in the entire US. Now that kind of makes sense. If you live in California, you know that your odds of surviving outdoors are much better than most places. You know, there are places that are warmer and they would be too warm, you know, like Arizona, for example. But the place you would most likely survive on the sidewalk would be California. And then you add on top of that all the friendly policies toward the homeless. Of course we have 30%. It's amazing that we don't have 100%. Actually, probably the only reason we don't have 100% of the homeless is that they can't get here. They haven't had to travel here. But why would anybody go anywhere else? So that looks like a problem that's not going to get solved anytime soon.

So I guess the state auditor of California according to Kevin Kiley, he's a congressman from California, they issued this scathing report and they identified eight separate state agencies just in California as quote high risk which means they exhibit serious waste fraud abuse or mismanagement costing taxpayers billions.

So have you ever heard the word auditor as much as you have in the last 30 days? How many of you remember that I started hitting that word like crazy? Audit, audit, audit, audit. But audits are boring. So it doesn't really catch on with the public so much. But I kept hammering on it. Audit, audit. And now I don't know if I had any influence in causing anything, but you will note that the number of times you hear the word audit and the number of times you hear somebody suggest auditing. I think Chamath from the All-In pod did a post on this just yesterday or so and you mentioned the needs for audits and most of the stories are now audit related if they have to do with money. So that is a step in the right direction.

But I'll tell you what, maybe you know the answer to this question. So a couple of days ago, I saw a video that I don't know if it's AI or not. And that's what's funny about it. So it was a video of someone asking Governor Newsom about his waste of federal money, I guess. And Newsom starts talking and gesticulating as he does and it was so word salad but yet the sentences might have made sense but it was insanely incomprehensible. Did anybody see that? Was that an AI or was that actually him being presumably stoned out of his mind on something trying to answer a question and just word salad his way through it for like a minute and a half and it didn't end like he starts with the well this and that that it just kept going and going and going and going.

So I'm curious. Did any of you see that? You would know exactly what I'm talking about if you saw it. And was that real? Because it looked like it should have been AI. Well, I'm more interested in the AI technology than I am in his answer. Is it so good that I was wondering if it's AI and I couldn't tell?

All right. Well, you might know this. Steve Hilton. You remember him from Fox News. He had a show on Fox. He's running for governor of California. And he notes that Californians pay double the national average for electricity and that it's all based on bad policies and climate crisis stuff. And if he becomes governor, he will cut in half your electric bill in California. Now that's a pretty strong pitch because it has an actual number, 50%. And he gives an actual way that he can do it, which sounds quite doable. You know, just cut out the things that California has been doing wrong, which everybody can identify.

So I saw a poll where he was actually leading. Do you believe that a Republican could be leading in the polls to become governor of California? I would have said no until this year. And I think that the way Hilton is doing it is the way to do it because the big thing that Democrats are going to ask for is affordability. So it's one thing to say, "Oh, vote for me. I'll give you some affordability." It's another thing to tell them exactly how much you're going to save. You know, half of your electric bill and tell you exactly how he's going to do it. And you look at it, you go, "Yeah, that would work. That would work." So the more ways that Steve Hilton can find to do that, this is what I'll save you. This is how I'm going to do it, he might actually become governor. So he's smart enough. It's just whether the machine will crush him or not.

So are we still talking about that Bari Weiss CBS 60 Minutes piece about that got squashed or is that too boring? I saw that Hillary Clinton weighed in on and then Bukele, the head of El Salvador, said, "Sure, we'll send back your p
