Might there be a print transcript/version available?
Thanks!
Corruption in our culture is so endemic its absence is remarkable. We are way overdue for a guillotine revolution. If Trump is not reelected natters will reach a crisis comparable to our Revolution and Civil War.
Corruption must be brought down. We will not survive as a free people unless it is profoundly curtailed.
Here’s the rest of the lead in.
Yeah I have no love for youtube, FB etc. And google.
Both google and youtube al always putting links on my phone.
Fast forward two decades. Gov. Pat Brown’s administration developed Squaw Valley for the 1960s winter Olympics and afterward awarded a concession to operate it to William Newsom and his partner, John Pelosi.
One of the Pelosi’s sons, Paul, married Nancy D’Alesandro, who went into politics and has now reclaimed speakership of the House of Representatives. Another Pelosi son married William Newsom’s daughter, Barbara. Until they divorced, that made Nancy Pelosi something like an aunt by marriage to Gavin Newson (Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law was Gavin Newsom’s uncle).
The Squaw Valley concession was controversial at the time and created something of a rupture between the two old friends.
William Newsom wanted to make significant improvements to the ski complex, including a convention center, but Brown’s Department of Parks and Recreation balked. Newsom and his son, an attorney also named William, held a series of contentious meetings with officials over the issue.
An eight-page memo about those 1966 meetings from the department’s director, Fred Jones, buried in the Pat Brown archives, describes the Newsoms as being embittered and the senior Newsom threatening to “hurt the governor politically” as Brown ran for a third term that year against Ronald Reagan.
Pat Brown’s bid for a third term failed, and the Reagan administration later bought out the Newsom concession. But the Brown-Newsom connection continued as Brown’s son, Jerry, reclaimed the governorship in 1974. He appointed the younger William Newsom, a personal friend and Gavin’s father, to a Placer County judgeship in 1975 and three years later to the state Court of Appeal.
Justice Newsom, who died a few weeks ago, had been an attorney for oil magnate J. Paul Getty, most famously delivering $3 million to Italian kidnapers of Getty’s grandson in 1973. While serving on the appellate bench in the 1980s, he helped Getty’s son, Gordon, secure a change in state trust law that allowed him to claim his share of a multi-heir trust.
After Newsom retired from the bench in 1995, he became administrator of Gordon Getty’s own trust, telling one interviewer, “I make my living working for Gordon Getty.” The trust provided seed money for the Plump Jack chain of restaurants and wine shops that Newson’s son, Gavin, and Gordon Getty’s son, Billy, developed, the first being in a Squaw Valley hotel.
Gavin Newsom had been informally adopted by the Getty’s after his parents divorced, returning a similar favor that the Newsom family had done for a young Gordon Getty many years earlier. Newsom’s Plump Jack business (named for an opera that Gordon Getty wrote) led to a career in San Francisco politics, a stint as mayor, the lieutenant governorship and now to the governorship, succeeding his father’s old friend.
He’s keeping it all in the extended family.
What about Willie?
This video should be pinned on FR for future reference...best collection of these facts I have seen for some time. Provides some real insight why things are happening like they are by Pelosi’s House and Newsom and the RAT govenors....
bttt
He’s a guilty party too.
FOR years he ran SF and really California too.
He was the go to guy.
Can that be done? Pinned to FR?
Yep Barbra Boxer....Tony Rodham (brother of Cankles) marries Nicole Boxer (Boxer daughter) which produce a son (Boxer grandson). God these people breed.
Where is Garcetti?
Well said
The phoniness of politicians is so obvious They have no appreciation for American history, sacrifice.
I’d like to turn back time and put liberals on the beaches of Normandy, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and see how much they appreciate sacrifice
Only four?
Oooops Five....Maxine Waters
It’s the Pelosa Nostra.
Learned a lot!
Let’s not forget Gavin Newsom was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. She had the good sense to get far away from him.
Whoever produced this video omitted a HUGE piece of information.
Jerry Brown is probably California’s wealthiest governor ever. He has an undisclosed fortune in an oil trading company he inherited from his father, former Gov. Pat Brown. An oil trading company in Hong Kong was given to Brown Sr. by Indonesian generals who took over their country in a violent coup. This was in return for Brown Sr. brokering $12 billion in U.S. loans to help nationalize oil companies. Brown Jr.’s inherited business was lucrative because Indonesian low-sulfur crude oil could meet early clean air standards in California.
