Half of Americans living on the streets are in California.
Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, worth an estimated $270 billion. Well, he's finally come to the realization that California has become a socialist dystopia under one party Democrat rule. He apparently attended a Christmas tree house party hosted by fellow billionaire Chris Larson in Marin County. And according to multiple reports, Brin pulled Governor Gavin Newsom aside into a side room and he told him straight up he couldn't tolerate this so-called billionaire tax. Right there in the heart of one of America's wealthiest enclaves, Brin confronted the governor. Now look, I've been to Marin County myself just a few months ago. As a matter of fact, I spoke to a women's Republican group there about my book For Christ and Country, The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. In Marin County, it's right there across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. And it's one of the richest counties in America, with median household income, over $149,000, sky-high education levels. But wealth, of course, hasn't made Marin moderate. It's made it deep, dark blue. It's one of the bluest counties in the country. For context, in 2024, Kamala Harris won Marin County with 80.6% to Trump's 16.7%.
And Democrats outnumber Republicans there by three or four to one. So this isn't a struggling inner-city area, obviously. It's scenic, it's affluent, it's packed with these tech executives, Hollywood types, limousine liberals, of course. You know, the people who can afford to champion open borders, extreme climate rules, soft-on-crime policies, and gender ideology because they live in one of the safest, richest bubbles in the country. And this is exactly where Sergey Brin, much like myself, stood up to Gavin Newsom right there in the belly of the beast. Now, Brin's story is especially compelling because he's an immigrant, a naturalized US citizen born in Moscow. His family fled the Soviet Union in 1979 when he was just six years old. So Brin should know real socialism firsthand, communism as a matter of fact, the Soviet Union. But there's a lesson here for all of us, young men in particular, I hope you're paying attention because men are heavily influenced by the women in their lives. Brin has been dating this MAGA influencer, Garelyn Gilbert Soto, I believe is her name for over two years, and she's called Trump her bestie. She carries a clutch with President Trump's name on it. And the New York Times, I assume, in their coverage of this, tried to paint her as a villain, but obviously she's a hero. She has rescued Brin from the darkness of liberalism. So anyway, it's no coincidence that Brin's political awakening lines up with this relationship, right?
But for 15 years, Brin was a reliable Democrat. He donated to Obama, to the DNC, same-sex marriage efforts, which failed in California, actually, but then were overturned by the Supreme Court.
But he's given a climate causes, and we're talking about hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. But recently, he's seen the light, sort of. In May 2025, he gave $100,000 to the RNC. He's backed candidates like Steve Hilton and the so-called moderate Democrat in the race for Governor Matt Mahan. So he's poured $57 million into fighting this billionaire tax. And look, I'm thrilled he's changing. It's better late than never. But let's be honest, it's remarkable to me. It's anybody watching, I think, that it took a maggot girlfriend and a direct threat to his own well for a Soviet-born immigrant to finally recognize what the rest of us have seen for years, if not decades. Brin recently told the New York Times, led Socialism in 1979, and he knows the devastation it causes. So where have you been the past 15 years, Sergey? You supported Obama in 2008 and 2012 What did you think Obamacare was, if not the foundation for socialized medicine? Brother, Sergey, the rest of us didn't need a personal billionaire tax or a new girlfriend to figure it out.
