1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.599
So Gavin Newsom insider within his administration or wire, got
2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.080
some dirt, helped to get three people convicted. But I
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.839
actually don't even care so much about the ties to
4
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.800
Newsom or his office. I'm more concerned about the ties
5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.160
to Javier Bisera, the front runner in the gubernatorial race
6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.079
in Commifornia. As much as I would love for us
7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.480
to be able to nail Newsom at some point, we
8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.640
can have a couple of years for him, Bisarah, we
9
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.159
need to get nailed before the November election because I
10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.880
do not want him to be governor. So if we
11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.079
can use this information to tie it to Bessera, seems
12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.119
pretty straightforward, pretty logical that we could. Well, maybe we
13
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
can do some real good and then we'll go after
14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.159
Gavin Newsom before his twenty twenty eight presidential run. We
15
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.039
have the story over at Conservative playlist dot com. Javier
16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.560
Bessera's campaign tangled in ethics probe tied to Newsom's insider
17
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.480
FBI wire Juicy California's political establishment learned this week that
18
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.799
the FBI didn't merely investigate Gavin Newsom's inner circle from
19
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.319
the outside, It recruited from within. According to an exclusive
20
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.400
report in the New York Post. Democratic power broker Alexis Podesta,
21
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.200
not related to John secretly recorded conversations for federal investigators
22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.920
as far back as June twenty twenty four, which is important.
23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.159
It's important to note because you got Gavin Newsom and
24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.799
Javier Massarra out there. Oh, this is the Trump administration.
25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.480
This is Trump trying to use the Department of Justice
26
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.760
against no this started under Biden. So when you hear
27
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.959
those claims, know they're gas lighting. They are lying to you.
28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.879
President Trump was not the President of the United States
29
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.120
in June twenty twenty four. In his Department of Justice
30
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.079
was not in power. There were gathering evidence in the
31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.319
corruption probe that brought down Dana Williamson, the governor's former
32
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.920
chief of staff. All important, but again let's get to
33
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.000
the juicier stuff.
34
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.120
That the.
35
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.079
Revelation matters for reasons that go well beyond Newsom's Bruce pride.
36
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.000
It explains why Sacramento insiders and lobbyists received startling FBI
37
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.599
letters last fall informing them their calls had been intercepted.
38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.879
Many despite having no connection to Williamson at all, they knew,
39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.120
based upon everything they were hearing, that this was an investigation.
40
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.560
They figured that out. Newsom knew it, Javier Bessera knew it,
41
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.879
and they still pushed forward hoping, I guess against hope
42
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.520
that they could get him into office prior to any
43
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.879
of this stuff coming out. Well, it hasn't come out
44
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.479
all the way yet, but as we noted, it does
45
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.199
land squarely on Bisserah, the former attorney general and Biden
46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.599
HHS secretary who now leads the field to succeed Newsom.
47
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.599
The money at the center of this entire scheme float
48
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.800
out of accounts bearing his name. Yes, they were, They
49
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.680
were taking his dormant, dormant campaign accounts. That's a big
50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.000
hue fat and no no, it brought three guilty pleas
51
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.919
the underlying fraud is no longer alleged. It is admitted.
52
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.439
Federal prosecutors charged that roughly two hundred and twenty five
53
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.680
thousand dollars was ciphering from Bessara's dormant campaign account and
54
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.120
disguised as consulting fees to pad the income of Sean McCluskey,
55
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.159
who was Bessair's longtime chief of staff. After McCluskey took
56
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.840
a pay cut to follow his boss to Washington, now
57
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.759
Steve Hilton, the Republican running in California, the only man
58
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.680
that can't stop Bessarah, has alleged multiple times, and there
59
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.520
are legs to these allegations. He has alleged that this
60
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.479
was padding, basically padding money to keep McCluskey on board.
61
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.479
Bissarah won a McCluskey in DC with him when he
62
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.000
moved over to become the HHS secretary. Unfortunately, McCluskey said,
63
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.400
it's not enough money. I have to take a pay
64
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.159
cut to come work there because there are apps federal
65
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.919
caps on how much he can make. He's like, I
66
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.080
just can't do it if that's all the money. So
67
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.039
they cooked up a scheme, again alleged by Steve Hilton,
68
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.080
they cooked up a scheme to siphon dormant money from
69
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.319
the campaign into consulting fees that could be used to
70
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:19.000
pay McCluskey. The That was the intention. It's like, okay,
71
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.560
well let's let's basically let's cover the gap. It's necessary
72
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.439
so you can stay with us. We'll cover the gap
73
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.879
by feeding you some extra money on the side. Huge, huge,
74
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.439
federal no. No.
75
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:31.560
Now.
76
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.040
I hope and pray that the Trump DOJ is not
77
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.879
letting California run this investigation alone. This needs to be
78
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.279
be run from the federal level. It needs to be
79
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.319
addressed directly, and it needs to happen before the November election.
80
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.439
I mean, here's the thing. If this is not based
81
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.000
upon everything that we know publicly, and I'm sure they
82
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.560
know a lot more privately and in secret, if they
83
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:09.160
let this slide, I would have a whole lot of questions.
84
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.399
All three charged of defendants have pleaded guilty. McCluskey admitted
85
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.800
to conspiracy and agreed to repay the full two hundred
86
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.959
and twenty five thousand dollars. Lobbyist Greg Campbell acknowledged in
87
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.160
his plead documents that the group's financial maneuvers amounted to
88
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:30.000
laundering money. Okay, FBI, where are you? And Williamson, Once
89
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.720
Newsom's feared enforcer, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to
90
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.600
commit bank and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return,
91
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.920
and lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Podesta enters
92
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.160
the story as Williamsons chose the successor. This is the
93
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.879
person Alexis Podesta who wore the wire on behalf of
94
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.079
the investigators. When Williamson left private consulting to run Newsom's office.
95
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.720
In late twenty twenty two, she handed her client portfolio,
96
00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.839
including the Bessera account, to Podesta. Campaign finance records reviewed
97
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.879
by cal Matters show the Adornment Bessarah committee paid Podesta
98
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.240
Company a total of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars,
99
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.439
mostly in tidy ten thousand dollars monthly installments through twenty
100
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.439
twenty three and twenty twenty four, right around the time
101
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.279
when Bessara was needing the money to pay off his
102
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:22.879
his chosen chief of staff. All seems seems mighty convenient.
103
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.319
Jump ahead to Bessara's story, where we start to see
104
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.839
the contradictions. Bissarah insists he knew nothing of the fraud,
105
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.560
and the indictment does not accuse him of wrongdoing. Very clear,
106
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.600
he's not currently indicted yet his own explanation has wobbled.
107
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.600
Days after the indictment broke, he told Fox forty he
108
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
was aware of and had authorized the payments, describing the
109
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.680
change the charges as a gut punch. Oh, I knew
110
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.800
I signed off on a bit, but you know, I
111
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.160
didn't know it was being used for bad stuff. But
112
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.160
then months later, he told CNN and the McClatchy editorial
113
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.720
Board that the payments occurred outside of his vision, so
114
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.519
he knew about it before, but then all of a
115
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.720
sudden later, he didn't know about it at all. Both
116
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.439
things cannot be true, and voters are entitled to ask
117
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.600
which version they're being sold. The former attorney general of
118
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.000
the largest state in the Union either supervised six figures
119
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.680
in outflows from his own committees, or he did not
120
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.319
and was completely unaware. Either way, it sucks. And here's
121
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.839
the thing. You know, I'm not even so concerned. I'm
122
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.040
sure it'd be nice to get justice. But look, I
123
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.319
think many, if not most of not all of us
124
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.800
are are pretty pretty down on the hopes or possibility
125
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.279
that the whole people are going to get arrested any moment.
126
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.040
You know, Gavin News was going to get arrested, Steve,
127
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.199
but Sarah's going to get arrested. All the people in
128
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.759
the Epstein lists are going to get arrested, all the
129
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.839
people that participate in Russia Gate. Look, okay, fine, we've
130
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.240
been burnt too many times. I don't care why I care,
131
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.639
but I'm not expecting arrests. But by golly, get the
132
00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:01.720
information out there. Okay, either Besarah engaged in, participated in,
133
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:06.199
and was aware of illegal activities happening with his campaign
134
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.600
funds for his chief of staff, or he had no idea.
135
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.399
He's just just an idiot. Okay, I don't know what's
136
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.360
happening with my chief of staff, my campaign funds, my people,
137
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.800
I do. Everybody's just just taking advantage of poor Stupidjlvi Erbassara.
138
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.600
Either way, if he's either involved in the crime or
139
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.759
unaware of the crime, that should be disqualifying. He wants
140
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.440
to run California, and if he does get to run California,
141
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:35.919
he will run it to the ground. So it is
142
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.039
in our best interest for this information to get out
143
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.000
as quickly as possible. I don't want this to linger.
144
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.679
I mean, Steve Hilton's doing everything he can to get
145
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.679
the information out there, but Legacy media is not doing
146
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.519
much about this. They're just like, oh, it's poor Kavin
147
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.159
Newsom's getting targeted by Trump. That's their story. That's his story,
148
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.440
and he's fed it to them and now that's their story.
149
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.440
So it's up to us to spread the truth, just
150
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.039
like we do right here on this article. Over at
151
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.440
Conservative playlist dot Com.
152
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.759
They've doubled the budget of California in the last ten years,
153
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.320
and everything's worse. The idea that you can't reduce spending,
154
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.080
which is essential if you're going to cut taxes, is ridiculous.
155
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.519
I was talking to someone who runs a contracting company
156
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.879
building roads, right They build roads all across the country.
157
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.360
She told me that it costs four times as much
158
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.320
to build the exact same piece of road in California
159
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.440
as intense because of the regulatory because of the regulatory framework,
160
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.159
the project labor agreements that unions negotiape that massively inflate
161
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.480
the construction costs, environment a sequel, the permitting process, California
162
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.279
Environmental Quality Act, lawsuit risk that's priced into everything. I
163
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.279
was just on and on just the bloat in the government.
164
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.399
We calculated that if you just that the cost the
165
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.600
annual a regulatory bloat in California seven hundred and forty
166
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.799
five billion dollars, that if we got rid of that
167
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.519
would be the third biggest economy in the world. It's
168
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.840
got to change. We cannot allow our biggest and most
169
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.759
important economy to continue to slide into the House
1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.599
So Gavin Newsom insider within his administration or wire, got
2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.080
some dirt, helped to get three people convicted. But I
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.839
actually don't even care so much about the ties to
4
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.800
Newsom or his office. I'm more concerned about the ties
5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.160
to Javier Bisera, the front runner in the gubernatorial race
6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.079
in Commifornia. As much as I would love for us
7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.480
to be able to nail Newsom at some point, we
8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.640
can have a couple of years for him, Bisarah, we
9
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.159
need to get nailed before the November election because I
10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.880
do not want him to be governor. So if we
11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.079
can use this information to tie it to Bessera, seems
12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.119
pretty straightforward, pretty logical that we could. Well, maybe we
13
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
can do some real good and then we'll go after
14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.159
Gavin Newsom before his twenty twenty eight presidential run. We
15
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.039
have the story over at Conservative playlist dot com. Javier
16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.560
Bessera's campaign tangled in ethics probe tied to Newsom's insider
17
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.480
FBI wire Juicy California's political establishment learned this week that
18
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.799
the FBI didn't merely investigate Gavin Newsom's inner circle from
19
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.319
the outside, It recruited from within. According to an exclusive
20
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.400
report in the New York Post. Democratic power broker Alexis Podesta,
21
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.200
not related to John secretly recorded conversations for federal investigators
22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.920
as far back as June twenty twenty four, which is important.
23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.159
It's important to note because you got Gavin Newsom and
24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.799
Javier Massarra out there. Oh, this is the Trump administration.
25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.480
This is Trump trying to use the Department of Justice
26
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.760
against no this started under Biden. So when you hear
27
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.959
those claims, know they're gas lighting. They are lying to you.
28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.879
President Trump was not the President of the United States
29
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.120
in June twenty twenty four. In his Department of Justice
30
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.079
was not in power. There were gathering evidence in the
31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.319
corruption probe that brought down Dana Williamson, the governor's former
32
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.920
chief of staff. All important, but again let's get to
33
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.000
the juicier stuff.
34
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.120
That the.
35
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.079
Revelation matters for reasons that go well beyond Newsom's Bruce pride.
36
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.000
It explains why Sacramento insiders and lobbyists received startling FBI
37
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.599
letters last fall informing them their calls had been intercepted.
38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.879
Many despite having no connection to Williamson at all, they knew,
39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.120
based upon everything they were hearing, that this was an investigation.
40
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.560
They figured that out. Newsom knew it, Javier Bessera knew it,
41
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.879
and they still pushed forward hoping, I guess against hope
42
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.520
that they could get him into office prior to any
43
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.879
of this stuff coming out. Well, it hasn't come out
44
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.479
all the way yet, but as we noted, it does
45
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.199
land squarely on Bisserah, the former attorney general and Biden
46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.599
HHS secretary who now leads the field to succeed Newsom.
47
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.599
The money at the center of this entire scheme float
48
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.800
out of accounts bearing his name. Yes, they were, They
49
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.680
were taking his dormant, dormant campaign accounts. That's a big
50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.000
hue fat and no no, it brought three guilty pleas
51
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.919
the underlying fraud is no longer alleged. It is admitted.
52
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.439
Federal prosecutors charged that roughly two hundred and twenty five
53
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.680
thousand dollars was ciphering from Bessara's dormant campaign account and
54
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.120
disguised as consulting fees to pad the income of Sean McCluskey,
55
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.159
who was Bessair's longtime chief of staff. After McCluskey took
56
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.840
a pay cut to follow his boss to Washington, now
57
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.759
Steve Hilton, the Republican running in California, the only man
58
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.680
that can't stop Bessarah, has alleged multiple times, and there
59
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.520
are legs to these allegations. He has alleged that this
60
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.479
was padding, basically padding money to keep McCluskey on board.
61
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.479
Bissarah won a McCluskey in DC with him when he
62
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.000
moved over to become the HHS secretary. Unfortunately, McCluskey said,
63
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.400
it's not enough money. I have to take a pay
64
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.159
cut to come work there because there are apps federal
65
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.919
caps on how much he can make. He's like, I
66
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.080
just can't do it if that's all the money. So
67
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.039
they cooked up a scheme, again alleged by Steve Hilton,
68
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.080
they cooked up a scheme to siphon dormant money from
69
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.319
the campaign into consulting fees that could be used to
70
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:19.000
pay McCluskey. The That was the intention. It's like, okay,
71
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.560
well let's let's basically let's cover the gap. It's necessary
72
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.439
so you can stay with us. We'll cover the gap
73
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.879
by feeding you some extra money on the side. Huge, huge,
74
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.439
federal no. No.
75
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:31.560
Now.
76
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.040
I hope and pray that the Trump DOJ is not
77
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.879
letting California run this investigation alone. This needs to be
78
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.279
be run from the federal level. It needs to be
79
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.319
addressed directly, and it needs to happen before the November election.
80
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.439
I mean, here's the thing. If this is not based
81
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.000
upon everything that we know publicly, and I'm sure they
82
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.560
know a lot more privately and in secret, if they
83
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:09.160
let this slide, I would have a whole lot of questions.
84
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.399
All three charged of defendants have pleaded guilty. McCluskey admitted
85
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.800
to conspiracy and agreed to repay the full two hundred
86
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.959
and twenty five thousand dollars. Lobbyist Greg Campbell acknowledged in
87
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.160
his plead documents that the group's financial maneuvers amounted to
88
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:30.000
laundering money. Okay, FBI, where are you? And Williamson, Once
89
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.720
Newsom's feared enforcer, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to
90
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.600
commit bank and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return,
91
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.920
and lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Podesta enters
92
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.160
the story as Williamsons chose the successor. This is the
93
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.879
person Alexis Podesta who wore the wire on behalf of
94
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.079
the investigators. When Williamson left private consulting to run Newsom's office.
95
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.720
In late twenty twenty two, she handed her client portfolio,
96
00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.839
including the Bessera account, to Podesta. Campaign finance records reviewed
97
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.879
by cal Matters show the Adornment Bessarah committee paid Podesta
98
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.240
Company a total of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars,
99
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.439
mostly in tidy ten thousand dollars monthly installments through twenty
100
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.439
twenty three and twenty twenty four, right around the time
101
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.279
when Bessara was needing the money to pay off his
102
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:22.879
his chosen chief of staff. All seems seems mighty convenient.
103
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.319
Jump ahead to Bessara's story, where we start to see
104
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.839
the contradictions. Bissarah insists he knew nothing of the fraud,
105
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.560
and the indictment does not accuse him of wrongdoing. Very clear,
106
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.600
he's not currently indicted yet his own explanation has wobbled.
107
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.600
Days after the indictment broke, he told Fox forty he
108
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
was aware of and had authorized the payments, describing the
109
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.680
change the charges as a gut punch. Oh, I knew
110
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.800
I signed off on a bit, but you know, I
111
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.160
didn't know it was being used for bad stuff. But
112
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.160
then months later, he told CNN and the McClatchy editorial
113
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.720
Board that the payments occurred outside of his vision, so
114
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.519
he knew about it before, but then all of a
115
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.720
sudden later, he didn't know about it at all. Both
116
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.439
things cannot be true, and voters are entitled to ask
117
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.600
which version they're being sold. The former attorney general of
118
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.000
the largest state in the Union either supervised six figures
119
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.680
in outflows from his own committees, or he did not
120
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.319
and was completely unaware. Either way, it sucks. And here's
121
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.839
the thing. You know, I'm not even so concerned. I'm
122
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.040
sure it'd be nice to get justice. But look, I
123
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.319
think many, if not most of not all of us
124
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.800
are are pretty pretty down on the hopes or possibility
125
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.279
that the whole people are going to get arrested any moment.
126
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.040
You know, Gavin News was going to get arrested, Steve,
127
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.199
but Sarah's going to get arrested. All the people in
128
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.759
the Epstein lists are going to get arrested, all the
129
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.839
people that participate in Russia Gate. Look, okay, fine, we've
130
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.240
been burnt too many times. I don't care why I care,
131
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.639
but I'm not expecting arrests. But by golly, get the
132
00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:01.720
information out there. Okay, either Besarah engaged in, participated in,
133
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:06.199
and was aware of illegal activities happening with his campaign
134
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.600
funds for his chief of staff, or he had no idea.
135
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.399
He's just just an idiot. Okay, I don't know what's
136
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.360
happening with my chief of staff, my campaign funds, my people,
137
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.800
I do. Everybody's just just taking advantage of poor Stupidjlvi Erbassara.
138
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.600
Either way, if he's either involved in the crime or
139
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.759
unaware of the crime, that should be disqualifying. He wants
140
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.440
to run California, and if he does get to run California,
141
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:35.919
he will run it to the ground. So it is
142
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.039
in our best interest for this information to get out
143
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.000
as quickly as possible. I don't want this to linger.
144
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.679
I mean, Steve Hilton's doing everything he can to get
145
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.679
the information out there, but Legacy media is not doing
146
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.519
much about this. They're just like, oh, it's poor Kavin
147
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.159
Newsom's getting targeted by Trump. That's their story. That's his story,
148
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.440
and he's fed it to them and now that's their story.
149
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.440
So it's up to us to spread the truth, just
150
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.039
like we do right here on this article. Over at
151
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.440
Conservative playlist dot Com.
152
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.759
They've doubled the budget of California in the last ten years,
153
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.320
and everything's worse. The idea that you can't reduce spending,
154
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.080
which is essential if you're going to cut taxes, is ridiculous.
155
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.519
I was talking to someone who runs a contracting company
156
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.879
building roads, right They build roads all across the country.
157
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.360
She told me that it costs four times as much
158
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.320
to build the exact same piece of road in California
159
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.440
as intense because of the regulatory because of the regulatory framework,
160
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.159
the project labor agreements that unions negotiape that massively inflate
161
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.480
the construction costs, environment a sequel, the permitting process, California
162
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.279
Environmental Quality Act, lawsuit risk that's priced into everything. I
163
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.279
was just on and on just the bloat in the government.
164
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.399
We calculated that if you just that the cost the
165
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.600
annual a regulatory bloat in California seven hundred and forty
166
