The preshow starts now. I’ll be in the livestream chat for the film. Don’t miss it.

Trump administration officials currently living on military bases due to threats:
-Attorney General Todd Blanche
-Secretary of State Marco Rubio
-War Secretary Pete Hegseth
-White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
-Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Pretty insane that political violence in this country has become this severe.

Must read by @CityJournal
Gavin Newsom’s Illegal Labor Problem.
Tax returns showed he and his wife reported at least $11 million in income from 2019–2024, most of it from wineries and related businesses. PlumpJack owns more than 400 acres of Napa vineyards, including the Oso Vineyard, purchased in 2022 for $14.5 million.
The governor’s vineyard has long employed illegal immigrants via a vineyard management company with a record of 'labor issues' under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act.

“His priorities will sound familiar to Trump watchers: eliminating what the administration considers "woke" policies from colleges and workplaces, lowering prescription drug prices, and rooting out government and health-care fraud.
“He also wants to emphasize reducing the federal bureaucracy and push for permitting reform, while highlighting how those efforts could help address affordability.
“Sources in the business community say Miller's ideological drive makes him mostly impervious to typical Washington lobbying.”

Many such cases

Politicians just can’t stop hiring illegals
• Zoë Baird: Clinton's AG nominee withdrew in 1993 after hiring an undocumented nanny & chauffeur
• Kimba Wood: Another AG nomination from Clinton withdrew over hiring an undocumented nanny.
• Linda Chavez: Bush’s Labor Sec nominee stepped down in 2001 after employing an illegal worker.
• Bernard Kerik: Bush’s Homeland Security nominee in 2004 sank over an undocumented housekeeper.
City Journal just exposed how Gavin Newsom employed an army of illegal farmworkers

Bottles of Gavin Newsom’s wine sell for up to $7000 each?! This is like Hunter Biden’s art work selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just an illegal money funnel.

🚨 WOW! Gavin Newsom's "wine empire" just got exposed for being BUILT on ILLEGAL MIGRANT LABOR
Democrats never changed.
Prosecute this NOW.
Go after the companies and employers who do this nationwide!
"The governor sells his wine for up to $7,000 a bottle, and it's made him rich. But we've uncovered a secret. The vineyard operation is run on illegal labor in violation of federal law."
"...most of the laborers on Newsom's vineyard were illegal aliens." 🤯
He also says Renteria exploits the workers, and that Renteria's company has been fined by regulators for labor and safety violations
So the governor who fought Trump's deportations at every turn may have been profiting off the very people he was shielding!
And he wants them VOTING in elections.
Funny how that works.
If a Republican governor were caught like this, it would become front page news 24/7 ‼️ @christopherrufo

Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom has funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into healthcare and other services for illegal immigrants in California.
Is anyone surprised he is using a illegal immigrant slave labor to pick grapes at his winery?

EXCLUSIVE: Like a greedy senator of the late Roman Republic, Gavin Newsom's wine fortune (bottles up to $7K) appears built on (illegal) foreign labor—eligible for housing/healthcare paid by CA's middle class.

A whistleblower just EXPOSED Gavin Newsom’s Napa Valley wine business for using illegal alien workers.
He’s exploiting criminal aliens for their labor and his own profit by selling the wine for $7,000 a bottle.
This is illegal and he needs to be prosecuted.
Insane work, @christopherrufo

It’s all a scam

City Journal spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating the company that manages Gavin Newsom’s Oso Vineyard. PlumpJack, the wine business Newsom founded, bought Oso in 2022 for $14.5 million. It contracts Renteria Vineyard Management to run the field operations. RVM has a record of wage-and-hour violations, including a 2022 Labor Department finding involving 45 employees, and a former employee told our reporters that about 80 percent of its workers were in the country illegally. RVM does not appear in the federal E-Verify database.
(When a source phoned RVM in Spanish, said he had no green card or Social Security number, and asked about work, the employee took his number and said a manager would follow up.)
Newsom’s spokesman says the governor placed his business interests in a blind trust in 2019 and has no involvement in PlumpJack's operations or management. PlumpJack says it expects all vendors to comply with the law. RVM did not respond to our request for comment.

$7K a bottle? The wine must taste as good as Hunter Biden's paintings are beautiful...

Gavin Newsom wants to be America's next leader.
So why is his own vineyard relying on illegal labor to sell $7,000 bottles of wine?
A whistleblower just exposed how Newsom profits by undercutting American workers.
Read our exclusive City Journal report:
Christopher Rufo retweeted
"For years, Newsom’s business has contracted the services of a vineyard management company with a long history of employing illegal labor. And as governor, Newsom has leveraged tax dollars to facilitate the presence of illegal immigrants in California, which, in turn, helps prop up the struggling Napa wine industry from which he profits."
I'm in @CityJournal today, alongside @christopherrufo and @kennethschrupp, with an investigation into Gavin Newsom's Napa wine business.

We scored 115 of America's most prominent colleges and universities based on what actually matters.
On our 100-point scale, not one of these schools scored above 80. Only seven earned a 70 or higher. Eighty-seven received scores below 60.
The average score of an American school of higher education this year was an abysmal 50/100.
