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 Estate.

Agitprop.  The act of agitating and then using media to spread propaganda.  Dictators and socialist regimes have used it for years to form public opinion and destroy resistance to their policies.  The Democrats are now experts at this. Artificially lowering interest rates on credit cards simply limits access to credit. Street journalist are preparing to descend on California to expose the massive fraud in our state.  Newsom told Walz to hold his beer.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

 Leftists claim that the shooting of unarmed Ashley Babbit as she climbed through a window at the Capitol is equivalent to the shooting of a protestor who is hitting an officer of the law with her SUV.  Will prohibiting corporations from buying homes reduce home prices? Will the purchase of $200 billion in mortgage backed securities reduce interest rates?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate. Listen to Real Talk every Saturday from noon until 1 on Power Talk 96.7 and 1400 AM

We are celebrating 2026, the 250th anniversary of the experiment called the United States of America.  Can we keep our freedom?   Will California move back towards the middle or is California a lost cause?  How will AI impact the next 5 years?  How is AI used in Real Estate.  How do you disclose an AI altered picture of your home for sale?  Is simply editing the picture a reason to disclose?  If you think fraud is bad in Minnesota, Newsom and California say hold my beer!  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

The year in reflection.  Will California get tired of bad governance?  Houses are not being rebuilt in LA.  Stricter building codes are being adopted despite promises to freeze the codes.  Gas prices could exceed $10 per gallon within 3 years with the closed refineries.  Electric prices will rise by more than 33% over the next 3 years.  These things are all caused by elected and unelected California policy makers.   We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

How would you describe a state that promotes the sexualization and mutilation of young children?  Is it evil?  Are the proponents of "gender affirming care" just well meaning but misguided?  In this week's podcast we discuss a young woman who was told at age 12 by a California school counselor that her anorexia and feelings of depression were caused by her being born in the wrong body.   Getting hormone blockers and taking testosterone would help her to cope with her "mental" issues.  At age 15 they cut off her breasts.  The doctors convinced the parents it was the only way to help her overcome her depression.  At age 22 she is now married and has a child.  She is scarred for life and has permanent medical issues. She just read an article in which the "Doctor" who preformed her surgery admits in a interview he was just "winging it".  All of this was condoned by the State of California.

After a 20 year study Berkeley scientists have determined that Native Americans were right.  Controlled burns create healthier forests and reduce air pollution.  Who would have guessed that?  In another 30 year study, the United Nations found that over the last 30 years sea level has only gone up 3 inches.  They then lied and said that is exactly what their models predicted.  (They have been predicting at least 1 foot of sea level rise every 10 years through 2050).  The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates and 30 year mortgage interest rates went slightly higher.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

In an imaginary California where there are no building codes, no permit fees and no inspections, would consumers buy a house built to 1992 building standards?  The cost of building the home would be approximately 50% of today's cost to build.  Did the seditious six Senators conspire with a Foreign Pysch Ops contractor to produce the videos encouraging our military to disobey orders from their commanding officers?  Who paid for the videos and the hundreds of billboards with a similar message placed around military bases throughout the US concurrently with the video?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

What are you thankful for?  The first Thanksgiving was to celebrate every gift God has given us.  The Pilgrims celebrated the right to worship freely.  William Bradford tried socialism the first year of their arrival in America and found that many chose to not work if they had to share their food and belongings equally.  It nearly destroyed the colony.  The result was the beginning of American capitalism.  Each pilgrim was no responsible to grow their own food and care for themselves.  The colony flourished.  Apparently our children are no longer taught this in school.  They are taught that socialism is the fairest form of government and that capitalism is evil.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate. 

If citizens are too busy to show up for public hearings and to give input about the growth and improvements in their neighborhoods the government will follow the paid activist who do show up.  Environmentalist are upset that Fresno and Clovis are planning on how to annex 9,000 acres allowing 45,000 more homes and businesses over the next 50 years.  At a 2% growth rate Fresno/Clovis (They are growing at 3%) will add over 600,000 new residents over the next 26 years.  Where do they expect them to live?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
