Episodes

Episode 42 - Pence Dominates In Debate, Left Tries to Distract, No on Prop 16 09.10.2020

Pence was incredibly successful at dismantling all of Harris's arguments. So much so that now the Left is working to distract about anything but that debate.  $35 million contract with Biden friendly PR Firm was cancelled because Secretary of State Alex Padilla doesn't have the power to make such budgetary decisions.  We also discuss Prop 16 and how it plans on stopping discrimination by...

Episode 41 - Debate Analysis, Gov Newsom Moves COVID Goalposts Again, Prop 19 Hikes Property Taxes 02.10.2020

Debate analysis and President Trump's COVID diagnosis breakdown.  Governor Newsom moves the goalposts again on reopening by adding a new "equity" requirement to restrictions creating another hurdle to stop counties from reopening.  Prop 19 is another attack on property taxes. This time they are trying to tax property owners who transfer property within their family. Just like Prop 15, it...

Episode 40 - The Radical Left as Spoiled Children, 1.5 Million People Waiting on Unemployment, Fracking & Electric Cars Ban 26.09.2020

The Radical Left has really become unhinged when they don't get their way. They seem to throw themselves on the floor whenever they don't get their way.  Gavin's task force quietly dumps bad news about the unemployment backlog at the same time the world was reeling from the news of the death of RBG. 1.5 million people are still waiting for help that was promised to them. So what's Gavin's sol...

Episode 39 - Sparks of Revolution, Joe's Take on Chicken Poop, CA SOS GIves $35 Million to Pro Biden Firm, CAGOP Dropping the Ball on Recall 18.09.2020

Joe had his first town hall last night and it was...interesting to say the least. It seems you can set your watch to Biden's mental decline. About 15-20 minutes and he's spent and we saw it in his town hall. At minute 21 he says nobody would have died from COVID if President Trump did what he was supposed to and also waxes poetically about the booming business of selling chicken poop.  The Ca...

Episode 38 - Remembering 9/11, LA Health Official Admits to Opening Schools After Election, 10 Bills Newsom Should Veto 11.09.2020

On this somber day we look back on 9/11 and how far we've come from that feeling of national unity.  CAGOP delegates breaking ranks and supporting Joe Biden for President? Is it any wonder nothing ever gets done in this state? LA Public Health Official is caught saying that they will only begin to think about reopening schools until after the election. Why after the election when we already h...

Episode 37 - Blowout Heard Round the World, Update on SB 731, SB145 and the Hollywood Connection, CAGOP Drops the Ball on Recall 05.09.2020

Nancy Pelosi makes a huge political blunder and gives Republicans video proof of Democratic COVID lockdown hypocrisy.  SB 145, changing the rules for sex offenders engaging in relationships with minors, passes both chambers of California legislature. But why are Hollywood companies like Disney and Warner Bros donating to the bill's author? CAGOP had an incredible chance to go on the offense t...

Episode 36 - King Newsom Issues Color Coded Confusion on Reopening, DNC vs RNC, CA Wealth Tax = Death of California? 28.08.2020

King Newsom finally released guidelines on how businesses can reopen, but there's something curious about them. Instead of focusing on deaths and hospitalizations (which was the original reason for "flattening the curve") it now only focuses on positive cases. Positive cases don't mean anything. It's time for local officials to step up and protect their constituents.  There couldn't have been...

Episode 35 - Updates on Newsom Tax Avoidance, POTUS Going Dark, Prop 15 Will Be the Biggest Property Tax Hike in California History 07.08.2020

Update on Newsom and his tax scheme to avoid paying taxes on his "gifted" mansion. Is he signing Executive Orders so that he can avoid any penalties for being delinquent on his taxes? SCR 93 is DOA after California Democrats prevent it from even getting to the floor for a debate.  AG Beccera is up to his old tricks by trying to mislead the public with his well crafted propositions. This time...

Episode 34 - Don't Let Democrats Off the Hook for Lockdowns, End of State of Emergency, Newsom Violating Tax Law (and how you can help call him out) 31.07.2020

CAGOP have an enormous opportunity to gain some momentum and a foothold in the state of California. All they have to do is make sure they don't let Democrats off the hook for being the Party of Lockdowns. Governor Newsom is their leader they need to be connected to him as much as possible.  Is King Newsom's reign finally over? Senate Concurrent Resolution 93 looks to end the State of Emergenc...

Episode 33 - Republicans Need to Learn the Long Game, COVID Exposing the Rot of California Government 10.07.2020

While it may be tempting to launch an all out revolution in California to "turn it red" the truth is turning any state around is going to require a long game that the Republicans need to learn how to play. Change takes time, but COVID may be providing the best opportunity to do so. With people frustrated with draconian orders, and government ineptitude to be able to help its citizen, there is a gr...

Episode 32 - Second Wave of Protests (But Not BLM This Time), Explanation of Where Newsom Gets His Power, Recall Newsom 2020 02.07.2020

In this episode we discuss how the second wave of protests will not be from BLM, but instead Californians who are tired of this on/off, locked down/reopening, limbo we seem to be in. With most officials turning a blind eye to large protests yet punishing law abiding citizens with closures of their businesses, when will people say they have had enough? There's a lot of confusion about where Newsom...

Episode 31 - Who Made Health Officials King and Queen of California, CA Assembly Chips Away at Second Amendment, Newsom's Paper Tiger Mask Mandate 23.06.2020

It seems health officials across the state have given themselves the impression that they are now anointed complete rulers over our everyday lives and the Constitution no longer applies to them. Where are our elected leaders to rein them in? In the midst of a pandemic, California Assembly continues to chip away at Second Amendment rights in California.  Is Newsom's "order" as scary as people...

Episode 30 - Peak Hypocrisy Post COVID, Mask Lawsuit Update, Reparation Bill Passes in California 12.06.2020

Many people who have been watching the news are starting to see the absolute hypocrisy of the actions of our elected officials. Protests that were for reopening businesses were deemed selfish and dangerous, protests for George Floyd are righteous and altruistic. Most are getting fed up with it and are starting to see through it all.  Quick update on the mask lawsuit that was filed in federal...

Episode 29 - Interview Regarding Mask Lawsuit in San Diego 09.06.2020

My firm recently filed a federal lawsuit against the County of San Diego regarding the mandatory requirement of masks when in public. This episode is a audio copy of the interview done with Brittany from the Instagram handle rooted.wings, discussing out stance while taking questions from viewers. 

Episode 28 - The Executive Order on Social Media and What It Could Mean and Whether It Will Have Any Effect 30.05.2020

This show is all about the Executive Order regarding 230 protection for social media companies. We break it down and discuss what it was created for and why it's being brought into question now. Also whether or not it will end up working has yet to be seen. 

Episode 27 - Playtime Is Over, Alan Dershowitz Gets the Police Power All Wrong 23.05.2020

With more and more information coming out about the severity of this pandemic, people are starting to wake up to the reality of what is really going on, and they aren't happy. As we continue to see the sharp drop off from the doomsday predictions back in March, citizens are starting to ask why their governments aren't letting them out.  Alan Dershowitz, respected attorney and professor, gets...

Episode 26 - Mask Fear Result of Safe Space Culture, Garcia Win Sign of Things to Come?, Legal Arguments Against Lockdown 16.05.2020

When you realize the reason people are so obsessed with you wearing a mask is a direct result of the safe space culture it all starts to make sense. It's not about them being empathetic, it's about being selfish for their own safety over everything else.  Mike Garcia winning California 25th could be a sign of good things to come, but we have a long way to go to even begin turning the tide her...

Episode 25 - Why San Diego Order Is Unconstitutional, Gavin Pushing Auntie Pelosi's Mail In Voting, California Post Corona 11.05.2020

This past weekend we wrote a letter to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Health and Human Services detailing why their Order is not founded in science, data, real world facts, and violates both the US and California Constitution. You can read the entire letter by clicking this link .  Newsom is looking to enact his aunt's dream of mail in voting across the nation by starting i...

Episode 24 - 1984 in Our Country, Double Standards, OC Beach Closure, Gavin Refuses to Manage State Budget Conservatively 01.05.2020

As we head into week....6 of stay at home order? More people are beginning to wake up and feel they are being severely oppressed and robbed of their rights. Protests breaking out all over the state.  Gavin may have poked a hornets nest by singling out the OC and reawakening its strong Republican foothold.  In an interview with Seth Myers, Gavin talks about how our $24 billion surplus is...

Highlight from Episode 23 29.04.2020

How much life are we willing to sacrifice for every 1 coronavirus death?

Episode 23 - Stats Don't Lie (But People Do), Freedom 48 Hours in California, Election Integrity, Politics or Bankruptcy? 25.04.2020

Would you choose letting 3 people die to 1 coronavirus death? Most wouldn't. Stats are used to scare people into acting one way or another, but on closer look it's important to know what you are giving up to help one statistic at the cost of another. Proponents of the Second Amendment were excited for all of a couple days when Judge Benitez ordered an injunction stopping all background checks on a...

Highlight of Episode 22 21.04.2020

Discussion of natural rights under the Declaration.

Episode 22 - Inalienable Rights Being Trampled On, Reopening America (And California), California Withholding COVID Information? 18.04.2020

Governments have forgotten the inalienable rights that they were created to protect as they continue to impose draconian measures.  President Trump is ready to start reopening America, and California may not be far behind if they are to try and prevent economic and fiscal collapse.  Is California withholding essential information that the public should know of? Show Links Governor Newsom...

Episode 21 - The Constitution Is Dead, Left Using Corona To Push Progressive Agenda 11.04.2020

With every passing day, our Constitutional rights continue to whither away as we succumb to the rules and regulations being put into place by our governments.  Along with the continued assault on our rights, the Left has figured out this is the perfect opportunity to push their progressive agenda as far as possible; gun control, open borders, climate change, all of it is there.  Story Li...

Episode 20 - CA Scrapped Mobile Hospitals In 2011, Governor Newsom Sees Opportunity for Progressive Agenda, the CA Paradox with COVID-19 05.04.2020

While governors like Cuomo and Newsom are complaining that they don't have the necessary equipment to battle the coronavirus, California had mobile hospitals specifically created to meet the emergency needs of the state for this specific purpose but was scrapped because of "budget reasons" in 2011.  Newsom and Pelosi both see opportunity to push through a progressive agenda during this pandem...
