About this episode

The episode discusses various controversies surrounding California's government, including investigations into Gavin Newsom and the FBI's actions in Skid Row.

California's government keeps appointing itself the referee—of the truth, your ballot, and your speech. This week: Gavin Newsom's $5.5 million in "behested" donations, a second ethics fine, and the federal probe he'd rather you saw as persecution. The $40 million the state is spending to count votes faster—while the FBI works Skid Row over paid ballots. And AG Rob Bonta's $20 million bid to silence two pro-life nonprofits with zero victims. Plus the 18 new laws that just hit July 1, and the Six-Shooter.
