No wonder the American people don't trust their DEI filled government.  The FBI agent who came upon the shooter attempting to kill Trump at his golf course shot at him 6 times from 5 feet away and missed every shot.  The defense department says all the drone sightings in the east are planes or helicopters.  Nothing to see here.  There are so many stories of incompetence that one has to laugh when the left says that Trump cabinet appointees are not fit to head departments.  How much worse could they be?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

Pardon me?  Pardon everyone!  Who else will get a preemptive pardon.  Less than 6% of federal government employees work 40 hours per week in the office.  SSA employees just signed a contract allowing them to work at home for 5 more years.  The Doggy (DOGE) team is going to have to fight to take the bone away from our federal government!  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate

NAR settlement is approved by the courts and the DOJ says "not so fast".  "We don't like the agreement and even if Realtors follow it we may prosecute you for price fixing".  Trump refuses to allow FBI access to his incoming staff and cabinet picks.  I wonder why?  Newsom promises tax credits for buying electric vehicles, unless you buy a Tesla.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

17 days after the election and California is still counting votes.  Why would that lead anybody to distrust our election integrity.  California passed 30 billion in new borrowing/bonds on a state wide level, not counting all of the local bond measures.  We still have the worst roads and schools in the nation.  It is not about money.  Interest rates remain in mid 6% level and housing sales continue to limp along.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

After 3 tries is this the last time California will try to institute more statewide rent control?  Newsom vows to not work with the Trump administration and to deny ICE the right to deport criminal aliens.  CARB says gas prices can go up to save the world.  Social Justice demands it.  In other CARB decisions new RV sales in California may be banned beginning in 2025.  Interest rates stay high and home sales continue to decline.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

Trump wins!  Newsom calls for emergency legislative session to approve $100 million for new lawsuits against the Trump Administration next year.  Russia is already talking about ending the war in Ukraine.  Hamas says they are open to peace talks.  The illegal caravans going through Mexico are breaking up and turning back.  Liberals are crying because we are going to make America Great Again!  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

Newsom announced a new legislative investigative committee this week to determine why California has the 2nd highest electricity prices in the nation.  Hint, it might have something to do with the actual cost of the "clean"  green solar and wind power added to the grid.   This is after his victory dance a week ago for enacting a law that will force the remaining gas refineries in California to go out of business over the next decade.  I said it before and I will say it again.  If we want to end gender mutilating surgeries and chemical treatment of minors in California and the nation all we need is for Trump to propose more men in women's locker rooms and sports and to support the sex change surgeries for children paid for by the government.  The left will immediately be against it.  Need proof?  Look at their position on "War Hawks" like Liz Cheney.  The left suddenly supports the rich sending our children to endless wars.

If a political party has a platform that supports the mutilation of children, biological men playing in women's sports, the killing of unborn children and taking children away from parents who don't support the "rights" of their child who is gender confused shouldn't we recognize that political party as evil?  Satan inspired?  Not every member of the Democrat party fits this description however it is the adopted party platform.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.  

This is my take on the 10 California Propositions.  Several people have asked me how I am voting.  This short podcast explains why I am voting no on all Propositions except Proposition 34 and 36.  I also threw in a short message from Governor Newsom that everyone needs to hear.    

King Newsom signed legislation last week controlling how the remaining refineries in California operate.  Phillips 66 immediately announced the closing of their Southern California refinery in 2025 which produces 8% of our dwindling supply of gasoline.  Newsom said it is time to stop Big Oil from "screwing" the public.  I will be doing a special podcast on the Propositions on the November ballot this week.  It is time to stop feeding the pig.  We are taxed enough already.  Stop approving new Bonds.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
