In this solo episode, I recount California's numerous public-safety and public-policy failures over the past few years: water mismanagement, increasing street crime, subsidies & support for drug abuse, Prop. 57, homelessness, etc. Gavin Newsom is now being forced to sound like a voice of reason (partly), because he is trying to finagle a run for the presidency. So that might mean that reparations will be a "no way" and critical water projects might actually get built (over the objections of the fanatical environmental zealots).

Also: What is going on with Senator Dianne Feinstein?

In Episode 45, my guest is Tyler Janke. Tyler is a family-law attorney in California, and he is the host of the Libertarian Podcast Review on YouTube. We had a great discussion on the finer points of liberty podcasting, how the Right has evolved on certain issues in the past few years, skepticism toward the medical establishment, and what to do about California's myriad problems. (Should California be split into at least two states, and how do we make that happen?)

In this episode, I started by sharing some thoughts I had regarding factions in political/religious movements -- and how the Sadducees & Pharisees might be analogous to factions in today's Republican Party. I went on to discuss the contentious concept of anarcho-tyranny, as well as California's bureaucratic water mismanagement, flooding in the Central Valley, Newsom's cringey meddling in other states' business (and his obvious upcoming presidential campaign), and the long-overdue defeat of *some* of the draconian mandates throughout California.

Don't miss this episode of the California Liberty Project! Our guest is Dr. Irene Mavrakakis, M.D., and we discussed the practice of medicine during a pandemic, the importance of informed consent, potential reasons for the proliferation of various food allergies in recent years, and effective vs ineffective medical treatments. We also talked about the hijacking of science by regime propagandists, "experts", and modern-day Lysenkoists.

Irene is active in the peace and Rage Against the War Machine movements, so we discussed new coalitions/collaborations on that front.

My guest this week is Siaka Massaquoi, who is a very busy man these days. In addition to being an actor and producer, Siaka is also active in politics. Last year, he ran for Assembly in a San Fernando Valley district; he is currently the Vice Chair of the L.A. Republican Party. Siaka is active with WhatTheFact.tv, Hollywood 4 Freedom, and the Babylon Bee.

We discussed the ups and downs of running for office, conservatism and localism, the importance of taking care of our own neighborhoods (instead of fixating on Washington, D.C.), the Great Reset vs the Great Awakening, the racial-division industry, and much more.

Will Trump be arrested on Tuesday? (Probably not.) Was this whole rumor just a grift/ruse to raise money and ensnare Desantis? (Maybe.) Should partisan district attorneys be arresting/imprisoning political foes from rival parties on trumped-up charges that are often misdemeanors? (I don't think it's a great idea.)

And in local California news: Is our drought finally over, as many parts of the state are recovering from widespread flooding (or digging out from several feet of snow)? How many more farcical articles will we see that admonish us to "remember that the drought restrictions can't be lifted yet"?

Some good news, and a definite bright spot: After three years of p@ndemic-related tyranny & coercion -- and unprecedented intrusions into our medical privacy and personal liberties -- more citizens here in California and around the country are waking up to the fact that we must stand together with our friends, neighbors, and allies to defend our basic freedoms. In California, tyrannical/garbage bills such as SB 866, SB 871, and now AB 659 have united the resistance; a whole new generation of liberty activists is being formed right now.

Michael Heise joins the California Liberty Project as our guest this week.  Michael is the founder and chair of the LP Mises Caucus, which is a caucus within the libertarian party that focuses on promoting free markets, Austrian economics, peace, non-intervention in military as well as many domestic issues, and radical political decentralization.  We discussed the legacy of great free-market thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, and others, as well as how the Mises Caucus is continuing the work of the Ron Paul Revolution.

Be sure to join the Mises Caucus at one of the stops on the national Take Human Action Tour this spring!  (And yes...they're coming to California!)

This is a fun episode, in which Blas Carrasco and I discuss how we can/should distinguish nutty conspiracy theories (that are not supported by evidence) from the provable/actual absurdities that define modern life (since 2020).  We cover a lot of diverse topics in this conversation, and Blas recounts a recent (humorous) experience he'd had with some friends in the liberty community.

There are so many topics here, we felt like we'd barely scratched the surface.  We'll follow on some of these topics in the future.
