Newsom released a campaign ad, in Florida, and makes the bold claim that California still believes in freedom more than red states. I rebut many of these claims.

00:00:12
the same person. This is the political podcast
00:00:14

00:00:17

00:00:22
Good morning everybody. Welcome back to another episode
00:00:25
of coffee and California Politics.
00:00:28
As always, Wednesday morning at 9, a.m. we sit.
00:00:30
We chat, we talk about California politics over coffee,
00:00:35
hope everyone had a great Fourth of July.
00:00:39
I hope everyone got to enjoy their for their three-day
00:00:43
weekend, a good times, and fireworks and food, and all that
00:00:47
stuff. Good morning.
00:00:49
Good to see everybody. Today, I'm drinking Black Rifle,
00:00:54
coffee or die. That's a good.
00:00:56
It's a medium row. So again like we talked about
00:00:58
before, medium roast has not as much caffeine, but it's pretty
00:01:01
good. Very Bold Flavor, nice, nice,
00:01:04
Bold, full flavor for a medium Rose, dark roast.
00:01:07
I never, I got off dark roast a while ago.
00:01:09
I used to think, dark, roast or the best.
00:01:11
I always thought I was like a tough guy being like I drink the
00:01:14
darkest Rose possible, dark black roast coffee and you know,
00:01:17
it's like now it's almost too much.
00:01:19
Like I'm not a big fan of the dark roast anymore or if an
00:01:21
ally. Roast in the medium roast every
00:01:23
once in a while. So a couple announcements one
00:01:27
thinking, Richard Bailey again. For hopping on last week, we had
00:01:30
a great discussion about local politics.
00:01:32
Got to get that audio up, there was an issue with the audio, so
00:01:34
I'm going to get that podcast up soon for the audio listeners, as
00:01:38
always. If you don't tune into this
00:01:40
live, you can always listen to it on audio on Spotify, Apple,
00:01:44
Google all those different places.
00:01:46
You can always listen to it in case you only tune in for a
00:01:49
little bit or, or if You want to tune in you know while you're in
00:01:54
the car stuff like that you don't be watching an Instagram
00:01:56
video. That's safe.
00:01:57
I don't recommend you watching any Instagram lives while you're
00:02:00
in the car. That's probably not responsible
00:02:04
tomorrow night on the show we're gonna have Jonathan back
00:02:06
Jonathan who came on a couple months back and we did sort of a
00:02:11
legislative Roundup. We're going to do another
00:02:12
legislative Roundup talking about what bills are going
00:02:16
through the legislature right now where we are you know
00:02:19
there's some bills that failed since the Time that we last
00:02:23
spoke. There's ones that are still
00:02:25
going through their slowly making their way through and
00:02:28
there's some that have been gutted got in a mandate like wow
00:02:31
I'm going to talk about today a little bit because we're talking
00:02:34
about sort of a longer version of the real I put out yesterday
00:02:39
which was talking about how noodles thought that he's going
00:02:43
to go out there and advertised Floridians that California is
00:02:48
somehow more free. Then Florida based solely on one
00:02:53
issue. That's it.
00:02:54
That's really all they he bases everything on it's just one
00:02:57
issue. I guess.
00:02:59
If you can't get an abortion up through my nine months, that
00:03:01
means I California somehow is way more free than Florida even
00:03:06
though we're not talking about the fact that Florida has lower
00:03:08
taxes A Better Business economy. Better second amendment rights,
00:03:13
you know I mean the list goes on and on and now we're going to
00:03:15
talk about some of that stuff today.
00:03:17
And as always, I want to take plenty of time to answer plenty
00:03:19
of Questions and comments always come prepared to chat.
00:03:23
That's the point of this is that we're, you know, it's more of a
00:03:28
dialogue. And yeah basically that's what
00:03:32
this is going to be sort of a sit-in chat and ask a lot of
00:03:35
questions if you want to going to be trying out a new software
00:03:39
tomorrow night on the podcast. So if there's some technical
00:03:42
difficulties just bear with us, we're just trying out.
00:03:47
Something new, bring a better quality podcast.
00:03:50
Better quality video podcast which will also include the
00:03:55
ability, maybe not tomorrow night because we're just getting
00:03:57
used to it but tomorrow night or down the road for people to
00:04:02
actually like call into the show while it's being live-streamed,
00:04:06
there's a lot of functionality with it.
00:04:09
We're also exploring the idea if you want to let me know.
00:04:13
I'm a put a poll in the stories about whether or not you'd like
00:04:17
to see some sort of like members only after show which Is
00:04:20
basically like after we go after we're done with the live
00:04:23
podcast, they'll be like a private podcast where you can
00:04:26
join in and watch us talk about things a little bit more off off
00:04:32
the off of Topic in terms of stuff that wouldn't be accepted,
00:04:36
Maybe on YouTube or something like that.
00:04:38
We can talk a little bit more frankly because we're not
00:04:40
streaming on YouTube and we have to worry about their algorithm
00:04:43
to their rules or stuff like that.
00:04:44
So, let me know in the comments if you think you'd be interested
00:04:49
in a members. Only after show after party show
00:04:52
and after party show like an after show and yeah.
00:04:57
So the lot exciting things that are happening.
00:05:00
Propositions are coming out. We've got all the propositions,
00:05:03
which have qualified for the ballot.
00:05:04
I'm going to slowly start going through those as time.
00:05:07
Goes on. We're going to go through them
00:05:10
like Tim pool. Yeah.
00:05:12
Temple does on his pocket. Absolutely exactly.
00:05:14
Like Temple does on his podcast. He doesn't have to show.
00:05:18
Steven Crowder does the same thing, he Is thing on YouTube
00:05:21
and then he goes to mug Club where it's their off YouTube, so
00:05:25
they can be a little bit more Frank and talk about what they
00:05:27
want to talk about, you know, a little bit more adult.
00:05:31
They can swear and stuff like that.
00:05:32
Not that we want to just sit there and say cuss words but we
00:05:35
can be a little bit more relaxed.
00:05:37
So I think would be an interesting way to really kind
00:05:40
of have a little bit more. I try to say a little bit, not
00:05:48
so formalized of a cast anyway. So let's talk about noodles,
00:05:54
claim that California is somehow more free, then Florida.
00:06:00
Now, first, I want to talk about something.
00:06:01
If you didn't know this already, Newsom is on vacation.
00:06:08
Yeah, he's on vacation. So he's out of the state and
00:06:13
there's some weird things about why he what happened this time?
00:06:16
You know, we know he went to Mexico, he went down to Baja for
00:06:19
a little It in a house that was owned by a Russian oligarch.
00:06:24
So I guess back then, it was okay to be in bed with Russian
00:06:27
oligarchs. But now because of the Ukraine
00:06:29
situation, you don't have to, you can't be a part of Russian
00:06:33
oligarchs, then he went down to Central America for a while
00:06:37
while and keep in mind, a lot of these vacations where when
00:06:41
people were still kind of suffering under covid
00:06:43
restrictions, so it seemed a little odd.
00:06:45
He's been to Montana before. I think his wife owns a lot of
00:06:48
property out there. And he just up and left.
00:06:51
He didn't really tell people. He was going whole family, got
00:06:54
up and left. So this is from Emily, hovind's
00:06:57
newsletter. If you want to get sort of an
00:06:58
idea, Emily hoeven has a great newsletter.
00:07:01
She puts out, she's a reporter for the cow matters website.
00:07:05
And she does a really good job kind of just presenting the
00:07:08
news. She doesn't have a bias or
00:07:09
anything, correct? Yeah.
00:07:11
We're still in a state of emergency if someone just
00:07:12
pointed out, we're still in a state of emergency, but he's off
00:07:15
in Montana. She was the first to report on
00:07:19
Tuesday evening. He was information at the
00:07:20
governor's office appeared load to disclose, although the office
00:07:24
said Friday, the governor had left, California, spend time
00:07:26
with family. It did not until Tuesday answer
00:07:29
questions about where he was, or one specifically, he would
00:07:32
return a notice noticeable difference from communication
00:07:35
surrounding other reason. Out-of-state trips a
00:07:40
spokesperson said, Tuesday, a Newsome hasn't yet booked his
00:07:42
return trip, but will return to California over the weekend.
00:07:45
Be back in office on Monday. Maybe he'll never maybe we can
00:07:49
only hope that he would never book a return trip.
00:07:52
The governor's office didn't respond to a question about why
00:07:54
that information wasn't initially shared, but one
00:07:57
possible reason can be that Montana is among the 22 states
00:08:01
to which California has banned state-funded and state-sponsored
00:08:04
travel, citing policies. It deems discriminatory to
00:08:08
lgbtq+ people. Montana is also one of the
00:08:12
state's Newsome office. Has called out for restricting.
00:08:15
Abortion access. Isn't that interesting?
00:08:17
His office at in June 24th, press release.
00:08:19
That Montana will likely ban the procedure following, the US
00:08:22
Supreme Court's recent decision. Overturn Roe v-- Wade, though,
00:08:25
local Outlets, a abortions, likely remain there for the
00:08:28
foreseeable. Future Anthony, York Newsome.
00:08:31
Senior advisor for communications told me.
00:08:33
Quote, we don't legislate where people vacation never have the
00:08:37
travel ban applies to expending State funds.
00:08:40
The governor's travel is not being paid for by the state and
00:08:43
quote asked if the state is paying for Newsome security,
00:08:46
while he is in Montana York, I said quote we don't comment or
00:08:49
provide details on the governor's security.
00:08:52
The parents of newsom's wife first partner, Jennifer sabeel,
00:08:56
new Simoni Ranch in Montana in the couple was married.
00:08:59
There in 2008, the reluctance newsom's office to share details
00:09:04
about the vacation contrasts sharply with clear communication
00:09:07
surrounding other recent out-of-state trips and suggest
00:09:09
the governor's aware of the politically perilous Optics of
00:09:12
vacation, a red State, while he attempts to position himself as
00:09:15
the Vanguard of the Democrat Democratic Party.
00:09:18
The strategy praised by colonists and National Outlets
00:09:20
such as the Washington Post and the Atlantic.
00:09:22
And he slams republican-led States for covid-19 policies and
00:09:26
high crime rates among other things.
00:09:28
For example, when Newsom is family, departed on vacation for
00:09:33
spring break, the governor's office disclosed that they would
00:09:36
be in Central and South America from March 30th to April 12th.
00:09:40
And last year, when Newsome, his family took a trip to
00:09:42
Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving the governor's office.
00:09:44
Sure. They would be in Mexico for
00:09:46
November 22nd to 28 and they haven't shared that.
00:09:51
So she's acting now. We have Governor lieutenant
00:09:54
governor elleni. Colin aqus is serving as the
00:09:56
acting Governor. She won't be taking any actions
00:10:00
on bills and that's basically it so interesting that he comes out
00:10:08
last week with his fourth of July.
00:10:09
I kind of attacking Florida and we all know why he's attacking
00:10:12
Florida. We know that he's attacking
00:10:15
Florida because he's trying to position himself.
00:10:17
Off in contrast to run to Santa's and I think if they're
00:10:24
looking at Insider baseball, the fact that they're all kind of
00:10:27
going after Ron De Santos shows that maybe the Insiders have an
00:10:31
inside track on, whether Rhonda Santa's plans on running or not
00:10:34
or maybe they know that The Insider polling is that Rhonda
00:10:36
Santa's would most likely be the prevailing candidate in probably
00:10:41
have the best chance of winning in the general election if it
00:10:44
was 2024. So the it's no Surprised why
00:10:48
he's already placing attack ads in Florida because he wants to
00:10:51
get that name recognition up there.
00:10:53
Now, remember Florida is, it may have changed a little bit since
00:10:56
Ron De Santos. And they've done a good job of
00:10:59
registering a lot more Republican voters, but it's
00:11:03
still close to a almost semi swing States been read the past
00:11:06
couple sessions, but it doesn't mean it's decidedly red.
00:11:09
It's not like, let's say, I'm trying to think of a deep red
00:11:13
State like Kentucky or something.
00:11:14
Where as soon as it hits 8 p.m., we all know it went red.
00:11:18
Velarde have to wait out a little bit.
00:11:20
There are some pockets of Deep Blue so he is already going
00:11:25
after these red States and he's always positioning himself.
00:11:28
As the potential candidate to replace Joe Biden in 2024 or
00:11:33
2028. Now it I don't think he really
00:11:36
needs to increase his National exposure.
00:11:40
Maybe he's trying to increase his National exposure in a
00:11:43
different way because I think a lot of people look at Newsome
00:11:46
and what's going on in California.
00:11:47
For Nia. And they say, I don't really
00:11:49
want what's going on in California to come to my state.
00:11:52
I would venture to say, I don't think a lot of midwest states or
00:11:55
swing states are going to look at Gavin Newsom and say I would
00:11:59
want, Gavin Newsom over Donald Trump or Rhonda Santa's.
00:12:05
And it's funny that he's now attacking the red States when he
00:12:11
is now, vacationing in a red State.
00:12:14
And again, this is just one of those things where Gavin Newsom,
00:12:16
he's Big on The Virtue signaling but he's not great on following
00:12:20
up. He is not someone who practices.
00:12:22
What? He preaches, we don't need to go
00:12:24
rehash. What happened at the French
00:12:26
Laundry. The French Laundry is the prime
00:12:28
example of what Gavin Newsom does, which is do as I say, not
00:12:33
as I do, meaning you have to lock down, you have to mask, you
00:12:36
have to stay home, you have to do all this.
00:12:38
You can open your restaurant. Don't go anywhere, stay home.
00:12:43
Keep your kids at home. Don't do any of this stuff, you
00:12:45
know, go to the grocery store if you absolutely.
00:12:47
Only have to to get your rations and go right back home.
00:12:51
Meanwhile he's having a Swanky meal with an oil and gas
00:12:54
lobbyists Jason Kenney. Look them up.
00:12:57
Jason Kenney, he's a big oil and gas lobbyists and best friend of
00:13:01
Gavin, Newsom and a fifteen thousand dollar bar tab.
00:13:04
Just for the bar tab is fifteen thousand dollars.
00:13:06
He's having a great time at the French Laundry, so he's
00:13:09
positioned himself to say these red states are horrible.
00:13:11
They're restricting a woman's right to choose and, you know,
00:13:14
freedom of speech because I guess he's going to talk about
00:13:16
the don't say, A bill and stuff like that, even though don't say
00:13:19
gay was never actually soldered in that bill and that was just
00:13:23
parroted by the media over and over and over and over again, to
00:13:26
the point where people just accept it.
00:13:28
Don't say gay was actually the bill.
00:13:30
That's just the power of framing it that the media said, it's
00:13:33
don't say gay and that's what it is.
00:13:36
So he's going after Florida mostly because he's not really
00:13:39
attacking a red State more. Like he's just attacking Rhonda.
00:13:42
Santa's now you see him he's going off to Montana which has
00:13:46
some of the stricter of Abortion laws.
00:13:48
I would venture to say that they probably will end up Montana
00:13:51
might have a stricter abortion law and in terms of banning
00:13:54
abortion, then Florida May ever have.
00:13:56
So for him to say that we're going to take a stand based on
00:14:00
this one issue of abortion and then go and vacation in a state
00:14:05
such as Montana for numerous times.
00:14:09
He likes to go back to I guess his wife is from there.
00:14:11
So make sense that they go back there and they own a big Ranch.
00:14:14
I wonder if it's sort of like Yellowstone style Ranch, maybe
00:14:18
it's like the Yellowstone. It's a really big Ranch but it
00:14:23
shows that he's not necessarily always practicing what he
00:14:26
preaches when it comes down to it.
00:14:28
And the fact that not only is the abortion access, the stances
00:14:32
against lgbtq which now there's these bands on what state travel
00:14:36
is because it's a big virtue signal.
00:14:38
A California won't send spend any taxpayer money to send
00:14:42
politicians to the states as if these states really give a crap
00:14:45
about whether or not California And show up or not, I don't
00:14:49
think Montana is worried about whether or not California foots,
00:14:52
the bill to send politicians to Montana.
00:14:57
But I mean we could talk about a lot of things that he doesn't
00:15:01
really want to talk about when it comes to whether or not.
00:15:04
California is more free than anyone else.
00:15:07
California May give the impression that is more free on
00:15:10
a lot of choices. And some of those things I would
00:15:15
not say our freedom in the sense that People usually think about
00:15:18
freedom, I would not consider the fact that opening drug areas
00:15:24
and open are tents where people can go and shoot up drugs as
00:15:28
some sort of Freedom. Now, if you're some sort of, you
00:15:32
know, if you're one of the Libertarians who believes that
00:15:33
you could do anything, you want with your body and you don't
00:15:35
believe in these cultural Wars. I guess you're fine with that.
00:15:39
And you think that's freedom. I don't think that's necessarily
00:15:42
a great way to keep Society together.
00:15:46
Maybe I'll do a whole episode on that.
00:15:47
Because I think that's really something interesting to talk
00:15:49
about when it comes to real. Are we accepting this in
00:15:53
society? Is this normal to acceptance
00:15:55
Society? Is it Freedom?
00:15:56
If you now have these people who are out there doing drugs,
00:16:00
impinging on your right to pry, it like your right to enjoyment.
00:16:03
Your right to walk down the sidewalk and all that.
00:16:08
But one of the biggest things is this bill, SB 9, 18.
00:16:12
Now, SB 9 18 has been amended got in an amended in.
00:16:17
Us to the New York case, the Berlin case that just came out
00:16:21
by carrying concealed. Now you didn't think that
00:16:23
California was going to sit idly by, right?
00:16:26
And just let this happen, they weren't just going to throw up
00:16:29
their hands and go. Well, I guess that's it.
00:16:32
I guess the Supreme Court says you have a right to carry and
00:16:35
conceal and you don't need good cause.
00:16:37
So now we're going to go get carrying concealed know you're
00:16:40
seeing a lot of these blue States.
00:16:42
Pushback on this New York was most recent they've added a
00:16:45
whole bunch of places they call. Sensitive places.
00:16:48
And if you read the opinion in Brewing, they talk about these
00:16:52
idea of sensitive places they're going to run with that as much
00:16:56
as possible, they're going to say, oh, well now all these
00:16:59
places are sensitive places. So now you can effectively carry
00:17:02
a gun. So here's some highlights.
00:17:05
Thanks to a Reddit, post, Earl Aki Balboa and it base.
00:17:10
I'm going to read them off to you to do to do it allows for
00:17:17
Issue. An agency to charge additional
00:17:19
fees, allows issuing agency to require Insurance, allows
00:17:23
issuing Insurance to require psych.
00:17:26
Eval is not to exceed, 150 dollars, allows issuing agency
00:17:29
to charge up to 200 dollars in fees and that can rise with the
00:17:33
California cost of living cannot carrying courts, which was
00:17:36
always true, can't carry in or around schools.
00:17:38
Sort of always true can carry it around churches.
00:17:41
Now, that's something different, you used to be, you could be
00:17:43
able to carry in a church, cannot carry in our around
00:17:46
airports bus. Bus stations train stations Etc.
00:17:48
As airports was yellow, you couldn't carry in airports, but
00:17:53
a lot of these bus stations, train stations all that.
00:17:55
But now this includes the parking lots of these places.
00:17:57
So even if you're going to pick up some on from these areas, you
00:18:00
can't carry your firearm cannot carry in or around buildings
00:18:04
under control of local government.
00:18:06
That's been around cannot carry in around hospitals.
00:18:08
Nursing home medical officers, urgent care or other place of
00:18:11
medical services are provided can't carry in or around
00:18:15
anywhere. That liquor is sold.
00:18:17
For consumption on the premises, that changes it because it used
00:18:21
to be, you could not carry your firearm into a bar and there was
00:18:25
a difference between a bar and what they called a Tavern, a bar
00:18:29
is exclusively a bar, you walk into you get a drink, they don't
00:18:32
really serve food. The general rule is more than 50
00:18:36
percent of their revenue comes from liquor.
00:18:38
You can carry in their so restaurants that have a bar.
00:18:42
You can go ahead and carry in that restaurant.
00:18:44
But now it's any where they serve alcohol you can carry in
00:18:47
their There cannot carry in or around public now, keeping my,
00:18:51
the language in or around. So basically, whatever around is
00:18:55
is basically in the area in or around public or special event
00:18:59
open to the public. That requires a permanent cannot
00:19:01
carry in or around a playground cannot carry in or around Parks
00:19:05
athletic areas, or Athletic Facility can carry in your gym.
00:19:08
Cannot carry in around colleges, cannot carry around in, or
00:19:11
around stadiums. Arenas, Etc, cannot carry in or
00:19:14
around Library, could not carry in our around zoos can.
00:19:17
Carry in our around, amusement parks, cannot carry it around,
00:19:20
museums cannot carry in, or around financial institutions,
00:19:23
cannot carry in or around any business that is open to public,
00:19:27
unless they have a slogan, allowing Firearms.
00:19:31
So the last one is really interesting.
00:19:35
Basically, any business in the state of California, any
00:19:39
business. So basically they've just said
00:19:41
any business that's open to the public.
00:19:43
You cannot carry your firearm. Right.
00:19:50
Unless they put a sign that says, you're welcome to carry
00:19:54
your firearms in here. You'd have to actually wait to
00:19:57
see if they have that sign before you enter that business.
00:20:02
That would effectively mean know where you can't carry in, or
00:20:06
around any business. That doesn't have that sign.
00:20:09
Where do you walk in California? You're going to be walking
00:20:13
around businesses and not every private business is going to
00:20:18
have a sign that Says, you are allowed and especially in a
00:20:21
state like California where it would be taboo, right?
00:20:26
That it would be taboo to say. We welcome carrying firearms,
00:20:29
unless you're in a really red County places like San Diego
00:20:33
County and most likely not going to get a lot of people who are
00:20:35
going to put a sign on their window and say yeah, come on in
00:20:37
with your carrying concealed, your you're basically not
00:20:41
allowed to carry anywhere anymore.
00:20:44
So if we're talking about Freedom definitely not on the
00:20:46
Second Amendment freedom and they knew that they were going
00:20:49
to You knew that California was going to do something like this.
00:20:52
New York is just down it. They're trying to basically make
00:20:56
everywhere sensitive place, but the caveat is and why I think
00:21:00
this is probably going to get challenged and lose and court is
00:21:05
Thomas said, in the opinion. And yes, that is when you hear
00:21:09
in the background my trusty Wednesday morning, host snoring
00:21:12
away, she's really active today. I think she's got something
00:21:16
stuck in her throat. She's got snots or something
00:21:19
Bulldogs that happens to him but in in the case he basically
00:21:26
said, you can deem an entire city.
00:21:31
A sensitive place like they tried to say New York City was a
00:21:35
sin at the entire city of New York, was a sensitive place
00:21:38
because the NYPD is there to protect you, which we know
00:21:42
that's not the truth. And we know that New York is not
00:21:45
the NYPD are not going to personally be bodyguards for
00:21:50
every single person in the entire city.
00:21:52
So you can't make an entire city.
00:21:54
This is proposed law. Someone just asked, is this
00:21:57
actual law? Is this proposed law?
00:21:59
Its proposed law right now pass? In the Senate's, going to the
00:22:02
assembly. The old gut in a man, where they
00:22:05
took a bill. That was something else and they
00:22:07
got amended it and turned it into something completely
00:22:09
different. Because they know that this
00:22:12
decision came down, they're going to say, well, yeah, you
00:22:15
can have your carrying concealed license, which they say in the
00:22:19
bill, they say, based on, you know, the Supreme Court ruling a
00:22:22
no longer should any County require good.
00:22:25
Cause someone asked, what the number is, its SB 9 18, so you
00:22:30
can go check it out. It's benign.
00:22:31
In 18, it's a long bill. They did a lot of, they put a
00:22:34
lot of stuff in there. A lot of Statistics that they
00:22:38
want to kind of shape public policy about, but you knew that
00:22:44
they weren't going to take this line down.
00:22:47
My thought that is that it will get challenged in court and if
00:22:50
they're following the Brewing ruling and how Thomas has laid
00:22:55
it out. A lot of this is going to get
00:22:58
struck down because you've effectively banned One's right
00:23:02
to carry out in public because based on this list you're not
00:23:06
going to be able to carry anywhere, right.
00:23:10
You're not going to be able to carry anywhere in the state of
00:23:12
California. Maybe in your car, you can carry
00:23:16
because you're not allowed to really carry in or around any of
00:23:20
these places. And you'd have to be in the
00:23:22
middle of nowhere to be, not around a private business, to be
00:23:26
not around a church to be not around any sort of government
00:23:29
building to be not around any sort.
00:23:31
Of school to be not around any of these places and the fact is
00:23:35
that they say in or around. So even if you're walking past a
00:23:38
bar, technically you're not supposed to be walking past a
00:23:42
bar with your carrying, concealed firearm, do I think it
00:23:46
will get challenged in court? Absolutely.
00:23:48
Do I think the Firearms policy Coalition is going to Sue for
00:23:53
it. Absolutely.
00:23:54
Do I think the California Rifle and Pistol?
00:23:56
So she is going to suit. Absolutely.
00:23:57
I think there's going to be huge pushback on this one and
00:24:01
hopefully we can get an emergency stay or preliminary
00:24:03
injunction saying look, you can't go this far.
00:24:06
Like yeah, you can deem some places sensitive.
00:24:09
But looking at the Bruin decision, you can't deem
00:24:13
basically everywhere. And I think that's what they're
00:24:15
trying to do is they're trying to see if they can play games
00:24:17
with this and see how long they can keep this in litigation.
00:24:20
The question is whether or not not they'll be able to get some
00:24:23
sort of preliminary injunction or emergency stay so that the
00:24:27
bill or the law doesn't go into effect.
00:24:29
It hasn't passed yet but I will believe it is absolutely going
00:24:32
to pass. And I think the only way maybe
00:24:35
we can get some sort of calling thing going that we can get a
00:24:39
lot of people to call in say vote, no on SB 918, but it's a
00:24:43
hot button issue. Right now, when it comes to guns
00:24:46
especially with the shootings that happened over Fourth of
00:24:48
July, you know, that there's going to be even more emphasis
00:24:51
on Gun control bills. So that's just one area when
00:24:55
we're talking about. Is there more freedom in
00:24:58
California? Now?
00:24:58
Let's talk about something else. Is there more freedom in the
00:25:01
state of California? If you are a business?
00:25:03
No, you're not, mostly likely going to get any more sort of
00:25:05
economic freedom. If you are a business here in
00:25:08
the state of California, one of the most prohibitory and costly
00:25:13
ways of doing business, which is, if you just want to set up
00:25:16
an LLC or Corporation in the state of California, you have to
00:25:20
pay an 800 dollar fee. Every single year.
00:25:24
And a lot of people may say, well, it doesn't sound like a
00:25:25
lot, but it's an 800 dollar fee to just have the privilege of
00:25:30
doing business in the state of California, and that's if you
00:25:33
owe no taxes. Meaning, if you've gone through
00:25:35
the entire year and you have a loss on your taxes, mean, you
00:25:38
didn't make any profit? It's your first year, it's a
00:25:40
rough. You're just getting going all of
00:25:42
a sudden, California slaps. You with an 800 dollar bill and
00:25:45
says, congratulations. You don't owe us any taxes, but
00:25:48
you do owe a mandatory eight hundred dollar fee.
00:25:52
Does that sound like it's more free to run your business here
00:25:55
in the state of California? If we want to talk about taxes,
00:25:57
we want to talk about payroll taxes.
00:25:59
They're trying to pass 18 dollar minimum wage here in the state
00:26:02
of California. So that small businesses mostly
00:26:05
the mom-and-pop. And remember most businesses are
00:26:09
the majority of businesses in America are under 100 people and
00:26:15
you have the thing. A lot of these are deemed small
00:26:18
businesses mom-and-pop, sort of places that have several
00:26:21
employees Now, if you jump the minimum wage in California up to
00:26:24
18, can you still run that business?
00:26:28
No, you most likely won't be able to, especially if you're
00:26:31
struggling to make ends meet. So that the tax is the
00:26:35
regulatory system. The fact that you have to abide
00:26:37
by so many different things to even get your business up and
00:26:40
running in California. There's probably no, I would, I
00:26:43
would say there's no economic freedom here in the state of
00:26:45
California. I mean, do we want to go into
00:26:49
what happened in the? My Sharona Cyrus pandemic, which
00:26:51
is all of the freedoms that were curtailed.
00:26:54
Then let's talk about the freedom of religion, freedom of
00:26:57
Legend was greatly curtailed here in the state of California.
00:27:01
Dorian covid, so much so that even the Supreme Court had to
00:27:05
step in and sort of be slap noodles.
00:27:08
And say, look you can't do this. You've gone way too far when it
00:27:12
comes to restricting, someone's right to Religious Freedom
00:27:15
Gorsuch, we've talked about it on this show, we talked about on
00:27:19
this podcast about his scathing opinion to California and Gavin
00:27:25
Newsom about what it means to Have these emergency powers and
00:27:30
how you still have to abide by the Constitution because if
00:27:33
there's no if we can just deem anything in emergency and throw
00:27:36
out the Constitution, then it's more likely that leaders in the
00:27:39
future. We'll figure out every sort of
00:27:41
thing to make an emergency and throughout the Constitution.
00:27:45
Freedom of religion, definitely not completely.
00:27:49
And I think we've seen a lot of their true colors.
00:27:51
Showing we've seen the mask kind of slip off when it comes to
00:27:55
California politicians. This state is here California.
00:27:58
Their position on the Constitution is that if they
00:28:01
could, if they could snap their fingers, they would get rid of
00:28:04
most of the Constitution tomorrow.
00:28:07
They don't believe in freedom of religion.
00:28:09
They didn't want you going to church.
00:28:11
They didn't want you to enjoy church.
00:28:13
They didn't want you to go congregate with other people.
00:28:15
They wanted you to do your Zoom calls.
00:28:17
They wanted to close churches. So now there is a permanent
00:28:21
injunction thankfully sort of the silver lining of.
00:28:24
That case was there is now a permanent injunction And
00:28:28
forever, forever, ever, ever, meaning a permanent injunction
00:28:32
that if there is ever a lockdown again and stuff, like liquor
00:28:36
stores and supermarkets are open, guess what?
00:28:39
Churches are part of that essential item.
00:28:41
That and that they have to remain open, but the horse was
00:28:45
already, let out of the barn. California didn't want churches
00:28:48
open. They didn't want people to
00:28:50
worship churches, synagogues, any sort of religious building.
00:28:53
They did not want you to go practice your religion.
00:28:57
So, Freedom of religion. Do we have that?
00:28:59
No, let's talk about freedom of speech.
00:29:02
You want to talk about freedom of speech?
00:29:03
Well, they did try and pass a bill and got a double check on
00:29:06
this whether or not it actually made it through that.
00:29:09
They wanted to fight back against quote misinformation now
00:29:13
a state basically deeming. What is misinformation and
00:29:15
passing the law as to what is Miss information shows you
00:29:20
can't. It's called a prior restraint
00:29:22
and you cannot do. So when it comes to speech a
00:29:24
government cannot already determine based on And over
00:29:28
broad determinations as to what speech is permissible or not.
00:29:32
Basically their whole standard is we know misinformation when
00:29:36
we see it. Now the citizens have no idea
00:29:38
what misinformation is because you may believe something.
00:29:41
Somebody else may believe something else and you don't
00:29:43
know until you get slapped by the state who says, no, this is
00:29:46
misinformation. And all I had to say that.
00:29:48
So talk about California, Democrats were trying to pass
00:29:51
this bill so that they can restrict your speech.
00:29:54
Do we have freedom to speech in this state?
00:29:56
Not Ali. And then when you have a B-29 08
00:30:00
or 2098, which is basically saying that if a doctor
00:30:07
prescribes or tells a patient, anything that's against the
00:30:11
approved narrative. Now remember the approved
00:30:13
narrative is a subjective structure as to what is the
00:30:19
approved narrative and science continually changes as you learn
00:30:22
more facts and you learn more stuff.
00:30:24
You're going to learn what is the truth.
00:30:27
What is closer to the truth? So for them to say, based on
00:30:32
today's science that we approve of, if you say something bad, we
00:30:37
could bring you in front of an Ethics board, and you can lose
00:30:39
your license. Is that freedom of speech for
00:30:41
the doctors know, it's not freedom of speech for the
00:30:43
doctors because now the doctors are forced to.
00:30:47
It'd be like saying that back in the old it like, in the black
00:30:51
plague, you know, that when the Black Plague was around, if
00:30:55
there was a doctor who said, hey maybe we shouldn't, Be getting
00:30:58
rid of cats because these rats are carrying infectious
00:31:01
diseases, maybe we should bring cats back and that wasn't the
00:31:05
approved narrative, but it was the correct narrative.
00:31:08
It would be like that. It would be like them taking
00:31:10
them out and you know setting them on fire for being a witch
00:31:14
or something like that. That's basically where we're at
00:31:18
is that the assembly wants to restrict the freedom of speech
00:31:20
for doctors here in the state boy.
00:31:24
Let's talk about freedom to choose.
00:31:25
Can you choose what you want to do?
00:31:29
Not really because it's sort of forced and coerced by the state,
00:31:33
the state tried to get through Cal OSHA, it tried to get
00:31:36
through all these different regulatory, is to get you to
00:31:40
have to take a vaccine. If you wanted to work, is that
00:31:43
the freedom to choose. So if you keep going down the
00:31:46
line, you can go through the first loop Boy winning.
00:31:50
So you even, she's getting really upset about all the
00:31:52
freedoms. You don't have, if you go
00:31:55
through just the Bill of Rights alone, you could go.
00:31:57
Down 1 through 10 and say, do you have this Freedom now?
00:32:01
Is you have this natural right? To Liberty, know you have this
00:32:04
natural light to rip, right to Liberty and you can just go down
00:32:09
one by one freedom to choose. No, you don't have freedom to
00:32:12
choose here in the state of California.
00:32:14
Do you have the freedom to say whatever you want?
00:32:16
As long as it's approved narrative, you can say whatever
00:32:18
you want in California. Do you have the right to your
00:32:21
property? Not necessarily because they
00:32:22
wanted figure out ways to take your property.
00:32:25
They want to raise property taxes.
00:32:28
And especially with the way SQL works, and all that, you
00:32:31
basically can't do anything environmental without this state
00:32:35
stepping in. And telling you you can't do
00:32:37
something with your property. Now all houses have to have
00:32:42
solar panels, so that's a huge industry and that's a huge sort
00:32:47
of Racket for the solar and pilot panel Industries, but I'm
00:32:49
getting off topic here. The point is, is that noodles
00:32:53
can't just for one thing or another say, oh we have more
00:32:57
freedom in here. And just point to one or two
00:32:59
Progressive which I like to call regressive policies and say
00:33:04
these are this is what makes us more free is because we're more
00:33:07
Progressive. AK were more regressive here he
00:33:10
can't sit there and say well we allow abortion up to nine months
00:33:14
so therefore we have more freedom here.
00:33:16
Well yeah I mean if that's your definition of freedom is that
00:33:19
you are free to abort or kill a child up until nine months in
00:33:23
the womb I guess technically you do have more freedom here but on
00:33:28
Entire scale. You don't have more freedom here
00:33:30
in the state of California than you do in Florida.
00:33:33
That's for sure. And then when it comes to
00:33:36
anything else do you have the freedom to choose?
00:33:39
Not necessarily. Do you have the freedom from
00:33:42
hate? That was a weird thing.
00:33:43
He said there's freedom from hey, freedom from what hate if
00:33:47
you're a conservative or anyone center right in the state of
00:33:50
California, you are basically demonized every Democratic
00:33:54
politician here in the state of California.
00:33:58
Just hates on anybody who disagrees with them without
00:34:01
impunity. So if he's talking about freedom
00:34:04
from, hey, because he mentions that in the, a do freedom to
00:34:06
hate, or freedom from hate, not freedom to hate freedom from.
00:34:10
Hey, if you raise your hand anywhere in the state of
00:34:13
California say, oh, I'm conservative, I'm center, right?
00:34:16
Or maybe I'm a little conservative on these issues.
00:34:18
How much hate, is spewed, your way?
00:34:21
Look at the biggest politicians here, who do nothing, but
00:34:24
mischaracterize what it means to be a republican.
00:34:27
Who say, All Republicans are insurrectionists, who supported
00:34:30
a Civil War and supported dictatorship and fascism.
00:34:33
And they're all neo-nazis and racist, and papa papa papa.
00:34:37
So there is no freedom from. Hey, especially if you're
00:34:40
someone who does not agree with the parties approved narrative
00:34:44
again, we're going back to that approved narrative from the
00:34:46
party and from Sacramento, you are not free from hate.
00:34:50
In fact, it's almost encouraged that you are hated upon here in
00:34:54
the state of California that you are.
00:34:57
Sized your cast out of society and that you were made to
00:35:01
believe that you are a bad person.
00:35:02
And then nobody believes in sort of the same things you believe
00:35:05
in and you're all by yourself. So, do I think he's spot on with
00:35:12
any of this? No, I think he's gaslighting the
00:35:15
hell out of people in Florida to try and believe that there's
00:35:19
more freedom. So I'm out in California.
00:35:21
And again, if your definition of more freedom is whether or not,
00:35:25
you can kill a child up until nine months in the womb.
00:35:28
Then I it's a warped way of saying, there's more freedom and
00:35:32
that California still believe in Freedom in the state.
00:35:36
And I don't see a lot of Floridians gone, you know what?
00:35:40
You're right, they do believe in more freedom.
00:35:43
I'm going to go back to California, and let's say, the
00:35:45
people who moved out, maybe those people who are going to
00:35:47
fly back or flee back to California.
00:35:50
Florida would probably be happy to see them gone.
00:35:52
Anyway, because if they're going to move based on one single
00:35:56
issue of abortion, then maybe they don't want them in the
00:36:00
State of Florida. Anyway, so with that said, that
00:36:04
was my long diatribe about whether or not we actually have
00:36:07
more freedom in the state of California or not.
00:36:11
I'm gonna pop it open for questions and commentary.
00:36:14
While I take a sip of coffee, you can hear the soothing sounds
00:36:18
of Winnie snoring in the background.
00:36:22
She has a funny way of like, she'll be super quiet, all
00:36:25
morning, you know, she's super quiet and then the way she like,
00:36:29
rolls around Hunter back or something, then she can't
00:36:31
breathe and she starts snoring, so happens, every podcast, every
00:36:35
time I do a podcast with her in the room, she always figures out
00:36:37
a way to roll over and snore. So, people are asking whether or
00:36:42
not there's a way to stop SB 918, it's still going through
00:36:46
the assembly. So let me pull this up where it,
00:36:50
where it is. And one, one site you can use if
00:36:55
you want to really start following these bills and you're
00:36:58
a nerd like me and you want to make sure you follow these
00:37:00
bills. Is you can go to open States
00:37:02
dot-org and you can follow all these bills so you can sign up.
00:37:05
It's free. You can the sign up for all this
00:37:07
stuff and you'll follow it and they'll give you an update on
00:37:09
what's going on with the bill. Right now is introduced in the
00:37:12
senate in February 3rd, 2022 passed in the Senate on April,
00:37:16
18, 20 22. But it has been gutted and
00:37:20
amended As of June 28th. So, do pass as amended.
00:37:26
Meaning that it was amended, and they passed it as amended.
00:37:30
And now, I have to go back to the Appropriations Committee.
00:37:33
Do you recommend getting a concealed carry permit for new
00:37:35
laws? Get enacted that restricted.
00:37:37
I, yeah, I say go get it now, you know, go get it.
00:37:40
Now, go apply right now because this could get tangled up in
00:37:47
court and I wouldn't say just wait on it.
00:37:51
So, Yeah, I would definitely recommend if you haven't go, do
00:37:55
it right now. Go figure out, you know, go
00:37:58
submit the application, go get your name in there because a lot
00:38:00
of these counties are going to take a long time to get this
00:38:03
stuff through. So yeah, absolutely go and get
00:38:08
your CCW and I think like I said I do think this is going to get
00:38:12
challenged in court. I do think a lot of its going to
00:38:14
get struck down. They may say like the history
00:38:17
and tradition. Remember the rule is playing
00:38:20
textualism in the history and tradition of Carrying concealed
00:38:23
means that's the second amendment.
00:38:24
Now, the history and tradition history and tradition is shown.
00:38:28
There are sensitive spaces, which throughout history of our
00:38:33
American history that we can say, these are sensitive places
00:38:35
government buildings, court, stuff like that.
00:38:38
Fine. It makes sense because in a lot
00:38:41
of government buildings, there is Security in every courtroom.
00:38:45
There's a bailiff that is armed. So you don't really need to
00:38:47
carry whether or not you trust that that one bailiff is going
00:38:51
to protect you. That's up to you.
00:38:55
But a lot of other things like private businesses and
00:38:57
restaurants and stuff like that, you can run into violence or a
00:39:00
threat in any of those places. So that's sort of the idea and
00:39:02
there's no there's not security every single private business.
00:39:06
That's really what it's going to come down to is that if you're
00:39:09
going if you could potentially see some sort of threat of
00:39:12
violence at any of these places, you should be able to carry
00:39:15
their churches are another thing.
00:39:16
A lot of churches don't have security So that's why they
00:39:19
allow people to carry in churches.
00:39:21
So we'll see what happens. Hopefully, it doesn't get passed
00:39:24
soon because I'll be disappointed.
00:39:26
I went through all this work to get a carrying concealed and
00:39:28
then they pass this bill and I can't really carry it anyway.
00:39:30
So is there a way to get the emergency powers taken away, who
00:39:35
needs to propose this? Well, there are two ways to get
00:39:38
rid of emergency powers in the state of emergency in the state
00:39:41
of California. The one is the governor can.
00:39:46
He can declare it over at the soon as possible.
00:39:49
Date. Right now, I think the soon as
00:39:54
possible Day Has Come and gone. I think we've, we've already
00:40:00
been passed that. So the fact that he hasn't given
00:40:04
it up yet, he's going to say well it's still out there covid
00:40:07
still out there. I mean if that's your bar and
00:40:09
he's just going to say covid is still out there.
00:40:13
Covid going to be out there for a long time and covid-19 going
00:40:16
away. It's going to be like the flu.
00:40:18
It's going to be one variant of a respiratory illness that we
00:40:21
have now in our society. So I think he's blown past that
00:40:27
requirement and the legislature can get rid of it.
00:40:31
You can have the legislature remove his emergency Powers but
00:40:34
you don't see. The Democrats are not going to
00:40:37
be removing his emergency Powers anytime soon because Why would
00:40:44
they it gives them the ability to kind of point a new some to
00:40:47
get everything done on their behalf and they don't really
00:40:49
have to do as much and they can focus on these dumb.
00:40:51
Whoa, Clause that Scott weiner loves to propose.
00:40:54
So, let's see. I can see them passing this.
00:40:58
There's no opposition that Capital Kevin Kylie and one
00:41:00
other person I've seen oppose these horrible laws, they pass,
00:41:05
maybe I am black pilled but as long as they that supermajority
00:41:09
is power noodles in the legislation will pass, whatever
00:41:11
they want with no pushback. Yeah.
00:41:13
And this is something I've said numerous times and I'll keep
00:41:17
saying it until I'm blue in the face.
00:41:19
The legislature could be, that is the biggest linchpin that we
00:41:23
can focus on and really start working towards flipping.
00:41:26
A lot of people always I want to say a little you know who's for
00:41:29
governor, we need a governor, we need Larry all there.
00:41:31
We need someone to come in and save the state.
00:41:34
Larry Elder could have came in as a governor in the recall.
00:41:38
He could have tried to get stuff past, you have a democratic
00:41:40
super majority. They're not going to agree with
00:41:42
him on anything. And even if they wanted to pass
00:41:45
laws, he could veto stuff lll, just go back to legislature and
00:41:50
they'll just override it because there is that ability that if
00:41:53
there's two thirds majority and I was a supermajority, you can
00:41:56
pass legislation. Oscillation.
00:41:57
You don't even need a governor. That's the biggest thing.
00:42:01
And the numbers are not as big as people think they are, right?
00:42:04
I think it's like six Senators. We need to flip and there's no
00:42:08
more supermajority and that does change the power of things.
00:42:13
A lot that does change the balance of things a lot in the
00:42:16
state legislature. Even more important than the
00:42:19
governor's race. I think every Californian should
00:42:22
be laser-focused on their state legislatures, you To be focused
00:42:27
on Hoosier, State Assembly, who's in your state senate,
00:42:30
because these have an enormous impact impact on your day-to-day
00:42:34
lives. These bills have an enormous
00:42:36
impact on your day-to-day lives. And when you get rid of that
00:42:40
supermajority and make it more even it does change.
00:42:44
What comes through the legislature.
00:42:46
You don't get all these woke bills.
00:42:48
You don't get a lot of these things that will that look super
00:42:52
crazy to the rest of the world and it does require a little bit
00:42:56
more. Bargaining, if they lose that
00:42:58
supermajority. So.
00:43:00
I always say focus on your state legislators because that's
00:43:03
really what it comes down. To more importantly than
00:43:06
Governor, we got to make sure the legislature is squared away
00:43:09
because once that squared away you can do a lot more and it
00:43:14
does, it's like a tourniquet, it stops the bleeding for a little
00:43:17
bit. It's kind of a temporary fix
00:43:20
until you can get really more remedy in there.
00:43:23
But as of right now that's what you really have to focus on.
00:43:26
What are the odds of us being able to flip those six
00:43:28
legislators? Well, it depends on where
00:43:32
they're running. I'm trying to think of any
00:43:35
Senate, State Senate races that are up in that are closed.
00:43:41
You know, it's tough because well, there's not that many
00:43:47
senators. There should be more Senators.
00:43:49
That's for sure. There's not enough senators in
00:43:51
the legislature. They should expand Senators to
00:43:53
one per County so it should be in.
00:43:56
That should be their jurisdictional area as one per
00:43:58
County. You should have one.
00:44:00
Senator Per County, and that's it. 58 Senators, one per County
00:44:05
and it really? Yeah, it does.
00:44:08
Depend on who the opposition is and who is running and where
00:44:13
they're running in those specific areas.
00:44:16
But it doesn't mean it's, it's completely at it.
00:44:18
A lot of people think it's a hundred percent Democrat.
00:44:22
It's not a hundred percent Democrat.
00:44:25
At is a issue of you do, have to get better, people who are
00:44:27
running. You have to look at sort of
00:44:30
Shane, you have to kind of fix registration and not a lot of
00:44:33
this is going to be super easy. Not a lot of it is going to be
00:44:36
overnight, but it does have to come from somewhere.
00:44:39
It does have to come from people asking questions, it does have
00:44:41
to come from people getting involved and it does have to
00:44:44
come from people having these conversations about politics in
00:44:48
California and saying. Okay, there's got to be other
00:44:51
people who think like me or at least are closer to what I think
00:44:56
then what I'm being told in the media.
00:45:00
And I think there is a, as California, lurches, farther and
00:45:03
farther left. There is an opportunity to
00:45:07
switch minds and kind of bring people back towards the center,
00:45:11
maybe center right over time. So but yeah, state legislators
00:45:16
are the most important. You have to focus on your state
00:45:19
legislators because That's really where a lot of the power
00:45:25
is. I mean, I'm an ER I'm a wonky
00:45:28
belief, state legislatures are an incredibly important part of
00:45:31
our American Republic but that's a whole different show.
00:45:35
My confidence are opposed to sin is not high or at all.
00:45:38
Yeah, and we've talked about this before, in terms of a lot
00:45:44
of people just immediately go from.
00:45:46
Well, my guy lost, therefore it was rigged.
00:45:52
And in reality, it's not that it's the fact that Democrats
00:45:55
have the numbers. A lot of people, like to point
00:45:57
towards the recall and they say, like, oh, they're recall shows
00:46:00
that noodles cheated to get back into office and he betrayed to
00:46:04
recall, I don't believe that. I believe he had the numbers.
00:46:09
I believe that they were able to drum up enough fear with Larry
00:46:15
Elder and his Trump connections that it motivated his base right
00:46:20
before the election. Until then it was pretty evenly
00:46:24
split on whether or not they were going to get rid of them.
00:46:26
Meaning, there were these other candidates like, Kevin Faulkner
00:46:29
and Kim, and Kylie, and John Cox who were running against them.
00:46:32
And it was pretty almost evenly split, you know, within the
00:46:35
margin of error, who, what was going to happen?
00:46:37
No one really knew. So it was Larry, I, you know, I
00:46:43
say Larry Alders entrance did kind of sealed the deal because
00:46:48
he was the Trump Republican. That Gavin Newsom was waiting
00:46:50
for in the minute. Larry, all their stepped in
00:46:53
there was enough. You know, you saw that ad 100
00:46:57
times a day just Larry Elder and Trump sitting next to each
00:47:01
other, just the whole entire thing.
00:47:04
Just Trump and Larry all their Trump and Larry Elder and then
00:47:06
enough people were saying, well I don't want Larry Elder, so I'm
00:47:09
going to go vote and to keep Newsom in office.
00:47:13
Although before then there was a lot of there was a lot of
00:47:19
apathy, there are a lot of people who weren't really
00:47:22
excited to go out and vote for Newsom in the recall.
00:47:25
But the most important thing is, is that you can't just
00:47:30
automatically revert to, if my person loses then, it must be
00:47:35
rigged. Now, you have to step back and
00:47:37
the only way we're going to get better, and I get a lot of
00:47:39
pushback for me, calling out Republic.
00:47:42
Because people say oh you're not supposed to fight against
00:47:44
Republicans or the number one. What is it?
00:47:49
The number one commandment from Reagan is that you're that
00:47:51
you're not supposed to talk ill of other Republicans and I say
00:47:56
look if you're going to sit here and you're going to pretend
00:47:58
you're a perfect party and that everyone you put forward is
00:48:01
perfect. You're never going to learn,
00:48:02
you're never going to get better.
00:48:03
You're never going to figure out what did we do?
00:48:05
Wrong, how do we get better? What kind of messaging do we
00:48:08
have? And that's really the big
00:48:10
problem with the California GOP is that they've basically,
00:48:12
Luckily just been doing the same thing for the past 40 or 50
00:48:14
years in and saying oh well if we just push this same message,
00:48:19
we've been pushing since Ronald Reagan was governor things will
00:48:22
work, you know it will just keep pushing this message.
00:48:25
And instead saying, okay, what kind of candidates did we run?
00:48:28
How was our messaging, how did we get out to people?
00:48:31
What are people really interested in?
00:48:32
What are the issues people are really interested in and how do
00:48:35
we reach those voters? How do we get the right
00:48:37
messaging? How do we get that stuff
00:48:39
completed? So we actually make inroads And
00:48:43
that's really what politics is about.
00:48:45
And if you can't step back and go, man, we really screwed up on
00:48:49
this one. We need to get better.
00:48:53
Then you're never going to get better, and if you just
00:48:56
continually blame its cheating or it's about harvesting or
00:48:59
something like that, it's never going to get better.
00:49:01
So, Let's see. People need to go to their
00:49:05
offices and talk with a reps, you can call an email them, but
00:49:09
when they have a woken turn answering those calls and Reno's
00:49:11
emails. How many get to the Reps?
00:49:14
They have to I believe they have to log it.
00:49:16
So the woke interns can't follow with it that much.
00:49:22
So, Still call. I mean, still call it.
00:49:26
They want you to be demoralized and not do this stuff, right?
00:49:30
They want you to be demoralized so you don't do this stuff.
00:49:34
We need to Rally our conservative family, friends to
00:49:36
get out there and vote the bigger.
00:49:37
The voting numbers, the more of a chance we have.
00:49:40
Yeah, I mean Cylon, I don't know if there's enough conservatives.
00:49:43
I mean a lot, conservatives, are dismayed here in California.
00:49:47
They don't want to vote. They think it doesn't really
00:49:49
make a difference. But if you tell them, your vote
00:49:51
has a big difference in the state legislature, maybe because
00:49:55
everyone kind of just Waits until the presidential year, and
00:49:58
they go, oh, I'm not going to vote for the president because
00:49:59
it doesn't make a difference here in California when reality
00:50:02
you should be saying, yeah, well, you know this, He bill
00:50:05
that they just passed, guess what?
00:50:07
It doesn't come from. The president comes from the
00:50:09
state legislature and guess what, your vote in the state
00:50:11
legislature has a lot more impact than it does for
00:50:14
president United States. So there has to be more of a
00:50:17
focus on the local. Yeah.
00:50:20
Major Williams can't do wrong amongst tribal Republicans.
00:50:23
That's true. You know?
00:50:25
Because he's perfect. Right?
00:50:26
He's the perfect candidate, open, Maya people and wedding is
00:50:29
the way to be better. We need to play offensively.
00:50:32
They need to be a voice of people.
00:50:33
They've forgotten That, absolutely, I think you play
00:50:37
offensively by Framing the argument.
00:50:40
You play offensively by Framing the argument where you set the
00:50:44
standards as to what the argument is.
00:50:46
And for so long, Republicans have not done that here in the
00:50:49
state of California where they basically just reacted to
00:50:53
everything Democrats have done. And that's the wrong way to go
00:50:56
about it. You don't want to just react to
00:51:00
everything the Democrats do because you're going to argue in
00:51:03
their Paradigm and you're going to lose.
00:51:04
Ten out of ten times you have to create a new paradigm and you
00:51:07
have to frame a new argument where they're going to they're
00:51:13
going to argue against you. Like explain you present an
00:51:16
argument and have them try and argue against you and most
00:51:20
likely they're going to lose. But the California GOP is not
00:51:24
doing done a good job of that. I don't think there's been
00:51:26
enough of a Groundswell, a Grassroots organization to get
00:51:32
that going where As our sort of trained on how to frame the
00:51:38
argument and how to talk to voters on issues that really
00:51:42
matter to them, that will get Democrats and moderate
00:51:45
Democrats, and independents to come over and vote for them.
00:51:49
So I think there's a, there's an opportunity there which, you
00:51:52
know, we are going to move forward with the Calla Publican.
00:51:54
Caucus things are starting to look out.
00:51:56
We're starting to organize again for the cowl public and caucus.
00:51:59
So things are looking up for that.
00:52:01
Got more people on board so hopefully You'll start to hear
00:52:05
some stuff coming out about the Calla Publican caucus soon.
00:52:10
Not voting is a vote for the status quo that's well put yeah
00:52:14
not voting. Is waving the White Flag?
00:52:16
Absolutely exactly. They want you to waste energy on
00:52:21
their narrative, then we don't get our message up.
00:52:23
Yeah, you don't, you don't want to argue in their narrative and
00:52:27
that's the most important thing. You do not want to argue in the
00:52:31
Democrats narrative. You almost want to take your
00:52:34
entire Our argument away from them and create new arguments.
00:52:39
And then say, okay look we're over here arguing.
00:52:42
Why nuclear is the better energy and it's just been deemed.
00:52:46
I saw this literally this morning.
00:52:48
That the EU Parliament has deemed nuclear energy a green
00:52:51
energy. Meaning, it's now got the seal
00:52:53
of approval for all the woke people out there that nuclear
00:52:55
energy is now green energy and you have to argue why nuclear is
00:53:00
better. Why could provide you know,
00:53:03
lower cost of electricity? Especially for those lower and
00:53:05
working-class Californians. Why?
00:53:08
It's been proven safe, Y is zero carbon all that stuff and that's
00:53:12
why you have to come out and you have to frame the argument and
00:53:16
start that argument and then when Democrats come along and
00:53:18
say well no no we cam nuclear energy because it's bad for the
00:53:21
environment, really? I just laid out why it's good
00:53:25
for the environment, it's better for the environment.
00:53:28
Then let's say your wind turbines, which kill how many
00:53:31
birds or solar panels, which are not receptacle.
00:53:34
Humble and you have to create the argument.
00:53:40
So that's, that's basically what what you have to do.
00:53:47
Who declared that? Oh, the EU Parliament?
00:53:49
I saw this morning declared that nuclear energy is now green
00:53:54
energy. So it's now got the seal of
00:53:55
approval in Europe that they're going to start using nuclear
00:53:58
energy. And I think people are starting
00:54:00
to realize that nuclear energy is the way to go.
00:54:05
Did to do. So is a cowl public needs to
00:54:07
talk with the legs at movement? Huge voter base disenfranchised
00:54:10
with the left and right has been absent in California.
00:54:13
Just anyone talking to people is has really been absent in all of
00:54:18
California. That's really what it comes down
00:54:20
to. There's really been this void.
00:54:21
There is no opposition in the state of California because
00:54:24
people, just a lot of people have just given up, you know,
00:54:27
the national California or the national Republican party is
00:54:29
basically written off California outside of a couple.
00:54:34
All seats which they then get to boast about come the next cycle
00:54:41
and say, oh, well look, we flipped three congressional
00:54:46
seats and nothing against people who are running for congress.
00:54:49
You know, that Tamika Hamilton on Whose we love to make a
00:54:52
Hamilton. But at the end of the day, when
00:54:55
you're talking about what's happening here in the state of
00:54:57
California, Sending people to Congress, doesn't necessarily
00:55:01
change. What's Happening Here in
00:55:04
California. It doesn't have the effect of
00:55:07
what's Happening Here. 3 miles away from DC because you
00:55:11
have a legislature that is so completely overrun with
00:55:14
Democrats that What are you going to do?
00:55:19
I mean, but what they don't focus on that, they don't focus
00:55:21
on the fact that they can actually start to win those
00:55:23
races if they have better messaging and they have better
00:55:26
candidates who can actually get the word out and start to get
00:55:29
voters who are disenfranchised by the Democrats, and give them
00:55:32
a better option. Because if you ever talked to a
00:55:35
Democrat and gotten them to the point where they're basically
00:55:40
like, You know I agree on some of these things I agree on some
00:55:44
of this stuff and you say oh well you're kind of like
00:55:46
fiscally conservative side and they say oh I'm libertarian and
00:55:49
stuff like that but they don't want to join the libertarian
00:55:51
party. It shows you there's sort of a
00:55:54
battle between their own political ideologies because
00:55:59
there are stuff, they believe that's fiscally conservative,
00:56:01
but there's some stuff socially liberal that they they believe
00:56:04
in as well. And the problem is that for some
00:56:08
reason they just go with the socially liberal and leave.
00:56:11
Out the fiscally conservative because they're afraid of I
00:56:14
guess their ego or they want to feel like they're a good person
00:56:18
because they voted for the socially Liberal Party even
00:56:22
though none of the stuff that I think they do in California that
00:56:26
they say a socially Progressive, I think it's socially
00:56:28
regressive, that's just me. This is why we need to focus
00:56:33
locally cities have a huge impact on what happens in our
00:56:36
daily lives. Yeah, that's a great comment.
00:56:39
Because California is so big, right?
00:56:44
California is so big that you can insulate yourself with a
00:56:50
good County Board supervisors with a good mayor with a good
00:56:55
city council. And we saw it firsthand and
00:56:59
covid where they were County, Supervisor whole boards.
00:57:02
Said, we're not listening to the dictates of what's come out of
00:57:04
Sacramento. We're not going to close down
00:57:06
business is we're not going to do this, we're not going to
00:57:08
require Mass, you know, we had a mayor here in San Diego.
00:57:13
Who said, look, I'm not going to require all.
00:57:15
I'm not going to shut down businesses.
00:57:16
I know these are people's lives. I'm not going to use our police
00:57:19
to shut down businesses and basically, he is just one mayor
00:57:24
who said, look, I'm just not going to listen to it and the
00:57:27
fight it. So, yeah, local does have an
00:57:30
impact in California is Is so big.
00:57:33
It is like its own country where if enough local entities kind of
00:57:37
don't listen to what the state says.
00:57:39
You've kind of nullified what the state is doing which is
00:57:43
great. I mean that's nullification you
00:57:46
can talk about nullification on the national scale which is
00:57:48
where states don't listen to federal laws and they don't
00:57:52
abide by federal laws, that's nullification well.
00:57:55
And you can also do the same thing here in California.
00:57:57
Which is where the counties say we're not going to do a
00:58:00
Sacramento says, so it's state nullification.
00:58:02
Mission. So that's why it's even more
00:58:05
important to focus on local politics, because you can
00:58:07
insulate yourself. If you think Sacramento is
00:58:10
absolutely lost, its mind, which it has.
00:58:13
You can absolutely just get those local politicians in
00:58:16
there. Make sure they stick to their
00:58:19
guns, and let them take the brunt force of it, and protect
00:58:22
their citizens. So let's see.
00:58:27
The City of Palmdale has a law against vaccine passports and
00:58:31
third-party sharing of our information.
00:58:33
We stand against the County of Los Angeles.
00:58:35
There you go. See cities are important.
00:58:39
Kitty City gets his power from the cities that form it.
00:58:41
The County Supervisor County Board of Supervisors can make
00:58:45
ordinances, so they can vote on stuff that you would have to
00:58:49
abide by. So at least here in San Diego.
00:58:54
That the county can sign ordinances as well and make
00:58:58
their own laws because it's a governmental body as well.
00:59:02
So with that said, I'm going to end for today, thanks for
00:59:07
everyone. There's going to be new products
00:59:10
