Every Wednesday I go live on Instagram at 9am to discuss California Politics...over coffee.
On this episode of Coffee and California Politics, I discuss the two most controversial rulings in the past week the carry and conceal case and the abortion case, and what effect it will have on California.

If you're a California, conservative a Libertarian, a
00:00:09
moderate Democrat. Believe in common sense, or just
00:00:12
a sane person. This is the political podcast
00:00:14
for you. It's the California underground
00:00:17
podcast. What's going on everybody?
00:00:21
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of coffee and California
00:00:24
politics. We have a lot to get to today.
00:00:28
A lot of stuff to talk about. As I said, we're going to do a
00:00:31
little bit of the breakdown of the scotus.
00:00:34
Ruling has been a wild week. Obviously with the Supreme Court
00:00:37
everyone, who's anybody probably knows what the heck is going on
00:00:40
right now. A lot of backlash.
00:00:41
Also from California and unsurprisingly or not
00:00:45
surprisingly it's been a wild week being turned upside.
00:00:50
Down the riots, the protest. Everything that's been happening
00:00:54
last night. I was able to join Ozzy from
00:00:57
trigger ology. We had a nice long discussion
00:01:00
about specifically what happened with the attorney general, which
00:01:03
I'll touch upon, but we did a more in-depth conversation about
00:01:07
that. So, if you want to check that
00:01:08
out, go over to his page trigger ology underscore f d.
00:01:12
He's a great follow. If you have any questions about
00:01:14
CCW or training or anything like that, he knows all the answers
00:01:18
so go check him out. Even I go.
00:01:20
Go and ask him questions when I have questions about some of
00:01:23
these to a issues and stuff like that and training in firearms
00:01:26
and all that stuff. So definitely go check it out if
00:01:28
you were able to, if you weren't able to tune in live last night,
00:01:33
it's up on his page. Probably, you know, we should do
00:01:36
more of those lives, you know, talked about doing more of the
00:01:39
cocktails in California politics.
00:01:43
But last night's, was sort of an impromptu because of what
00:01:46
happened and with the attorney general and releasing
00:01:49
information. And all that work to talk a
00:01:52
little bit about Roe v-- Wade, being overturned.
00:01:56
What that means how California is responding to that again, not
00:02:00
surprising California wants to bolster abortion rights here in
00:02:06
California. And yeah, there's a lot to get
00:02:10
to, and it's been a wild and crazy week tomorrow night.
00:02:14
We'll be lucky to. We are fortunate to have mayor,
00:02:17
Richard bayly, mayor of Coronado, will be joining the
00:02:20
The the podcast tomorrow night we're gonna be talking about a
00:02:23
lot of things dealing with Insider sort of baseball.
00:02:26
What happens on the inside, we're going to be talking
00:02:29
specifically about sandbag which is the San Diego Association of
00:02:33
governments and yeah we're going to talk about what happens in
00:02:37
their. We're going to ask him some
00:02:38
other questions. There's a lot of stuff.
00:02:39
I mean I'm sure you're not surprised that there's a lot of
00:02:42
stuff that happens behind the scenes when it comes to politics
00:02:45
and we're going to talk about all that stuff.
00:02:47
And then next week, I think we're going to have a Another
00:02:50
legislative round up because there's a lot of new stuff
00:02:52
that's come out. You know, from the last time we
00:02:56
had a legislative Roundup. We talked a lot about bills that
00:02:58
were out there where they are, what's going on with them, which
00:03:02
one's got booted, which ones didn't make it, which ones are
00:03:05
still trying to, like, churning through the system.
00:03:07
We're going to talk about those as well tomorrow night.
00:03:10
So, with that said, let's jump right into the two decisions.
00:03:16
I want to talk mostly about these two decisions because I
00:03:18
think those are the most controversial, Social decisions
00:03:21
that have garnered the most attention.
00:03:24
I mean, you can go through the whole supreme court docket.
00:03:26
And if you want to nerd out and you can pick all the different
00:03:30
Supreme Court rulings, you know, the not a lot of them are going
00:03:33
to get as much press. I don't think anyone is going to
00:03:35
get as much press as the Roe v-- Wade, the gun.
00:03:40
The New York firearm one that probably is a very close second
00:03:43
because everyone had a full 24-hour cycle to really ruminate
00:03:47
on what that meant and what Happening and then obviously
00:03:53
there was the Roe v-- Wade case. And I keep saying it's the Roe
00:03:56
v-- Wade case it really wasn't called a row v.
00:03:57
Wade case it wasn't like they just heard Roe v-- Wade.
00:04:00
Again, there was a case Dobbs V Jackson was the name of the
00:04:03
case. So if you're looking to actually
00:04:05
read the entire opinion, I've been reading it, keep in mind.
00:04:09
A lot of these cases are about 100 pages long when it comes to
00:04:13
an opinion. So I finally got through the
00:04:15
entire gun case, which I thought was very interesting.
00:04:20
Obviously Clarence Thomas did in an incredible job detailing.
00:04:23
Why our Second Amendment rights are not a second class, right?
00:04:28
And he goes through the whole history and goes through the
00:04:29
rationale and basically sets up even more importantly, I know
00:04:34
there were a lot of people who were very let down by the fact
00:04:38
that they thought that maybe it would go, they would go even
00:04:41
further in terms of the right to carry until right to carry out
00:04:48
side of the home. Maybe.
00:04:50
Make it constitutional carry across the nation.
00:04:52
But I will say this about the Supreme Court and the Supreme
00:04:57
Court rules on just like any other case, they're going to
00:05:01
rule on what case is in front of them.
00:05:03
And what are the facts in the question in front of them?
00:05:06
So specifically in this case and the New York Rifle and Pistol.
00:05:09
Association case the question was whether or not these two men
00:05:16
who edible hide for carry and conceal.
00:05:20
Had to prove good cause in the state of New York to get a
00:05:23
carrying concealed and that was the entire question, because
00:05:28
there are a lot of there are several States or more states
00:05:30
that are shall issue. Shall issue is basically you
00:05:33
apply for it. The sheriff shall issue mean
00:05:35
they're required to As Long as You Meet the licensing and
00:05:38
background and all that stuff there.
00:05:40
But there shouldn't be a good cause statement and California
00:05:45
is definitely one of those. California is one of those
00:05:46
States where there's levels of, which cow.
00:05:50
He asked for a good cause how much good cause do you need last
00:05:54
night on the live? We talked a lot about that, you
00:05:57
know, differences between like Marin County and like San Diego
00:05:59
County like San Diego County. We've been very lucky, thanks to
00:06:03
the hard work of the San Diego County.
00:06:04
Gun owners to push back on that and make it basically a shall
00:06:10
issue County there in his time. I spoke with the president of
00:06:14
the San Diego County, gun owners and he said, basically, in his
00:06:17
time there was only one person who was denied and then they
00:06:20
Taste it and then they got their permit anyway so it's basically
00:06:23
a shall issue. However there are other counties
00:06:28
like Marin County Los Angeles County, those counties that want
00:06:32
some sort of level of good cause that almost seems unattainable.
00:06:36
And that was really the question of what happened in the New York
00:06:39
case was is good, cause a constitutional requirement, is
00:06:46
it a constitutional limitation you can put on the Second
00:06:49
Amendment. Obviously, the court said, no,
00:06:51
the court said, no, that's not a good reason and because they're
00:06:55
good cause was so restrictive that you've basically eliminated
00:07:00
the person's right to carrying concealed outside the home.
00:07:04
Granted, this is the first time this is why it's a big deal and
00:07:08
there hasn't been a lot of Second Amendment cases that in
00:07:13
the real scope of things. There hasn't really been a lot
00:07:15
of Second Amendment cases. However, was obviously the first
00:07:18
one holler was regarding to District of Columbia.
00:07:22
There was a officer or someone who worked his private job was.
00:07:26
He was security for a federal building Heller.
00:07:30
Dick Heller was his name friend of the podcast.
00:07:33
He's coming, he's shown up and shown support the Heller
00:07:37
foundation. And he was apply, you want to
00:07:39
apply or get a firearm, just for his home just to have in his
00:07:43
house. This had nothing to do with
00:07:44
carrying concealed and the District of Columbia said, no,
00:07:46
you don't have the right to have a firearm inside your house.
00:07:50
Is that sound? Then the court came out said,
00:07:52
well yeah, obviously you have the right to have a firearm in
00:07:54
your house. Pretty open-ended Heller is a
00:07:57
really good case, then right after that there was McDonald vs
00:08:00
Chicago McDonald vs Chicago. Why that was important was
00:08:04
before that District of Columbia is just its own Federal
00:08:08
jurisdiction, so they ruled that.
00:08:09
Yes, in the federal jurisdiction of District Columbia, you can't
00:08:12
violate their second amendment rights McDonald.
00:08:16
What it did was it applied the Second Amendment to The entire
00:08:20
nation, meaning that the bill Incorporated basically through
00:08:24
the Fourteenth Amendment. And if any of this is getting
00:08:26
too wonky, you can just raise your hand and be like, I am so
00:08:29
lost. Can you explain that again?
00:08:31
Just let me know in the chat if you want me to slow down or
00:08:34
explain but I'm just giving you a little background as to why
00:08:36
this case is. So such a landmark case outside
00:08:40
of just the carrying concealed, why I think is going to be even
00:08:42
bigger moving down the line. So McDonald basically
00:08:47
Incorporated the Second Amendment as a right to the Its
00:08:50
meaning the states could not infringe upon your second
00:08:52
amendment rights, right? So that guarantee that everybody
00:08:56
can be allowed to buy firearms, handguns and have them in the
00:09:01
home. There hasn't been at these
00:09:04
decisions since then that was a long time ago, there was over 20
00:09:07
years ago, even Thomas and Kavanaugh.
00:09:10
And it's fitting that Thomas was the one who wrote the opinion.
00:09:14
Because several years ago, he and Cavanaugh came out and said
00:09:18
we're upset that. There hasn't been any real
00:09:22
movement on Second Amendment jurisprudence since Heller and
00:09:26
McDonald and they're basically how we haven't heard a case on
00:09:29
the second amendment in decades basically.
00:09:33
And this is one of those ways that Supreme Court Justices can
00:09:37
kind of signal to attorneys on the ground and organizations on
00:09:43
the ground who litigate these issues to basically say, look,
00:09:48
we're open to Hearing these cases, right?
00:09:53
We're open to hearing these cases.
00:09:54
We want to hear these cases. We think there's a strong reason
00:09:58
to hear these cases. Especially when you have
00:10:02
different circuit, Court's ruling one way or another.
00:10:05
So you have circuit courts that are more conservative, which
00:10:07
say, oh yeah, you have an absolute right to Second
00:10:09
Amendment. Here, you can do whatever, you
00:10:11
know, you can have all lot of these abilities, you can buy a
00:10:15
lot of firearms. You can buy which capacity
00:10:17
magazine you want and then you get to a place like ninth
00:10:20
circuit or the nine circus, which Everyone likes to call it
00:10:23
and they can greatly restrict it.
00:10:25
So that difference in circuit courts means that there is a
00:10:29
circuit court, sort of a recall, a circuit court difference of
00:10:34
opinion between them. And when there is sort of a
00:10:36
difference of opinion, with all the circuit courts, it's almost
00:10:39
imperative that the Supreme Court has to step in and say,
00:10:41
look, we need to resolve this and we need to make sure that
00:10:45
there is a uniform rule across the entire country.
00:10:50
Now, we finally got that case, with this New York case, we
00:10:56
finally got the New York pistol and Rifle and Pistol Association
00:11:00
sued on behalf of these two men who wanted their carrying
00:11:04
concealed from the state of New York became state of New York,
00:11:06
has a very restrictive carrying concealed policy, you need to
00:11:09
prove good cause and even though I think one of them was security
00:11:13
meaning that he worked in a dangerous area, they wouldn't
00:11:18
allow him to have it. So he sued And it got all the
00:11:21
way up to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court.
00:11:24
We all know the ending of the story which is that they ruled
00:11:27
that there is a right to carry and conceal outside the home and
00:11:30
you don't need. So that's part.
00:11:32
One one, is that you do have a right to carry and conceal.
00:11:35
That's what the Second Amendment.
00:11:36
Plainly states, which is you have a right to keep and bear
00:11:40
arms, right? Keep and bear arms the right of
00:11:43
the people to keep and bear arms and they said, yeah, keep is
00:11:48
ownership obviously you have a right to On Firearms.
00:11:51
But you also have a right to bear them and Tom is kind of
00:11:56
smugly put it that you are more likely to Bear a firearm outside
00:12:02
the house. That's what they believed.
00:12:03
It meant you could wear a holster and this is what Thomas
00:12:07
said. He said you know you're free to
00:12:08
wear a holster and walk around your house with a holstered gun
00:12:13
but that doesn't really make as much sense as actually being
00:12:16
outside the home and having a holster.
00:12:17
So that's what we interpret the text of keep and bear.
00:12:20
Air arms men. Goes through a whole history and
00:12:25
go through a whole Litany of the respondents.
00:12:28
Tried to make an argument all the way back to the mid of
00:12:31
medieval times Middle Ages, the Dark Ages if you want to call
00:12:35
it. That and talked about different
00:12:37
things. Like the there were like laws
00:12:40
and England about swords and you couldn't bring swords into town
00:12:44
and weapons and stuff like that and the respondents who were the
00:12:49
big guess who called them defendants, who were trying to
00:12:51
not have this be granted. Basically we're trying to say
00:12:54
well there's a long history of that.
00:12:57
There's these regulations throughout our history when it
00:12:59
comes to weapons. Basically they found that all to
00:13:02
be outliers and bunk. First off, we're not going to
00:13:04
listen to Medieval laws. That doesn't really have any
00:13:07
reflection here on the American on America because the American
00:13:11
colonies were so far removed from the Middle Ages.
00:13:15
And then they tried to prove that there was stuff in like the
00:13:17
west. And so, in the western
00:13:19
territories, there was a lot of gun control.
00:13:21
And, you know, you always hear that argument.
00:13:23
The wild west and people so all in the wild west, there was
00:13:26
actually a lot more gun control and people were required to
00:13:29
check in their firearms. The old story like the o.k.
00:13:31
Corral. That was what started the whole
00:13:33
o.k. Corral and Wyatt Earp and all.
00:13:36
That was because they started seizing guns and they were upset
00:13:40
that they couldn't have their guns on while they were in town.
00:13:43
But that's a whole different story and they talked about how
00:13:44
in that time. They weren't States.
00:13:46
Yet, they were territories. There was regulation.
00:13:50
But then soon after they became States, all of those.
00:13:52
Regulations were deemed unconstitutional that you are
00:13:55
allowed to carry concealed firearms.
00:13:58
So moral of the story and I don't want to take too much time
00:14:02
on this because I think I want to open this up for a lot of
00:14:05
questions. And if people have any comments
00:14:07
or questions about what is happening right now, I want to
00:14:10
get through this part and then we can sort of talk about what's
00:14:12
going on with abortion and specifically what California is
00:14:18
doing. And then I'll touch actually, I
00:14:19
want to touch upon really quick. How California already has is
00:14:22
starting. Punish CCW holders and maybe as
00:14:26
we talked about last night on the live, chill, the ability for
00:14:30
people or chill, people's interest in wanting to actually
00:14:33
apply for a CCW. The most important lesson to
00:14:37
take away from this ruling is that Clarence Thomas has
00:14:40
basically said that the Second Amendment is not a second class,
00:14:45
right? And it's been treated as such
00:14:47
for a long time and that that should no longer be the case.
00:14:50
The second amendment should not be treated as a second
00:14:52
amendment. Or second class.
00:14:53
Right? And Basically there is a new
00:14:57
rule of does it infringed upon the intent of the Second
00:15:03
Amendment. If yes it's unconstitutional, if
00:15:07
no then it is constitutional. That's the rule.
00:15:11
That is the new rule used to be this two-step analysis about
00:15:14
balance interesting and or interest balancing and whether
00:15:18
the government could find a reason to do these regulations
00:15:22
and as long as the government always find some sort of proper
00:15:26
Believe me, the government will find any reason to infringe upon
00:15:30
your rights. Then obviously its
00:15:33
constitutional, which leaves the doorway open and garnish that
00:15:36
with a blunt. That's that's like a BS rule
00:15:39
because basically you've now let the government's restrict as
00:15:42
much of the Second Amendment as they want as long as they can
00:15:45
show in their own interest that they want to regulate.
00:15:49
So that's the new Rule. And why is that important?
00:15:52
That's important because going forward, now with second Edmund
00:15:56
cases, you can go back to this New York case, right?
00:16:00
You can go back to his New York, Kay's, take that rule and say,
00:16:03
this is the Supreme Court rule on Second Amendment every time
00:16:06
there's an issue. So here in California you know
00:16:09
we have a case with the magazines and the my magazine
00:16:12
capacity, that's an issue so there's a lot of issues you know
00:16:16
we could talk about the handgun roster and stuff like that and
00:16:19
at the end of the day you could use this rule arguing to go
00:16:23
forward. That the Supreme Court says Is
00:16:26
how you interpret the Second Amendment if it infringes upon
00:16:28
the plain text of the Constitution, the intent of the
00:16:31
Second Amendment then it is a violation of the Second
00:16:34
Amendment caveat though. This does not mean it's
00:16:39
unfettered, I will say this. It does not mean it's
00:16:41
unfettered. Like a lot of people were like
00:16:44
who were to a purist who believe that you should be able own
00:16:47
nukes and tanks and stuff like that.
00:16:49
This does not mean you can just go outside slap gun on your hip
00:16:52
and say well the Supreme Court said, I can go ahead and do
00:16:53
whatever I want. They did hold up that.
00:16:56
You can still go through the licensing process, obviously,
00:16:58
they believe that's still a respectable way to go through
00:17:02
and get a carry and conceal permit, but that's fine.
00:17:04
You can still go through it and they're obviously going to try
00:17:07
and make it as hard as possible. We talked about that last night
00:17:09
they want to make you wait as long as possible.
00:17:11
They want to make it as expensive as possible but I
00:17:14
would urge you not to just give up on your hope of own it
00:17:17
getting a CCW and and the more people who apply for ccws the
00:17:22
more normalized it's going to get in California.
00:17:24
You want to see more and more people Bought having ccws you
00:17:27
want to become commonplace in California that a lot of people
00:17:30
have czw. Why?
00:17:32
Because if people are to look back on, what is the normal
00:17:35
tradition, right? What is common in the state, or
00:17:39
in the country? At the time, you want to see a
00:17:42
lot of people having ccws carrying concealing, being out
00:17:47
there, being normal citizens, law-abiding citizens and proving
00:17:50
their point that this is part of the American tradition.
00:17:54
If it's out, if it's an outlier, it's Common than the court can
00:17:57
come down later down. The line decades from now, maybe
00:18:00
and say, well, it's not very common that people carrying
00:18:02
concealed, so therefore, we don't really need to let people
00:18:04
carrying concealed, so that's why it's important.
00:18:07
It may be tough, right? But you have already been
00:18:11
granted, a huge win in terms of the good cause statement
00:18:16
specifically here in California, where the good cause statement
00:18:19
has really held up a lot of people.
00:18:24
And I know a lot of people who get Worried about the good cause
00:18:27
statement and they, you know, they want to make sure it's just
00:18:30
right now. You don't really have to worry
00:18:32
about it. You don't have to worry about it
00:18:33
at all because there is no good cause statement anymore.
00:18:36
They should be updating applications.
00:18:39
It should be. You just put in your
00:18:40
information. Hopefully, they don't
00:18:43
disseminate that information all over the world wide web which
00:18:47
I'll talk about in a second but go and apply get the process
00:18:51
started. Why?
00:18:52
Because it's going to take a while.
00:18:53
It took me an entire year from start.
00:18:56
To finish about that time. I'm thinking about, I think I
00:18:58
applied end of June or early July last year.
00:19:03
I just finally got through it and now, I'm still waiting.
00:19:09
I'm so up, but I'm done with the process and now I'm in the queue
00:19:13
and now I'm just waiting for it, but so start it.
00:19:17
Anyway, excuse me? Whoo, went down the wrong, pipe.
00:19:24
The fight is now going to Asia, says, the fight is now Going to
00:19:26
be good, moral character and said, in some sense of place has
00:19:28
been. Now, the interesting thing is
00:19:30
they did talk about sensitive places in the Supreme Court
00:19:34
ruling and they talked about it extensively and they talked
00:19:36
about sensitive places. Now if you don't know what
00:19:38
they're talking about, New York, basically upheld.
00:19:42
This idea that a sensitive place, you don't need a firearm.
00:19:47
So there are certain places that you can't bring a firearm even
00:19:51
in California that, you know, there's CCW plays, you can't
00:19:53
bring a fireman can bring in federal buildings, can't
00:19:55
breathe. Into state buildings.
00:19:58
You can't bring it into bars, specifically just a bar but you
00:20:02
can bring it into a Tavern and Tavern.
00:20:08
Specifically is the rule is whether or not 50% or more, is
00:20:13
derived from alcohol, 50% or more is derived from from food,
00:20:16
then you're okay. My instructor told me the best
00:20:20
way to think about it is. Would you bring your kid to this
00:20:22
place? If?
00:20:23
Yes, then you can bring your gun.
00:20:24
So if you can bring your kid, you Bring your gun.
00:20:27
So there's these ideas of sensitive places.
00:20:31
There is also this idea that a place could put up a lot of no
00:20:35
gun sighs. No guns allowed here.
00:20:37
But legally, I will tell you this legally, that is not
00:20:41
enough, right? That is not enough, they could
00:20:43
put up a sign that says, no, guns allowed, but that doesn't
00:20:47
mean you can't enter without us. You cannot enter with a CCW.
00:20:52
They have to actually prevent you from coming into The the
00:20:56
business with a firearm that means there has to be a metal
00:20:59
detector. Maybe there's some security,
00:21:01
maybe they got the wand and stuff like that.
00:21:04
That's how they have to keep you out.
00:21:05
So yeah, they can say, oh, we don't want guns here.
00:21:09
That doesn't really hold in any sort of enforcement for now.
00:21:13
That doesn't mean that California is not going to try
00:21:15
and figure out all these ways to make sense.
00:21:17
Two places at basically everywhere, although the Supreme
00:21:20
Court said that you can't demon entire city, a sensitive place.
00:21:25
Which I tried to do New York City, basically saying, well,
00:21:28
you're protected by the NYPD. So what do you need a gun for?
00:21:31
Well, the nypd's not everywhere, and they're not, everyone's
00:21:34
personal bodyguard, so it's not going to that doesn't fly.
00:21:38
So the fight is obviously, they're not going to take this
00:21:40
down, they're not going to take this lying down.
00:21:43
And we saw this just yesterday, we saw that the state of
00:21:47
California. Surprisingly, you saw a gyro
00:21:50
bonta, who released a statement? Basically saying, we don't need
00:21:54
to see good cause any more forces.
00:21:56
CW is my first. I was hanging.
00:21:58
That's odd for someone like rob bonta.
00:21:59
You think the first thing I have is mouth would be.
00:22:01
We're going to fight back against this and we're not going
00:22:03
to listen and nullification all upset.
00:22:05
And you know, all these leftist or big states rights people.
00:22:09
It's always interesting, how left is our big states rights
00:22:11
people? You know, when it does benefit
00:22:14
them. But then when they want, like
00:22:15
complete and utter control from the federal government down,
00:22:18
then all of a sudden they're not states rights people but anyway
00:22:20
that's besides the point. So you see that letter, you go,
00:22:23
okay, maybe he's not going to really go after maybe
00:22:25
understand. The Supreme Court, not you got
00:22:28
fooled yesterday. There was a leak of the Attorney
00:22:35
General's database of all gun owners, register gun owners and
00:22:38
CCW permit holders. And that information was able to
00:22:42
be leaked to the entire internet.
00:22:43
Now, it was up and down and people were able to get full
00:22:47
databases. They're able to see information,
00:22:50
they were able to see your address there, able to see your
00:22:52
date of birth, a lot of private It information.
00:22:56
So we talked about last night extensively, like, I say, if you
00:22:59
want to go check it out, go over to Aziz page at trigger algae.
00:23:04
We talked about this extensively but I think this was not on
00:23:08
purpose. I think this was definitely done
00:23:09
as a in set as a intentional oopsie.
00:23:13
So that now all this information is floating out there your
00:23:17
privacy is exposed which is interesting that Prue people who
00:23:21
believed in privacy so much and the right to privacy especially
00:23:24
when it comes to the Roe v-- Wade.
00:23:27
Now, all of a sudden, they're fine with absolutely giving away
00:23:29
everybody's information and I believe this is one of those
00:23:32
things where it is a scare tactic.
00:23:33
It is they want the mob and they want people to have your
00:23:39
information to make you feel scared, that you are a gun owner
00:23:42
that they can come find you. That if they know who you are,
00:23:45
that they can come. Look you up that they can come
00:23:47
terrorize, you and it only takes one person.
00:23:49
Like they're not going to go after everybody, but at the same
00:23:53
time, it does put a little bit extra kind.
00:23:56
Ramp up the caution ramps up, a little bit of the paranoia that
00:24:00
there are people out there who might have your information, and
00:24:03
that is scary. Even if you do have a CCW, it is
00:24:07
scary that people out there. Have your information, they have
00:24:09
your address, they know where you live, they know where your
00:24:11
family lives, and that they can come and actually do something
00:24:16
to you. And then the state can kind of
00:24:17
go. Well, actually, it's not our
00:24:19
fault. That was a newpsie on our part
00:24:21
and I think someone had said last night, Camille was on.
00:24:26
Last night and she said, her husband's a programmer and that
00:24:29
this sort of information doesn't just leak out accidentally that
00:24:33
it's intentionally, somebody left it open on purpose.
00:24:35
So anyone who believes that this is an accident, I don't believe
00:24:39
it's an action. I believe.
00:24:40
It's California. Kind of retaliating against gun
00:24:43
owners and that. Now, all this information is out
00:24:46
there and people can find you regardless, whether or not they
00:24:51
are trying to do that. I still think that you should
00:24:56
Good, go through the process. If you want to, you should not
00:25:00
be afraid of this. And you should not be scared of
00:25:02
this. And I think it pushes back on
00:25:04
the politicians because if nothing else, the politicians
00:25:08
can look in this go look, we did this.
00:25:09
Maybe you'll it will scare them away.
00:25:11
Maybe people won't actually do or follow through on ccws or
00:25:15
anything like that. Now, I think you should keep
00:25:19
going if you're going to get a CCW, if you're going to purchase
00:25:22
that first firearm, go ahead and do it because you want.
00:25:26
Them to see that even in the face of all these rules and
00:25:29
regulations of all this intimidation that there are
00:25:32
people who are continuing to get firearms and get their sea CW's.
00:25:37
And it's probably the best middle finger you can give to
00:25:40
people like noodles and a gyro bonta's.
00:25:43
You can try and scare us but we're going to still exercise
00:25:46
our right and we're going to still do this.
00:25:48
And do you really want to try and intimidate a bunch of Second
00:25:51
Amendment lawful gun owners who are lawful CCW.
00:25:56
There's do you really want to start intimidating us?
00:26:00
Do you really want to think that you were really want to think
00:26:02
that through that that might not be the best decision?
00:26:06
I'm not saying you take action, I'm saying you're not really
00:26:09
going to intimidate. A lot of people who have
00:26:12
firearms or who are carrying firearms, but that's just my
00:26:17
take on it as well. So don't be, don't be dissuaded
00:26:20
by. I think you should just go
00:26:21
through it anyway. A lot of people are saying in
00:26:25
the comments right now, it's a lot.
00:26:26
To do with red flag laws, that's a huge issue.
00:26:29
I think we're probably have to have another live to talk about
00:26:32
this entire bill that's coming out or what they're trying to
00:26:34
do. It's it's kind of disappointing
00:26:37
that Republicans always seem to cave on your gun rights.
00:26:39
They're not as absolutist on your gun rights as possible.
00:26:46
So with that said, I believe there will be litigation.
00:26:51
I know CRP a the California Rifle and Pistol Association is
00:26:54
already on it. I know that maybe the firearm
00:26:57
policy Coalition is already on it.
00:26:59
There are lawyers who already looking into this like right
00:27:01
now, like, they were looking into it as of yesterday and they
00:27:03
are already contacting people. So it'll be interesting to see
00:27:08
where the litigation goes. Maybe we're all class action.
00:27:11
Maybe it's a class action for every Legal gun owner in the
00:27:14
entire state. So, we'll see where that goes.
00:27:18
I don't know if, you know, at the end of the day, the state is
00:27:21
going to end up using your taxpayer money to defend against
00:27:24
this, and they're going to use a your taxpayer money to settle
00:27:28
this. So in the end, it's not really
00:27:31
going to hurt the state. But I think the biggest thing
00:27:34
you can do is again just go apply don't be dissuaded by this
00:27:40
and show them that you're not scared, show them that That you
00:27:43
are not going to be intimidated that their their status tactics
00:27:46
are not going to intimidate, you do you think this hurts or
00:27:50
propels rub bonta's career? Well, with a majority of
00:27:55
registered Democrats, you know, Democrats own guns to write like
00:27:59
it's not all just a republican. So Democrats on guns do.
00:28:03
If I was a Democrat who owned a gun, I would be pissed off,
00:28:07
right? I'd be pissed off because if I
00:28:09
was a Democrat and I've no Democrats who own guns, right?
00:28:12
I know there's Democrats who are big gun enthusiasts.
00:28:16
They're big to way people but if you're a to a Democrat, you're
00:28:21
not going to look at what Rob bonta did and go.
00:28:23
Yeah, I'm gonna vote for this guy.
00:28:24
Anyway, you may be a little bit more angry that he leaked your
00:28:28
personal information, so it may have a hindrance on it going
00:28:32
forward, especially as I, he's not very well known, Rob bond,
00:28:36
to remember he was installed because Xavier Becerra who left
00:28:43
and went off to d.c. to be the Health and Human Services chair
00:28:46
or secretary. He was installed Rob onto Is Not
00:28:51
Elected, so it's not like he's already been elected, and he has
00:28:54
a whole like mandate or anything like that, he's just someone who
00:28:56
came in and was installed. So, we'll see how that ends up.
00:29:02
I mean, this could be a scandal in the making for him that he'll
00:29:05
released all this information, there's plenty of Independence.
00:29:08
You know, there's plenty of people across all spectrums
00:29:11
Democrat independent, you know, Republican who own firearms.
00:29:15
And if your private information was released I was Wouldn't be
00:29:19
too happy with that politician. I would be very hard-pressed to
00:29:22
vote for that politician again. Go like yeah well he really is
00:29:25
my private information to the web and now somebody somewhere.
00:29:28
I don't know who they could be. Who hates guns and gate hates me
00:29:31
just because I own guns now, has my private information, my date
00:29:35
of birth and all that stuff and where I live, so therefore I
00:29:38
guess. Yeah.
00:29:40
I guess I'll vote for him again. I mean maybe if you're that big
00:29:43
of a political tribalist that you believe that you're just
00:29:45
going to vote deed, no matter, vote blue, no matter who is what
00:29:48
they say. Maybe, but I, if you're, if
00:29:52
you're somebody like that, you may not vote for a rub onto and
00:29:55
it may hurt him. So moving on and we do have a
00:30:00
couple minutes before. I want to open it up to
00:30:02
questions. I don't want to talk about what
00:30:04
happened in the Dobbs. In Jackson case I haven't gotten
00:30:07
through. I will admit, I haven't gone
00:30:08
through the entire ruling or the entire opinion of what is going.
00:30:14
It's basically the same opinion that they issued or leaked and
00:30:19
is it First thing we haven't found out who was the leaker of
00:30:21
that Supreme Court decision? Still been out there that we
00:30:26
have no idea who actually leaked it.
00:30:28
Right. There was supposed to be this
00:30:31
huge investigation into finding out.
00:30:32
Who is the? Oh no, my computer went down.
00:30:36
Hopefully it's still recording. Who was supposed to be the
00:30:41
leaker and we haven't found out who the leaker is.
00:30:44
So now this is the, this is demoralizing.
00:30:48
I can't get my Pewter up, there goes.
00:30:50
Okay, whew. That was close.
00:30:52
Otherwise I lose the audio and that's not important for all the
00:30:55
audio listeners who like to tune in any way for all the audio
00:30:59
listeners. I apologize.
00:31:00
There was a little blip in the computer.
00:31:03
There are only for CCW permits and all of San Francisco.
00:31:07
Yeah, I saw that. That's pretty interesting.
00:31:08
There's only for CCW on all of San Francisco, but if there is
00:31:13
no matter how many CW's there are currently, I think there
00:31:16
should be a lot more by next year, you know, if Takes about a
00:31:19
year, I think there should be a lot more by next year.
00:31:22
That is what I would like to see.
00:31:24
I like to see a huge increase in people will see CW's going
00:31:27
through the process getting their sea CW's.
00:31:30
Showing that it's normal, showing that a lot of
00:31:32
law-abiding, people are getting it and changing the culture
00:31:35
changing the culture around it. All right, now onto Dobbs RV
00:31:39
Jackson, which overturn Roe v-- Wade, not much to say.
00:31:43
I mean there's no you know, boil it down for you as best as I can
00:31:48
without Knowing a reading or getting through the entire
00:31:51
opinion. They basically said, there's no
00:31:54
right to abortion in Constitution and that they are
00:31:58
basically, they couldn't find a right?
00:31:59
No matter how much they tried or stretched and Ruth, Bader
00:32:02
Ginsburg herself. Didn't even believe that this
00:32:04
was back when they're talking about the original Roe v-- Wade.
00:32:08
They believed that this isn't going to have the legs to stand
00:32:11
on over the Long Haul. Now, that was a long time ago,
00:32:15
as 50 years ago, Democrats have had control Of Congress and
00:32:20
government since then several times and you think about it.
00:32:24
You know, Jimmy Carter you had Bill Clinton Barack Obama.
00:32:28
They had numerous chances to codify, Roe v-- Wade, right?
00:32:33
They could have codified it, they could have codified, it
00:32:35
made a law and then that's it, if that's the law, that's
00:32:38
basically the be-all and end-all correct.
00:32:42
Now outside of the Constitution, the most important highest
00:32:47
Authority in our Government is the elected official and our
00:32:52
legislators. That's really how our
00:32:54
constitution was set up, right? Our constitution was set up that
00:32:57
we are going to have legislators.
00:32:58
We're going to state legislators.
00:33:00
We're going to have Congressional legislators and
00:33:02
that legislators were really going to be sort of the machine
00:33:06
that makes government run because their belief was that,
00:33:10
you wanted to be able to interact with your
00:33:13
representative on a state level, on a local level and on a
00:33:17
congressional level that You are represented in your form of
00:33:22
government. So when the legislature has the
00:33:25
ability to make these decisions, that's really what it comes down
00:33:28
to is that you should be able to vote and change things based on
00:33:35
what the people believe. Right, I saw discount guy
00:33:40
marches, join. I want to give him a shout out.
00:33:42
They were the ones who trained me for the CCW great trainers
00:33:45
and instructors there. So I said this last night in the
00:33:47
live as well. If you're in San Diego,
00:33:50
definitely check out discount, come art.
00:33:51
They had a great class. Kyle is great and Patrick is
00:33:53
great as well. But anyway, back to the Dobbs, V
00:33:57
Jackson case. It's interesting.
00:34:01
I tweeted this out before that, they are saying people on the
00:34:06
left are saying that democracy dies through this decision,
00:34:13
which I don't really seem to understand because democracy is
00:34:17
in their terms, whatever democracy.
00:34:19
Is. Yeah, you can go to The Ballot
00:34:20
Box and all that that's their form democracy.
00:34:23
They're upset that a group of unelected.
00:34:26
Lawyers basically said this was not our place to make this
00:34:31
ruling and therefore we're giving the power back to the
00:34:34
people and they think that's how democracy dies is because a
00:34:39
group of unelected lawyers and judges basically gave up power
00:34:44
and said we were wrong years ago and therefore we want to give it
00:34:48
back and closer to the people that doesn't sound like
00:34:51
democracy dying. And instead they're giving the
00:34:55
power all back to the states right there, giving the power
00:34:59
back to the states to make that determination.
00:35:02
And that's something that the Dobbs, we Jackson case talks
00:35:04
about which is it's hard to come up with a simple rule and ever
00:35:08
since Roe v-- Wade. It's been harder and harder to
00:35:10
kind of stick to this rule because there is no Hardline
00:35:14
exact Rule and to come up with these different standards is
00:35:19
more of a legislative action than it is a a supreme court or
00:35:25
judicial action. So beta.
00:35:28
There's an this was not our place to begin with.
00:35:30
This is what the legislators for the legislature is therefore if
00:35:34
they want to balance the interest and this is what states
00:35:37
are for, right? Is what this is, what Aledo
00:35:40
says, in the opinion the States and its Representatives can
00:35:44
balance, what is more important? They can balance based on the
00:35:48
people who live there and based on the voters that do they want
00:35:52
more? It's to longer accessibility to
00:35:57
abortion or do they believe they want to protect life as soon as
00:36:00
possible and that's up to your state legislators, that's up to
00:36:03
your state representatives and that's up to the states to
00:36:05
figure out because that's what it's supposed to be.
00:36:09
And I'm glad to see this turn of the Supreme Court, pushing a lot
00:36:14
of stuff back to the States and saying this is really a state's
00:36:18
issue. The states and the state
00:36:20
legislatures, not necessarily Congress, right?
00:36:23
We always focus on Congress and we focus on the president and we
00:36:27
focus on all this. As if there is a carte blanche,
00:36:30
one solution, one size fits all sort of solution for everybody.
00:36:34
But I always say it's focus. Should be focused more on the
00:36:36
state legislatures. I get wonky about this stuff
00:36:40
with the state legislators. I believe that the founders had
00:36:43
an intent which has been watered down over the years of the
00:36:46
state, legislators are supposed to be way more powerful, and
00:36:49
have more influence than a lot of people give them credit for
00:36:52
its supposed to be. A lot of these states are
00:36:54
supposed to just be like their own entity part of a union,
00:36:58
right? That's the whole point of this.
00:36:59
This was a union of these individual states with
00:37:02
individual legislators with individual Governors and
00:37:04
individual constitutions that we're all under one umbrella.
00:37:08
Like yeah we're all working together but we're all different
00:37:10
states and we all have different interests and we all have
00:37:12
different things to accomplish and that's where the Supreme
00:37:17
Court has been pushing. A lot of their decisions is back
00:37:20
to the states, right? Same thing with the guns that
00:37:22
they're basically, We pushing it back to the States now, with the
00:37:25
caveat that you can't use good. Cause now you can still do
00:37:28
license and you can still do whatever you think is important
00:37:31
but you got to get rid of the good cause same thing with Roe
00:37:34
v-- Wade, which is now we're pushing it back to the states
00:37:36
and the states can figure out what they want and if you don't
00:37:39
like that, you can do a couple of things.
00:37:42
You can one work to get different legislators.
00:37:45
You can get other people to be in your representative
00:37:48
government to enact different laws that you believe in.
00:37:53
Right. That is the point is that your
00:37:55
coalesce, the people get people to vote and if not if you don't
00:38:00
want to do that, you can it's that important to you.
00:38:03
There are other states and thanks to this Union that we
00:38:07
have created, you can travel freely amongst all these states
00:38:10
and still be classified as a citizen and it's but you're
00:38:14
still a citizen of the United States.
00:38:17
If you don't really like it, you can go somewhere else, but you
00:38:20
can also be a part of the process to get Moves in your
00:38:23
state legislature to change the laws and that's basically how it
00:38:29
should be. So, I find it interesting that
00:38:31
they're screaming at the top of their lungs, that democracy is
00:38:33
dying that dies in the dark and all of this stuff.
00:38:37
When reality, they're giving more power to your vote.
00:38:39
They're giving more power for you to go out and vote.
00:38:42
And it seems like they just want the easy way out.
00:38:46
They want the easy way out. They like, when the Supreme
00:38:48
Court rules in their favor, as opposed to doing the hard work
00:38:52
of, getting a lot of Legislators.
00:38:54
Now mind you a lot as the majority of state legislators
00:38:56
here in the United States are controlled by Republicans, which
00:38:59
is a fact that in really kind of flies under the radar, every
00:39:02
election cycle is that Republicans are taking over more
00:39:05
of the state legislature. I think there's like 38 in 2020.
00:39:09
We'll see how many more maybe they pick it up, or they
00:39:12
strengthen it in this next coming up.
00:39:14
Run. So, for the fact that they have
00:39:16
lost a large majority of the state legislatures, that does
00:39:20
concern them now they could put in the hard work, Work people on
00:39:23
the left, could put in the hard work and say, well, we're going
00:39:27
to start changing our state legislators.
00:39:28
Then we start electing people, we want, kind of, like, what I
00:39:31
always say here, which is if you want to solve things here in
00:39:34
California, you have to put in the work to actually get people
00:39:37
elected to the state legislature who are going to believe in what
00:39:41
you believe and advocate for what you Advocate, that's the
00:39:44
point of our the way our government is set up.
00:39:49
So that's basically we also have right now.
00:39:53
This new Constitutional Amendment, which I'm going to
00:39:55
touch my really, really quickly because I do have a theory on it
00:40:00
and I want to give a hat tip to Ray Perez, who's been a guest of
00:40:02
the show. He actually brought this up on
00:40:04
Twitter. I think this is a great point
00:40:06
there. Is this state senate
00:40:08
constitutional amendment number 10, which will be voted on this
00:40:11
upcoming November. Now, do I think is partially a
00:40:15
ploy by the Democrats to get more democratic voters out to
00:40:19
the polls? Absolutely.
00:40:20
I think this is 100% a ploy. For them to get more people out
00:40:24
to the polls because they're going to say, we need a
00:40:26
constitutional amendment here in California for the California
00:40:29
Constitution, not the US Constitution, that will enshrine
00:40:33
the right to abortion and protect what they say, protect
00:40:36
the right to abortion. Do I think it again?
00:40:39
Do I think it's just to get a lot of press do I think it's to
00:40:43
kind of stand up and, and try and be Head and Shoulders more
00:40:48
Progressive than everybody else? Absolutely, I don't think it
00:40:53
really Changes anything like nothing's changed in California
00:40:56
as of right now, but this Senate constitutional amendment is
00:41:01
going to be going to the voters. Let's see.
00:41:05
It's only one section. So it's very short.
00:41:07
You don't have to read a lot of it.
00:41:08
I'll read it for you. The state shall not deny her
00:41:11
interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom in their
00:41:13
most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right
00:41:15
to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to
00:41:18
choose or refuse contraceptives. This section is intended to
00:41:21
further the constitutional right to privacy.
00:41:23
He guaranteed by Section 1 and the constitutional, right?
00:41:26
Not to be denied equal protection.
00:41:28
Guaranteed by section 7 nothing here and now or limits the right
00:41:32
to privacy or equal protection very vague right it's very vague
00:41:38
as to what that really is going to be outside of it just
00:41:41
protects the right to abortion doesn't say is it going to go
00:41:43
all the way up through board birth is going to be nine
00:41:45
months? Is it going to be after birth
00:41:48
anything like that? Maybe they did that on purpose.
00:41:51
They want it to be vague so that if it Past people can find the
00:41:55
reason to pass a lot of these laws.
00:41:59
So that's their Senate Constitutional Amendment.
00:42:02
That is going to be going to the voters.
00:42:04
Kevin Kylie chimed in and asked if the amendment overall
00:42:07
California law that generally prohibits abortions after fetal
00:42:10
viability and instead allow them up until the moment of birth,
00:42:13
assemblymember Sabrina, cervantes's a Corona, Democrat
00:42:16
answered this bill, just ensures that all Californians, enjoy
00:42:20
reproductive freedoms and that they have the ability to make
00:42:22
these decisions. Asians themselves.
00:42:26
Nice non-answer basically that says that we're not going to
00:42:29
answer whether that's really true or not.
00:42:32
But here's what we're going to say now, it will be interesting.
00:42:36
I'm going to give a hat tip to Ray Perez on this point.
00:42:39
That they may not be happy with the result that they see.
00:42:49
Hear me out, do I think it will pass well, most likely?
00:42:53
It's gonna pass. And it'll be a constitutional
00:42:55
amendment, right? But I think they might be.
00:42:59
Starring a bee's nest that they don't really want to stir up in
00:43:03
specifically in certain communities.
00:43:06
This may be one of those wedge issues that alienates not only
00:43:11
Hispanic voters, but I also think that Asian-American
00:43:13
voters, who are more conservative on some of these
00:43:16
issues on these social issues and in, Terms of pushing this
00:43:20
again. I think the reason Ro was
00:43:24
overturned was because it went from safe legal and rare to up
00:43:31
until nine months. And I think it was, you played
00:43:34
your hand too much to the point where States and people push
00:43:37
back and said, this is too far, you've gone too far.
00:43:41
And I think this may be a case, here in California where they're
00:43:45
pushing this as a big Constitutional Amendment.
00:43:48
And they may be Shocked by their own results that when they see
00:43:52
the results of who voted for it, and they see the demographics of
00:43:55
who voted against it, they may be a little bit more shocked to
00:43:59
be like, wait, maybe we screwed up here because we went a little
00:44:04
too far in One Direction. Like California already has the
00:44:09
most, some of the most freest outside of Colorado.
00:44:13
I think Colorado has some of the most lacks abortion laws.
00:44:16
California has been screaming from the rooftops.
00:44:18
Tops. Like come here for abortion, you
00:44:20
know. Come to California Comfort,
00:44:22
abortion tourism, and side note. I want to look into that.
00:44:29
That's another issue here in San Diego.
00:44:31
They've now put up Billboards that say, welcome to California,
00:44:33
where abortion is still illegal and and safe and whatever funded
00:44:37
by the taxpayers is a big No-No, because it's a political
00:44:41
standpoint. And therefore they could be
00:44:43
running afoul of the First Amendment.
00:44:44
That's a whole different issue. Maybe I'll do a whole video on
00:44:46
it or something like that, but looking With the right of
00:44:49
Association also includes the right.
00:44:51
And to not associate with people and the government really can't
00:44:55
use your tax dollars to fund a political position that you may
00:45:00
not may or may not agree with any way.
00:45:04
But you, they may be shocked and they may find that maybe they
00:45:08
turned off a lot of Voters by pushing too far.
00:45:10
And instead of taking the Victory lap and saying, look
00:45:14
we're already going to we're going to keep all upholding Our
00:45:18
abortion rights here in California, we're going to stick
00:45:21
by our laws. They decided we're going to go
00:45:23
the one extra step, and make it a constitutional amendment just
00:45:26
for the publicity. And I think they'll be shocked
00:45:29
and I'll be interesting to see the breakdown.
00:45:32
I like I said, I still think it's going to pass, but it will
00:45:35
be interesting to see if it's closer than you think.
00:45:38
And it maybe it might be like a prop 8 situation.
00:45:42
I think was probably the one that legalized and then it was
00:45:45
voted down. They might be one of those
00:45:47
situations where California A be surprised at how socially
00:45:51
conservative its people are and maybe they just keep pushing and
00:45:55
pushing and it may push a lot of those Asian American Hispanic
00:45:58
voters farther, right? In terms of what they support
00:46:02
and that they don't support the Democrats as much anymore.
00:46:05
Whoo. Alright, wow.
00:46:07
That was my rundown. I hope I did as good of a job
00:46:10
that I could could, I mean? Yeah, I could sit here and do
00:46:14
you know an hour long video on each case?
00:46:17
And I don't know who would actually sit through it would be
00:46:20
like sitting through a constitutional Law class.
00:46:22
So I tried to do the best. I could let me know in the
00:46:25
comments if it actually, if it made sense, if it didn't make
00:46:29
sense, you can always ask questions.
00:46:31
I'm going to take a sip of coffee and figure out and let
00:46:35
you guys ask some questions. So the coffee that is now kind
00:46:41
of lukewarm It's not cold because it's not cold here.
00:46:48
Summer has definitely showed up in San Diego and by it's summer.
00:46:52
I mean, it is 80 degrees, so it's 80 degrees in San Diego.
00:46:59
Yeah, I know some people would tune in just for the
00:47:02
Constitutional stuff I nerd out on it, because that's what I
00:47:07
loved in law school. And that's what I love to do as
00:47:09
an attorney right now. As do I think that Newsom is
00:47:15
going to run for president free law class?
00:47:19
Yeah, one free law class as I want to ask before.
00:47:22
Do I think that Newsom is going to run for president in 2020 for
00:47:26
or that he's setting up to do it?
00:47:28
I've always been to the belief that noodles is going to have
00:47:32
his sights set on the next position that he can attain.
00:47:38
When he was on the County Board of Supervisors, he wants to be
00:47:41
mayor when he was mayor. He want to be governor and when
00:47:45
he now that he's well, he only made two lieutenant governor
00:47:48
first, try and then now he's Governor.
00:47:51
So obviously the next step after Governor is to be president.
00:47:56
So he's obviously keeping his eye on the next brass.
00:47:58
Ring, if you notice his Twitter, he's not really talking a lot
00:48:02
about California issues, he's talking about National issues.
00:48:04
He's talking about like a presidential candidate would
00:48:07
talk on big National issues, so I fully believe that that that
00:48:12
He's planning or gearing up for a run.
00:48:15
He may be gearing up in the in the, you know, just in case by
00:48:21
it and decides not to run again, which I mean, we're only two
00:48:26
years and the poor guy can't stand up on a bicycle.
00:48:29
So who knows what's going to happen?
00:48:31
Kamala Harris is very unpopular. There's not really anybody
00:48:35
waiting in the wings outside like, Pete, booty, judge, who
00:48:38
will not be accepted and in most parts of the country will not be
00:48:42
so aborted in most parts of the country.
00:48:45
Elizabeth Warren, you know, Pocahontas.
00:48:47
It is that going to be someone, I don't think so.
00:48:49
So he probably sees an opening to like at least get the
00:48:52
national exposure that if there is an opening in 2024.
00:48:56
He can run which you know, would be two years into his second
00:49:03
term, if he's re-elected, which he most likely will be real,
00:49:06
real elected. I would put good money on that.
00:49:08
He's going to be re-elected. The bioman isn't Noodles isn't
00:49:13
propping himself up for 20, is they're happy?
00:49:16
Or they are not happy. He is propping himself up for
00:49:20
for president, but it does really kind of solidify why he
00:49:25
is because well, spending money in Florida is solidifying that
00:49:30
he wants to run for president, right?
00:49:32
Like that's the biggest tell, he has no issue.
00:49:34
And then this whole, he went on Truth, social to try and own the
00:49:37
Republicans. I mean, is this, what, this guy
00:49:41
really has time for the state Is no water were running out of
00:49:45
energy. And this is what he's really
00:49:47
concerned with is going on Truth, social and trying to own
00:49:49
people on social media. So, let's see.
00:49:53
Somebody else asked a question. Newsom has to look better than
00:49:57
Biden for Democrats. I would feel he's too
00:50:01
Progressive and I think outside of California, he's a wildly
00:50:05
popular in California, which to me is pretty shocking but you
00:50:09
have to give him mine. There's a lot of people who
00:50:11
really support. Gavin Newsom there.
00:50:12
Our Democratic voters. There are 50 percent of the
00:50:15
registered voters are Democrats here.
00:50:18
So you have to get think about it that way.
00:50:21
But outside of that, I think a lot of states don't want
00:50:24
California influence over their state.
00:50:26
A lot of special, a lot of those swing States.
00:50:27
I don't think they want to see a Gavin Newsom, president, who
00:50:31
will push a lot of these California ideals on to the rest
00:50:35
of the country. So, He may look better because
00:50:39
he's young, and he's well-spoken and all that stuff, but he's way
00:50:43
too Progressive for a lot of these swing states.
00:50:46
Do you feel with Roe v-- Wade, will affect red states with
00:50:49
people being pro-choice, effectively, saved from the
00:50:51
William mostly book? Maybe.
00:50:54
And I think that's why Democrats were so excited that this came
00:50:58
out was because they couldn't really run on anything else.
00:51:01
Well, so they're going to run on.
00:51:02
They don't have the economy, which is usually the most
00:51:06
important thing. So, we're outside of the economy
00:51:11
and the fact that they haven't done anything about Ukraine or
00:51:14
they haven't done anything about inflation supply chain.
00:51:17
All that stuff gas prices. I mean, like James Carville,
00:51:22
said The Ragin Cajun, it's the economy stupid.
00:51:24
And if you don't have the economy, what else are you going
00:51:27
to do? So they're going to try and
00:51:28
wedge this abortion thing way into it and they're going to try
00:51:33
and get people to turn out but it may work in the other way.
00:51:38
To, you know, it may work in the other way where you'll get a lot
00:51:41
of Republicans showing up because they'll say even more
00:51:45
like, oh you have to show up and vote for this Governor or the
00:51:48
state legislator or something like that because we want to
00:51:51
protect the protect life. So it works both ways and gun
00:51:55
issue is actually notoriously a bad issue for Democrats that
00:51:59
they continually lose on over and over again.
00:52:02
So they probably want to focus more on the abortion thing
00:52:06
outside of the gun thing because they always lose.
00:52:08
Lose on the gun issue. Somebody else had a question.
00:52:14
Did you hear California? Doj leaked?
00:52:16
Yep. We talked about that at the
00:52:17
beginning. If you want to check out more
00:52:19
detailed, go to trigger ology me and him had a big live last
00:52:25
night. So Mmm.
00:52:32
Can California CCW holder sue for the leaked data?
00:52:35
Probably imagine that's what the CRP a is going to do.
00:52:40
So, the coming gas relief is the early tax rebate, like the test,
00:52:45
I don't know. I think, I believe it might be
00:52:47
just coming out of the Surplus that they have its Thirty
00:52:50
billion dollars that's going to be giving up.
00:52:53
I don't know if it's the you'll probably get taxed on.
00:52:55
Don't don't think it's free money.
00:52:56
It's definitely not going to be just free money.
00:52:59
They're going to figure out a way to make their money back on
00:53:01
it so they're most likely going to tax you on it.
00:53:05
So for some people, it may be good, they don't get it because
00:53:08
in the don't worry about being taxed on it.
00:53:13
But yeah, if you site for Bella Bella love 56.
00:53:20
Yeah, we talked about it, go check out trigger ology the live
00:53:23
I did with him. Dempster and I are going to pack
00:53:27
in the court, the FDR threatened a pack Decor after Social
00:53:30
Security Act, wasn't it true? That he said that because almost
00:53:33
all the Justice were 70 plus in 1937.
00:53:38
I don't know, specifically, I know the real reason that the
00:53:43
the court packing was sort of defeated in way back in the
00:53:49
night 1937 with FDR was because there was still a very moderate
00:53:55
Wing of the Democrats and they basically started like and they
00:54:00
were a large contingency and that was something f.d.r.
00:54:03
Had to really grapple with through his entire presidency
00:54:06
was there was the Progressive Democrats.
00:54:09
And there were a lot of very moderate Democrats and the
00:54:13
moderates didn't have a lot of control first time through the
00:54:19
the term with FDR. So he had the side of progressives but Then
00:54:26
they took over more power in Congress.
00:54:29
And basically once they took over more power in Congress,
00:54:32
they kind of held FDR back from his super, super Progressive
00:54:37
policies. And say look if you pack the
00:54:40
chord, we're going to make sure the you are a one-term
00:54:44
president, right? We're going to make sure you
00:54:46
lose next time you're like we're not going to support you and
00:54:49
we're going to fight you on this.
00:54:50
So it was very contentious between these moderate this wing
00:54:54
of the Party that did not like FDR and the progressives and
00:55:00
that's really what it came down to.
00:55:01
Was there was this group of Democrats who said, look don't
00:55:05
do this or you're going to, you're going to pay for it.
00:55:08
So that's not really like I don't know why they're saying it
00:55:13
was because they're all seventy. Plus there's a lot of justices
00:55:16
who were over 70, who are on the court.
00:55:18
We have a very young court right now especially with the three
00:55:21
new justices that Trump appointed.
00:55:24
So, it's a much Anger court and of course it shows young Amy.
00:55:27
Coming Barrett's, young Cavanaugh was young, she got
00:55:30
three right there who are in there that are younger.
00:55:33
You know, Clarence Thomas is up there.
00:55:35
Alito's older he was appointed by George w-- Bush Breyer who
00:55:38
just retired can't undo Brown Jacks and it was just a point
00:55:42
she's younger. So it's a it's a much younger
00:55:45
course. It's not core, it's not 70-plus
00:55:48
anymore. But yeah, that's that's what
00:55:50
their real reason why that was ultimately defeated.
00:55:55
So, all right, any other questions comments?
00:55:58
Like I said, tomorrow night at 8 p.m. on YouTube.
00:56:01
As always, with the with the podcast, we're going to Richard
00:56:04
bayly on mayor of Coronado, we're going to be talking some
00:56:06
Insider baseball, and we're gonna be talking about what goes
00:56:10
on inside in the, you know, just basically Insider baseball when
00:56:13
it comes to politics. Did you hear about the bell at
00:56:18
California? Put out there requires websites
00:56:20
to verify ages of those who wish to use their website?
00:56:25
I have not but I mean there's already a lot of Kate.
00:56:29
I don't know, it doesn't make go any farther than what they
00:56:32
already do. For all some websites like
00:56:34
tobacco websites or alcohol websites that have to prove
00:56:38
you're either 18 or 21 and really it's just you fill out a
00:56:41
for I mean, I don't really care. I'm sure they don't really care
00:56:45
if you really are HR not just you put in a number.
00:56:48
So real strong security there, right?
00:56:53
Can there be legal action against the gun at?
00:56:54
Yeah, I and I think there already is going to be
00:56:57
litigation. I think that there are
00:56:59
organizations that are going to push back on this so I'll thank
00:57:08
you. Yeah, thank you for joining the
00:57:10
live. Every Wednesday 9 a.m. try to be
00:57:14
here as much as possible sometimes Work gets in the way
00:57:16
but usually I am here from 9 to 10 a.m. every Wednesday to chat
00:57:21
and then don't forget on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. we do
00:57:25
the live podcast over on YouTube with a guess.
00:57:27
So. It's just in the name of
00:57:30
protecting children but the bill is just a way to further
00:57:32
regulate the internet. Yeah, I believe they're probably
00:57:37
going to be able to look at more of your information.
00:57:40
Why do they want all your information?
00:57:42
As you can see what happens when they have your information, you
00:57:45
can get into the wrong hands and and I could potentially be done
00:57:50
with, you know, could there could be some harm done to you
00:57:53
afterwards. So there's a reason why they
00:57:56
want all that information. Sometimes you just kind of want
00:57:58
to you. It's almost like you wish for a
00:58:00
simpler time when we didn't have all this technology and
00:58:02
everybody had your info control. Yeah, control is probably the
00:58:07
most logical reason why they want all your information, all
00:58:11
right, how do you use How do this godís judge ruled
00:58:18
differently on clear constitutional issues?
00:58:20
Rules example, religion. That's a broad question.
00:58:22
How did this code is? Judges rule differently on clear
00:58:25
constitutional issues? I mean that's a tough question
00:58:31
to really answer and like a quick summation.
00:58:33
Well, thank you for tuning in. Thank you for the room for that.
00:58:37
