 2018. And then they received $2.7 million tax free when they obtained a cash out refinance. So another $2.7 million right there. So the LLC bought the home and transferred to it so they can get around taxes. Again, a guy who loves- That's a big deal.

[00:26:02] I mean, it's like $4,000 in taxes is just too much. That's- Even though, aren't we all about taxing the rich? Yeah. Aren't we taxing the millionaires? The 1%? Isn't Gavin Newsom and the first partner part of the 1%? I mean, that seems, the more you say it out loud, a guy who is a multimillionaire from

[00:26:24] a bunch of different avenues, shady or not, wanted to avoid $4,000 in transfer taxes. That's why they did it. I mean, that just seems kind of shady. Right. Like, if you can't afford $4,000 in taxes, maybe you need to buy a home that's $4,000 less.

[00:26:47] In 2024, Governor Newsom and the first partner purchased a $9.1 million home back in Marin County. The Marin mansion is 5,600 square feet with Newsom's paying 7% above the asking price. So not only could they afford a $9.1 million home, they paid above the asking price. How much income does it take to purchase now? That was more than $4,000. Sorry. I bet that transfer was, well, that wasn't, doesn't say if it was bought by Plumjack Winery.

[00:27:16] A buyer would need to make an annual income of nearly $2 million to qualify for a $9 million house if purchased on a 30-year mortgage. The monthly payments would be roughly $56,464 a month at today's current interest rates. Do you want to pay $56,000 for a mortgage? Because Gavin Newsom can. Again, we're talking about taxing billionaires and taxing the rich.

[00:27:41] And he earns only $211,000 from the state of California and receives $94,000 in benefits. So, like, can you imagine taking office and then getting rich? Because, I mean, that's what Trump is doing. And so, you know, let's talk about Trump. Getting rich off being in office. I mean, that's what Gavin Newsom said. He said Trump is in office to benefit himself and his family.

[00:28:08] Except don't look at the fact that he bought a $10 million mansion in Marin County. Don't look at that. That's not him helping himself. He paid 7% over asking, but also managed to evade $4,000 in taxes. Okay. Okay.

[00:28:24] Now, the Cabo story, if you remember back then, in 2021, during the governor's statewide COVID lockdowns, they stayed at a $23,000 to $29,000 per night villa, Ladacha Cabo San Lucas Villa, owned by a Russian entrepreneur and businessman, Oleg Tinkov. Which, again, if you remember back then, let's get in the way back machine. When everybody who was Russian was the devil, because that was the Ukraine war was starting and all that.

[00:28:54] So everybody who was Russian was the devil. So the Chelsea soccer team forced their owner, because he was Russian, to sell the team, because God forbid we couldn't have a Russian owner in the English Premier League, even though he had nothing to do with Vladimir Putin. The Globe sources said that from their rental, they could see the $10,000 to $12,000 square foot villa that came with two chefs, four to five servers, personal trainers, and the like.

[00:29:23] Well, we know he doesn't use a personal trainer. That's why you call him noodles. That's why I call him noodles, because he's got little noodley arms. So maybe they like didn't keep the, you know, maybe they saved some money there. And let's see, the total price, $203,000 for a vacation when he made $209,000 in 2020 as governor. So, just throwing that out there. And do you think he paid for that? I doubt he paid for that.

[00:29:52] I would think probably the Russian oligarch had something to do with it, or someone connected to the Russian oligarch did something. I'm sure it was a gift. So that's Gavin Newsom in a nutshell. He, like you astutely pointed out, he's going after Donald Trump and saying, look at all the money he's making while being president. But look at all the money that Gavin Newsom and first partner are making. We already talked about her connections. Go ahead.

[00:30:20] Phil, he had a rough upbringing with just a single mom and his dyslexia. And, you know, he wasn't privileged. And he was an outsider on the inside. He was an outsider on the inside. Well, that story is a nice sob story, but it's not the full story of Gavin Newsom. If you want the full story, you can check out my book, The Gilded State, which is coming out this summer. Go to thegildedstate.com.

[00:30:49] I have a full, we didn't plan that at all. That was a nice live read. It has a full chapter on Gavin Newsom's upbringing and how he's been brought up around very powerful people with a lot of money. So it makes sense he ended up very powerful with a lot of money. All right. And your video a couple weeks ago. Yes. No, seriously, that wasn't planned. Yeah, go check out that video as well. That's kind of a preview of the chapter from that book. All right.

[00:31:16] So the twist of all of this is it was later revealed in the afternoon that as much as Gavin Newsom was railing against President Trump, this actually didn't start under President Trump. It actually started, all of this started under President Biden. So interesting that he's going after Donald Trump and he's projecting that it was Donald Trump.

[00:31:42] KCRA 3 had a story about a source close to the situation who spoke on the condition that they remain anonymous, told KCRA 3. There are multiple federal investigations involving people related to Governor Newsom that began a year ago through U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento. One is related to tax activity involving his wife, Jennifer Seville Newsom. Another is related to the staff and governor's office. We all talked about her multiple times. Dana Williamson, who was indicted in November.

[00:32:10] She took a plea deal in May and had all but three of the charges dropped against her, which someone brought up in the chat. And I want to give this person credit. If you want to raise your hand, let me know it was you. Someone said, do you think this is all starting to come out because she just took that plea deal? And now she's probably part of that plea deal is she's giving more information about what happened. Oh, I never even thought about that. So I don't know.

[00:32:40] That's a good theory is that kind of the timeline is that his former aide, Dana Williamson, took the plea deal. And now all of a sudden she might be talking to federal authorities as part of the investigation. And now they're starting to ramp up the investigation and Gavin Newsom is trying to get out in front of it.

[00:33:04] It goes on to say the source said the investigations were launched because of complaints received by local and state investigators not at the direction of President Trump or Blanche. So it was not at the direction of President Trump or Todd Blanche. It was literally his own people in Sacramento. It was his own people, like his local, I guess, local officials and local investigators, state and local investigators who are looking into Gavin Newsom and starting all this.

[00:33:32] I mean, it's it's almost comical, comical. I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm having trouble speaking tonight. I'm all over the place. It's almost comical that. He had to try and come out and head this off at the pass with that whole press conference. And you were saying how he was like on a tweet storm yesterday, kind of projecting going after President Trump, making this all about President Trump's trying to come after me.

[00:34:00] And then as like the day went on, more information came out, including the information that all this began. Not all of it. Some of it began under the Biden administration, especially related to Jennifer Spiele Newsom and the ties with the nonprofits. They started to investigate that. And I think people need to understand that, like, yeah, the federal government's a big thing. The president has a lot of power over it. In the Biden administration, there's a lot of people working in the federal government during the Biden administration.

[00:34:29] They're there, whether it was Trump or Biden or Trump. And if something looks fishy and there's investigators in the federal government, especially with nonprofits, it's not surprising that people started to investigate what's going on with these nonprofits. And it started under Biden. This is all a developing story. Shout out to Open the Books because they were really trying to break this story a few years back. Like they were releasing like the infographic that you show.

[00:34:58] They were releasing this information a few years ago. Yeah. Open the Books. We had Andre on. Rest in peace, Andre. He passed away a couple of years ago. He was a great guy. Did a lot of great work on this stuff. Really great guest to have on because he talked about all this stuff. They were ringing the bell on this and sounding the alarm on this for like years. And people were kind of like, yeah, OK, we know they're corrupt. But now it's all sort of coming to a head with the federal investigations. Well, whether anything comes from it, we're going to say this is still a developing story.

[00:35:29] But it is interesting. It is interesting. He's under under the gun of the federal investigators. I should say under the gun. He's under the microscope of the federal investigators, especially someone who's most likely going to be the Democratic nominee. And of course, he's going to turn it into Trump. I did pull up the predicted market. Did you have any thoughts before I pulled up the predicted market? No. Go ahead. No. OK. Let's see.

[00:35:59] Pull this up. So as of right now, according to predicted. No, I was just going to say, you know, I rudely interrupt when I have a thought. You'll just let me know when you have a thought. I'll speak over you just like I just did this moment. Let's see. Right now it has Gavin Newsom at 25% odds that he will be the Democratic nominee in 2028. Didn't they put Harris above him? Well, that's a different story, which we're going to get to.

[00:36:28] This is predicted so that they have a 25% for Gavin Newsom. AOC is right behind him at 12%. God help us for AOC presidency. Kamala Harris at 11%. John Ossoff at 10%. Josh Shapiro at 6%. Pete Buttigieg. I mean, that's just an incredible bench. Look at that bench. That's the Democratic bench going into 2028. That's quite something. Kamala Harris, who nobody liked her when she first ran for president.

[00:36:56] She didn't get one single vote in the primary. One delegate. Got slaughtered in 2024. And somehow she's still at 11%. Hey, she's a woman. Yes. Yes. So, you know, that's all the qualifications that she needs. Hear her world. In a Democrat. Because remember, women's rights. Abortion. Women's rights. Abortion. That's all that matters.

[00:37:26] That's all that matters. Cost of living. Gas prices. Anything like that. So, you brought up the whole Kamala Harris story. So, this was a poll that came out that Kamala Harris preferred Democratic presidential primary candidate. The Democratic presidential primary for 2028 were held today. Who would you support? Kamala Harris, 27%. Not sure is beating Gavin Newsom. I just want to throw that out there. This is the center square voters voice poll.

[00:37:55] They obviously rallied around Becerra, but that was how it was for the not sure unknown was like the leading poll for governor for California for so long. We clearly all have a lot of faith in our potential leaders. So, good job. So, that's, it's all very interesting that this all came out. He's under federal investigation. I'm not saying that the stories about the poll and Kamala Harris being ahead are somehow linked.

[00:38:25] It's just kind of bad timing if you're Gavin Newsom and you're gearing up to run for president. Polling shows you're behind Kamala Harris, who hasn't really said she wants to run again. This news about investigations came out. He tried to kind of head it off and get out in front of it. Didn't work because the internet just figured it out and got around it and said, okay, no, actually this came out because of the Biden administration. This has been going on for a while.

[00:38:53] KCRA 3, which got their source that said this is actually started by local investigators, had nothing to do with President Trump or Todd Blanche. So, I guess the burning question is, how much of an ass does Gavin Newsom look like after yesterday morning, making this all about Donald Trump, and then it came out later in the afternoon that President Trump had nothing to do with any of this. It's just, this has been going on for a while. What's your answer on how much of an ass he looks like? And for the chat as well, how much of an ass does Gavin Newsom look like?

[00:39:22] Like the Democrats, their little logo is a jackass. So, I guess that's fitting. You know? Yes. There you go. I have a question. Can he use his PAC or his, you know, his, he has a few federal PACs to pay legal fees for this? Um, hmm. That's a good question.

[00:39:49] Because it's not, well, I'm sure he has a campaign war chest from the recall. We all know that. He has a huge campaign war chest. So, he could, he'll be able to fight this. And I think he already hired attorneys and dropped like $100,000 on something. I saw somewhere on X that someone said they've already hired attorneys and spent $100,000 on attorneys to kind of defend them. And this guy like the Rob Bonta story as well. He spent over what?

[00:40:16] $400,000, $460,000 on attorneys fees. He was like close to $500 just because he was questioned. Just because he was being investigated. Now, let's. He wasn't like not even officially investigated. He was just like, hey, we have questions. And he was like. Hey, we have questions. And he spent $500,000. $500,000 for lawyers. Let's play this game. And the people in the chat who are watching live as well, you can join in as well. What are the, how crazy would it be?

[00:40:46] If Newsom and Bonta were brought down because of federal investigations. And Becerra. How crazy. And Becerra. Don't forget Becerra. And Becerra, who is running for governor, could be brought down by federal investigators.

[00:41:05] Is it a coincidence, a mere coincidence that some of the three of the biggest names in California, like the political circle, Xavier Becerra, Rob Bonta and Gavin Newsom, all are somehow under federal investigation or involved or tangentially involved in a federal investigation? Hmm. I want to say that I know that that does definitely look like a political play. Like it looks like an attack on, you know, Democrats in California.

[00:41:36] And I see how that looks like that. And I, I never want anybody innocent to be accused, uh, found guilty, of course, of a crime. Like that's horrible. But from what we've seen, and you and I have been talking about all this stuff for years. And from what we've seen, these people really are corrupt. I mean, it's just like where there's smoke, there's fire, but there's more than smoke here.

[00:42:04] Like we're, you know, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's just, it's like, there's not just like one story of, oh, that's suspicious. But, you know, there's probably an answer. It's been multiple stories where these people are then that we find they're intertwined with this and that and this nefarious thing. And it just keeps adding up and it's bizarre. It really is bizarre.

[00:42:30] And so certainly I would love to see corrupt politicians taken down and, you know, found guilty of these crimes, if there are crimes and have to pay for them or, you know, whatever it is, jail time, which I do feel like they would all probably get off with a slap on the wrist. But it, I think it would be the best thing for California to really see some of them brought down.

[00:42:56] And I mean, not to plug your book and your videos again, but as you've been talking about this, like the royal family of California and how Newsom's involved in this. And it's just like, let's take down these corrupt royal families. Like, let's end these dynasties and going back to Trump where, again, I'm not like a Trump apologist or defender, but that's what he did as far as, you know, there was the Clintons and the Obamas and the Bushes and everything.

[00:43:22] And Trump came in and he was quite literally the outsider who was just like, no more. I want to come in and actually fix things. I don't want more of the status quo. I want to change things for the better. And not to say that he has done everything for the better. His second term has been a little shaky, but it's just like, we love an upset. We do. And we need this. So that's my answer.

[00:43:50] I think it's for a lot of people who are frustrated and people who tune into the show, because that's sort of the whole, that is the whole point of the show is people who are frustrated with California and the politics and everything like that. People being held to justice, the same standard that you and I would be held to justice would be satisfying.

[00:44:10] It would be satisfying and almost a breath of fresh air for a lot of people in California, because it does feel like the game is essentially slanted, not in our favor, rigged against us. And normal citizens get beaten up and pummeled. And people at the top like Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta and Xavier Becerra get away with all of this stuff. And we just documented a small portion of what the Newsoms get away with and how much money that they make.

[00:44:38] And the first partner makes all of this money with their nonprofits, which is a common game in politics, is that people set up these nonprofits and the government then kind of pay to play all of this stuff. Doesn't make it right, but it does. It would be a huge.

[00:44:52] It's a huge feeling of satisfaction for a lot of people to see justice being served that if you're doing something wrong and you're corrupt and you're stealing from taxpayers and you're doing stuff that you're not supposed to that anybody, a small nonprofit would get dinged over or someone would get arrested for. That is satisfying. And I think it would be nice for people who are frustrated in California to be like, OK, there is law and order here in California. And you can't get away with everything.

[00:45:22] So it'll be interesting. I mean, if Gavin Newsom. We have obviously there's still an outcome yet to come, but they took him down. Eric Swalwell thought he was going to waltz right into the governor's mansion. I mean, he was the lead Democrat moving into the primary until he got taken down. And right now, Xavier Becerra is the Democrat running for governor. I can't say he's the Democratic nominee because they don't have the they didn't nominate anybody.

[00:45:50] But he's the Democrat facing off against Steve Hilton. And you brought this up before. Imagine if he gets pinched by the federal investigators or something happens to him and he gets arrested for it. Or does that tank his entire campaign and give a clear path to Steve Hilton to run and run into the governor's mansion? And then the same thing with Gavin Newsom. If something comes out with Gavin Newsom, does that torpedo his 2028 campaign?

[00:46:16] I mean, he's already got a baggage list and a laundry list of problems going into 2028 a mile long. I mean, just we we block out 2020 and 2021 here in California because it was so traumatic and so unbelievably insane in terms of the violation of our constitutional civil rights. We just kind of go, we're just going to block it out. We're going to forget that a lot of this stuff happens. It's in the past. We're just going to forget about it.

[00:46:44] But in reality, people don't forget about this and you shouldn't forget about this. I mean, Gavin Newsom was the governor of a state that shut down churches, that that put his foot down on freedom of religion, on freedom of speech. He wouldn't allow businesses to open. He put tens of thousands of businesses out of business because of the fact that they couldn't operate restaurants. How many restaurants did we lose? Restauranteurs lost their businesses, their life businesses because of Gavin Newsom during that time.

[00:47:10] And then, I mean, he's out there in Cabo at a twenty nine thousand dollar a month or twenty thousand twenty nine thousand dollar a night. Dining at the French laundry. Dining at the French laundry. I mean, how many times are they going to show that? His kids are their private school, which is somehow allowed to be kept open while your kids were told they can't go anywhere and need to wear masks at home behind their screens. And I have a question for you and the chat.

[00:47:39] And I don't have an answer to this, but let's just hypothetical hypothetical. Hypothetical Newsom, Becerra, Rob Bonta, all three, two of them, one of them does get charged with corruption like stuff comes out. What do you because these are top names? California is a big state. These are well-known names.

[00:48:02] What do you think happens to Democrats as far as like the trust in Democrats for twenty twenty eight elections? And I know that's like a whole big what if and that's like. Far in the future, but how do you think that would play out? If something happens to him before twenty twenty eight, what happens to the Democratic field? Yeah.

[00:48:26] Like, do you think that the faith in Democrats would waver because it was like, you know, Newsom's the golden boy. Rob Bonta is the attorney general of California who. Who knows what he'll run for fighting Trump, fighting Trump, fighting Trump. And then he gets out with like or do you think there would be major backlash and people would agree like, oh, this was the Trump administration. This is just political play. And please, in the chat, I would love to hear what you guys think. Yeah.

[00:48:56] Let us know in the chat what your thoughts are. Also, if you have any comments or questions. This topic took way longer than I was expecting. It's almost a whole show. How did you not know? Yeah. I'm foolishly. I had two other stories that we were going to get to. I guess we're going to have to save those stories. You forget when you plan it out. You forget that I talk too much about random things. That always happens. We plan a bunch of stories and then we're like, we're not going to get to all these stories because we want to talk about American pride.

[00:49:23] We want to talk about the St. George flag in England and how they can't fly it. And, you know, justice for our English brothers over there, brothers and sisters over there. I don't know. It's funny because California couldn't field a superstar or big star power name for governor. Or that's a microcosm. Now, as we always say, California does lead the way as goes California.

[00:49:52] So does maybe that's the resignation. So it's it'll be interesting if hypothetically, Gavin Newsom, something happens where he can't run for president in 2028. Long shot, but we'll see. Hypothetically, something happens to him and he can't run. Your top picks are Kamala Harris. AOC and Josh Shapiro. Katie Porter is going to run. Don't discount her. She loves to run.

[00:50:22] If Katie Porter couldn't win a Senate seat and she couldn't get to the top two in the primary California governor, I mean, she could run for president. Sure. I'm sure people will support her. I'm, you know, single mom pushing that grocery cart filling up her minivan. Just a perennial candidate. We know people like that. You know, Amar Kampanajara is one person who's a perennial candidate, always loses, but he does that. We know a lot of smaller no names who do that all the time and don't get anywhere.

[00:50:49] Um, I think it means it's wide open. I mean, and then you're going up against the J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio in 2028. I mean, if I were a Democrat, I wouldn't feel too great about that. Bernie Sanders is not running again. You have to assume that AOC is the Bernie Sanders replacement. She is the new she's taking over that Bernie Sanders socialist role.

[00:51:13] Um, so it'll be, it will be interesting if something happens to Gavin Newsom, but even if he doesn't go to jail or anything like that, and it turns out, you know, he was under serious federal investigation. It became more than just a passing federal investigation. Man, does that, is that just another black mark on his entire time as governor?

[00:51:40] Because it just seems like he's racked up a ton of black marks. If I were the Republican team running against Gavin Newsom in 2028, my goodness, you have so much bad coverage and bad footage to just run in packs to like super packs as well to just run against Gavin Newsom in 2028. And just show the homelessness, you show, show the gas prices, you show home prices, you show

[00:52:07] downtowns where that had been absolutely ravished by retail theft. You just look at all of this and just the French laundry, just show him in the French laundry over and over and over again, show what he did during COVID and be like, is this what you want in the white house and scare all the swing voters into not voting for Gavin Newsom? So even then, if he somehow makes it through, I don't, he still has a ton of baggage going into 2028.

[00:52:31] But to your point, if something happened to him, that is a weak field. I would say that's a weak field of Democrats running in 2028. I don't know how people feel in the chat. That's a weak field of Democrats. I don't think AOC is going to win a lot of swing states. You know, Northeast, Socialist. I don't think you're going to win a lot of that. You're not going to, you know, win Georgia.

[00:52:59] You can tell me you're going to win Georgia as a Northeast socialist. You're going to win a lot of these Midwest swing states. No. Are you going to win over people in Florida? A lot of those Hispanic voters who fled from socialism, whether it's Venezuela or Cuba, you're going to win over Florida and say, oh yeah, we're going to elect a socialist just because she has a Hispanic last name. Like, you know, just go down the list. I just don't think there's a lot of states that AOC would win.

[00:53:29] Kamala Harris was not popular, even as much as she loved her Doritos. And Josh Shapiro, I don't think he sparks excitement in a lot of people. So I don't know. What are your thoughts? I don't know. I don't know what my thoughts are. I mean, I do think that if, if all of them were taken down, I, I do believe that then

[00:53:55] it, it could even be a domino effect across the United States of like, okay, like we're finally, we're finally getting somewhere. And like, I think more investigations would take place. I think more people would come and speak out and investigations would get started. And I think that there would be, and I'm not saying all Democrats are corrupt. I don't want anyone to think that I'm saying that. And I even had posted something today about Democrats. Like on my Instagram, I was like, Democrats in California don't care about your humanity or don't care about humanity.

[00:54:23] But I just want to like specify, I want to clarify that I really am talking about like our elected officials in California because we're just the most extreme next to New York. You know, like we're pretty crazy here. And I think that's why I give so much pushback to them. But like, I have Democrat friends. So I'm not, I'm not saying that all Democrats are evil or bad or anything like that. And I mean, we're seeing what's his face, Fetterman? Like, when did he, when did he become like the voice of reason?

[00:54:52] You know, like maybe he'll be the nominee for. We're, um, so when, I just want to say like, when I, when I say that, I really am talking about like the crazy, really left liberals that we have running California. Yeah. And, um, but if we start to see a lot of, is there, I mean, Minnesota has a lot of corruption. We know it's there. Tim, Tim Walls, like, you know, as much as he wants to play this innocent man, so much

[00:55:20] has happened under his nose and, um, whether he's innocent or was aware. Okay. But why did you let your state get to that? That like, that's another thing with Gavin Newsom. Like if you weren't aware of all this, how did you allow your state to get to this point? And that just shows you're not really good at a leadership role. So that's really not an answer. That was just more thoughts. Someone in the chat, I put it up on the screen about constitutional rights. You're right.

[00:55:50] Constitutional rights are rights. They're natural rights given by God. That is the belief of natural rights. That's the bill of rights. Um, they're not given to us. I've never said that they're given to us. They are supposed to be. The view is they are protected and prevented. It prevents the federal government and the state governments by incorporation to not infringe upon those natural rights. Um, somehow it got kind of perverted along the way where we believe constitutional rights

[00:56:19] somehow come from the constitution. That's never been the case. Um, whether America is a country or not, whether it's called America or whatever country, these are natural rights that just exist in nature. So whoever said that, I just want to say, I agree with you. Um, there was something else I wanted to say about what's going on with the Democrats. Um, and now I've lost my train of thought. It was an AOC or Kamala or something like that. It's, it's going to be a tough slog.

[00:56:48] They're already behind on fundraising. Um, I know that they're not keeping pace with Republicans. If Gavin Newsom goes down because of some federal investigation or federal arrest. But the other thing I think that a lot of people who, and again, this is a chat forward show. This is why we have these live shows because I'm keeping an eye on the chat while I say all this stuff. I think this is one thing that people were voting for this Trump administration to see.

[00:57:18] I think they were trying, they were hoping to see this kind of action. Now, again, this federal investigation was not started by Trump or Todd Blanche. As far as we know, some of it was started under the Biden administration, but a lot of it, I think this is what people kind of were hoping for with this Trump administration is to go after corrupt politicians. And I think that was one thing that frustrated a lot of people about Pam Bondi was there was

[00:57:47] this open, I mean, Nick Shirley exposed everything about the fraud going on in Minnesota. As far as I know, I don't think there's been massive arrests. I don't think there's been RICO charges against a lot of these people who committed all this fraud. I know they're looking into what's going on with the hospice fraud here in LA. So Bill O'Saley is on that as well. Bill O'Saley is doing like yeoman's work of like just taking on corruption and crime and

[00:58:16] gangs and all of that stuff in LA. And it's a lot of work, but he's doing a good job. So I think people want to see that. I think people are frustrated and they were voting for this Trump administration thinking that was going to be part of it was they were not going to be, they were not going to allow corrupt politicians and they're going to try and I guess for lack of a better term, drain the swamp on a lot of this stuff. And maybe we'll see it.

[00:58:42] Maybe it will, it looks, they're going to paint it as going after political enemies. But in the end, I think if people are guilty of stuff, then they need to go to jail and they need to face justice. There needs to be faith in this, this government, in the federal government and our state governments that if you do something wrong, you go to jail. You are a public servant. You don't get special exemptions. You don't get special privileges.

[00:59:09] You are not royalty as much as I like to call them the royal families because they are the royal families of California. You're not royals in the sense that you are protected from any sort of criminal liability and any sort of law enforcement calling after you. You are a public servant and you work for the people. And if you do stuff wrong and you funnel taxpayer money to nonprofits that end up benefiting

[00:59:36] your wife or if you're Rob Bonta, who is connected to the Duong family who were paying off politicians to get contracts and contractor works and what was it? Waste management contracts and all that stuff. Millions of dollars. Then you should go to jail. You should face consequences because everyone who's watching and listening to this show knows that you or I would get the book thrown at us for much less.

[01:00:05] So for a lot of what they get away with, I think that needs to restore our hope that there's people trying to hold people accountable. There is a sense of justice in this country. Yeah. And I think that really does frustrate the people. And I know that California is primarily Democrat, but we still have 5 million plus Republicans here. And I know some Democrats are fed up. We had Susan Collins on here.

[01:00:33] She's still a Democrat, but she's fed up with how her party's behaving and what the elected officials are doing. And she's going to continue to be Democrat because she hopes to be part of the change to make them a more honest party who like, and I would agree that if, and again, not that there's not corruption in the Republican party too, but I agree that if we could fix both parties, imagine if we were like, oh, well, I prefer that candidate, but that one's not so bad.

[01:01:02] Like at least they're honest and they, they want to do honest things and really help Californians and, you know, they're here for the right reasons and all that. But like, imagine if that's how we went into each of our general elections, just like knowing that our top two were, were good people. And that it was like, well, I'm going to vote for the one that I prefer, but luckily we've got honest politicians in, in office again, or in, in our state again, luckily things have been fixed.

[01:01:31] Luckily corruption is far less. There's always going to be corruption. I mean, that's just in any industry in the world. People always figure out how to take advantage. What? I was just going to say people always figure out how to take advantage, but if you kind of put a cap on like, okay, well we're going after people who were committing these huge crimes. So we're watching you. So keep an eye out for that. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

[01:01:57] I think that would help restore a whole lot of faith in elections and just in politicians in general and not just American pride, but California pride, you know, like it would, it would just all kind of, there'd be, and there'd be more unity among people because it would be like, your party leader's not, your nominee's not so bad. Your, your nominee's not so bad. Okay. Like we can, you know, feel better about who's running our state, who's trying to run our state, our local elections, whatever.

[01:02:27] Like it would just be, the world would be a better place. It would be, um, for you, it would be less about, it would be, it'd be less about attacking the other person and just saying that they're corrupt. And that's sort of what all the Democrats running for governor made it about was it was all about Donald Trump, which you're not running against Donald Trump. So I don't know why every Democrat running for California governor made it about running against Donald Trump as if that's the most important thing that people cared about

[01:02:57] in California. I think the most important people thing people care about is affordability and whether they continue to live in this state comfortably, not whether or not you're going to fight Trump for the next two years. And then the other two years after that, um, I mean, the world. Sorry. We really didn't get to the other stories. We'll have to come back to that story. Uh, that was a, that was a good story, um, about Spencer Pratt declaring war on, but we'll get to it. I don't, I don't think he's going anywhere. This was just such big breaking news.

[01:03:24] We had to cover this whole story and kind of go over at least a fraction of what the Newsom's have done since they've been in office. Since it's been Gavin Newsom as governor and the first partner as her official title is the first partner. I wonder if the next person coming in is going to call them the first partner or the first lady. Probably if it's Xavier Becerra, I could see it being the first partner, but, um, I was also going to say the world is also already a better place because the next one, the

[01:03:54] championship. So world peace could happen if, if the Knicks can win the championship after 53 years, then world peace is definitely world peace after their, you know, New York wasn't in complete disarray. I mean, uh, they won the championship and then Trump announced a deal in Iran to end the war. So I take that as not a coincidence that the Knicks won the championship and then peace

[01:04:22] came to the middle East between the U S and Iran. But you can, you can disagree, but I see it as the Knicks won the championship and immediately president Trump announced that there was going to be a peace deal in Iran. So I don't know. Coincidence. I think not. All right. We've run a couple minutes over. We don't have time to get to the Spencer press story or the other story that we had kind of locked and loaded. We'll just leave that for another show as well. Um, thank you to everybody who tuned in live.

[01:04:52] Great chat tonight. Love seeing everybody here. Uh, love seeing all your comments. I try to get to as many as possible and see all of this stuff, but it's, you know, I got to be pushing all the buttons as well as hosting the show. So I read them to everybody. I have it open and I read them all after every episode I do. And I really appreciate you guys being here. I enjoy seeing all the comments. Yeah. It's love seeing it. We love seeing an active chat. That's why we do it live because we could just do it and record it and post it, but

[01:05:18] it's more fun when we do it live because we get to hear your guys' input. And sometimes people bring up facts and some people, times people fact check us, or sometimes people bring up another point. That's really interesting. We bring up that point as well. So thank you to everybody in the chat. San Bernardino County. Next week, we have a San Bernardino Assembly candidate. And so, um, if you have friends in the County, please be sure to share next week's episode with them.

[01:05:46] Let them know that for Assembly. I think I said that, that that's important. There's one good comment. I wanted to just share one more time. Uh, Leslie said, we need to come together as we, the people that is our power. The leaders love our infighting takes focus off them. I would a thousand percent agree. I would a thousand percent agree. They don't want us talking. They don't want us trying to figure out our differences.

[01:06:12] They don't want us reaching across the aisle and working with each other. They want us fighting each other. Blue team versus red team, you know, tribalism. That's what they want to see from us. So yeah. Phil tweet that. Give her credit, but tweet that. Tweet that. Comment from tonight's podcast. Yeah. Comment from tonight's podcast from Leslie. Uh, all right. Any other final thoughts before we sign off for, for the night? No, I'm sorry. We went over time.

[01:06:41] And again, I apologize because I ramble as I do. Yeah. There's a lot to say. So there was a lot to say about tonight's episode. All right. Thank you everyone for tuning in.
