So we know you had a gun on you. He said, don't thank me because if my wife and kid had not been in the backseat of the car, it was a stoplight arrest. He said, I was totally planning on opening fire and murdering you because I'm not going back to jail.

This guy was ultimately only sentenced for two counts of these types of crimes in Ventura County, which takes property crime and crime in general a little bit more seriously, but not a lot. He ended up getting a two year sentence, which he'll serve, I'm sure, much less than that, probably a year and a half. and a $300 fine.

Now, if you or I don't pay our taxes, we're going to go to jail for a lot longer than two years. So what has happened that our justice system has now prioritized the rights of criminals above victims, of course, but society in general. And when I learned all these facts and was trying to understand just as a citizen of California, how this could have happened, I began an investigation.

And one of the prosecutors I talked to in my initial research, who's a veteran deputy DA, I told her my story and she said, well, what's so remarkable about your story is how relatable it is. And I was kind of taken aback by that. Because how could it be relatable that an MS-13 gang member could home invade your house while you're asleep, two nights in a row.

And he's an illegal alien, a dreamer, by the way. And he gets a two year sentence and is gonna be out in the last event. And that's now become relatable and the standard of justice in California. When that happens, what I determined ultimately, and this was substantiated by significant research into plenty of other examples of this types of occurrence, is that in California,

The state has effectively surrendered on its fundamental duty to protect citizens. That's the number one job of government. In fact, it's the entire basis of what we call the social contract. The idea that you surrender, pay taxes, surrender liberties, autonomy in exchange for protection by the government, which is supposed to have monopoly on violence.

And at the very least, there has to be an assurance of justice. That is gone in California. So in my opinion, the government of California really does not have any legitimacy, and certainly Gavin Newsom.

It's really interesting you should phrase it that way, Dr. Drew, because in my book, I actually have an entire chapter dedicated to the legislative history of what I believe is really the core of our problems. And I call it statutory negligence. And the idea is that the laws put in place by the legislature, but also through ballot initiatives, are so reckless, so foreseeably dangerous.

Now, it's really interesting you should bring up 1789. So I call my book A Portrait of California in the Twilight of Empire, and that has several different connotations. One, of course, is that California is the fifth biggest economy in the world, almost a country unto itself. I would say an empire, and it is in its twilight. When I wrote the book,
