And so we then have George Gascogne, who received $2 million from George Soros. That was enough. For a DA race, that actually was an extraordinary amount of money. It's interesting because Soros played money ball with these DA races all over the country because he realized that
The district attorneys have enormous power because they can set policy about what crimes are going to be prosecuted, which are not. Some of these other directives that I mentioned earlier about cash bail and so forth. Although George Soros is actively, excuse me, George Gaston is actively in violation of state law and just operates, you know, nonetheless.
But Soros understood that with a few million bucks, you could change a DA race. Why would you want to?
Soros DAs have jurisdiction over like 75 million Americans, right? Like, it's crazy.
I talked to a lot of people about this, and... You know, initially, again, I didn't want to even go down the Soros, you know, rabbit hole because I- Oh, you're not allowed. You're not allowed, but also, like, it's cliche at this point. It is.
I agree. But the fact is that it's real. It's real. And it begs the question of why. Is it simply he is an anarchist? Is he a financial terrorist? I would say yes. But what is the motivation? I think, again, I do not believe a world-class arbitrageur, trader ever kind of leaves that mindset. It's always money that motivates people.
So I think it is, you know, again, this is entirely speculation, but I would be very interested to see what is the portfolio of the family office of George Soros. Is it real estate? Because certainly the crimes surge in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have depressed real estate in these downtown districts by 25% at least. And insurance premiums have gone way up. So...
is there a is there a trade there maybe i don't know but as i said um there's a you know there's people that i i trust and who would be in a position to know that indicate that there is potentially other motivating factors at least with respect to soros so that being said you know it's just crazy how little defense the united states has
A normal society... would have – and given the kind of violent criminals that are endemic in California and that run prisons and commit murders in prison, literally, against guards even, a normal prison, I think, would have capital punishment applied to these prisoners forever. you know, in the prison yard, hangings, right?
Something, whatever it takes to bring fear of the law and of the state to those who fear only the justice of the Mexican mafia. That is who they fear when they go to prison. It's not the state. It's a joke.
Well, in effect, yeah. It's the final word. If it is actually, yeah, yeah, they are the final arbiters. Yeah. They are the final arbiters.
Yeah, they are. um so i'm sorry i keep interrupting you just because it's that's an emotional subject i think it's really important it's really it's really really upsetting we used to live there yeah yeah it's deeply upsetting to see your home vandalized and you know just literally my home but just my my hometown yep
The decisions, the locus of power in California centers around a very elite and small milieu in San Francisco, largely around an area called Pacific Heights. That's where I'm from. Oh, nice. Yeah. Oh, that's so funny. Pacific Heights is the center of evil, huh? Pretty neighborhood, though. Well, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
It used to be, you know, like much of California. But in any event, the oligarchy that has been... really in place for almost 100 years, starting with the Geddes' involvement with the Newsom family and the Newsom's family involvement with Jerry Brown goes back to the 1940s and 50s. And the scions of each of these dynasties all, you know, intermarried. They were into business together.
Gavin Newsom's first, you know, big kind of You know, entrance into the scene was forming a restaurant group called Plump Jack, which was seeded by the Getty family and was also co-founded with Billy Getty, who is the son of Gordon Getty, who is the son of J. Paul Getty. And the Eddies have funded Gavin's entire political career, and they've made that possible.
And the winery and restaurant group, the success of that became a launching board into San Francisco city politics. I think he was on the board of supervisors and then became mayor. But always there was this commonality and nexus between Pelosi's family, Pelosi's husband, the Gettys, the Browns, and the Newsoms. So they're the old money elite that have been running the state for months.
You know, on or off since the 1940s. I mean, of course, there have been Republican governors here and there. It used to be, as we've talked about, like a sort of moderate state. You know, sometimes you voted for Democrats, sometimes for Republicans. Usually you voted for Republican candidates, presidential candidates. The last one was George H.W. Bush.
But, you know, the accumulation of power amongst this circle really took hold after these changes that we've talked about in Southern California, the deindustrialization of Southern California, the exodus of at least 6 million middle-class Californians in the last decade. And the aerospace and defense leaving Southern California.
So LA then became a Democrat stronghold when it was once a Republican stronghold. And power shifted to San Francisco. And the other reason power shifted to San Francisco is because of the presence of technology. Big tech.
Big tech is the new money and the new money interweaves with the old money through VC investments and private placements and other sorts of, you know, it's kind of social circles and Bohemian Grove, like you name it. And so we then have a power structure of an industry that is made up of very few people, a lot of foreigners, by the way, of course, and these kind of dynastic...
