  • Regrettably Listened to Episode

    I was looking for a podcast talking about the executive order against homeless people and stumbled across this one. Unfortunately, this show is just not very good. I was not expecting a disgusting amount of hateful language and misinformation. I was really looking for something unbiased, and that fully explains the executive order, but this show does not do that. If you’re looking for shows well research and have read the actual thing they’re talking about, this is not it. If you’re looking for ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LA Times Goes After Spencer Pratt (04/07)
Q: What did you find out about Pratt's domicile and eligibility to run for mayor?
Guss explains Pratt remained domiciled in the district and that temporary displacement from wildfires does not automatically affect eligibility, a conclusion supported by the county registrar's guidance; the reporting is portrayed as incomplete or biased by omission of key rules.
"Inside Safe" Has Been A Failure (04/06)
Q: Tell me how the military and the CIA, how did they pull this off?
The guest explains a deception campaign by the CIA to misdirect Iranian forces about the airman's status, followed by Joint Special Operations Command deploying helicopters, planes, and drones to reach and extract him with no loss of life, supported by extensive intelligence and coordination.
CA Fraud In The Elderly Care Space | "Savings Tax" Proposal?! (04/08)
Q: What did your colleagues in the assembly do when ACA 14 was brought up to ban a savings tax on the middle class?
The Democrats killed the bill, voting against the constitutional amendment, leaving the middle class exposed to potential future taxation as the push for a savings tax continues.
CA Fraud In The Elderly Care Space | "Savings Tax" Proposal?! (04/08)
Q: Let's talk about how the savings tax would actually work and who it would primarily affect.
The proposal would tax wealth assets like bank accounts, 401(k)s, stock portfolios, and home equity annually, starting with the wealthy and then expanding to other income brackets, effectively a wealth tax.
Bill To Raise CA's Elderly Parole Age Advances (04/09)
Q: The old retirement age was 50 if you served how many years in prison? 20. So now it's going to be 65 and is it still 20 years?
It's 25, but it's a very narrow group of folks. The original bill excluded life-sentenced offenders, but the latest version guts that scope, allowing people like Funston to still be eligible for elderly parole.
