So, okay, if we say unions, right, and teachers unions, number one, you've got a couple other unions there as well.

It was a big driver of the budget crisis.

For sure. But one of the biggest things that helped, if you look at the five monumental moments in Trump winning in 2024, one is Bobby Kennedy joining his camp. Massive will never forget Arizona. He walks out with Charlie Kirk, kirk turning to usa that's one right uh you can see the event at butler that was definitely number

one okay and then you have to put and as much as this may seem like a small one is when

sean o'brien the president of team, came out and spoke at the convention,

and he was going to talk something, and then they said, no, we need you to submit your PowerPoint to prove it. And he calls Susie Wallace, says, I'm not speaking. He says, just call the president. I don't care what you say. He even said some of this. I don't give what you say. Just say whatever you want to say. And he got up, gave a speech, bashed a couple of capitalists, got off the stage.

But it was the first time in 120-something years that a Democrat didn't, the union didn't support the Democratic Party. So for you to win in a state like California, what are you doing to win over the union? How do you do that? Do you go and sit in front of these guys and trying to get, or is it an impossible thing to do in the state of California? Well, do you look at the,

there's, you know, of course, two categories, the government unions, non-government unions.

And in terms of the lock on power, one way of thinking about it is using Gavin Newsom as a proxy

chambers of the legislature, all the big cities and the counties, state Supreme Court,

6-1, Democrat. Isn't a representative even more than two-thirds?

It's like a... In the legislature. Isn't it 43 to 9? Yeah, no, it's more, but I mean, at least the two-thirds of what gives you the minimum, to be able to do whatever they're going to do. Exactly. So, so they call it supermajorie. So 16 years of that, in those 16 years, Gavin Newsom's been, you know, eight years as Lieutenant Governor,

you look at his donations as a kind of that. In those 16 years, Gavin Newsom's been, you know, eight years as,

Lieutenant Governor, eight years as governor, you look at his donations as a kind of proxy for

Democrat politicians in the categories. Number one category of donors to Gavin Newsom,

government unions. Non-government unions number three. And so they control the politicians. And that's representative of

the ones in the legislation or the other Democrat politicians. So they drive it. And it's the government

unions that are the biggest. And that drives the budget crisis because you get over the years,

all these, it's not the only reason they've just massively

increased spending. They've doubled spending in the last 10 years. The size of the budget in California
