California Underground: Your Sane Insight into California Politics

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 times and see if it makes sense to you. 

Chuck Devore (former California assemblyman) discusses his thoughts on why California turned blue and how to turn it back.

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 these groups together to elect a new Governor?

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 desperate to get traction and says I am trying to knock out the front runner Republican candidate. My thoughts. 

California government is so inept (how inept is it?) they sent $140 million to prisoners who were able to scam the system. Meanwhile out of work citizens still wait for any sort of support as King Newsom continues to toss counties in the purple tier.

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 another in private. 

In a move that I predicted coming, Kevin Faulconer appears to be the rising challenger to Newsom in 2022. In my opinion he would be the perfect moderate solution to Newsom and his brand of extreme left policies. Turning around California will be like turning around an aircraft carrier. It will take time, precision, and strategy, but I whole heartedly believe we can get there.

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 agree with him. 

Newsom fails to pay his property taxes...again. 

We hear too often "As California goes, so does the nation." Well in 2020 the nation took up California voting practices and now we see what a mess that led to. 

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 ballot results, is it true that Californians are actually more conservative than we think? Is the future of California libertarian? 

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 make everyone get along. 

CAGOP continues to crater and become irrelevant and if they have a poor showing in Orange County they will continue to become a meaningless political party in California. However, there is a grassroots movement of people fed up with California politics who show changing California is not impossible. 

Finish the show with a lightning round of Props and thoughts on each.

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 ripple effect of lost money to Southern California?

Based on a convo from the weekly "Coffee and California Politics" (every Wednesday at 9am on Instagram follow: californiaunderground) we dive deeper into Prop 25 and what it means and the pros and cons of it. 

Bonus Link: www.opensecrets.org to look into all non profits and organizations and who they are paying and what they support. 

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 making discrimination legal under the California Constitution.

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's another attempt to chip away at Prop 13 and property tax protections in California.
