Gavin Newsom comes out, posts a video, guys, if you want to pull up the video while I'm reading the addendum story.
And all of a sudden you're like, you're almost watching Kim.
It's as if he's using the playbook, copying every single thing that the president did. They're coming after me, you know. He is literally copying every single page of the playbook that the Trump used, except they did that to him. Here, he's using a playbook. Let me read it to you. Gavin Newsom says DOJ is investigating him and his wife, and Newsom, a Democrat, did not specify exactly what the Department of Justice was allegedly investigating for. But play the clip. Which clip do you want to play first, him or the other one? Guys, this is four minutes and 42 seconds. Just play the first 60 seconds. Go ahead.

In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends and former employees. Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one. They're demanding records. They're abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president.
Because he hates that I consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit. Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history. He's turned the levers of government into his own personal power ministries to reward cronies and to try to jail his opponents. His personal attorney now runs the Department of Justice, which has repeatedly gone after his political enemies. Ask Jerome Powell, sent them after James Comey, Trish James, Adam Schiff. He sent them after Tim Waltz and a woman that a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused.
One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list. And today, I proudly join that list.

Okay.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:31)
I can pause that right there, Vinnie.

**Vinnie** (2:32)
What's going on here? So stop complaining about it. It's such, it's so funny to hear the left talking about weaponization of the government as if they're just coming out of this from nowhere. So one of the biggest questions raised, guys, is Jennifer Newsom's nonprofit, the Representation Project, reports an IRS filing showed that she allegedly paid herself $1.8 million in salary, while another $2.1 million probably went to her production company. It's called Girls Club Entertainment through nonprofit funding tied to donors connected to Gavin Newsom's political world. That's almost $4 million flowing back into her own ecosystem, while California lectures taxpayers about equity and compassion. Now, this is days past, but literally the day after this news broke, the federal investigation, Gavin Newsom agreed to pay $31,500 ethics fine for California's own political watchdog, found he failed to properly disclose over $5.5 million in donor payments he personally solicited tied to corporations, foundations and wildfire funding, relief funding. And now, by the way, this just comes... Remember in May, we talked about that free diaper newborn tax situation that they did, Tom? Remember, Pat? They were cheating the system. And then, this is what I think is happening.

**Tom** (3:43)
Five times more expensive than Costco.

**Vinnie** (3:44)
Yeah, weird. And it's by the... The chickens have come home to roost, because let's not forget, I think... This is my opinion, Pat. Dana Williamson, his former... Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, she pled guilty in May to bank and wire fraud, tax returns and lying to federal agents and the penalties over 30 years in prison.
Think about that. That's, to me, maybe she's talking, maybe she's blowing the whistle. And just for everybody that's like...

**Tom** (4:07)
Maybe she wants 30 to go down.

**Vinnie** (4:09)
Exactly, to maybe go down to 10 to 15 But let's just clear the air. This investigation began under Joseph Biden, not Donald Trump. So all this, everybody's coming after me is nonsense. And let's just be obvious. This is the same guy, Pat, in the same state that spent $24 billion.
I'm going to say that number again. $24 billion with the billion to get rid of homelessness, Mr. Morgan, and what happened? It multiplied. It's as if the money went to make them more drugged out and more strung out to put them on the street.
