California is facing a $325 billion budget crisis riddled with loopholes, hidden deals, and blocked audits. On the Def Noodles Podcast, I sat down to break down exactly how Sacramento insiders have been abusing taxpayer dollars — and why it’s time for Californians to demand radical transparency.
Here's a snippet:
What We Covered on the Show
Pay-to-Play Politics in Sacramento
Gavin Newsom’s network of donors has been routing millions into nonprofits tied to his partner — creating a “legal” form of corruption that hides money from the public eye.
Blocked Audits and Homelessness Spending
When per-unit homelessness costs hit $800,000, Californians deserved answers. Instead, Sacramento politicians blocked critical audits that could have exposed fraud, waste, and abuse.
The Controller’s Power to Enforce Accountability
As State Controller, I will launch real-time public audits using blockchain technology. Every taxpayer dollar — from vendor payments to state contracts — will be visible, verifiable, and permanently recorded for the public.
Why Transparency Protects California’s Future
From public safety to infrastructure and education, our dollars must be invested where they matter most. Transparency ensures accountability, restores trust, and ends the culture of insider deals.

Why This Matters
This campaign is about more than one race. It’s about returning power to Californians by shining light into the darkest corners of government spending. My appearance on the Def Noodles Podcast is one step in a much larger movement to hold Sacramento accountable and protect the future of our state.
Join the fight for accountability.
