In this hard-hitting interview on LI in the AM with Jay Oliver, Jeff Dornik exposes the dangerous blend of tyranny and hypocrisy driving Gavin Newsom’s California. From AI “transparency” laws that actually expand state control, to reparations programs that weaponize identity for political gain, Dornik lays out how Newsom’s regime represents the model blueprint for the far-left’s national ambitions in 2028. What’s unfolding in California is not random chaos—it’s calculated conditioning, using technology, ideology, and emotional manipulation to erode freedom under the guise of progress.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's bring in another expert. Ladies, gentlemen, California
you Gonor Gavin Newsom signing some laws regarding AI regulation,
believe in that slavery reparations as well as we bring
in California resident Jeff Dornick, founder CEO Pickaxe, also best
selling author. I'm reading it right now, following the leader.
(00:22):
Hard to put down, but I have to. I have
to get a little sleep here and there as we
welcome in mister Dornick to these airwaves, back to these
airwaves right here on Long Island. Jeff, welcome aboard here.
Gavin Newsom up to his old tricks once again, your governor,
tell me talk to me out of the Golden State there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, I definitely Gavin Newsom is as always is office rocker.
I mean, you know, like literally when you when you
look at everything, everything that he's doing, it's it's systematically
anti constitutional, anti anti free speech. And I think that
when we are looking at at the potential for him
(01:05):
running in twenty twenty eight, I think we all need
to be utterly terrified of of that idea.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So you know, I would think the wildfire situation and
complete mishandling of that back in January on not tim
off that ladder a couple of rungs. I would have
to think as far as twenty twenty eight is concerned there, Jeff.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Unfortunately, there's been so many things that they Gavin Newsom
has done wrong. But the problem is that that everybody
has such a short attention span. I think, I think
when you look at his handling of the fires, like
the whole reason why that happened, not even just the
reaction to it, The whole reason why that happened was
because of the government, especially when you're dealing with you know,
(01:54):
with the home insurance, fire insurance to all all of that,
where everybody was getting actually getting there and insurance drops
because the state of California would not allow the insurance
companies to raise their rates because they were wanting to
raise their rates, because because the state was not doing
its job in keeping the you know, the land safe.
(02:14):
And so when you look at it from from every
single thing where they're talking about homelessness, ready to talk
about the rampant drug use, you're talking about our constitutional rights,
freedom of speech, you know, even down to the legislation
that he's that he's signed in a lot of multiple times.
You know, protecting, it's protecting you know, everything from like
pedophiles to you know, to sex defenders and all of that.
(02:36):
It's it's you know, all of these things should have
shocked everybody into not listening to Gavin Newsom. Unfortunately, give
it a couple of days, everybody forgets and then you
just go back to business as usual.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Now you're talking about a guy trying to buy for boat.
One of the best signed Friday Lennard Almos the Senate
Bill five eighteen, I believe I have that right, Jeff,
which establishes the Bureau of the Sentence of mari and Slavery,
all within the confines of the California Department of Justice.
So this new agency, I guess, will be responsible regarding
(03:09):
I mean, how do you verify eligibility? How do you
possibly do that?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Processing the claims are recommending forms of restitution for the
sentence of enslaved African Americans there, I mean, I mean,
how do you go about that?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Again? It does not make any sense to me. He's
just virtual signaling to to the far left progressive base.
And and in the in the reality of it is
that there really is no way of truly verifying. You know,
especially especially today, you go back, you know one hundred years,
one hundred and fifty years, there was there was no records,
there's there's there's no way to officially prove so to
(03:45):
a certain degree, it would it would pretty much have
to be on on your honor, and we know how
people take advantage of a variety of systems. But I
think also this is indicative of the fact that on
one hand, you know, Gavin Newsom is portraying himself as
as a moderate saying response to the quote unquote far
right extremist MAGA movement. But then at the other on
(04:08):
the other hand, when you look at his actual policies,
they're they're they're playing to the far left, progressive extremist base.
And so so I think, you know, for us as
as conservatives and as constitutionalists, what what we really have
to do is we have to make sure that we
aren't just constantly reacting to his tweets or his posts
or his interviews, but really dive into these policies and
(04:30):
show people like, no, this is far left extremism. When
you actually look at as policies, forget the rhetoric, look
at the policies.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
His policies are horrific, and that to me, the far
left extremism right now is the very essence of the
tug of war going on in this country. A perfect
example as far as what we're what we're seeing fifteen
days out of a government shutdown here, that's prime example
one on one. But certainly you know we're going to well,
there's AI stuff and to build up was signed regarding
(05:02):
the transparency the use of AI by law enforcement agency.
So it gives you an idea there of when Newsome
is actually going, you know, requiring that any police report,
official document generated with the help of AI most disclose
the fact and identify the technology JEB actually being used.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, well, you know, and it's really crazy how fast
AI is being implemented, especially in the government, you know,
both within the federal government and within the state government.
And I think that this is something that I think
both Democrats and Republicans are getting wrong. And in fact,
you know, even Bernie Standers, he came out with a
report a few days ago that that was actually talking
(05:46):
about the problem, the problems with artificial intelligence and how
it's actually going to you know, wipe out up to
one hundred million jobs in our country. But also we're
also seeing you know, the fast tracking of artificial intelligence
by the Trump administration, both implementing it into the government
as well as you know, deregulating the industry. And then
and then you're seeing people like you know, Gavin Newsom
(06:09):
and some of these other guys that they're trying to
use ai AI as a prop and try to and
you know, it went with certain types of things. They'll
say like, oh, you know what, we need to regulate it? Well,
what does that mean? It means that you control how
the AI functions. Is that really what we want? Do
we really want to do? Do we really want to really?
Gavin Newsome dictating Uh, you know what artificial intelligence deemed
(06:31):
as truth or misinformation or all of that. So there's
a whole bunch of things that that are wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Here before we let you go. Uh, Now we have
a challenger. We're reading to Karen Bass, that wonderful mayor
out there in Los Angeles? Uh is uh? Is that
a race to watch? Is it a given and automatic?
The best? Where do you see that going? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
To me? I see I see it as an automatic
for Bass? I mean the reality is we can't forget
the la is l A is far left. It's it's
you know, it's Hollywood, it's it's all of that. So
I don't really see anything anything changing there. What I'm
really concerned about is the governor's race and having Katie
Porter as the front runner right now, out here, out
here at the state of California, that if she gets
(07:21):
into the governor's mansion, it is going to be, like
you think Gavin Newsom is bad, Katie Porter makes Gavin
Newsom look like a tea party guy.
All right, let's bring in another expert. Ladies, gentlemen, California
you Gonor Gavin Newsom signing some laws regarding AI regulation,
believe in that slavery reparations as well as we bring
