Real Talk with Brad Maaske

Happy 250th Birthday America!  We must keep up the fight to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave.   

There is never enough money for California projects.  A Northern California town is "building" a 1/2 mile long walking trail with a pedestrian bridge over a creek along an existing flat railroad line.  The estimated cost is $21 million and it is expected to take 5 years to complete.  The LAX people mover to get traffic away from the airport is now 3 years past the scheduled completion date and has...

As the numbers come in for the LA Mayors race the statistical improbability that Ramen out performed Bass in the late ballot counts without some type of ballot harvesting becomes evident.  Are California home prices really still going up despite high interest rates?  Does home ownership still make sense?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Rea...

Here is the full live show from the Clovis Veterans Memorial District on June 13th.

As the vote counting continues it appears as if Los Angeles will continue to elect corrupt inept leadership in the November election.  We now have our first Trillionaire in the world.  Will Space X make money?  Is peace possible in the middle east?  Interest rates continue to hold back the Real Estate Market.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.

How far we have fallen.  Celebrating "Pride" as a nation.  One of the deadliest sins.  The voting continues in California with anomalies that can't be explained and probably won't be.  A Florida man found out that even getting a building permit before building isn't protection against a local council out of control.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right...

Property ownership is theft according Democrat Socialists who are intent on taking over every public office in America and fundamentally changing our culture.  Why do we elect them?  They promise everything for free.  Free rent.  Free school.  Free medical care.  This has never worked in any government on earth.  Despite the fact that not one of the climate crisis projected over the past twenty ye...

With a little over a week to the California Primary the question is will California conservatives vote or let the left continue to decide who leads our state.  San Francisco is about to require that all new water heaters be electric heat pump water heaters which cost between $8,000 and $35,000 to install.  What is the truth about the proposed 140 mph Cal Trans busses?  We discuss all of this and m...

Newsom claims he has magically balanced California's budget.  High Speed Rail wants your local tax dollars.   Ballots are out.  Will conservatives vote in the primary?  We discuss all of this on this week's Real Talk.

Ballots have arrived in the mail. The California primary is rapidly approaching.  How many California conservatives will actually vote?  Proposition 50 which eliminated 5 Republican districts statewide only passed because California Republicans did not vote.  In Northern California replacing a home water heater will cost between $8,000 and $35,000 beginning in 2027 with the new energy code adopted...

There are many meanings to the phrase May Day.  Our modern day leftist use it to support communism.  In war it was used to signify an emergency.  As California moves further left the emergency is real.  For every proposition on the ballot to protect proposition 13 the legislature creates propositions to defeat it.  A retired couple who bought their home in Montana in 2005 out the hard way what unl...

California is repeatedly suing the Trump administration for trying to increase gas supplies in California.  Several initiatives have qualified for the November ballot in California.  How will Bonta name them?  One requires voter id and proof of citizenship to vote.  It will probably be named The Voter Suppression Act by our Secretary of State.  The Jarvis initiative to protect Proposition 13 will...

The California Legislature is back in session.  We are all in trouble.  The most important items they are working on?  Protecting LGBT Rights and affirming children's rights to gender care.  Legislation has been introduced to allow minors up to 20 years to sue any therapist who did not affirm their transition.  Additional legislation has been introduced to make it illegal for hospitals to comply w...

Is AI evil?  The complexity of California's laws protecting tenants requires a spreadsheet to determine what an owner of a rental can or can't do.  Compare the actions of President Trump to save a downed pilot in Iran to Obama and Clinton in Benghazi where all were left to die.  Will California ever admit that the high speed rail from LA to San Francisco is just a money pit so the left can virtue...

As we celebrate this Easter weekend it seems that the world is in the final stages of the spiritual battle described in the Bible.  The left continues to protest any cause that Trump supports.  Often they don't even know why they are protesting.  State Legislatures continue to write additional laws limiting our constitutional rights.  The United States appears to have allied with the King of the N...

On the day before Palm Sunday the leftist celebrate with a "No Kings" protest.  If we think our children are uneducated what about these fools?  California blames Trump for our highest in the nation gas prices.  I guess rules, regulations and taxes have nothing to do with the cost of doing business in California.  Pacific Legal Foundation gets a win for Home Buyers against the financial reporting...

Cougars and Butterflies are getting a $120 million bridge in Southern California and Newsom says he is proud of it and wants more.  Is the California Legislature considering a 5% tax on the sale of all homes and property in California?  When is an increase in spending considered a cut in spending?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estat...

The longer the straight of Hormuz is closed the more people in third world countries will starve.  It is not just the oil.  It is the fertilizer.  Government does not solve problems.  Solving a problem means there is no need for the bureaucracy that was tasked with solving it.  That is why government continues to create regulation that only they can interpret.  The current uncertainty in the Middl...

Newsom introduces his new water plan for California in which they promise to study how to deliver more water to the state.  How can we trust our government or so called experts?  Government survives by not solving problems, only studying them.  Solving a problem would take away their jobs.  If you move to another state do you have to pay California income tax on your California rental income?  We...

Despite doubling the spending on Public Transportation over the past 5 years in California fewer people than ever are using the busses and the trains.  Taxes and fees which are supposed to maintain roads, build new roads and maintain bridges and infrastructure are being used for rider less mass transportation.  The average expenditure per rider per year is nearly $25,000.  We discuss all of this a...

California Democrat Congress members are visiting their districts claiming that the high cost of housing, gas and electricity in California are all caused by Trump and Republicans.  Meanwhile the California legislature is trying to devise ways and reasons to break Proposition 13.  In Nashville Tennessee where there are no protections for property owners one owner made the news because his property...

The Trump administration is removing carbon dioxide from the list of pollutants as designated by the Obama EPA.  CO2 is the gas of life.  We exhale it and plants need it to grow.  The leftists are screaming that Trump is a science denier.  California is threatening to sue and to write their own laws making CO2 poison again in California.  Newsom says that California will start laying tracks this y...

For the past 20 years the left has controlled California.  For the last 16 years the Democrats have had a veto proof majority.  During that time their policies have destroyed the once great state.  Farmers are forced to idle their crops.  California has the highest energy prices in the country.  The least affordable housing.  The highest taxes.  Our schools and roads are near the bottom of every m...

California water policy is forcing Westlands Water District to idle 136,000 acres of farmland and plant 100,000 solar panels.  This will be the largest solar farm in the US.  Can Trump take over Los Angeles building permits through his executive order?  What is a Trump Child Savings account?  Can it be used to buy a house?  Can $1,000 turn into $350,000 over 25 years?  We discuss all of this and m...

Newsom arrived at Davos with his sugar daddy Alex Soros and brought knee pads.  I wonder if he used them?  Red states are cooperating with ICE and there is no chaos.  Following the law apparently works.  Interest rates stay steady.  Vampire mortgages are coming back from the dead.  Do you have one?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Esta...
