Fool's Gold

The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All

By: Susan Crabtree, Jedd McFatter, Peter Schweizer - introduction

Narrated by: Brian Troxell

An investigation that shows how the most ambitious figures in the Democratic Party want to transform the rest of America into the progressive dystopia that is California.

Take a close look at today’s Democratic Party power brokers and you’ll quickly realize most of them share one thing in common: California. Residents are fleeing the Golden State in droves, the state’s homelessness crisis is the worst in the country, drug-related deaths are skyrocketing, and violent crime and smash-and-grab retail theft is now commonplace. For too many across the state, pursuing the Californian Dream is now a fool’s errand. But what people don't know is what's driving these failures and why California leaders have allowed them to spiral.

Fool’s Gold exposes the most powerful names in politics: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, among others. This explosive book reveals why the chaos in America continues to get worse, and provides hopeful recommendations for how the U.S. can get back on track.

It’s a story the mainstream media would prefer to keep hidden.

Critic reviews

“Fool’s Gold exposes the dangerous progressive vision that has failed California and now threatens every American.”—PETER SCHWEIZER, author of #1 NY Times bestsellers Blood Money, Red-Handed, and Clinton Cash

“It's too simple to merely write-off the collapse of California as a result of failed left-wing ideology run amok. Prevailing liberal dogmas loom large over this 21st century disaster, to be sure. But, at its root, the California nightmare is the perfect example of how ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ Susan Crabtree employees her award-winning investigative skills to ‘follow the money’ and expose the good old fashioned political corruption that one party rule in the formerly Golden State has empowered the rich to the detriment of the hard-working citizens who once saw California as the place to live their American dream. This book also serves as the proverbial canary in the coal mine warning for the other 49 states. Read this book and be forewarned: The same powers exposed here will surely ‘California our country’ if given the opportunity in Washington DC."—LARRY O'CONNOR, WMAL radio host

It’s old news and yet they still breathe free air.

I hope the day will come (soon) you can write the “ Fools day in court”

Newsom - the Gruesome Truth

Exceptionally well researched and written history of Newsom’s real history of corruption, conflict, and incompetence.

Filled with specific events and acts, which have led to the disasters in California and which now threaten the nation.

A must read for anyone seriously interested in politics and the economy 

A VERY Important & BRAVE piece of literature

Countless = The amount of times I sent a snippet to my wife as proof of why we need to leave LA.

Exactly what is needed at this time

The investigation is well researched and focused. It’s the perfect subject matter I was looking for and it came at the right time. The writing is solid and easy to understand.

How true this is as a California resident

Sometimes a bit too conservative but very true nonetheless . The highlighted political relationships should be made more public than we hear.
