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.
Residents are fleeing the Golden State in droves, the state’s homelessness crisis is the worst in the country, the number of drug-related deaths is skyrocketing, and violent crime and smash-and grab retail theft in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are now commonplace. For too many across the state, pursuing the California Dream is now a fool’s errand. But what people don’t know is what’s driving these failures, why California’s leaders have allowed them to spiral, and how this contagion could spread to every other city and town in the United States if it isn’t exposed for what it is: failed far-left social experiments.
From the investigative research team behind Peter Schweizer’s runaway bestsellers comes Fool’s Gold, a hard-hitting work of journalism that tells the untold story of the dark side of the Democratic Party’s California elites and the toll they’ve taken on the entire country. One of Schweizer’s top investigators, Jedd McFatter, has teamed up with award-winning investigative journalist Susan Crabtree to expose the most powerful names in politics: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, among others.
"A forensic guide to the who, what, why, where, and when of the 'woke mind virus' which has bubbled up from California. The facts in Fool’s Gold serve as a vaccine for the rest of us, administered expertly by Susan Crabtree and Jedd McFatter."
