Most Corrupt Series: Gavin Newsom | California's Price of Ambition

FORGOTTEN HISTORY

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has built a political career that has taken him from San Francisco City Hall to the highest office in the nation’s largest state. But behind the carefully polished image of a reformer lies a trail of political deals, lucrative connections, and decisions that critics say reveal a pattern of deep corruption. From lavish campaign donations and insider relationships with billionaires to controversial policies that have enriched allies while the state faces homelessness, crime, and a staggering cost of living, Newsom’s record raises serious questions about who truly benefits from his leadership. His ties to the Getty family and powerful tech donors have fueled his rise, but they also fuel suspicions of pay-to-play politics and backroom deals. This episode of the Most Corrupt series investigates the money, influence, and hidden power structures surrounding Gavin Newsom. We lay out the documented facts, the political maneuvering, and the unresolved questions that could define his ambitions for higher office—and the potential cost to the people of California. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production."

"I am a third generation California. What most people don’t realize about our dictatorial governor is he has always been this way, and we have tried twice to recalling him. But some how magic votes in the 11th hour have saved him. In the last election, the people had put forth a bill that required all bills to be a single subject with a clear and accurate title, no riders, no hidden agendas, no double negatives or Confusing titles. Accurate and clear analysis of cost. Even though The bill had more than enough public signatures to be placed on the ballot. Newsom went to the California Supreme Court and had it removed from the ballot so the public never saw it. Newsome also signed into law AB 205. Which has a hidden section section that allows large solar and wind companies, even out of state, to go directly to the California energy commission to obtain permits to build. Bypassing the local county representative, the local city council, and the local population. Basically a dictatorship. If he treats the people of his own state this way imagine how he would treat the country." From the comments to this video.

Governor Of California PANICS After Hundreds Of Gas Stations Are Shutting Down?! Video. "California faces an unprecedented fuel infrastructure challenge as 473 independent gas stations prepare to close on January 1st, 2026.

"In this video, we break down what's actually driving this crisis. A 2014 state law requires all underground storage tanks to be upgraded from single-walled to double-walled systems by the end of 2025. The upgrades cost approximately $2 million per station — a financial barrier many independent operators cannot overcome. "We'll dive into the RUST loan program that was designed to help small stations cover upgrade costs, the multi-year application delays that left owners unable to complete work before the deadline, and the $5,000 per day penalties that force immediate closure for non-compliant stations. "Finally, we look at the human and economic impact — rural communities losing their only fuel source, the gap between electric vehicle adoption rates and gasoline infrastructure decline, and what happens to fuel prices when competition disappears from local markets.
