Nancy Pelosi makes a huge political blunder and gives Republicans video proof of Democratic COVID lockdown hypocrisy.  SB 145, changing the rules for sex offenders engaging in relationships with minors, passes both chambers of California legislature. But why are Hollywood companies like Disney and Warner Bros donating to the bill's author? CAGOP had an incredible chance to go on the offense this year with Newsom's awful management of COVID and they again drop the ball and show why they are the Party of losers here in California.  Show Links Newsom Takes Trump’s Advice and Agrees to $1 Billion Forest Management to Prevent Wildfires https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/31/newsom-takes-trumps-advice-agrees-to-1-billion-forest-management-plan-to-prevent-wildfires/ How Flatten the Curve Turned Into Shutdown Forever Here In California https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/how-flatten-the-curve-turned-into-shut-down-forever-here-in-california/ Recall

King Newsom finally released guidelines on how businesses can reopen, but there's something curious about them. Instead of focusing on deaths and hospitalizations (which was the original reason for "flattening the curve") it now only focuses on positive cases. Positive cases don't mean anything. It's time for local officials to step up and protect their constituents.  There couldn't have been a bigger difference between the RNC and DNC. The main one being the DNC portrayed an America where we continue to hide in our houses with our faces covered in fear of a virus with a 99% survival rate, and the RNC which portrayed a triumphant America where we get past this and back to normal.  California's proposed wealth tax is only on the super rich (for now), are we entering the end days of California?

Update on Newsom and his tax scheme to avoid paying taxes on his "gifted" mansion. Is he signing Executive Orders so that he can avoid any penalties for being delinquent on his taxes? SCR 93 is DOA after California Democrats prevent it from even getting to the floor for a debate.  AG Beccera is up to his old tricks by trying to mislead the public with his well crafted propositions. This time he is trying to fool the California public into voting for the biggest property tax hike in California history by claiming they will be creating new revenue sources to help fund education. When in reality it's a massive tax hike only millions of Californians that would negatively affect you in one way or another.  Show Links Update on Gavin Newsom Avoiding Taxes https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/gov-newsoms-chronically-delinquent-property-taxes-and-unreported-income-must-be-investigated/ Attorney General Beccera Can’t Be Trusted to Name Propositions https://californiagl

CAGOP have an enormous opportunity to gain some momentum and a foothold in the state of California. All they have to do is make sure they don't let Democrats off the hook for being the Party of Lockdowns. Governor Newsom is their leader they need to be connected to him as much as possible.  Is King Newsom's reign finally over? Senate Concurrent Resolution 93 looks to end the State of Emergency and return power to the legislature.  Newsom may be in some legal hot water for tax avoidance by using his LLC "PlumpJack" illegally to funnel a $3.7 million mansion to him tax free.

While it may be tempting to launch an all out revolution in California to "turn it red" the truth is turning any state around is going to require a long game that the Republicans need to learn how to play. Change takes time, but COVID may be providing the best opportunity to do so. With people frustrated with draconian orders, and government ineptitude to be able to help its citizen, there is a great opportunity to present a better vision for California.  Show Links Governor Newsom Now Owns the COVID 19 Pandemic http://www.capoliticalreview.com/top-stories/newsom-now-owns-the-covid-19-pandemic/ Too San Francisco for Its Own Good https://www.city-journal.org/san-francisco-progressive-leaders-ignore-everyday-citizens

In this episode we discuss how the second wave of protests will not be from BLM, but instead Californians who are tired of this on/off, locked down/reopening, limbo we seem to be in. With most officials turning a blind eye to large protests yet punishing law abiding citizens with closures of their businesses, when will people say they have had enough? There's a lot of confusion about where Newsom is getting this what seems to be unlimited amount of power. We dive into the statutes of the State of Emergency and see where we go from here.  An official recall petition is circulating the state to recall Newsom...does it have a chance to pass?

It seems health officials across the state have given themselves the impression that they are now anointed complete rulers over our everyday lives and the Constitution no longer applies to them. Where are our elected leaders to rein them in? In the midst of a pandemic, California Assembly continues to chip away at Second Amendment rights in California.  Is Newsom's "order" as scary as people are making it out to be? Or is it all bluster?

Many people who have been watching the news are starting to see the absolute hypocrisy of the actions of our elected officials. Protests that were for reopening businesses were deemed selfish and dangerous, protests for George Floyd are righteous and altruistic. Most are getting fed up with it and are starting to see through it all.  Quick update on the mask lawsuit that was filed in federal court in San Diego.  A bill passes the California Assembly to create a task force to look into reparations for slavery.

With more and more information coming out about the severity of this pandemic, people are starting to wake up to the reality of what is really going on, and they aren't happy. As we continue to see the sharp drop off from the doomsday predictions back in March, citizens are starting to ask why their governments aren't letting them out.  Alan Dershowitz, respected attorney and professor, gets it completely wrong on the notion that the Constitution does not grant you the right to not have the state "plunge a needle into your arm." We discuss the police power and how far government can go, and it's much less than Dershowitz says.  Show Notes Alan Dershowitz States Government Absolutely Has the Power to Plunge Needle In Your Arm https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/05/19/watch-alan-dershowitz-makes-the-case-for-government-mandated-coronavirus-vaccine-n2569134  Text from California Supreme Court Case Miller v.

When you realize the reason people are so obsessed with you wearing a mask is a direct result of the safe space culture it all starts to make sense. It's not about them being empathetic, it's about being selfish for their own safety over everything else.  Mike Garcia winning California 25th could be a sign of good things to come, but we have a long way to go to even begin turning the tide here in California.  Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down stay at home order.

As we head into week....6 of stay at home order? More people are beginning to wake up and feel they are being severely oppressed and robbed of their rights. Protests breaking out all over the state.  Gavin may have poked a hornets nest by singling out the OC and reawakening its strong Republican foothold.  In an interview with Seth Myers, Gavin talks about how our $24 billion surplus is gone and the federal government needs to bail him out so he can get all his progressive policies on his wish list.  Show Links/Suggested Articles California Doctors Say Sick and Elderly Should Be Quarantined, Businesses Open https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/must-see-video-california-doctors-immunology-say-sick-elderly-quarantined-businesses-open-state-pressuring-drs-add-covid-19-numbers/ Newsom Announces 4 Phases to Reopening the State https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/gov-newsom-announces-california-lockdown-could-last-until-june-as-re-open-phases-are-met/

How much life are we willing to sacrifice for every 1 coronavirus death?

Would you choose letting 3 people die to 1 coronavirus death? Most wouldn't. Stats are used to scare people into acting one way or another, but on closer look it's important to know what you are giving up to help one statistic at the cost of another. Proponents of the Second Amendment were excited for all of a couple days when Judge Benitez ordered an injunction stopping all background checks on ammo purchases in California. But thanks to President Trump and his federal appointments, the stay issued by the Ninth Circuit may not be around forever.  Ballot harvesting...mail in ballot...what does it all mean for the integrity of elections? Governor Newsom has a tough choice to make regarding whether he will choose politics or a bankrupt state, because he can't have both.  Show Links Protests All Over the State A new site www.wehaverights.com set up for protest organizing.

Governments have forgotten the inalienable rights that they were created to protect as they continue to impose draconian measures.  President Trump is ready to start reopening America, and California may not be far behind if they are to try and prevent economic and fiscal collapse.  Is California withholding essential information that the public should know of?

With every passing day, our Constitutional rights continue to whither away as we succumb to the rules and regulations being put into place by our governments.  Along with the continued assault on our rights, the Left has figured out this is the perfect opportunity to push their progressive agenda as far as possible; gun control, open borders, climate change, all of it is there.  Story Links Newsom Thinking About Giving Cash Payments to Illegal Immigrants in California https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/08/ca-gov-newsom-stimulus-checks-to-illegals-being-considered/ Second Amendment Activists Suffer Setback https://freebeacon.com/courts/second-amendment-activists-suffer-setback-in-california-as-federal-judge-greenlights-gun-store-closures/

While governors like Cuomo and Newsom are complaining that they don't have the necessary equipment to battle the coronavirus, California had mobile hospitals specifically created to meet the emergency needs of the state for this specific purpose but was scrapped because of "budget reasons" in 2011.  Newsom and Pelosi both see opportunity to push through a progressive agenda during this pandemic. Search "Cloward-Piven Strategy" and see how politicians are seeing this as an opportunity to change our political and societal landscape going forward.   How is California faring so well when a state like New York is quickly becoming a mess? Is it only because of social distancing or are there other factors at play?
