A six month CBS investigation found no evidence that California’s highest in the nation gas prices are the result of price gouging, as state politicians have repeatedly claimed. Instead, the investigation found those prices are largely the result of California’s own policies.
Let that sink in. For years Gavin Newsom and California Democrats blamed oil companies for $8 gas. They accused them of gouging consumers. They launched investigations and threatened new regulations. And after six months of digging, CBS found the truth - it is Newsom’s own policies that caused the crisis.
And here is what Newsom will never admit.
California Democrats created this disaster with their environmental regulations, their taxes on fuel, their mandates on refineries, and their war on American energy. They passed law after law designed to punish oil companies and make gas more expensive - and then acted shocked when gas became more expensive. CBS confirmed what every honest person already knew - the high prices are the direct result of Newsom’s policies, not corporate greed. Newsom lied. California Democrats lied.
They needed a villain to blame so they pointed at oil companies while ignoring the fact that their own regulations destroyed affordability. This is what Democrat governance looks like - blame everyone else for problems you created.
Newsom wants to be president but he cannot even manage gas prices in his own state. He has the worst homelessness in America, the highest taxes, businesses fleeing, crime exploding, and now even CBS is exposing his lies about gas prices. California pays $8 while Texas pays $3 for the same gallon. The difference is not corporate greed - the difference is Republican governance versus Democrat destruction. President Trump unleashed American energy and gas was affordable. Biden and Newsom declared war on oil and gas became unaffordable. Cause and effect. CBS proved it. Newsom’s policies are the reason Californians suffer. That is who he is. That is who he has always been.
NBC News investigation finds the price of gas in California is not because of the war with Iran, it’s because of Gavin Newsom and California Democrats
“We are paying on average $2 a gallon more than the national average for drivers across the nation and an expert on the oil and gas industry. Told me the math behind California's gas prices doesn't add up”
“About half of that is due to higher taxes and environmental fees and the higher cost of producing California's cleaner burning gasoline — Dr. Severin Borenstein is faculty director of UC, Berkeley's Haas Energy Institute, and he has a name for the extra buck you pay in California. The difference is what I call the mystery gasoline surcharge”
They say the closing refineries due to Gavin Newsom is also greatly impacting the price of gas
Wow. Candace Owens says Nick Shirley’s reporting is “made up” and “stupid”
She says it’s impossible for a “white boy” to do that kind of investigation.
This is how you know @nickshirleyy is killing it. Jealousy shining through.
Consumer Watchdog says gas price gouging is happening across California, and blames Gavin Newsom for not regulating refineries
They also spoke with an expert on the industry at UC Berkeley who confirmed clear price gouging is happening in California and it’s being allowed
“Drivers reacting to San Francisco gas prices that are going for, yes, $6.57 a gallon for regular unleaded at this Chevron station, $5.96 on average in San Francisco. The Bay Area is paying close to $2 more than the national average for gasoline, which is absurd.”
“Jamie Cork, who heads the nonprofit consumer Watchdog. We also spoke with UC. Berkeley's Severin Bornstein an expert in the industry Right now, has prices are actually up more than you would expect
— price gouging is happening right now across the state of California. He believes we should be at around 87 cents above the national average in California, not $2”
“The numbers don't lie. Refiners are making a dollar more per gallon than they did in January — As for who is to blame, court believes the governor should be doing more to regulate refiners”
@GavinNewsom You are one to talk about caring for your citizens, especially the most vulnerable
Elderly get defrauded by hospice and home health fraudsters
Homeless are used to make nonprofits rich
Children are used to collect government subsidies to fund fraudsters lifestyles
CALIFORNIA FRAUD EXPOSED: Skid Row petitioner panics after our undercover journalist catches him exchanging cigarettes for signatures.
For years, petitioners have been targeting the homeless on Skid Row, offering bribes such as cigarettes or cash in exchange for signing petitions that can change California law. They’ve also been registering the homeless to vote, oftentimes instructing them to use fraudulent information.
Not only is this illegal per California election law, but @Savsays is the 4th journalist in the latest string of independent journalists catching this organized criminal activity on the streets of Skid Row.
Back in 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney charged nine individuals with felony election crimes for running the exact same operation yet petitioners are still running the scheme every single day.
This is part of an ongoing investigative series in collaboration with @ctznjusticelg and @JamesOKeefeIII, exposing just how easily the California voting system can be exploited and defrauded.

NEW: Brazilian politician Fabiana Bolsonaro performs blackface to show trans people that putting dark foundation on her face doesn't make her black, just like changing your body doesn't make you a different gender.
The incident was reportedly a protest against the appointment of federal lawmaker Erika Hilton, a trans woman.
"I am painted black on the outside. I identify as black. So why can't I preside over the anti-racism commission? Why can't I take care of this agenda? Because I am not black."
BREAKING - Gavin Newsom’s wildlife “bridge to nowhere,” promised to cost California taxpayers $50 million in 2022, has more than doubled to $114 million and it’s still unfinished.
Welcome to the hospice capital of America…
The problem? They don’t actually exist.
This hospice made a million dollars and fled the scene. Meanwhile, their fellow hospice fraudsters drive luxury cars…
END ALL THE FRAUD
🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
