Newsom Pledges To RIG ELECTION Of California Governor For Democrats! (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy is joined by Elaine Culotti, a no-party-preference candidate for California governor, who explains that she has been shut out of debates because media polls only ask about Democrats and Republicans, ignoring the 23% of registered voters who are no-party-preference, while Governor Gavin Newsom admitted that if Democrats are not the top two finishers in California's "jungle primary," there is a "break the glass scenario" to rig the outcome—which Culotti says proves they will "rig the election even more than it's already rigged."

She recounts meeting a Pacific Palisades homeowner standing in the ashes of his burned-down house who told her he would vote for "whichever Democrat they can get across the finish line," despite Democrats having failed to rebuild or fix a 50-year-old "temporary" storm drain. Culotti also notes that Xavier Becerra, who was polling at 2%, has been boosted to 21% with $10 million in spending, while Jimmy says that billionaire Tom Steyer—who made his fortune from for-profit prisons—is being supported by former Bernie Sanders voters, revealing the hypocrisy of the progressive base.

She advocates for filing municipal bankruptcy for Los Angeles to eliminate unfunded mandates like SB 79 (high-density housing) and sanctuary city policies, and to stop the land grab she believes is happening in Pacific Palisades, where high-density housing is planned in place of burned-down homes.
