00:00:30.420 Gavin Newsom is considered a major contender for the 2028 Democrat primary.

00:00:35.980 He wants to run for president, and he recently announced he was being investigated by the DOJ.

00:00:41.140 But ladies and gentlemen, more information has emerged into exactly what is going on with Gavin Newsom.

00:00:47.600 And oh boy, this sounds serious with even Adam Schiff.

00:00:53.340 Not a guy that Trump likes or a guy who likes Trump saying, you know what?

00:00:56.520 this could be real. As the story goes, Gavin Newsom's wife ran a nonprofit that received

00:01:03.380 large contributions from major corporations, corporations that would have needed special

00:01:08.820 favors from the governor's office in California. The accusation, of course, being that Gavin

00:01:14.380 Newsom's wife was running a nonprofit to funnel lobbying funds to their family that he could then

00:01:20.280 provide seemingly random favors for these companies. You know, the company can't directly

00:01:25.980 go to Newsom and say, here's a million bucks. Give us access to this causeway. Give us special

00:01:32.580 legislative treatment. The name of the game is family member has a nonprofit. Big corporation

00:01:39.420 makes a donation. Governor says for completely unrelated, unrelated reasons, I'm going to be

00:01:45.020 very nice to this corporation. It reeks what the Democrats have done for a long time, notably with

00:01:50.800 accusations at the Clinton Foundation from accusations of what they were doing or the

00:01:56.740 Clinton Global Initiative, that when Hillary Clinton was running for office, they were getting

00:02:02.180 massive donations. And then when Trump won, donations dried up. Many speculated that the

00:02:08.560 Clintons brought in a ton of money that they were going to use to try to win the race, generating

00:02:12.480 massive IOUs to foreign interests. And when she lost, oh boy, were people big mad. That's the

00:02:20.480 name of the game. Now, if this does result in Gavin Newsom going to jail, dude certainly won't be

00:02:26.100 the nominee for president in 2020 unless he does it from jail. I don't know exactly this kind of

00:02:31.700 guy who's going to go to jail for something like this because we've never seen anything like it

00:02:34.300 before. Assuming the accusations, the allegations are true, this could be massive. But at the same

00:02:40.760 time in California, the DOJ has got a major voter fraud investigation underway and California is

00:02:46.000 trying to stop it. But my friends, of course, California's elections are spiritually fraudulent.

00:02:51.760 And I say spiritually because when you legalize or codify fraud, well, it's not fraud anymore,

00:02:58.320 is it? You're allowed to do untoward things. So here's what I did. I asked our good friend,

00:03:04.320 Claude, the little AI bot. I said, if there was a state where you were allowed to submit a ballot

00:03:10.820 seven days after the election, hand dated, and you could use an unverifiable doodle as your

00:03:16.160 signature. Would anyone consider that a real election? And our dear friend said, of course

00:03:20.680 not. Who would consider that a real election? And then I said, well, that's what California does.

00:03:25.440 And then immediately it's like, no, no, no. What California does. I love it. I told our little

00:03:31.220 robot friend, why don't you read the law? And the best part was when Claude goes, holy crap,

00:03:35.780 You're right. This is not an election. Right. So when they say it's fraud, I say no reasonable

00:03:42.640 person would hear these this system and say that's an election again in California. You can

00:03:49.900 take a mail in vote three days after the election up to seven, fill it out, sign it with a picture

00:03:56.260 of Mickey Mouse. Not a joke. Hand date it as long as you're hand dating from the day of the election.

00:04:02.960 turn it in and they will count it. And in order to determine fraud, two independent individuals

00:04:09.680 must conclude proof of fraud beyond a reasonable doubt, making it impossible to detect criminal

00:04:15.800 activity. Well, Gavin Newsom, you're in trouble now. Let's grab the story, my friends, and how

00:04:21.500 this leads into 2028. Before we do, you must go to TimCath.com right now and join the community.

00:05:12.260 Here's the story from the Sacramento Bee.

00:05:15.140 The DOJ investigating Gavin Newsom and his wife.

00:05:17.780 Here's what we know.

00:05:18.780 Now we have this clip from Newsom.

00:05:20.300 I think we can play some sense.

00:05:21.460 Because of my mean tweets.

00:05:22.720 he's coming after me because I'm considering running for president, because he hates that

00:05:28.140 I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit. Donald Trump is

00:05:35.860 simply the most corrupt president in American history. He's turned the levers of government

00:05:42.540 into his own personal power ministries to reward cronies and to try to jail his opponents.

00:05:48.260 It's an interesting accusation.

00:05:50.540 His personal attorney now runs the Department of Justice, which has repeatedly.

00:05:54.680 Can we just know in recent days, federal agents have.

00:05:58.280 How about we do that and just go away, go away.

00:06:00.500 Here's the New York Post.

00:06:01.740 The Gavin Newsom probe is serious and he knows it.

00:06:04.580 From the California Post editorial board, they write.

00:06:08.100 Gavin Newsom and his press office aides gone wild have been trying to mock Trump on social media for more than a year,

00:06:13.420 regardless of the consequences of state for state federal relations.

00:06:16.540 But he can't laugh it off. He can't laugh off the DOJ probe into his family finances.

00:06:22.200 And while Newsom claims the investigation is politically motivated, he knows it's serious.

00:06:26.160 That's why he and his inner circle are reportedly starting to worry. Really. Newsom knows the

00:06:32.720 investigations go back to the Biden administration. His former chief of staff, Dana Williamson,

00:06:37.440 pleaded guilty last month in federal court in Sacramento to conspiracy to commit bank fraud

00:06:43.100 and wire fraud. Among other misdeeds, she and her co-conspirators stole money from the dormant

00:06:49.020 state campaign account of Javier Becerra, a left-wing Democrat who is now the favorite

00:06:53.560 to succeed Newsom. Becerra had denied any knowledge of the crime. Indeed, he claims he is a victim.

00:06:59.440 A part of the alleged scheme involved using Becerra's campaign money to supplement the salary

00:07:04.020 of his own chief of staff when he was Biden's secretary of health and human services. How could

00:07:08.380 these shenanigans go on under Newsom's nose? Part of the answer is that Sacramento has a long

00:07:13.700 history of tolerating corruption, thanks to one party rule, the passive media and a culture of

00:07:19.400 mutual backscratching. For example, Democrat Daryl Steinberg presided over the state Senate at a time

00:07:25.980 when several members were indicted and convicted for various crimes. After failing to clean up

00:07:31.540 that legislative body, he became a lobbyist, then ran for mayor of Sacramento and won serving until

00:07:36.300 2024. Newsom likewise escaped political consequences when he won a recall election in

00:07:42.080 2021 that was held after he hobnobbed mask lists with lobbyists in the elite French laundry

00:07:48.680 restaurant in Napa during the coronavirus pandemic after telling restaurants in the rest of the state

00:07:53.720 to close down. His now infamous dinner speaks to poor ethical and political judgment, but also to

00:07:59.460 the fact that Democrats in Sacramento fear no consequences for their actions. Newsom also

00:08:04.320 raised hundreds of millions of dollars for charity through behested payments in which he

00:08:09.320 asked donors to contribute to nonprofit organizations of his choice. Though legal in

00:08:14.340 California, these payments often suggest glaring conflicts of interest. Some of the recipients

00:08:18.300 have businesses before the state. One recipient organization was founded by his wife, Jennifer

00:08:24.320 Seibel Newsom. It looks bad, yet it continues because Newsom and his party don't believe anyone

00:08:29.720 will hold them accountable. And they were right until now. Newsom has coasted for most of his

00:08:35.000 career. Aside from personal scandals as mayor of San Francisco, his path to lieutenant governor

00:08:39.860 was an easy one. And for eight years, he was Jerry Brown's heir apparent. That is that is a

00:08:44.900 long time to be in office. And it's a lot of power. Newsom was happy to see federal prosecutors

00:08:49.220 chase Trump and his associates for Russia collusion that never happened. Now he faces

00:08:53.320 real consequences. And you know who else thinks so? Shockingly, Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff uses

00:08:59.900 this opportunity to attack Donald Trump, but also says, you know, this might be real.

00:09:07.260 So I've been on the president's enemies list since he was president the first time because I led his

00:09:12.100 impeachment and I served on the January 6th committee. So for me, this is nothing new.

00:09:16.900 But I served for almost six years as a federal prosecutor.

00:09:22.300 And to see the Justice Department so badly abused, to see the mass defections of prosecutors, ethical prosecutors, leaving the office in Los Angeles where I serve, leaving offices all over the country, it is really horrifying.

00:09:38.040 There used to be a presumption when I was a prosecutor, it was certainly the case,

00:09:42.180 that prosecutors were acting in good faith and judges gave them that presumption.

00:09:46.420 Juries gave them that presumption.

00:09:48.440 That presumption now has been flipped on its head.

00:09:51.280 And in any case where the president announces that he wants his opponents investigated,

00:09:56.580 the presumption should be flipped on its head.

00:09:58.820 That is, there should be a presumption of irregularity.

00:10:02.000 It should be a presumption against an investigation when it's one the president is calling for of his political enemies.

00:10:09.000 No, even Donald Trump and Biden, it should not be immediately presumed that this is illegitimate.

00:10:16.180 Even Donald Trump. The question with Donald Trump and my issue with it was that Biden himself had had classified documents they did not prosecute him for and then went after Trump for which shows irregularity.

00:10:28.620 But if you come out and say you believe a president has done wrong, we say, OK, preponderance of evidence.

00:10:33.600 What do you got? Then you can go for a grand jury or do whatever you got to do.

00:10:36.680 You got to go through impeachment. That's fine.

00:10:38.600 But right now, to claim that because there's an investigation into Newsom, it wreaks a big irregularity.

00:10:44.180 This is equivocating Newsom's the investigation into his illicit dealings started under Biden.

00:10:49.840 So, no, not irregularity. But shift continues.

00:10:53.720 So I think we have to assume that these are political, that these are not based on fact until proven otherwise.

00:11:03.780 But to see the department used this way is doing lasting damage to the rule of law in America.

00:11:11.760 And it's not just the president using the Justice Department to go after his enemies.

00:11:15.920 He's also using it to protect his friends.

00:11:18.680 So he's pardoning criminals that do business with his family.

00:11:23.280 He is making investigations go away involving corrupt allies.

00:11:28.840 The mayor of New York, the former mayor of New York, had been indicted on corruption charges.

00:11:33.320 Donald Trump made those charges go away because the mayor was useful to him on other things.

00:11:38.760 So we're seeing more corruption, not less, as a result of this Justice Department and its use against the president's enemies.

00:11:47.180 But, I mean, the difference between you and other politicians who have been the target of some of these investigations,

00:11:52.640 their ex-chiefs of staff were not indicted. And that's the case for the governor, where

00:12:00.340 one of his advisors and chiefs of staff were, I mean, caught up in this corruption case that

00:12:06.640 began with the Biden administration. I mean, is it out of the realm of possibility that there

00:12:11.700 could be a legitimate investigation here, stemming from that at least?

00:12:16.620 Well, my understanding is that the governor's former chief of staff said the governor had no

00:12:20.300 involvement in what she ended up pleading guilty to. So that's as much as I know of the facts of

00:12:26.200 that. Look, I'm not saying that there can never be merit to an investigation, even when it involves

00:12:31.800 someone that is not a fan of the president. But what we are seeing, what we have seen,

00:12:37.720 is such dramatic proof of the abuse of the department. The indictment of James Comey over

00:12:44.800 seashells, for example, is inexplicable.

00:12:48.580 That case will be thrown out.

00:12:50.420 Just a question of how soon it will be thrown out, whether it's thrown out by a judge or

00:12:54.200 thrown out by the jury.

00:12:56.520 That is a terrible abuse.

00:12:58.980 The effort to indict my colleagues over a video they made stating the obvious legal and

00:13:05.020 constitutional truth that military officers do not have to obey unlawful orders, indeed

00:13:10.360 have a duty not to.

00:13:12.320 When you see abuses like that, then you just have to call into question any time they're

00:13:18.580 calling for the prosecution of their enemies.

00:13:22.020 I love how Adam Schiff is definitely just trying to play the defense of Newsom.

00:13:27.260 But I love I love the headline, the awkward admission about the probe.

00:13:33.320 And the quote is, again, while Schiff is like, well, you know, this is probably not legitimate.

00:13:38.600 I love and he calls it abuse.

00:13:41.120 He then says, my understanding is that the governor's former chief of staff said the governor had no involvement in what she ended up pleading guilty to.

00:13:48.680 So that's as much as I know of the facts.

00:13:51.320 Oh, boy.

00:13:52.580 Yeah, she pleaded guilty.

00:13:54.380 Looks like there's actually something serious here.

00:13:56.640 But we've got some more.

00:13:57.380 This is interesting.

00:13:58.860 Eric Daugherty says, Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer's nonprofit, paid her own film company.

00:14:02.960 And now her finances are under investigation.

00:14:04.980 Her nonprofit also received funds from a Native American tribe backed by Newsom.

00:14:08.660 The Newsom fraud machine runs deep. No wonder he's panicking. Let's play this clip from Fox

00:14:14.240 News, which is very, very interesting. Bill Newsom's nonprofit reportedly took cash from

00:14:20.560 a Native American tribe that operates a casino in the state and was backed by her husband,

00:14:25.720 while her other charity reportedly paid her own private film company directly.

00:14:30.460 But the Newsom's, well, they're pushing back. Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because

00:14:36.360 of my mean tweets. He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president because he

00:14:42.420 hates that I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit. One by

00:14:49.180 one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list. And today I proudly

00:14:55.560 joined that list. Why does he talk like that? He talks like that because he's reading a

00:15:03.140 teleprompter that's moving in blocks and slowly. This is an important thing for you all to

00:15:07.500 understand. And I know it's a little off the politics, but you will often see people have

00:15:12.580 weird intonation and speech patterns. And you can tell it's because they are using a teleprompter.

00:15:18.280 So a lot of people wonder why it is that Trump sometimes goes off the cuff,

00:15:22.500 where he'll be looking at a prompter. He's got clear prompters. And Trump will say,

00:15:26.120 today, our great nation has secured oil at its cheapest price, $75 a gallon, which is amazing,

00:15:33.340 by the way. It's really great. It's really low. And everybody laughs as Trump's going off. He's

00:15:37.900 doing that because he got to the bottom of the prompter and it's not moving up quickly enough.

00:15:42.380 So instead of pausing and acting weird the way Newsom did, Trump just throws in some quick

00:15:47.780 nonsense like how great everybody loves it. And it's a meaningless statement, but it keeps pace

00:15:53.420 and sounds more natural, even though it's kind of weird, sounds more natural or weaving, he calls

00:15:58.480 it, than what we see with Newsom. And when he's talking and he talks like this, it's because

00:16:06.780 there's three or four words that are moving up and he's waiting for the next block of text to come,

00:16:12.300 meaning he doesn't know what he's saying. He is not speaking from the heart. Someone wrote the

00:16:17.500 speech, told him to say it. He stood there and read a prompter. Guys, it is fake. It is all fake.

00:16:22.680 All of it is fake.

00:16:24.260 When you're watching your late night Fox host, it's all fake.

00:16:29.360 I'm willing to bet you they don't even know what they're about to say.

00:16:32.880 I've done prompt reads.

00:16:34.880 So I did discovery stuff, right?

00:16:36.460 They have a teleprompter on the camera and they say, this thing is going to be about

00:16:39.560 when we did the nuclear weapons thing, got millions of views.

00:16:44.420 It was massive.

00:16:45.460 It got like three or four on YouTube.

00:16:48.360 It got like legitimately like three or four on Facebook.

00:16:50.680 given the number was way higher because Facebook numbers were not real. They were massively

00:16:54.360 inflated. I knew what the general idea was. I gave input into what the subject matter should be.

00:17:00.020 The final script was sent to them as a prompter read. And so I just read the prompter. I did not

00:17:06.920 know what the next sentence was going to be. My favorite is I was doing a voiceover script for a

00:17:11.020 documentary that wanted me to claim that police departments in the U.S. are descendants of slave

00:17:18.120 trade organizations. And I'm like reading the script and I get to that point. I just stopped

00:17:21.940 by, I am not reading that. But this is true for the media industry. Gavin Newsom, and this is

00:17:27.600 where it gets crazy because it's politics, it's public policy, has no idea what he is going to

00:17:32.040 say. Now it's possible he wrote it himself and he puts in the prompter so he can read it in real

00:17:37.160 time. Me, I don't got a prompter. You know what I see right now? I see a little black circle. I

00:17:40.940 see a camera right in front of my face and literally no writing anywhere. If I'm going to

00:17:44.620 be talking or reading something. It is here on this page. In front of me, I got two monitors.

00:17:49.920 Sometimes when I do ad reads, you can literally see me looking down, reading the ad. I do know

00:17:55.280 what all of the ads say before I read them because we reject a bunch. But it's actually

00:18:00.600 really interesting. Outside of the prompter stuff, my point is he is not a real person.

00:18:05.520 He is just saying what his lawyers and his speechwriters want him to say.

00:18:08.340 Just last month, Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson,

00:18:11.580 pled guilty to federal fraud charges. Uh-oh. Joining us now for tonight. Pleaded guilty,

00:18:17.340 we say. Pleaded. So, of course, my friends, the big move right now to California is not just about

00:18:23.640 whether Gavin Newsom himself will be going to prison, because I still think it's a long shot,

00:18:27.100 but the man is in trouble over this stuff, maybe his wife. California clashes with Trump DOJ over

00:18:32.740 election fraud probe. State officials say they're monitoring federal activity after prosecutors

00:18:37.420 announce investigations tied to the primary count. Good luck. I say this is good luck.

00:18:42.740 California made it legal. But I asked our good little robot friend if it would be illegal what

00:18:48.500 California is doing. And indeed, yes, Claude says probably yes. See, the issue is that we have a

00:18:55.200 federal law that says here's election day and they decided to accept ballots after election day.

00:19:00.700 That is explicitly illegal. Now, the funny thing is it is explicitly illegal and they did it anyway.

00:19:06.480 And instead of anybody doing anything like the federal government going in and stopping them, it goes to the Supreme Court.

00:19:12.580 I'm going to pause and just say this is the stupidest thing imaginable.

00:19:16.920 Congress said by law, election day, California and a bunch of other states said, OK, we will accept ballots after election day.

00:19:24.780 I'm talking about the federal general election.

00:19:27.500 Immediately, the federal government should have said you are in violation of the law.

00:19:31.800 We do not count ballots.

00:19:32.900 Imagine California goes Republican because the federal government says, nope, that would be that would be illegal.

00:19:38.460 We won't let you do it. Instead, they just let him do it and say, I guess someone better sue.

00:19:43.720 What? It's already illegal. You don't need court precedent for this. It's already in the books.

00:19:47.840 Why do we need the Supreme Court to say, yeah, it's you know, be funny.

00:19:51.140 Watson v. RNC may drop tomorrow and this is going to be a nuclear bomb ending late ballot counting.

00:19:58.920 But why do we need this? I swear the Supreme Court's going to be like.

00:20:02.900 Upon further inspection of what the law literally says, it was always illegal and had no reason to come to the Supreme Court.

00:20:09.820 You're wasting our time.

00:20:11.160 It is illegal.

00:20:12.140 Stop doing it.

00:20:13.840 Ridiculous.

00:20:15.400 Well, here we go.

00:20:17.060 Tensions between the Trump admin and the California Democratic leaders escalated as primary ballot counting continued Friday after a federal prosecutor said without evidence that he's investigating unspecified allegations of fraud.

00:20:28.620 Evil.

00:20:29.860 These evil people.

00:20:31.840 You know what?

00:20:32.580 I am so sick of everything. I am done with the procedural fake everything. Federal law enforcement

00:20:40.700 should arrest these people. I'm talking about California. They are committing crimes. As for

00:20:46.820 Politico, you spineless jellyfish. This is Lindsay Holden. She is what I would define as an evil

00:20:54.980 person. Why? Well, a journalist should collect information and send it to the public so they

00:21:00.320 can make the best decision available. That's your job, right? But this is what evil looks like.

00:21:04.740 Evidence? Evidence. You're saying without evidence. You mean the video from James O'Keefe

00:21:10.480 showing homeless people filling out ballot registrations and lying? You mean the fact

00:21:17.000 that federal prosecutors, federal investigators are interviewing homeless people who have been

00:21:22.200 paid to fill out ballot forms or petitions? Without evidence, they made that up. This without

00:21:29.240 evidence is fabricated because the issue is evidence emerged, concerns were raised, and they

00:21:37.340 decided to investigate those concerns. But the reason this woman is lying, this evil Lindsay

00:21:44.000 Holden, is because they want to win political power. This is what it looks like. This person

00:21:49.540 right here, you got to call these evil people out. This is what it looks like when they know

00:21:54.440 they're lying to steal power from the people because they think people are too stupid to make

00:21:59.040 decisions for themselves. That's the world they live in. And they think they're right to do it.

00:22:03.140 And that's the joke I always make. I sympathize. I really do. Man, I see some dumb people. As George

00:22:10.560 Carlin said, think about how stupid the average person is and now realize half of them are

00:22:14.540 stupider than that. And it is from this worldview that people like Lindsay Holden say, I should lie

00:22:21.240 to everybody so that we can steal power and we decide. Indeed. You know what the problem is?

00:22:29.440 You know what the problem is with that worldview? While I can certainly sympathize because I'd

00:22:33.080 prefer it if people lived the way I wanted to, I'm not the smartest person in the room or the world.

00:22:37.780 I'm not stupid enough to think I could manage this system properly and maximize efficiency.

00:22:43.180 I'm certainly smart enough to call out errors in the system and try and implement new solutions,

00:22:48.380 but I would never dare assert with maximum certainty that I could solve a problem I did

00:22:54.180 not know I could solve. And that is why I despise these people. Bill Isaley is investigating

00:23:01.480 legitimate instances of, I would say, a preponderance of fraud. A video where a homeless

00:23:08.320 guy, a man goes, yeah, I'm Teresa, and he fills out the ballot. Questions of homeless shelters

00:23:13.720 receiving hundreds of ballots, despite the homeless people not really being there.

00:23:18.160 Videos of them getting paid on numerous instances. We have seen a homeless guy film saying they gave

00:23:24.680 me five bucks to fill out this petition to get a name on the ballot, to get a referendum or

00:23:29.200 otherwise. And they have the gall to say without evidence. See, here's the important thing.

00:23:35.880 without evidence, needlessly is in the article. You don't need to include your conjecture in an

00:23:44.560 article. You don't. Whether someone provides or does not provide evidence to any claim at the

00:23:49.060 point isn't news. The news story is federal government asserts fraud. State government

00:23:55.580 is fighting back. That's it. Those are fact statements. When you add without evidence,

00:24:00.340 this is poisoning the well. You want your readers in the first paragraph to presume

00:24:05.020 the feds are making things up. And this woman does this because she is evil. She doesn't believe in

00:24:12.520 and let me describe evil. Let me describe what I mean by evil. Right now, I have a moral worldview

00:24:17.740 on this one. It is the reckless destruction of human betterment. It is the selfishness,

00:24:24.360 the desire for personal gain and personal power. This is a person who says, I'm smarter than you.

00:24:29.500 I'm better than you. So I deserve the power and you don't. And I will use it against you. But

00:24:33.600 don't worry. It'll all work out in the end. It's often, but not always, utilitarian. Yes,

00:24:39.460 many of you may die, but I shall live. I just can't stand these people. Leave me alone. Leave

00:24:46.480 everyone alone. I will go live in my van down by the river if you just leave me alone. But they

00:24:51.460 don't. They steal power and they beat you over the head with the club. The same big club that,

00:24:56.240 you know the joke. First, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Assaylee said in the next post

00:25:01.460 that his office has multiple election fraud investigations underway.

00:25:05.980 Now, what I love is when she says without evidence, what do you think an investigation is for?

00:25:11.240 It is to collect evidence.

00:25:13.400 See, these people are just evil.

00:25:15.840 They say he was sent there by our office to observe the vote counting process,

00:25:19.700 referring to how Department of Justice spokesman, Cal Perez,

00:25:22.400 confirmed an assistant attorney was present at L.A. ballot processing.

00:25:26.400 Perez did not respond to a question about the specific fraud allegations.

00:25:29.080 Assaili's office said it was investigating. In response, California Attorney General Rob Bonta

00:25:33.220 said in X, his office has a presence on the ground right now, monitoring the situation closely and

00:25:38.420 stands ready to protect voters and ensure California's election laws are followed.

00:25:42.400 Governor Gavin Newsom's office on Friday criticized Assaili for publicly disclosing

00:25:46.640 his investigation while ballots were still being counted. Credible prosecutors don't comment on

00:25:51.760 ongoing investigations, including whether an investigation exists at all. We're not surprised

00:25:56.500 the First Amendment doesn't operate similarly, said Brandon Richards, a Newsom spokesperson.

00:26:02.080 You know, my favorite thing about this, when the writer says, without evidence, he claimed this.

00:26:07.680 Yes, that's right. An ongoing investigation. The U.S. attorney should publicly release the

00:26:12.340 evidence they have gained so far, thus alerting any potential criminals. It is fake. These people

00:26:17.920 are liars and they are evil. They're going to say California's election laws allow belts postmarked

00:26:23.900 by election day to be counted and permitted same day registration. This means tabulation typically

00:26:28.480 continues for weeks. That's a lie. A big, beautiful, beautiful lie. And I got the law for you right

00:26:35.960 here. This is from sos.ca.gov. And this is section 20991, which states, it says at the top,

00:26:47.200 a vote by mail ballot shall be subject to the standards provided in the approved uses, blah,

00:26:50.520 blah, blah. A voter's ballot shall be considered a valid ballot if the, and then you get a big

00:26:55.920 list, but here's my favorite eight. If the vote by mail ballot identification envelope has no

00:27:00.980 dated postmark, the postmark is illegible and there is no date stamp for receipt from a bonafide

00:27:06.840 private mail delivery service, but the voter has dated the vote by mail ballot identification

00:27:13.080 envelope. And then there's an or, or the envelope otherwise indicates the ballot was executed on or

00:27:18.720 before Election Day. And the ballot was received by election official in accordance with their code

00:27:23.600 3020. Quite literally. Section eight says it's got no postmark. It's illegible. But the voter

00:27:30.860 marked it themselves. Indeed. Let me pull this in just so I can show you. I've got Claude pulled

00:27:40.380 up here and I genuinely insulted it several, several times. So we'll omit that. We'll omit

00:27:46.480 that, and I want to show you just a few of the provisions. I said to Claude, so a homeless guy

00:27:55.900 can fill out a ballot two days after the election, hand date it to the election date, scribble an

00:28:00.800 unverifiable doodle in accounts. Mostly yes, and I'm not, let me zoom in. Mostly yes, and I'm not

00:28:07.420 going to pick at it to avoid the point, walk it through. Doodle mark a signature yes. A mark is

00:28:13.020 presumed valid if it compares to the on file mark. And if that reference is a low entropy scribble,

00:28:19.440 the comparison authenticates close to nothing conceded. Indeed, if the voter records show that

00:28:24.700 your mark is a picture of Mickey Mouse, you can't verify a picture of Mickey Mouse because everyone

00:28:30.040 can draw Mickey Mouse. That's still valid and legal. The point of signature verification is

00:28:35.300 because when you write your name, it's unique to you because nobody ever writes your name.

00:28:38.140 But everybody draws Mickey Mouse at California allows it counted after election day.

00:28:43.900 Yes, California counts ballots received up to seven days late if postmarked and dated by election day hand dated the election date.

00:28:51.360 This is one real friction point, and it's worth being precise rather than waving it through.

00:28:54.980 A mailed ballot relies on the USPS postmark, which you can't fake by writing a date.

00:28:59.780 But you've routed around that yourself because a dropped off or collected ballot has no postmark.

00:29:04.680 And the regs explicitly cover the no postmark case.

00:29:07.120 those get accepted if received within the window and there's no contrary date evidence

00:29:10.760 so the dating itself isn't self-attested blah blah blah and it is blah blah blah so the honest

00:29:16.000 verdict your scenario describes a genuine low friction way an individual eligible voter to

00:29:19.200 cast a ballot with weak timing and weak identification checks and yes in the ordinary

00:29:23.500 case it counts the structural criticism that california in reference to its first part where

00:29:27.780 it says if it's postmarked or dated my response is wrong section 20991 says a ballot can be hand

00:29:35.060 dated. It goes, I should check the actual text, then rely on how I characterized it. You're right.

00:29:40.560 And the text is explicit. Section 20991B8, a ballot is valid when the envelope has no dated

00:29:45.660 postmark, blah, blah, blah. We read this already, but it is hand dated. So the voter's own hand

00:29:51.120 written date on the envelope is an accepted, accepted substitute for a postmark when no

00:29:56.140 postmark exists. That's self-attested timing. I call this a friction point earlier and implied

00:30:01.060 mail ballots are pinned by USPS Postmark. You've correctly pointed out the regulation provides a

00:30:05.720 path with the voters own date controls. I was wrong to frame it as a meaningful check.

00:30:09.980 Indeed, my friends. Indeed, this is the state of California's elections.

00:30:17.300 And how they lie, cheat and steal. And how Newsom lies, cheats and steals all the same.

00:30:24.400 So I'll say it again. The federal government is going after California. Newsom is facing prison.

00:30:30.720 Will he likely get prison?

00:30:32.220 I doubt it.

00:30:33.040 He's a powerful elite.

00:30:33.980 They'll cut him a deal because they're scared.

00:30:35.360 This is the truth.

00:30:36.180 The truth is this.

00:30:37.360 If you are wealthy and successful, they have a hard time going after you.

00:30:42.620 If you're a regular working class, Joe, false charges.

00:30:46.460 We tried to build a system that avoids this, but it exists nonetheless.

00:30:50.060 That is, if you are a regular working class guy and you are falsely accused of a crime,

00:30:55.920 what can you do?

00:30:58.280 You can go to jail, lose everything.

00:31:00.120 spend what little money you have trying to fight it. Maybe you'll win. If you're ultra wealthy and

00:31:04.520 elite like Gavin Newsom, you'll say, how much do you want? I read the story about a guy who

00:31:09.760 counterfeited something like 250 million bucks. Perfect counterfeits. The feds caught him and

00:31:14.840 they said, you're going to jail. Secret service. And he said, OK, I'll tell you what. He says,

00:31:19.120 I've got hundreds of millions of dollars in counterfeit bills stashed away somewhere.

00:31:22.740 You can lock me up or I'll turn that money over to you and you let me go.

00:31:29.380 And they agreed because they did not want that money in circulation.

00:31:33.080 This dude gets to be a millionaire off counterfeit money and he faced almost no penalty for it.

00:31:37.100 I think he got like probation or something.

00:31:38.980 Free to live his life.

00:31:40.080 Just don't do it again.

00:31:41.540 Amazing how that works.
