What events led Jillian Michaels to criticize Gavin Newsom?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:02
All right. First, Jillian Michaels. But after Jillian, I've got Elaine Kulati coming back in here. She's a star of Undercover Billionaire, and she's got some interesting project going on with mayors in California. She's got a lot to say about what is going on in California, as does Jillian Michaels. And while I always feel like Jillian does not lead any introduction... I will. She's an entrepreneur, media personality, fitness expert, and she is part of my friend group in Actual Friends that she and I and Sage Steele and Dave Rubin do together. I think it comes out every Thursday. I have to check with Jillian on that. It might come out on Friday. And she is on fire lately. She has authored eight New York Times bestselling books, CEO of Empowered Media LLC.

Our laws as it pertains to substances are draconian and bizarre. The psychopaths start this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help.

How do Spencer Pratt and Trisha Paytas plan to address California's issues?

Elaine Culotti 2:31
I'm sorry, Doug. I tried to pull myself together quick for you. But you do, you sound like crap. I'm so...
Dr. Drew Pinsky 2:37
Thank you. I'm so sorry. Thank you. I'll be praying for you. The thing about being as well-known as you are, every version of you is still Jillian Michaels. You know what I mean? So you don't have to worry about perfect hair. No, it's Jillian Michaels. That's who we want to hear from.
Unknown 2:56
I appreciate that because it's far from perfect today. That's good.

What role do celebrities play in California's political landscape?

Unknown 3:01
This is what happens when you're amongst friends. You can show up for their show being totally disheveled.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:06
It's all good. So here's something I didn't realize about you. And I'm always learning more about you these days. But that you were an early, I don't want to say adopter necessarily, but you were early on to the Newsom incompetencies and the fact that fires could easily consume your home. Tell us what happened to you.
Elaine Culotti 3:33
Gosh, okay. I guess I woke up, you're absolutely right, in 2018 when my house burned in the Woolsey fire. And I'll put this out there. We were well insured at the time, exceptionally lucky, lost no one, not one animal, nothing. We lived on a farm. So when I say not one animal, there were quite a few animals. Having said that, What happened after is what woke me up to what I would literally call the corruption created by Gavin Newsom.

What insights does Elaine Culotti provide about local governance?

Elaine Culotti 4:11
And the bottom line is that red tape was weaponized against homeowners so that you couldn't rebuild and you would have to tap out. And after a year... of trying to get a permit just to clean up the property. If you have a mortgage, you're paying your mortgage, your insurance eventually runs out on temporary housing. I was a year into it and I didn't even have a permit to clean up the property. So long story short, myself and many other residents tapped out and you sell the property.
