Every Wednesday morning I go live on Instagram and discuss California politics...over coffee.
This week we discuss a new study from the Committee of To Unleash Prosperity which ranked states based on how they fared with mortality, education, and economy regarding COVID lockdowns. Blue states such as California, New York, and New Jersey fared the worst.
Also, we discuss Bari Weiss sounding the alarm on Shanghai policies coming to Sacramento in the form of AB2098.

00:00:24
California. Politics.
00:00:25
Good morning, good morning. Good morning.
00:00:39
In politics coffee. I didn't think it was that
00:00:44
noticeable, I always thought my New Jersey accent.
00:00:48
Has kind of faded away the longer I've spent in California
00:00:51
but I guess not. I guess it's, there's still some
00:00:53
things I say. I like coffee and dog and stuff
00:00:56
like that. I'm not like those East Coast
00:00:59
was like I can't get me some water like that's really thick
00:01:05
that people when I meet them and they're like oh you're from New
00:01:07
Jersey, you don't have an accent.
00:01:10
Well, no, I'm not, you know, I'm not the situation from from
00:01:14
Jersey Shore, you know, that's what everybody thinks.
00:01:17
Tony Soprano. Like there's a lot of other
00:01:19
people in Jersey who are not who don't talk like that.
00:01:23
See now, I just said, I said, talk like that and speak in New
00:01:26
Jersey. That's where we're going to talk
00:01:27
about a little bit today. This new study that did come out
00:01:30
showing a lot of blue States, fared worse than red states,
00:01:35
which a lot of people were like, well, yeah, we know that we
00:01:37
know. That's why I like, we know that
00:01:40
we did. We did we didn't really need a
00:01:41
study on it, but yeah, trying to get shellenberger on the show.
00:01:46
So hopefully you're here. We can get them on before, it
00:01:48
gets to gets too crazy, but I'm going to talk about that study
00:01:53
is gonna be another article. I want to talk about in regards
00:01:56
to its, by Barry Weiss. You don't know Barry Weiss's she
00:01:59
was a New York Times article. She wrote for the New York Times
00:02:03
and now she's sort of been ostracized because she went off
00:02:05
the reservation and their mind, she went off the reservation,
00:02:09
but she's kind of critiqued, a lot of the stuff that went on
00:02:12
with covid. And the lockdown is everything.
00:02:13
So it's gonna be very covid. Heavy episode today, Hopefully I
00:02:18
don't get you know banned by the overlords for anything like that
00:02:22
but those are the things we're going to talk about today
00:02:26
looking to get the podcast will be live.
00:02:29
This Friday afternoon most likely because of you know all
00:02:35
the holy weeks coming up, Easter's coming upstairs, a lot
00:02:38
of services. So, it won't be as easy as night
00:02:44
at night. But yeah, so we'll be looking to
00:02:47
do that Friday afternoon. And yeah, if you want to support
00:02:52
the channel, as always, there's the coffee mug in the bottom, I
00:02:55
did Spruce it up. It's a lot brighter than this
00:02:58
one. This was the original one.
00:02:59
And I got comments that this was too dark, and I'll grade is a
00:03:03
little dark. The new one is a lot brighter.
00:03:07
It pops a little bit more as a little bit bigger.
00:03:08
So, If you're looking to get yourself a cop, California
00:03:13
underground coffee mug to support the channel.
00:03:15
Like, I say, all of the money that I get from this, or from
00:03:19
anything goes, right, directly back into the channel will
00:03:22
looking at kind of Studio space and stuff like that, how we can
00:03:26
really grow the platform to make it a lot bigger, and just create
00:03:29
more conversations in California in general.
00:03:32
I mean, I know we talked a lot about politics but I'm sorry.
00:03:35
I think there might be a people who are just looking for places
00:03:37
to go to talk about California and how weird California is.
00:03:41
And how off the rails it is. And just bring a lot of people
00:03:44
together, not necessarily always about politics, but politics is
00:03:47
usually behind why California. So, kooky and crazy.
00:03:51
But yeah, there's also the new shirt, the stop brownouts
00:03:56
support nuclear. That's also there and that's
00:04:00
about it. So let's get started talking
00:04:03
about this. This was in the New York Post.
00:04:05
It was reported in a couple different places but the New
00:04:07
York Post has a an article about really kind of breaking it down.
00:04:14
It talks about the study published by the committee to
00:04:16
unleash Prosperity, graded states, by comparing covid-19
00:04:19
outcomes based on the number or desk the economy and impact on
00:04:22
education. Overall the bottom 10 of the
00:04:25
studies report card were dominated by States that had the
00:04:28
most severe pandemic, lockdowns and were among the last to
00:04:31
finally reopen schools quote shutting down their economies
00:04:35
and schools was by far, the biggest mistake, Governors and
00:04:38
state officials made during covid.
00:04:41
In blue States, Stephen Moore, one of the study's authors and
00:04:44
co-founder of the committee to unleash Prosperity.
00:04:47
Now I looked into the committee to unleash Prosperity.
00:04:50
I don't know if it's just their website looks like it was built
00:04:52
in like 1997 or maybe they've been around since 1997 and
00:04:56
that's why their website looks like that.
00:04:58
But I always like to kind of look at who's conducting this
00:05:01
study to figure out, you know, is there like a biased or they
00:05:05
trying to just do this for one way or not?
00:05:06
I don't really see anything that kind of flag me.
00:05:08
I was like this is really something that they just created
00:05:10
this Foundation. Station.
00:05:11
And then they came out with this study because you gotta be
00:05:13
careful. There are studies and polls
00:05:15
conducted. I know this may shock you but
00:05:17
there are polls and studies that are conducted to show slant to
00:05:23
one way. So I said, what's the topic
00:05:26
today? A new study that came out
00:05:28
regarding covid policies. And that the blue States like
00:05:31
California, New Jersey and New York ranked at the bottom in the
00:05:34
red states did much better. So we're going to talk about
00:05:36
that and we're going to talk about Barry Weiss and her
00:05:38
article about how Shanghai is coming to Sacramento.
00:05:41
Of what? Where was I going with this?
00:05:47
I forgot now I'm no. So, is that I met?
00:05:50
Did it today and still, are they coming?
00:05:53
Oh, yes! So yeah, there are times that
00:05:56
you'll see a poll or a study, and this is just always my
00:06:00
advice because, you know me, I'm always someone who says, vet,
00:06:03
everything that you see that everything don't just take
00:06:06
everything at, like, face value and kind of always just dig deep
00:06:09
into it and there are Groups that will create polls and
00:06:12
they'll create studies to show one thing or the other.
00:06:15
And there will be another group that is funded by somebody or
00:06:18
they. Maybe they get federal dollars
00:06:19
and all of a sudden magically they come up with the result
00:06:22
that the federal government or the state government is looking
00:06:24
for. So always be careful.
00:06:26
I still like where you're getting a lot of this stuff from
00:06:28
I looked at I and it didn't really look like you know they
00:06:31
look like it was just created yesterday and that they just put
00:06:34
out this study, too kind of dunk on Blue States and be like,
00:06:38
look, red states are better and our policies are way better.
00:06:42
It looks like they've been around for a while it kind of
00:06:45
reminds me, there was a poll conducted here in San Diego.
00:06:48
By one of the the packs and I put packs and quote because it's
00:06:55
a loose term for what that pack is really doing where it showed
00:06:58
one candidate was leading another Camp, I'd like double
00:07:00
digits, but the methodology for polling was really really bad
00:07:04
and in fact that's not really true at all.
00:07:06
But because that was their favorite candidate and the one
00:07:08
that they endorsed the created a poll.
00:07:11
I'll wear. It looked a lot better than it
00:07:13
really was. And now, that Canada is running
00:07:16
around saying, oh, look, I'm up by double digits, but then you
00:07:18
look at the poll and you say, oh actually, it's not really good.
00:07:22
So, first lesson, always double-check where the work is
00:07:26
coming from double check, who's putting the stuff out there and
00:07:28
what their methodology is. Let's see, do do do, do my home.
00:07:34
State of New Jersey was the worst performing State.
00:07:37
The study found other places that also received an f grade
00:07:40
including For an Illinois, Washington.
00:07:42
D.c. all blue areas, deep blue areas.
00:07:47
Am I referring to the a d76 race?
00:07:51
Maybe, maybe I am San Diego Politics.
00:07:56
As a, you know, it's a big city, but it's somebody say it's a big
00:07:59
city, but it's a small town, San Diego.
00:08:01
So quote they had high adjusted death rates.
00:08:05
They had high unemployment significant GDP losses and they
00:08:08
kept their school shut down much longer than almost all there.
00:08:11
States, you Todd, Nebraska Vermont, in Florida, all
00:08:14
governed by Republicans, top the list, the study found the states
00:08:18
that lock down their businesses churches, schools and
00:08:21
restaurants for lengthy periods. Did not have a lower death rates
00:08:24
than those that largely remained open nursing home policies.
00:08:29
May explain the poor mortality rates in some states such as New
00:08:32
Jersey, New York were Cuomo faced backlash for an order that
00:08:35
directed nursing homes to take covid-19 patients.
00:08:38
Meanwhile in Florida. Whose GOP.
00:08:41
Governor DeSantis did away with covid restrictions earlier on in
00:08:44
the pandemic, ranked 28th, and mortality the study found in
00:08:47
comparison heavily lockdown California came in 27, so only
00:08:52
one position better than Florida, which for as much is
00:08:57
Newsom has been posting a lot about other states if you have
00:09:03
any doubts that he's setting himself up for a run for
00:09:05
president. So you just look at his Twitter.
00:09:07
His Twitter right now is basically him.
00:09:09
Critiquing all others. States.
00:09:11
He, he seems to just be obsessed with tweeting about other states
00:09:14
and what's going on and all the comments are people.
00:09:16
Like, we got problems here, bro, like you gotta fix the problems
00:09:21
here before you start planning your run for presidency.
00:09:25
Keeping schools. Closed had no impact on the
00:09:27
number of deaths in children or adults, according to the study
00:09:30
the states that lockdown. The economies have had
00:09:32
unemployment rates on average about two percentage points
00:09:35
higher than states. That did not engage in severe,
00:09:38
lockdowns. Hi State unemployment rates that
00:09:43
persisted for two years. Now, most lockdown states have
00:09:46
still not fully recovered, the jobs lost in the early months of
00:09:48
covid. Let's see, New York ranked 33rd
00:09:53
for the least impact education, second to last for its economic
00:09:56
performance. California is ranked 50th for
00:09:59
its education, disruption and 40th for the economy.
00:10:03
So California, keeping it schools closed.
00:10:06
No shocker there. Again, a lot of this stuff is
00:10:08
stuff that I think people who tuned in to this or have been
00:10:12
questioned this for about two years are sitting there going.
00:10:15
Well, yeah, like this is really, this is what we've been talking
00:10:20
Talking about for two years now like we've been trying to bring
00:10:23
this up now. The study is nice because it
00:10:26
does kind of give you a quantitative reason.
00:10:28
Say look at this study that showed that here are the numbers
00:10:30
and they can prove that, you know, Florida didn't do much
00:10:34
worse than California. Only one per one really position
00:10:37
worse 27 to 28 worse and mortality rate in terms of
00:10:42
economic performance and education.
00:10:43
You can see that red states did a lot better.
00:10:46
Then blue States like California, New Jersey, New
00:10:48
York, and Illinois. That's not stuff that I think is
00:10:52
really kind of shocking to. A lot of people who are probably
00:10:55
tuning in right now listening, they're probably not saying are
00:10:57
going home. Yeah, obviously, that's, that's
00:11:00
right. Like we all know that, but
00:11:03
that's the quantitative part of this is that it is out there
00:11:06
now. And I'm going to go into another
00:11:10
article, why it's kind of like why the timing is a little bit
00:11:13
interesting. And what that really, why is
00:11:17
this study so interesting right now.
00:11:19
So this was an article. Come from the New York Post.
00:11:21
I'll go ahead. And if you listen to the audio
00:11:23
podcast, I'll put the link in the show notes so you can go
00:11:26
look at this up your for yourself because there's another
00:11:30
article by Daily Mail which goes into much more in-depth.
00:11:34
It really actually breaks it down by big sections like the
00:11:36
economy mortality rate and all that stuff so you can really
00:11:39
dive into it and show graphs and all that stuff.
00:11:43
But here's why they pointed out why this study is sort of really
00:11:49
coming to light why it's important.
00:11:50
Right now, the study comes amid, fears coronavirus restrictions,
00:11:55
maybe phase back. And as Philadelphia announced,
00:11:58
it was bringing back. Its indoor Mass mandate only a
00:12:01
month after lifting it as covid cases.
00:12:03
Creep up. The Pennsylvania city will
00:12:07
remove its mass mandate or reimpose its mass mandate
00:12:10
starting on April 18th, Health commissioner Cheryl a bit.
00:12:14
It better goalie announced during a briefing, a few
00:12:18
officials also revealed covid cases had Jump to Dairy for this
00:12:22
in the city of Philadelphia city of millions of people 149 per
00:12:27
day. An 86% jump over the past two
00:12:32
weeks. So 149 per day 86% jump.
00:12:38
Now that's again, that's where they can play with percentages
00:12:44
and they can try to scare people because they can say all 86
00:12:47
percent jump in just the two weeks.
00:12:49
Well, what was the number of before then?
00:12:50
So obviously was pretty low fat. The jump was 249 per day, we're
00:12:54
not talking about, thousands of people are testing positive for
00:12:56
covid, 149, out of the sea. E of how many millions of
00:13:00
people, and how many people kind of going and public transit and
00:13:02
all that stuff. But I'm sure they will say,
00:13:06
like, oh, 86 percent, that's the big number.
00:13:09
That's really what, look at how scary that is.
00:13:12
And I always tell people, when you hear percentages, always
00:13:15
look at the raw numbers because They use percentages as a way to
00:13:21
kind of scare people or push their point a little bit better.
00:13:25
And my favorite example is, if you have one apple and then you
00:13:29
get to Apples, you can tell people, I had 100% increase in
00:13:33
my Apple possession, which is true.
00:13:35
You had a hundred percent increase in your Apple
00:13:37
percentage. It's not very if you told people
00:13:40
what I only have 2 apples, who will be like, well, that's not
00:13:42
that many apples. I don't really, I don't see what
00:13:45
you're trying to get at. So, percentage is always the
00:13:48
thing that if you look at it, they'll use it to scare people
00:13:51
and government. Officials love to throw out
00:13:53
percentages. They always love to say, things
00:13:57
went up by this percentage or that percentage.
00:14:00
And then when you say, well, whoa, give me the raw numbers.
00:14:03
They don't really want to talk about the raw numbers, but you
00:14:06
can look at a lot of stuff. And, you know, if they're
00:14:08
reporting is accurate. All of these sites, where they
00:14:10
give you the numbers, you can really see that.
00:14:12
A lot of these numbers aren't as scary as they make them out to
00:14:15
be. The city also, reported 46,
00:14:19
current hospitalizations 46 again in a city of not.
00:14:23
Well, this is going to bug me, so I'm gonna have to look it up
00:14:26
because I should have looked this up before the show, but
00:14:29
we're going to do this on the Fly and Bill O'Reilly's.
00:14:32
We're going to do it live. Phil Delphia apologies to anyone
00:14:39
who lives in Philadelphia because I'm not a fan of the
00:14:43
city and I'm not a fan of any of the sports teams.
00:14:46
That, you know, that's just that's just me.
00:14:49
So apologies to anyone is Philadelphia and I'm sure you're
00:14:52
a wonderful person but I don't like the Phillies.
00:14:56
I certainly don't like the eagles, I've nothing else to
00:14:59
fires. I don't really follow hockey or
00:15:01
the 76ers, I don't watch basketball but those two teams
00:15:03
right there, the Phillies Mets, had a really bad loss of the
00:15:07
Phillies the other night and that broke my heart.
00:15:09
So as of 2020, so this is a population.
00:15:14
Of 1.6 million people. There were 46 hospitalizations
00:15:18
and a city of 1.6 million out anyone.
00:15:25
Do the math on how? What, percentage 46 of 1.6
00:15:29
million is and how many there's probably so many other things
00:15:32
that are happening in Philadelphia that are causing
00:15:34
hospitalizations. It's amazing that they're
00:15:38
changing their entire lives just because of this.
00:15:42
So the Philadelphia Public Health said on Twitter, Monday,
00:15:44
the city will now enter level to mask precautions as triggered by
00:15:48
the recent increase in cases. What is there?
00:15:51
What? I wonder what the trigger is.
00:15:52
For Philadelphia that this this little amount was what triggered
00:15:58
them to go back into Mass to me. It seems like what you're covid.
00:16:02
Policy must be zero because if it's only 46% hospitalization
00:16:07
and this triggered, you rushing bass back to mass and indoor
00:16:10
places your, you must have a covid, 0 policy.
00:16:14
Is unattainable unattainable and it's not realistic and it's not
00:16:18
scientific to believe covid. There will ever be covid 0 after
00:16:22
a week to adjust all indoor public places, like schools
00:16:25
businesses restaurants, and government buildings will be
00:16:27
required, to use masking indoors, Jim Kenney mayor of
00:16:31
Philadelphia said, Philadelphia's covid-19 response
00:16:35
levels allows us to be clear transparent and predictable in
00:16:39
our response to local condition given the rising cases were
00:16:43
moving to level two on April 18th to prevent higher case
00:16:47
rates. Our city remains open, we can
00:16:50
still go about our daily lives and visit the people and places
00:16:53
we love while masking in indoor public spaces.
00:16:57
I don't know if that's what he sounds like but that's my that's
00:17:00
going to be my imitation of him. But case figures are not
00:17:03
considered to be a reliable metric when judging the state of
00:17:06
the pandemic by many federal officials, so Philadelphia, not
00:17:10
following the science. Where you at Philadelphia.
00:17:12
Now following the science City of Brotherly Love not following
00:17:15
the science. The Centers for Disease Control
00:17:17
and prevention changed its metrics earlier this year now,
00:17:21
valuing hospitalizations over all else when recommending Mass
00:17:24
orders on certain populations. According to see you see
00:17:28
Philadelphia County which includes the city is one of the
00:17:30
95% of counties considered to have low covid risk and not
00:17:35
recommended to wear masks and doors.
00:17:37
So looks like they're going against this.
00:17:41
Hence according to the CDC which was treated as all, holy and
00:17:46
all-powerful and all-knowing and infallible Philadelphia is going
00:17:50
against the science and they're going back to mass and doors
00:17:54
Anthony fauci. Everyone's favorite Anthony
00:17:58
fauci. Dr. Fauci.
00:18:00
The top infectious disease expert said this week Americans
00:18:04
should decide for themselves how they want to deal with the
00:18:07
pandemic, going forward. Based on the amount of risk,
00:18:10
they are willing. NG to accept.
00:18:13
He told ABC's this week on Sunday.
00:18:16
Let me take my drink. Hold on.
00:18:21
Clear My Throat day, I will be and we've said many times even
00:18:27
in our own discussions between you and I that there will be a
00:18:31
level of infection. This is not going to be
00:18:34
eradicated and it's not going to be eliminated.
00:18:37
And what's going to happen is that we're going to see each
00:18:40
individual is going to have to make the calculation on the
00:18:43
amount of risk that they want to take in going to endure dinners
00:18:48
and in going to functions. That was dr.
00:18:52
Fauci. Kobe cases are starting to rise
00:18:56
once again. In parts of the US after nearly
00:18:58
three months of declines coming off of the mass of winter
00:19:00
Omicron surge but Health officials say it's not a cause
00:19:04
for concern because hospitalizations and deaths,
00:19:06
remain low dr. A shisha Zhao the White House,
00:19:11
coronavirus. Response coordinator who also
00:19:14
served as the dean of the Brownie, and a little ball Baba,
00:19:16
who cares? So that despite recent case
00:19:20
Rises and more than half of the US states Americans don't have
00:19:23
reason to be excessively concerned about the current
00:19:25
pandemic situation. Why?
00:19:27
Because the pandemic is not good polling for Democrats right now.
00:19:32
So got to protect the administration according to the
00:19:36
most recent data daily covid rate cases have increased over
00:19:39
the past two weeks and 26. US states cases are increasing
00:19:42
Nationwide as well with that of from Friday April 24th average
00:19:45
of thirty six thousand daily infections at 25.
00:19:48
A percent jump from the previous week 36.
00:19:53
In a country of over 300 million, people 36 remember,
00:20:01
25 percent jump, remember that? That number we're all case
00:20:05
figures are not particularly High though.
00:20:07
And jaw also says a hospitalizations are currently
00:20:09
the lowest they've been at any point in the pandemic.
00:20:12
Sounds good, right? I mean that's the point.
00:20:14
We all kind of agree that hospitalizations and deaths were
00:20:17
really the thing that we should be looking at the hospitals.
00:20:20
I mean, let's let's get away in the Wayback machine.
00:20:24
If you're old enough like me to remember back in March of 2020,
00:20:28
that the reason this all started was because we didn't want to
00:20:32
overwhelm the Healthcare System, right?
00:20:35
That was the whole reason for why we did what we did.
00:20:40
So, it would make sense that we should.
00:20:42
Really be looking at. Hospitalizations and making sure
00:20:48
that we are not overwhelming, the Health Care system.
00:20:52
And if it looks like the raw numbers are showing now
00:20:54
Philadelphia at 46, 46 in a city of 1.6 million 46 people across
00:21:00
the city, went to the hospital because of covid.
00:21:03
That's what we should be looking at.
00:21:07
That's really what we should be focusing on. but, Philadelphia
00:21:13
doesn't seem to really want to look at it that way.
00:21:15
They see it as cases. And so which is it.
00:21:19
And I know we've asked this question a hundred times.
00:21:22
Plenty of people have asked this question, a hundred times.
00:21:26
And where do we go from? Here, is really I thought in the
00:21:31
beginning, I thought that they wouldn't reimpose a lot of this
00:21:33
stuff. I thought that we were kind of
00:21:35
done with it. I thought that it was bad
00:21:38
politics that they didn't want to go.
00:21:40
They wanted to kind of do there. Victory lap, that Biden was
00:21:43
going to do his Victory lap and say we beat the pandemic.
00:21:45
Democrats were going to take credit for beating the pandemic
00:21:49
even though the pandemic was going to do, what the pandemic
00:21:52
was going to do anyway because that's what science is a virus.
00:21:54
Doesn't give two craps about what's going on in the politics
00:21:57
or it doesn't give two craps about what's happening in the
00:22:00
midterms. It's not like the virus is gone.
00:22:03
Well it's the midterms and I want to make sure I support Joe
00:22:06
Biden. So I'm going to go received for
00:22:08
a little bit but in reality. After we went back to the 2nd
00:22:15
Mass mandate here in California, once we reopen and and he had
00:22:20
that whole noodles, had that whole big ceremony with the
00:22:24
minions at Universal Studios. I guess Disney was busy that day
00:22:27
to want have noodles there because he had to go to
00:22:31
Universal Studios. No, offense to people go to
00:22:33
Universal Studios, but it's the Lesser theme park and he had
00:22:38
this whole big thing. We're back in.
00:22:39
California is open and here's me juggling.
00:22:41
And here's the minions and look at all this great stuff and
00:22:44
we're back baby. And then we went back to mass
00:22:47
mandates and people were like, wait a second.
00:22:49
I thought we were we were past this so now I don't think I'd
00:22:54
put it past them that they are not going to just keep doing
00:22:57
this over and over again. The amount of complacency I
00:23:00
don't know whether people are going to do it or not.
00:23:03
I think after the second time I saw a lot more people, not
00:23:06
really responding to it. It's all a lot of people who
00:23:09
weren't listening to them as mandate.
00:23:10
I saw a lot of businesses that And enforcing them as mandate.
00:23:13
So I don't know if you went about third time, third time
00:23:17
might be going to the well, one too many times and Universal
00:23:23
Studios has a great date milk, milk shake.
00:23:26
Yeah, I'm sure it's fantastic. Although people are kind of like
00:23:28
in the comments people are, let me know that date milkshakes are
00:23:32
either disgusting or they're really, really good.
00:23:36
And I don't know, you can let me know in the comments whether you
00:23:39
think date milkshakes are really good.
00:23:40
It for anybody who's listening Has no idea what I'm talking
00:23:42
about. There was a post about one of
00:23:45
the assemblyman Eduardo Garcia is pushing for the date, Shake,
00:23:52
which when you say it quickly doesn't sound, right?
00:23:56
But it sounds weird but he wants to make it a date, Shake as the
00:24:00
official state milkshake. So, Your tax dollars hard at
00:24:05
work. Let's see where I want to finish
00:24:08
this up and then we can get into the Barry Weiss article.
00:24:14
Dr. Fauci also said, Americans will have to start to decide for
00:24:18
themselves how they would like to live with the virus and that
00:24:21
it could not be eradicated. Whoa, groundbreaking 400 dr.
00:24:25
Fauci to say something like that.
00:24:30
It did it did he has more stuff. It is incredibly contagious.
00:24:35
Even more contagious than the original sub variant of Omicron
00:24:38
and it caused the substantial spike in cases in Europe.
00:24:43
He told Morning Joe referring like a spike and we'll go on it
00:24:47
but I don't want to keep talking about it because you can go
00:24:49
check out the article for yourself.
00:24:50
It's on daily. It's a really, really long
00:24:52
article, but it's really in-depth talking about basically
00:24:56
looking back and hopefully we learn from it.
00:25:00
I don't know if we are learning from it.
00:25:02
I think the only thing that politicians have learned from it
00:25:04
is that they can use it as a cudgel and a sword to chop up
00:25:09
your rights and limit your freedoms.
00:25:11
And this brings me to really kind of the next point that I
00:25:15
want to talk about. Now, I've mentioned on this show
00:25:17
before that, a lot of people say that China wants to take over
00:25:22
the United States. I don't necessarily think China
00:25:26
wants to take over the United States.
00:25:29
And that's my personal opinion. I don't think China really wants
00:25:32
to take over the United States. I think they can benefit from
00:25:35
having some sort of power over the United States and and having
00:25:38
that sort of relationship. But I also think that they don't
00:25:43
really want to take a ring United States.
00:25:45
However, I think there are a lot of politicians who go to China
00:25:49
and look at their style of government and say, hmm.
00:25:53
How can we get what you're doing over here?
00:25:57
Basically they're saying look, I love what you're doing with the
00:26:01
place, please. Can you show us how we can do it
00:26:05
over here in the United States? Because these pesky like
00:26:07
constitutional rights, really, really just getting in the way
00:26:12
of us. Getting our goals done and
00:26:14
making the most amount of money as possible.
00:26:18
And that's really what I think is going on here.
00:26:21
I don't think trying to watch. It's the one day, all of a
00:26:24
sudden become, you know, like Annex America as a another
00:26:30
territory like that. But I think there are
00:26:33
politicians who from the inside want to implement the Chinese
00:26:36
style of government. And I've also said this before,
00:26:39
I don't think China is necessarily a communist country.
00:26:42
I think they wanted the Communists governance.
00:26:45
They wanted that style of governance, but they didn't want
00:26:48
the Communist economy because they are still very capitalistic
00:26:52
economy. As you can see, why we kind of
00:26:55
cater to them all the time and worry about what they think
00:26:58
about our movies or anything like that.
00:27:00
And they care we care about what whether they like the NBA or
00:27:04
not. Like those are things that I
00:27:07
don't think, we'd they really want a communist style economy,
00:27:10
you know, where we share everything and the state kind of
00:27:12
runs everything. I think they just want
00:27:16
totalitarianism. And again, I think that's stuff
00:27:19
that our officials here. Who don't want to talk about the
00:27:25
human rights abuses over in China and don't really have
00:27:29
anything to say bad about China. Whenever that happened whenever
00:27:33
anything happens. They're just trying to implement
00:27:39
their own style and this article by Barry Weiss.
00:27:43
Let me pull this up real quick. It's in.
00:27:47
I hear what you have. So many tabs open the title of,
00:27:52
it was talking about a warning from Shanghai and if you've seen
00:27:56
the videos from Shanghai, they are distressing.
00:28:00
I think my tweet this morning basically sums it up that the
00:28:04
human rights abuses going on in China.
00:28:08
Are the things that America used to invade countries over or at
00:28:13
least used as a justification to invade countries over.
00:28:16
It may not have been really why they were invading.
00:28:19
It could be invading for a number of reasons, they could be
00:28:21
invading because well they want the oil or something like that,
00:28:25
but they may say that we want to invade because we want to help
00:28:30
preserve human rights but that seems to not really be the case
00:28:36
when it comes to China. And what's going on in Shanghai.
00:28:40
The videos are really disturbing.
00:28:42
People's pets are being taken away because you can't walk your
00:28:45
pets outside. I don't know what you do with
00:28:47
pets when they're locked inside, all the time with you and you
00:28:50
can't go out unless you want to figure out how to teach your dog
00:28:54
or cat to go potty in the toilet.
00:28:57
I don't know what you expect to do with them, you know?
00:29:00
It's just awful. I posted a video about people
00:29:03
screaming from their skyscrapers because they're hungry and
00:29:06
there's no food and they can't go to the store.
00:29:08
You can't do anything. And yeah, I saw the video about
00:29:11
cats and bags and all that stuff.
00:29:14
It's terrifying. It's terrifying to think that
00:29:17
there's a place in this world that we are.
00:29:20
As a as America are just really we're fine with it.
00:29:25
I guess our leaders are fine with.
00:29:26
I don't think the people are fine with.
00:29:28
I think the people see these videos and go, this is a little
00:29:31
screwed out as little effed up but our leaders obviously don't
00:29:35
want to talk about it. You know, ask Nancy Pelosi Or
00:29:38
ask anybody about it. They don't seem to really care
00:29:42
about what's going on over in Shanghai.
00:29:45
And the fact that they don't shows you that one, they have a
00:29:49
financial interest in keeping China happy, which is true.
00:29:53
They want to make sure China's happy because China buys a lot
00:29:55
of our stuff. And a lot of times, all these
00:29:58
politicians are negotiating deals with China and they're
00:30:01
passing laws that benefit China and then they get a kickback
00:30:03
and, you know, it all goes round and round and round and the
00:30:06
Cesspool of corruption. In Washington DC, but I think
00:30:11
they also want a that style of governance here.
00:30:16
I think they think they can somehow get that to be the issue
00:30:20
here, where they basically turn all Americans into just tax
00:30:25
cattle where we don't have rights.
00:30:26
Where we're just here we work, we pay exorbitant amount of
00:30:30
taxes. They live high on the hog, Nancy
00:30:33
Pelosi eats out of over 30, dollar fridge, and freezer.
00:30:38
And that's it. The elites basically continue to
00:30:42
move on and live the way they want to even better than before.
00:30:46
The rest of us are tax cattle, we can't afford a house.
00:30:48
We can't afford the American dream anymore and I think that's
00:30:51
what they basically want. And there was a really good
00:30:54
podcast. I had a while back.
00:30:57
I'd have to remember the number but there was a good discussion
00:31:00
at a guest on. We talked about China's
00:31:03
influence on California and we talked all about this and how
00:31:07
there. Politicians who go to China and
00:31:09
say, like, can you give us lessons on how we, how can we
00:31:14
implement this stuff here in the United States?
00:31:18
And how can we get more of your style governance here in the
00:31:21
United States? But it's coming to Sacramento.
00:31:27
We've talked about this on the prior podcast two weeks ago.
00:31:30
We had a kind of legislative Roundup was assembly Bill 2098
00:31:36
and this is from Barry Weiss's Op-ed Corner, California
00:31:39
Assembly, Bill, 2098, Physicians, who deviate from an
00:31:43
authorized set of beliefs would do so at the risk of their
00:31:46
medical license, the bill written by assemblyman Evan low,
00:31:50
a democrat in Silicon Valley, no shocker.
00:31:52
Usually all these bills. You could bet your house on the
00:31:55
fact that if it's a crazy crazy bill that you look at, it's a
00:31:59
good chance that it comes from the Bay Area outside of the
00:32:02
milkshake. The milkshake came from
00:32:03
Coachella Valley, that had nothing to do with the Bay Area
00:32:07
currently It's where the California legislature is
00:32:09
motivated by the idea that practicing doctors are spreading
00:32:12
quote, misinformation about the risks of kovin, it's treatment
00:32:16
and the covid vaccine, it declares that Physicians and
00:32:19
surgeons Who quote, disseminate or permit promote
00:32:22
misinformation, disinformation related to covid, including
00:32:25
false, or misleading information regarding the nature and risks
00:32:28
of the virus, it's prevention and its treatment and the
00:32:31
development safety and effectiveness of covid.
00:32:33
Vaccines shall be subject to disciplinary action, which could
00:32:36
result in the loss of The doctor's license, the language
00:32:40
of the bill itself is intentionally vague about what
00:32:43
constitutes quote misinformation, which makes it
00:32:46
makes it even more damaging doctors, fearing loss of their
00:32:50
livelihoods will need to Hew closely to the government line
00:32:53
on covid science and policy. Even if that line does not track
00:32:57
the scientific evidence. After all until recently top
00:33:00
government science bureaucrats like dr.
00:33:02
Fauci clean out. The idea that covid came from a
00:33:04
Wu Han laboratory was a conspiracy theory.
00:33:07
Rather than a valid hypothesis, that should be open to
00:33:10
discussion. The government's track record on
00:33:12
Discerning covid truce is poor. The bill claims that the spread
00:33:17
of misinformation by positions about the covid.
00:33:19
Vaccines quote has weakened public confidence in place lives
00:33:22
at serious risk and quote but how significant is his problem?
00:33:25
Reality over 83%, California's over the age of 50 are fully
00:33:29
vaccinated including the booster.
00:33:33
What is abundantly clear is that this bill represents a chilling
00:33:36
interference with the practice of medicine, the bill itself is
00:33:40
full of misinformation and a demonstration of what a
00:33:42
disaster. It would be to have the
00:33:43
legislature, dictate the practice of medicine.
00:33:49
I'm gonna take a sip of coffee real quick.
00:33:53
I think that dr. Fauci voice makes your voice
00:33:55
scratchy. There's Bill directs,
00:33:58
California, State, Licensing, Board, and impose disciplinary
00:34:00
penalties, which could result in the loss of a medical license on
00:34:04
Physicians who disseminate misinformation.
00:34:07
A loss of a license would be a career-ending for doctors who
00:34:09
spend their lives caring for patients.
00:34:12
But since the examples site in the bill are themselves
00:34:14
misleading, even Physicians, who practice medicine responsibly or
00:34:18
give public presentations grounded and solid scientific
00:34:21
research on. Evolving covid science May face
00:34:24
unjust license suspensions. Going on going on Dudu history
00:34:32
provides abundant examples of what happens when the state
00:34:35
regulates science in the former Soviet Union.
00:34:37
Stalin's favorite Genesis geneticist trofim lysenko lie.
00:34:43
Senko dominated biology and the agricultural Sciences lie.
00:34:47
Senko rejected mendelian genetics.
00:34:49
In favor of his own theory that plants could inherit acquired
00:34:52
current characteristics, Stalin empowered him to destroy the
00:34:55
careers and lives of geneticist who Was them causing many to
00:34:59
suffer, secret arrest, and even death when the theories failed.
00:35:02
The consequences was mass starvation in Russia.
00:35:06
The Chinese Communist also adopted his belief at the cost
00:35:08
of starvation of 30 million people.
00:35:11
We are not the Soviet Union, of course, Nora, we ruled by giant
00:35:14
Chinese Communist. California, lawmakers,
00:35:16
thankfully do not have the power currently being exercised in
00:35:19
Shanghai, but this bill follows the same dangerous principle
00:35:22
that government, authorized science would permit.
00:35:25
No opposition from people with the credentials and knowledge,
00:35:28
To oppose it. The false medical consensus.
00:35:30
Enforced by a bee 2098, will lead doctors to censor
00:35:33
themselves to avoid government-sanctioned and it
00:35:36
will be their patients above all, who will be harmed by their
00:35:39
silence. So that was Barry Weiss talking
00:35:43
out about this bill. A be 2098, I think, the last
00:35:46
time we wait, we looked at was making its way through committee
00:35:50
still has legs at this point. I think it's a duck, it seven
00:35:53
low and I think co-author is dr. Richard Pan.
00:35:58
One of our favorites. We're going to do this alive
00:36:01
again. Check this out where it is.
00:36:05
Do do, do do. And then we'll move into the
00:36:10
comment section or where we what people want to chat about
00:36:14
assembly member low. Co-authors a gear.
00:36:19
Curry, a Killa Webber in Wicks and co-author Center, pans and
00:36:23
waiter, of course, pan and wiener wiener pan.
00:36:27
That's just a funny name wiener pan.
00:36:29
Is they always seem to be at the center of all this stuff.
00:36:32
So, let's see where it is right now.
00:36:37
As of February 24th, it was referred to the committee on
00:36:40
business and professions that was a while ago.
00:36:42
So I don't know where it's at or if it's losing steam, but the
00:36:46
fact that this was even introduced in California's is
00:36:49
scary and it should be a wake-up call to a lot of people that
00:36:53
Shanghai is not as far as you think, it is Shanghai and their
00:36:58
policies are closer because there are people who are Pushing
00:37:04
these policies and they look at China and go.
00:37:07
Hmm, I think we could do that here in California.
00:37:10
Let's give it a shot and a lot of these things are very 1984
00:37:15
ish. They are very obviously
00:37:18
orwellian. They're very authoritarian
00:37:22
obviously controlling truth and what is misinformation as
00:37:25
opposed to letting people just discuss what's best because
00:37:28
there's this old saying, I'd like to get a second opinion.
00:37:31
Remember that when you said like oh, I'd like to get a second
00:37:33
opinion. Meaning you go to another doctor
00:37:37
because they probably have a different opinion.
00:37:39
And if they have the same opinion, then you can say, all
00:37:41
go back to my first doctor. But if you get the second
00:37:43
opinion, that used to be a thing, I remember, you were
00:37:46
allowed to have a second opinion.
00:37:48
I guess not so much as doctors Hearing in California.
00:37:51
And she does talk about how in the article that she's had
00:37:53
colleagues from Stanford who believed a lot.
00:37:57
What she's saying, because she's out there, she's sort of out on
00:37:59
the ledge doing this herself. And basically, they said, look,
00:38:03
I'm on, Tenured. I'm a junior faculty member.
00:38:05
I'm not going to speak up about this stuff because I want to get
00:38:08
tenured and I have a vested interest.
00:38:10
I put my whole life into this study, I don't want to lose
00:38:14
everything for this and you're going to see it.
00:38:16
You're gonna see a lot of. I mean there's I think Jeffrey
00:38:18
Burke dr. Jeffrey Burke.
00:38:19
I think that's his name up in Orange County.
00:38:21
He's one of the most proponent biggest proponents who's always
00:38:25
out there talking about against the covid policies.
00:38:27
He would probably be like Public Enemy.
00:38:30
Number One, if this bill passed because you would have I have
00:38:35
essentially him going they'd have all this data, all these
00:38:38
videos and stuff about him going against.
00:38:41
What their line of Truth is and they would say well you're
00:38:44
spreading misinformation. So we're going to put you two in
00:38:46
front of the disciplinary board and you're going to lose your
00:38:49
license so it's scary. So yeah, we want a little Co bit
00:38:54
heavy today, but that's sort of what's in the news.
00:38:56
Right now. Noodles just got back from
00:38:59
Central America. His I guess, 14 day trip, you
00:39:02
went to Costa Rica, no problem. Babe, don't worry about it, you
00:39:04
know, California's falling apart homelessness is crazy but sure,
00:39:10
go to Costa Rica and make it a big deal.
00:39:13
All right, so we got about 15 minutes left.
00:39:17
If anybody has any comments or questions or things you want to
00:39:20
talk about, now is the time to bring those up.
00:39:25
Wish he stayed there. Yeah, I think a lot of people
00:39:27
kind of wish he stayed there, but somebody asked before, do I
00:39:31
really think he has a shot at the presidency?
00:39:37
I'll get to that question in a second.
00:39:39
First off pan is termed out, so he doesn't really have a
00:39:42
challenger Michael. I'm sure Michael Wang.
00:39:46
MD is another Democrat from his area and probably pushes the
00:39:50
same exact stuff. But someone had asked whether or
00:39:54
not, I believe that noodles can actually make it as president.
00:40:00
And here's my thought on that. I don't think he really knows if
00:40:05
he can become I'm president I don't think he has the shot to
00:40:07
become president. I don't think a lot of people
00:40:09
look at California go. Yeah the way they run
00:40:12
California. That's how I want to do it here
00:40:13
especially in swing states that are you know lost by a
00:40:16
percentage point that are really, really close.
00:40:19
I don't think there's a lot of people in those Independence in
00:40:22
those areas where Look at California up and I don't want
00:40:25
that style of governance here. I don't think in Arizona, he'd
00:40:28
be able to flip Arizona. I don't think he'd be able to
00:40:30
flip. I'm trying.
00:40:32
Another big swing States. In Georgia now is a swing state.
00:40:38
Ohio, he wouldn't be able to flip, I think a lot of people
00:40:41
would look at him and go. He's California, I don't want I
00:40:43
want any part of it but the reason I think he wants to run
00:40:46
is because to him, it's the next.
00:40:48
It's the next thing that he wants to accomplish.
00:40:51
Because for Gavin, Newsom, his whole life has never really been
00:40:54
about actually doing anything with the positions that he's in.
00:40:59
He's kind of made his trajectory and we all kind of can see his
00:41:03
trajectory He was County supervisor and then he was the
00:41:09
mayor of Danny was the mayor of San Francisco?
00:41:14
And then for mayor of San Francisco, I think people sort
00:41:16
of already knew, he was kind of in the running to be governor.
00:41:19
And that everyone kind of had this feeling he was going to be
00:41:21
Governor, but then he went to, he tried to run for Governor.
00:41:27
Jerry Brown stepped in. He became a lieutenant governor.
00:41:29
Now, he's governor. And, but after that, where do
00:41:35
you go? Oh, you can't really go anywhere
00:41:36
else unless he appoints himself Senator.
00:41:39
But that feels like a step back to go from Governor to Senator.
00:41:43
So I think his next thought is that, it's the next Brass Ring.
00:41:45
He's got to go, grab is go become try and become president.
00:41:49
I don't think he has a shot at winning, not in today's
00:41:51
political climate so I don't heed.
00:41:56
I don't think he has a shot at winning, but I think he will
00:41:59
definitely try and try and run. Michael J Hwang for California
00:42:06
State. Senate God country Liberty and
00:42:08
respect doesn't sound like a Democrat.
00:42:10
Let's restore our Liberty. It's time to restore our medical
00:42:13
freedom and fight for your right to protect our children citizens
00:42:16
from tyranny. I'll be on a represent.
00:42:19
You as your state, senator to defend our Constitution and
00:42:22
Liberties. He's got an uphill, battle pans
00:42:24
district is I believe is very, very liberal, so probably not
00:42:30
the best, right out the gate, but Hayes You know, he's got
00:42:34
his, he's got what, you know, that's what he believes in.
00:42:38
Go for it, man. California State Senate, did it
00:42:44
do. I'm trying to see specifically
00:42:47
where he's he's running, but yeah, he's not challenging dr.
00:42:51
Pan because dr. Pan is, he's turned out so came.
00:42:58
I give me the number of this. Where is this?
00:43:01
Where is he running here? Because I can look, This up on
00:43:04
ballotpedia and see what the breakdown is.
00:43:08
I could actually just got about PD right now and figure it out
00:43:12
about PDA. Do do do.
00:43:17
That's a bummer pans. Got to go think anyone says that
00:43:21
it's a bummer that dr. Richard pan has to go Richard
00:43:26
pan. I'm in pants District.
00:43:27
I've had people walk up to me and compliment my grand style
00:43:30
shirt so maybe not as liberal as people think senate seat.
00:43:33
District, 6, thank you. There we go.
00:43:36
All right. It's a lot to remember.
00:43:39
So I know there's a lot of did. It's a big state after the boc
00:43:45
BOS being served last week? Is it going to lead anything?
00:43:48
What were they served with? They were sure it was something
00:43:51
I saw the video. I don't really know what they
00:43:52
were served with. Was it a lawsuit or something?
00:43:59
Let's see make about a hundred fourteen thousand dollars a
00:44:01
year, Senator pan, two hundred dollars a day per diem that adds
00:44:08
up. You know if someone gave you
00:44:09
$200 a day to kind of do what you want with it because it's a
00:44:15
per diem that does add up after a while.
00:44:19
I think Kevin Kylie is one of the only legislature legislators
00:44:23
who doesn't actually take his per diem.
00:44:25
How much is 2011 $211 / burn Times by 365.
00:44:38
Oh, okay, it's a 77 thousand dollars.
00:44:41
Well, probably less because they probably only give you it,
00:44:44
during the five business days. Do, let's see, the race, the
00:44:49
pass phrase, Michael Hwang. Okay.
00:44:54
So there's actually two Republicans, rhyme, Michael
00:44:57
Wang, Roger and yellow, and a Democrat.
00:45:01
And that's the primary is right now.
00:45:03
It's two Republicans. So Right now, there will
00:45:07
actually, if there's two Republicans and one Democrat and
00:45:10
it's the primary election right now, in this Senate District,
00:45:15
there's a chance, you'll get a, there's a good chance.
00:45:17
You'll, you'll actually you'll get a republican because it's,
00:45:20
you're going to get at least one Republican on the ballot for the
00:45:23
Senate District. I don't know if anyone else is
00:45:25
planning to jump in, right now. Let's see.
00:45:28
Paula Maria Vasquez at large are the San San Juan Unified Board
00:45:34
of Education. Running for.
00:45:36
So she's not looking assembly woman who's running for this,
00:45:40
but pan did win in 2018, with 70% of the vote against Eric
00:45:44
frame. Who's an independent Eric frame
00:45:47
running a couple times, but yeah, to give you an idea of,
00:45:55
oh, there's a little bit closer in that one race.
00:45:58
Interesting. Oh, a Libertarian ran in 2010,
00:46:02
but yeah, you'll get a I'm so if you're in the Senate District 6,
00:46:07
you will get a republican. So anyway, any other questions
00:46:11
comments stuff, people want to chat about.
00:46:14
Thank you to everybody who keeps adding the mug to their wish
00:46:16
list. Thank you very much.
00:46:20
Please let me know how it turns out.
00:46:23
When's the next Termino live Q&A Tremaine.
00:46:26
I wasn't reached out to me so I don't know.
00:46:29
I haven't I haven't really heard from his team so unless he's got
00:46:34
anything really new to say, since the last time.
00:46:39
I don't know. I there's a lot of other
00:46:41
candidates to get to, and I've said this before, I don't want
00:46:44
to just focus on the governor's race because that's that's
00:46:49
really not. It's about and and Governor is
00:46:53
not going to change anything. So it's really about the local
00:46:58
races. It's about assembly it's about
00:47:00
Senate. It's about your local school
00:47:02
boards and I'll say this until I'm blue in the face.
00:47:08
That's the stuff that really matters.
00:47:10
That's the stuff that really is. What's going to make a big
00:47:14
difference here. So you can focus on Governor.
00:47:18
You know I told you I've been following Michael shellenberger
00:47:21
a little bit more as highly recommend if you haven't
00:47:24
listened, check out his podcast with Joe Rogan a lot of good
00:47:29
Common Sense stuff. You know like hey just here's
00:47:32
our issues and here's how we can go forward, kind of refreshing.
00:47:36
So better question is when he's going to face the music and
00:47:39
debate Daniel Mercury you know the one he keeps stealing
00:47:42
material from. Whoo.
00:47:44
There's tea. Is there is there really T
00:47:47
between Daniel Mercury and Anthony Tremaine?
00:47:49
Oh, is this like a real Feud or is this something like Daniel
00:47:53
Mercury is trying to get going to believe there's a feud.
00:47:57
I haven't heard if there's a few to, or not between Daniel
00:47:59
Mercury and Anthony Jimena. It will be interesting though to
00:48:07
see how the convention goes, which is coming up this next
00:48:12
week, I believe. Right?
00:48:15
The only It was because I wanted to go and be there but will be
00:48:20
out of town. So there is zero Feud, okay?
00:48:25
I mean I hadn't heard anything so I didn't know there was a,
00:48:28
there was a feud between Daniel Mercury, Anthony Trevino.
00:48:31
Or it was sort of just if it was something that they were just
00:48:36
going to drumming up to create press.
00:48:41
So yeah, it'll be interesting to see who they get behind at the
00:48:45
Republican convention. Convention.
00:48:46
I fully expect they'll get behind Brian Dolly.
00:48:53
Yeah and that's that's basically I think they'll get behind Brian
00:48:57
Dolly, they'll get behind the establishment person and if
00:48:59
there's any if there's any indication who they're going to
00:49:03
go with, excuse me, if there's any indication of who the
00:49:07
California GOP is going to go with, just look at their
00:49:09
endorsement of Scott bow. I mean Scott bowed drop that
00:49:12
video guy is crooked as they come.
00:49:16
He's been an establishment bully for how many years?
00:49:18
I mean he's been the attack, dog for the establishment for
00:49:21
decades and he's been at the middle of a lot of really shady
00:49:25
stuff and the California GOP in the Orange County GOP was like,
00:49:29
yeah, he's our guy, let's go with that guy.
00:49:32
So if that gives you any idea of the California GOP, just
00:49:35
continues to frustrate me to the point where I just go.
00:49:37
I don't even know why anybody is a republican anymore in
00:49:40
California and they got and then I can imagine they sit around,
00:49:44
you know, Jessica Milan. Orson and her her probably a
00:49:47
bunch of yes, people around her cub.
00:49:50
You know, why are we, why are we not connecting with
00:49:52
Californians? I just don't get.
00:49:54
Why are we not? Why are we not doing better in
00:49:56
California? I'm in California, so bad and we
00:49:59
have so much material and so much opportunity to present a
00:50:03
better argument. Why are we just not doing
00:50:06
better? I don't know what, let's endorse
00:50:09
Scott bow. Okay, he's great.
00:50:14
Like Hawaii. I'd love to be a fly on the wall
00:50:16
and a lot of these meetings because a lot of times if you
00:50:19
ever go to a convention and you start to see the inner politics
00:50:23
and I've had conversations with candidates Offline that it it
00:50:27
basically is still the cowboy GOP and the Democrats are that
00:50:32
way to? It's just they're winning and
00:50:34
they're doing what they're supposed to do and California
00:50:36
GOP hasn't figured out that they should adapt.
00:50:40
Basically, it's adapter die. That it's still sort of like an
00:50:46
old boys club where it's basically a, there's a lot of
00:50:49
people who are threatened by change, they don't want to
00:50:52
change, they think everything's fantastic.
00:50:55
They think if they just keep doing, what they're doing,
00:50:57
people will all of a sudden magically wake up one day and
00:51:00
become a Republican and reality. That's not the case at all.
00:51:04
But, you know, they got someone like Jessa, come along
00:51:07
Patterson, who I don't have anything personal against.
00:51:10
I always have to say that I've never met her in person.
00:51:13
I've heard that she's a lovely woman and but she was an
00:51:19
Insider. She was an establishment pick,
00:51:22
she was in the, she had kind of worked her way up through the
00:51:26
California GOP in all the offices and all that stuff and
00:51:30
worked her way up and they picked her.
00:51:32
And it's been how many years since 2018 or whatever?
00:51:37
Well, 2018 was the race with Travis Allen.
00:51:40
So it was like a year or two later he ran for California GOP.
00:51:43
P. Chairman and they went with
00:51:46
Jessica Milan Paris and over Travis Allen and I don't blame
00:51:49
Travis Allen, he's just dropped out of politics probably cuz he
00:51:51
threw his hands in the air and said this is freaking
00:51:53
ridiculous. I can't do anything with this
00:51:55
party, California GOP needs to get some fresh perspective on.
00:52:00
What's really going on in California, I agree and it's
00:52:03
super frustrating. It is very, very frustrating and
00:52:09
what you gonna do. So, we'll see.
00:52:11
We'll see what happens next week at the convention.
00:52:13
I imagine they'll get behind Brian Dolly, and they'll endorse
00:52:17
him because he's there, you know, prototypical sort of pick
00:52:23
and that's, that's it. And you'll, hopefully, I don't,
00:52:27
you know, I'm rooting for a Michael shellenberger.
00:52:30
Gavin Newsom, runoff, few or race in November mostly, because
00:52:37
I think Brian Dolly hasn't brought anything to the table.
00:52:42
I mean, outside of the age, Red meat and stuff that he believes
00:52:46
people will get behind. I don't think he's really done
00:52:51
anything that really catches my eye.
00:52:53
So I know it's probably breaking news.
00:52:55
We were like, oh my gosh, you don't want a republican running,
00:52:58
what Republican really is going to give noodles a run for his
00:53:02
money. And again, I've always talked
00:53:04
about this. It's I don't care where you come
00:53:06
from. I want a blueprint candidate,
00:53:08
who is going to make the blueprint for how to run and win
00:53:12
in California and make things better here in?
00:53:14
In California. Like that's all I care about.
00:53:17
That's what I want to see. I want to see California, get
00:53:20
better. And if somebody else has better
00:53:23
ideas, then I'm going to go with the person who's better idea is
00:53:26
not because they have an r or D. Next Saturday, I'm going to go
00:53:30
hey look you have better ideas and that's the bottom line,
00:53:32
because the end of the day, I just wanted to get better.
00:53:35
I think a lot of people listening.
00:53:36
A lot of people tuning in right now are saying, I just wanted to
00:53:39
get better too. I just want it to die.
00:53:41
Want the craziness to stop and I want California to be.
00:53:44
It normal again, I want to be the state that I came here for.
00:53:49
I was raised here and that's what I want to come for.
00:53:53
And that's what I'm here to support.
00:53:57
So yeah, that's my thoughts. I don't know how we got on that
00:54:02
tangent, O'Daniel Mercury and Anthony's Romina.
00:54:06
Whether to people who won't be endorsed by the California GOP
00:54:10
are having a few because that doesn't really make a
00:54:12
difference. So my more Christian
00:54:16
conservative friends are looking at Shawn Burger really surprised
00:54:19
me. I mean his platform is, I mean,
00:54:23
I don't really want to get down to, you know, big theological
00:54:27
discussion right now. If you look at a lot of his
00:54:31
dances, a lot of his stances are compassionate.
00:54:34
And if you're talking about Christianity in the true really
00:54:36
kind of message of Christianity, it's about compassion for your
00:54:40
fellow man and caring about your fellow man and I think you look
00:54:46
at his plans and you look at what he wants to do and has, I
00:54:50
mean, his book, I want to do a book review on San Francisco San
00:54:53
Francisco, which I've been reading one of these days.
00:54:58
And yeah, it's you look at that. If you're a Christian, you look
00:55:01
as platform ago, that's that's the platform really.
00:55:04
That's that's it. So, all right, any final
00:55:09
comments or questions, doot-doot doot-doot.
00:55:19
Taking one, last sip of coffee. So hopefully we can get them on
00:55:24
it. Be great to have Michael on
00:55:28
schauberger. Make better coverage and
00:55:30
awareness campaigning probably. Yeah and we'll see I think even
00:55:39
if he loses I think again it's about that sort of blueprint
00:55:46
where people can go Look, he ran on these issues, and he proposed
00:55:51
these Solutions and they were popular with Californians and
00:55:57
the way he ran, his campaign looked like a path forward.
00:56:01
We should start to figure out how to push that path forward.
00:56:06
So I applaud him for trying to do something that, you know,
00:56:08
first one through the walls always bloodied and always gets
00:56:11
the worst the worst of it. But yeah.
00:56:16
So is idea. On trigger issues are rather
00:56:19
vague and don't really aligned on conservative values.
00:56:22
Well yeah, I mean he's a former Democrat.
00:56:23
He's he's come out and said that but he he's sort of the same way
00:56:29
that a lot of people say, well I didn't leave the Democratic
00:56:32
party, the Democratic party, left me.
00:56:34
His whole thing was it kind of got away from me to the point
00:56:39
where it got so far left and woke and all that stuff that
00:56:42
like I just couldn't do it anymore so now he's independent
00:56:46
but He's a blueprint. It's worth worth looking at so
00:56:50
we'll see where that goes. But in the meantime there's
00:56:54
still going to be a lot of people coming on the podcast,
00:56:56
who are where assembly Sanic running for these positions.
00:57:02
A lot of local California. I was glad to have Kelly on last
00:57:06
week Kelly Cardin, who is a Libertarian running for Kern
00:57:08
County Board of supervisor. So if you're out in Kern County,
00:57:11
definitely check them out. Definitely support him.
00:57:13
He's really running a Grassroots campaign, so make sure you if
00:57:17
you like what He had to say he's in your district and you want to
00:57:20
support him, definitely throw them, five 10, 20 bucks,
00:57:23
whatever you can do, it all helps, you know, you're not
00:57:27
getting the big backing from a huge political establishment
00:57:30
party with the libertarian party.
00:57:31
It's a lot of Grassroots, they're getting things together.
00:57:35
But yeah, a lot of candidates like that.
00:57:38
We're really just kind of saying, I'm stepping up, I'm
00:57:40
gonna do something because I'm tired of hearing, you know, I'm
00:57:44
to, I want to live here, I want to raise my kids here, so I'm
00:57:47
going to go out There and fight and do something about it.
00:57:49
So there's a lot of politician, a lot of a lot of candidates who
00:57:53
are lining up to talk on the podcast and I'm excited for all
00:57:57
of them. It's going to be a busy busy
