“California Dream is as good as dead”

In this interview with The Hill Susan Crabtree, co-author of Fool’s Gold, a new book she co-wrote with GAI’s Jedd McFatter, declares the California Dream dead under Democratic rule.

Crabtree, a California resident and senior correspondent for RealClearPolitics, blames Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi for wildfires, homelessness, drug deaths, and crime, spotlighting Newsom’s release of 70,000 prisoners during COVID as a fabricated safety move. Crabtree exposes Newsom’s CCP ties and performative pivots—like his Charlie Kirk chat—lacking policy shifts. Despite electoral wins, she notes a rightward trend as Californians flee high costs and chaos. Fool’s Gold warns these failed far-left experiments could spread nationwide.
