On March 10, Vince Coglianese, the new host of the former Dan Bongino show, interviewed Susan Crabtree about the book, Fool’s Gold, that she co-authored with GAI’s Jedd McFatter.
The book exposes the corrupt reasons for California’s decline under Democratic elites such as Gavin Newsom. She highlights Newsom’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party, detailing how, as lieutenant governor, he founded ChinaSF, ushering in over 100 Chinese firms—subsidized to undercut U.S. markets—while pushing his wine business into China. Crabtree connects this to broader failures: rampant homelessness, drug deaths, and crime, arguing these far-left experiments threaten the nation. Though wildfires aren’t directly mentioned, the book critiques the toll of leaders like Newsom, Harris, Pelosi, and Schiff on California’s dream, now a cautionary tale.
