California Underground: Your Sane Insight into California Politics

Jenner is on the scene...and nobody is happier than Fox News who can get people to tune in.  San Diego County schools using COVID cash to cover up budget deficits.  Appellate Court gives Newsom a scary precedence to continue using his emergency powers.  Show Is Now Being Simulcast on IG Live @californiaunderground Show Links San Diego School Districts Still Face Deficits Despite Flo...

For the first time ever, the recording of the podcast is being live streamed on IG Live to allow for followers and listeners to interact.  Joe Biden made a statement that "We the people" means the government, which is a terrifying and incorrect statement.  Judicial Watch discovers that the CA Govt was working with Big Tech to take down what they said was "misinformation." Newom's "behest...

On this episode I speak with Dr. Melanie Burkholder who is a candidate running for the 76th Assembly District in the California legislature.  We discuss her background, her motivation to run, the time President Bill Clinton hit on her when she was on Secret Service detail, and plenty of other topics.  Read more about her issues and campaign and support her by going to www.melanieforassem...

Welcome to all the new listeners who followed this week. I promise to work hard to keep providing quality analysis and insight into California politics.  Dems attempt to pack SCOTUS, but we're saved by Nancy Pelosi? A rundown of the Major Williams drama for the past week. Where we are and where I believe it will go. Also what we learned from all of it.  Dr. Chau, the Public Health Direct...

Biden unveiled his new EO on gun control that was announced with plenty of lies about what it actually goes after. Is it a threat or is it nibbling around the margins? Richard Grenell starts organization called "Fix California" which aims to sue states to clean up voter rolls and register voters as Republicans.  Noodles announces (maybe) we will fully reopen on June 15th. But it leaves many q...

The Left has become everything they hated about the "Religious Right" of the Bush years. Sanctimonious and unyielding in their want for you to adhere to their lifestyle.  MLB caves to bullying and "punishes" Georgia by moving the All Star game out of the state.  Mexico working harder to protect our borders and stem the migrant crisis than President Biden is.  Show Links This One Cal...

On this episode I have a special guest @GoldenStatePatriot from Instagram on and we have a discussion about Major Williams whether he's for real or not.  We do a deep dive into his past as well as his association with Joe Collins (and some history about him as well). Our thoughts on how it plays out in the upcoming recall election.  Bonus discussion about "Progress to Purple" Show Links Major Will...

President Biden in his eternal greatness gives us tentative permission to have a small gathering for the Fourth of July. Only if we are good though.  Newsom's speech in an empty stadium was the perfect backdrop to all the emptiness of his time as Governor.  Wall Street Journal vindicates Governor DeSantis on his approach.  San Francisco bailed out by Relief Package. No pain felt for...

With Texas, Mississippi, and even Connecticut lifting their COVID restrictions, what is the over/under on California fully reopening? There's a lot of factors that go into it.  HR1 which passed the House this week is a wish list of what Democrats would like in elections to guarantee they always have the advantage. It is their effort to codify everything that went wrong in the 2020 election, a...

California Republicans need to start going on offense hard in California. They may never have a better shot than right now to catch Democrats flat footed.  Biden gets his Establishment cred and starts bombing the Middle East. Military Industrial Complex celebrates.  Newsom off teleprompter appears frazzled. Also a new poll shows 47% of Californians would vote to recall Noodles compared t...

California is one of the last states to reopen public schools for in person learning. The California Teacher's Association won't budge and Noodles doesn't seem to want to press them on it. So parents are starting to get into school choice. We discuss how school choice can break the monopoly unions and government can have on our children's education.  Noodles attempts to re-brand as the recall...

The Left spent all of 2020 using the horrors and fear of COVID to meet their goals. However, now they are in the driver's seat, they are starting to realize they may have gone too far and can't turn back time.  John Cox, former Gubernatorial Candidate of 2018 who was clobbered by 22 points, thinks that losing by 22 points two years ago is a definite sign he should run again. He's a weak and b...

2021 is rapidly shaping up to be the year of the Elites vs. the Populists. Between the GameStop Reddit Rebellion and now the Time magazine saying they "fortified" the 2020 election, it's becoming more and more obvious that those in power are consolidating power. The question is, how will the people respond? Kevin Faulconer, in no surprise move, formally announces his run for Governor. A discussion...

Mark my words. With the help of the media and Democratic governors and mayors, Joe Biden will "defeat" COVID in the first 100 days of his Presidency.  Death rates in California have come down from 5.9% in May to 1.8% in December. Yet we're locking down even harder? State Senator Scott Weiner of SB145 fame is now following up his radical bill, with another radical bill which looks to legalize...

After the events of January 6th, it is no surprise that the Establishment will use this opportunity to clamp down on any future outsiders holding the White House any time soon.  Piggy backing off the chaos in the Capitol, San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher calls anyone who supports the Recall effort against Gavin Newsom as "Pro Trump extremists" and says the organizers are linked to...

The fight doesn't stop on January 20th. Stop waiting for a savior and start getting out there and making things happen. It won't be easy, but nothing that is worth doing ever is.  Recall passes 1 million signatures. Only 500,000 to go with even more support and attention.  The EDD scandal continues to spiral out of control with California possibly being on the hook for $50 billion. ...

For the final show of 2020 we look back on everything we learned this year and where to go moving forward.  Noodles extends lockdowns into February. Why? Because of science that's why.  A San Diego Superior Court judge issues a preliminary injunction to allow restaurants to reopen. (This is why you make it a priority to vote local) Noodles and his lobbyist BFF up to no good again. This t...

California is in the middle of a street fight and the Democrats have no problem playing dirty. Meanwhile our CAGOP plays arts and crafts and continues to ask for your hard earned money to do...well not sure what they do with it.  UBI Bill is introduced in California. Assemblyman Low (D-Campbell) says "People don't need tax breaks - they need real money in their pockets." Read that a couple ti...

California is headed for more lockdowns, but this time based on regions and ICU capacity (whether those in the ICU have COVID or not). But will people comply this time around? King Noodles really rules like a true aristocrat. He's created disdain among many voting blocks including small business owners, minorities, public unions, and even Democratic supporters. Is there an opportunity to bring the...

In a 5-4 decision from the Supreme Court, Justice Gorsuch sends shock waves through the legal world by saying without apology that it is high time the courts get off the sidelines and start protecting constitutional rights of citizens.  After a supporter sent me a video of Major Williams at a march with BLM members present, I reposted it on my IG page. Now Major Williams is calling me out as...

LaundryGate has shown us the hypocrisy of Newsom this past week in a startling display. Not only does he not listen to his own guidelines, he is dining with an oil and gas lobbyist who was awarded oil permits in 2019 when Newsom became Governor. For all the greenies out there who think Newsom cares about climate change and the environment, take note that he says one thing in public and does anothe...

Not to concede anything with all that is going on and what can be coming down the pike, but a look at why a Biden administration will ultimately be disappointing and uneventful.  Justice Alito issues harsh criticisms and warnings on the COVID lockdowns and calls them a "constitutional stress test." He fears that executive branches in state governments have gotten too powerful and I tend to ag...

Open up discussing how the Roman Empire fell because the ruling elite started to detach themselves from the people they governed and instead treated them like subjects they ruled over. Is America headed for this fate? Trump has a path to victory. A couple dominoes have to fall his way but it certainly is possible for him to win the White House. We discuss the path.  Based on California's ball...

Last episode before the election. Lots to cover.  Early voting numbers look great for President Trump all over the country. It will have to be a huge win so the Left doesn't try any funny business to flip a few states their way.  Governor Moonbeam emerges to wonder why Trump supporters (like his own neighbor) are horrible people and why they won't just support a President Biden who will...

President Trump pulled off a more Presidential debate where he held Biden's feet to the fire. Now can he ride the wave of momentum to a win in less than two weeks? All the Lockdown Lovers have no sympathy for Disneyland being closed because they are a multi billion dollar company. But do they realize that closing businesses have a ripple effect throughout the local economy? Like a $5 billion rippl...
