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, drug-related deaths are 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 Californian 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 Californian 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.

Their investigation exposes:

• The most powerful and ambitious politicians and family dynasties and their questionable association with convicted criminals and unsavory business partners.
• World-class con artists and their schemes to defraud, plunder, and literally poison the people and institutions of America—including the illegal alien drug dealers getting rich and avoiding prison and deportation while killing Americans with fentanyl and other illicit drugs.
• Myriad schemes in which officials line their own pockets and sell out to the Chinese government, along with other foreign interests.
• You’ll see how California’s elites retain political power at the national and international scale through secrecy and deception.

How did the Golden State become this tarnished? And more importantly, why is California’s corrosion continuing? This explosive book warns that Gavin Newsom is actually right when he often declares, “As goes California, so goes the nation.” America’s future is inextricably tied to California because of its sheer size and the enormous influence of its political figures who remain dead set on controlling the White House for decades to come—and turning the rest of America into California.

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

“Fool’s Gold exposes the dangerous progressive vision that has failed California and now threatens every American.”
