The progressive district attorney of Los Angeles County (George Gascón), the district attorney of San Francisco (Chesa Boudin), and California Governor Gavin Newsom will all end up being successfully recalled from office following the then-ongoing efforts circa early 2021.

Explanation
Jason Calacanis’ co-host David Sacks predicted that the progressive district attorney of Los Angeles County (George Gascón), the district attorney of San Francisco (Chesa Boudin), and California Governor Gavin Newsom would all be successfully recalled.
What actually happened:
-
Chesa Boudin (San Francisco DA) – Was recalled.
- San Francisco held a recall election on June 7, 2022. Voters approved removing Boudin from office by roughly 55–60% "yes" on the recall (122,588 yes to 100,177 no). (en.wikipedia.org)
-
George Gascón (Los Angeles County DA) – Was not recalled.
- A major 2022 recall effort submitted about 715,000 signatures, but after verification only ~520,000 were deemed valid, short of the 566,857 required. County officials therefore rejected the petition and no recall election was held. (abc7.com)
-
Gavin Newsom (Governor of California) – Was not recalled.
- A statewide recall election was held on September 14, 2021. Voters rejected the recall by a wide margin (about 61.9% "No" to 38.1% "Yes"), and Newsom remained in office. (en.wikipedia.org)
Because only Boudin was successfully recalled, while Gascón’s recall never made the ballot and Newsom survived his recall election, the prediction that all three officials were “going to get recalled” is incorrect overall.
