Now Hear Me Out

In part 1 of this week's episode we are talking about the global pandemic that everybody seems to have forgotten about.People are going out without masks, not practicing social distancing, and pretty much living their lives normally again and it's terrifying!We get it, we've all been cooped up for months isolated in our homes, but the truth is numbers are rising again, especially in states where there has been loosened restrictions like Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and California.We need to be smart and look out for each other still, and in this week's episode we share about how to approach life now that restrictions are starting to lift while still being smart and protecting one another.It's important to remember that COVID-19 is still a very real thing and cases are continuing to rise because people are not practicing social distancing and thinking the rules no longer apply. Let's talk about it.Let us know what you think about this episode and if you feel like we are opening up too soon in the U.S.Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nowhearmeoutpodcast

This is a an emotionally charged episode for which we wanted to do our best to respect each other's stance and opinions on all that has been going on with the horrific murder of George Floyd, the non stop police brutality towards BIPOC and the subsequent peaceful protests and riots that have been taking place in cities all over the United States including our hometown of San Diego. In this episode we decided rather than argue with one another as we do have some differing opinions on all that is going on right now we would each present our beliefs and points of view one at a time and give the other a 30 second rebuttal so to speak as the to challenge one another on anything we have brought up. We dive into the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis, the public outcry for justice and how the oppression of BIPOC in this country led to a public uproar and call for action. Randy shares his beliefs and perspective as a lawyer as to the charges against the officers and the reasoning behind charging them with 3rd degree murder initially. He also shares his opinion as a Republican about how radical left wing groups like Antifa are making the riots worse, and how the police need to protect all Americans and how peace won't really exist until everybody views the police as an agency of peace rather than one of violence. Harriet shares her journey from being a largely uneducated Republican who knew very little about the oppression of BIPOC in America and the steps she took to educate herself. She also shares the resources and education tools that she has used to learn how to not only become not racist, but work to actively combat racism. Harriet also talk's about how it's not on BIPOC to educate white people anymore as to how they can be allies because they are exhausted and it's nobody's job but our own. We agree on some things but disagree on others, like so many families currently in the United States. We wanted to give a realistic portrayal of how people can feel about the issues taking place and that have been taking place in this country for so long. We hope you take something away from this episode and if you want to share your thoughts about anything we touched on reach ouch via our Instagram here =====> https://www.instagram.com/nowhearmeoutpodcast   

Through six plus months of podcasting, having the tough and emotionally charged conversations where we hold completely opposing political beliefs, we feel like we've finally cracked the code as to how to have respectful and productive conversations about politics. Now we want to show you how.In this episode you'll get a little sneak peak at the personal growth that we both have had since starting this podcast, and the way in which we listen to each other, challenge one another, and ultimately respect each other, even when we disagree. This is the type of conversation that is missing in this country. You can disagree with somebody politically without personally attacking them or name calling, and both sides can do better. We are so excited to show you how! We also get into whether or not you should shame somebody for not wearing a mask in public and we read your mean tweets! This might be our favorite episode yet, please take a listen and let us know what you think! Follow us on Instagram to stay up to date on what we are up to here =====> https://www.instagram.com/nowhearmeoutpodcast/?hl=en

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Newport Beach Mayor Will O'Neill who has been a very present figure in the media talking about the Beach Closures in California and why he believes that Governor Gavin Newsom is making politically motivated decisions not based on science. We discuss the importance of leading with logic and the sage wisdom that Will was given by his father and personal hero, that when in doubt it's better to be on the side of liberty rather than that of restriction. Will is so much more than just the favorite mayor of HGTV's Christina Anstead, he truly is as she described "a really great guy" who believes that being Mayor is about listening to your constituents regardless of their political affiliation. Will shares with us how being Mayor is a wonderful job he fulls so lucky to have and why it is a truly bipartisan effort. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

We had the privilege of speaking with County Supervisor Jim Desmond this week about his desire to help small businesses in San Diego get back to work. Last week he created a website SanDiegoBacktoWork.com where business owners were encouraged to reach out with ideas and their thoughts on how San Diego businesses can quickly recover from this shut down and get employees back to work.Restaurants, gyms, salons and other small businesses wrote in and today Jim is sharing what he believes is a solid plan to get San Diego to re open small businesses while still implementing social distancing protocols. May 1st was the date that he had hoped small businesses would re open again but now that day is here and the shutdown has been extended indefinitely for San Diego. It was great speaking with somebody who is so in the know and taking great strides to keep small businesses afloat during this time of economic uncertainty.If you live in San Diego and want some deeper insight into how government officials are voting and making decisions right now that will affect you, take a listen. Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nowhearmeoutpodcast 

This week we sat down (virtually) to chat with Greg Gandrud, the Treasurer of the California GOP who was elected along with my dad and co host Randy Berholtz in 2019. Back in July of 2016, Greg attended the Republican National Convention in Cleveland as an Alternate Delegate for Donald J. Trump representing the 24th Congressional District and also founded Gandrud Financial Services Corporation. Greg manages tax and business services, wealth management, trust administration, and real estate  investments for clients in fifteen states and five countries.In October of 2018, Greg formed a nonprofit called Fair Education Santa Barbara which has retained attorney Eric Early and has sued the Santa Barbara Unified School District and Just Communities Central Coast for spending dollars on what he calls "anti-American curriculum that is racist against white people and teaches students that white male Christian capitalists are oppressors".We dive into if he believes white privilege actually exists and also why he does not believe that police brutality against POC is a real thing and how it comes down to simply knowing how to interact with the police. Harriet shares a much different view and you'll see us talk about this and discuss our opposing beliefs in a real and respectful way.Greg is also an openly gay Republican Man who is a dues paying member of the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization that works within the Republican Party to advocate for equal rights for lesbian and gay Americans.We discuss how the GOP and self declared party of family values has accepted Greg while his Democratic gay friends have un invited him from parties and shunned him since "Trump Derangement Syndrome" took over after the election in 2016. Harriet talks about the many ways in which homophobia is still very present in the Republican party and Randy asks the question "is it harder to be a gay man or a Republican in America". While these topics were ones that as Democrat, Harriet vehemently disagreed with, it was a successful episode because all parties were able to have a really respectful conversation and hear each other out which is the whole point of this podcast.There was no name calling, no shutting each other down, and it was a really refreshing conversation. We hope you enjoy it and shoot us a message sharing your thoughts on this episode! Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/nowhearmeoutpodcast

We dive into President Trump and his ill informed briefing in which he suggested Americans should inject disinfectant to cure the Coronavirus and urge our listeners to only trust the experts here and refrain from drinking bleach. You can officially now listen to us now on the I Heart Radio app which is so exciting, more ways to listen!We also deep dive into the sexual misconduct allegations against Joe Biden and why if we are going to believe women, we need to believe all women regardless of our political beliefs. As a Democrat Harriet discusses her beliefs about why Fox News is giving unfair coverage to Joe Biden's accuser when they refused to cover any of the allegations against President Trump and Brett Kavanaugh, but are dragging Biden through the mud. We also talk about CNN and how they need to be giving just as much coverage to Biden's accuser as they did that of Trump and Kavanaugh's.If we are going to Believe Women don't we need to believe them regardless of our own political beliefs?We think so and can't wait for you to hear this episode and your thoughts!

He breaks down the ways in the which the virus in transmitted and how people can bolster their body's natural defenses to protect themselves from the virus. Han takes an integrative approach to medicine and believes we can't just treat the systems unless we treat the body as a whole.

In this episode we speak with a frustrated patient who is exhibiting all of the signs of the Coronavirus but can't get tested in San Bernardino County, California.

Our third Coronavirus coverage podcast is here and I think it's our most helpful one yet. In this episode you can hear both myself (a millenial) and my dad (a boomer) talk directly their generation about why it is so important to stay the F home right now and practice social distancing. You see people out there still living their lives like nothing is happening in the world and it's reckless, ignorant, and extremely selfish. Boomers are refusing to acknowledge that their advanced age puts them at greater risk and Millenials are saying "I'm young and healthy if I get it I'll be fine" without acknowledging that they are spreading it and killing those who are older or immunocompromised. We also touch on the Democratic debates, how President Trump is handling this pandemic and why are people having such a difficult time getting tests for COVID-19? When can we expect to have a sufficient number of tests and what is going to happen to the economy? Tune in and please share it with somebody you love, either a Boomer or a Millennial that isn't taking this pandemic seriously.Here is the video I mentioned in the podcast in which Italians made video messages for themselves from 10 days ago before they went on lockdown urging people to take this seriously before we become Italy and must choose who gets a vent based off of their likelihood to survive.We need to act now and flatten the curve to not overwhelm our healthcare system and lessen the numbers of cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMY0-4p9P-M

Day 2 of our self quarantine over here, and my dad and I are recording this remotely today, he's in his own home and I am in mine.There is a lot of fear and uncertainty going on right now and there are a lot of people who aren't taking this seriously. However as a family who has a sister/daughter who is severely immunocompromised we have to take this seriously and everybody else needs to be as well.In this episode we talk about why social distancing is the smartest thing you can do to help flatten the curve so as not overwhelm our healthcare system and leave us in the position that Italy is currently facing, deciding who gets a vent off of who is most likely to survive.It is a scary time right now in the world and we get that, so we are here to bring you as much current information as possible, some humor, and to encourage you to take this very seriously right now and do your part to help stop the spread so we can get back to our lives sooner rather than later.The article we reference in this podcast are https://www.ariadnelabs.org/resources/articles/news/social-distancing-this-is-not-a-snow-day/https://www.gq.com/story/american-individualism-in-the-age-of-coronavirushttps://coronavirus.jhu.edu/https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.htmlhttps://www.sandiegocounty.gov/coronavirus/Stay inside and stay safe. we are sending you all so much love and good vibes right now. We will get through but we need to be smart and self quarantine and practice social distancing.

This week it truly feels like the apocalypse.Days ago people were laughing at people like myself for 'overreacting" to the spreading virus and President Trump even went as far as to call it a "Democratic Hoax". His own son claimed this was another way for the left to try and get his father removed from office.My how the tune has changed in 48 hours. President Trump gave a speech on Wednesday night about the Coronavirus and the steps the government is taking to try to prevent the spread. He himself was exposed to the Coronavirus but is refusing testing. Tom Hanks and his wife have been diagnosed along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife, March Madness is cancelled along with Coachella and Stagecoach and people are hoarding food and toilet paper.How will we get through this as a nation?In this episode we dive intoHow President Trump's speech was received by both the Republicans and the Democrats.If it's racist to refer to this virus as the "Chinese Coronavirus". How to be a good human being and keep your shit together during this time of fear and uncertainty asa country.The reliable sources of information you should be using to get up to date info about quarantines and the spread of the virus. No cocaine won't cure Coronavirus stop doing that!Please take a listen if you want a mix of serious information mixed in with lighthearted humor and a plea to the American people to come together during this time rather than let this fear tear us apart. Check in on your elderly neighbors who can't make it to the store and ask them what they need. Have 100 rolls of toilet paper in your garage, go give some to the single mom next door. Did you stock up on hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes weeks ago and have a huge supply? Give some to your immunocompromised friends and neighbors who don't have any. We can get through this as a nation but we have to work together. For current and up to date Coronavirus information visit this website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html and https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus and   https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

We are so thrilled to share this episode with you all where we sit down and chat with Ruth Weiss, Vice President and Co-Founder of the Election Integrity Project California, Inc. (EIPCa).Coming off of Super Tuesday it seems like a better time than ever to talk about Voter Fraud and Maintaining Election Integrity in California. While some people don't really think Voter Fraud is that much of an issue in the US, Ruth disagrees. Ruth’s father was a U.S. History teacher, who taught using primary documents to instill a deep understanding of this country’s real roots and purpose. As a result, she grew up with a healthy respect for America and everything that has made her exceptional.After retiring from 34 years of teaching high school English and Spanish, Ruth began to search for a new way of contributing to society and her fellow citizens.The evidence that all is not well with California’s electoral process became clear to Ruth and many California citizens in the early years of the new century. She believes, as every American should, that voting in every election is the greatest privilege we have as American citizens, and the single most important act that we will ever do for ourselves and our posterity. But if our election process is subverted by error, apathy, carelessness and fraud, then we are robbed of the significance and purpose of the great privilege of voting, and that leads directly to the demise of our Republic.Ruth came to understand that being involved with the Election Integrity Project was her next calling, and she began working with them as San Diego County Coordinator in February of 2011, just two months after the company’s founding.In March of 2017, Ruth Weiss and Linda Paine began the effort to found a nonprofit organization to continue the work of the Election Integrity Project and on July 21, 2017, the Election Integrity Project California, Inc. (EIPCa) was officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) California public benefit nonprofit corporation.In this episode we chat all things voter and election integrity and why being able to vote is a great privilege that should always be held to the highest standard. If you're interested in learning more about the EIPC check out their website here https://www.eip-ca.com/ 

We are thrilled to introduce you today the incredible Roberta Winston who is also running for San Diego Superior Court Judge Seat 18 against CJ Mody whom we had on the podcast last week. It was a pleasure to chat with her and learn more about her campaign as she is an incredibly accomplished and fascinating person with wonderful experience that is highly applicable to the position for which she is running. In this episode we get into why Roberta was rated as being exceptionally qualified by the San Diego County Bar Association and why she has been training for this position since her freshman year at at Michigan State University when she was chosen to serve as a Justice on the “all university student judiciary”.While attending law school at the University of San Diego she was elected to serve as a Justice on the USD Honor Court. Both of these positions required Roberta to hear cases regarding students and their ethical violations. She was highly praised for her ability to be both fair and impartial in these rulings.She began her legal career in the chambers of State court district Court Judge in Las Vegas working as his judicial law clerk and assisting with both civil and criminal matters.This is the experience that really sparked her desire to one day become a judge.Since that position Roberta has been a practicing attorney in San Diego for 33 years. The first were spent working as a litigator in a variety or specialities including personal injury, products liability. Construction defect, insurance bad faith as well. She has also worked in other areas of the law including Healthcare and Bankruptcy.She has served as a guest lecturer at the University of Nevada Las Vegas speaking to blossoming minds about Advanced Business Law. In addition she has also provided extensive training on Effective Negotiation Skills, Unfair Claim Practices Act and Insurance Fraud Investigation Training.In this episode we dig deep into

This week we are thrilled to pull back the curtain on a political position that people don't know that much about......What exactly is the role of a Superior Court Judge and what makes somebody want to run for that office? We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with the incredible CJ Mody who is running for San Diego Superior Court Judge Office 18 and talk all about what led him to throw his hat in the ring. CJ Mody has been a deputy district attorney for 17 years and has spent the last 13 years with the Family Protection Division, prosecuting homicide, domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and child pornography cases. He has a history of being fair and even tempered making him a great attorney and judicial candidate. He and his family immigrated to the United States from India when he was 12 and he has been a resident of San Diego ever since. CJ and Harriet both attended the Bishop's School in La Jolla, CA for middle and high school and both went on to attend the University of San Diego for undergrad which they touch on in the podcast. CJ speaks about how Bishop's helped to shape him into the person he is today! In this episode we cover ⭐️ The pivotal moment that inspired him to make a career out of protecting and fighting for victims.⭐️How to keep implicit bias out of this non partisan position and treat everybody equally whether they are Republican, Democrat or somewhere in between.⭐️Having the courage to be disliked when making a ruling. ⭐️Why Courage and Morality are such huge parts of being a Superior Court Judge and how CJ exemplifies those traits in all aspects of his life.⭐️How to bridge the political divide between right and left and meet each other in the middle. ⭐️Why it's so important to be polite and cordial with your opponent.It's a great episode that we really enjoyed and CJ Mody would make a wonderful San Diego Superior Court Judge. You can learn more about him on his website https://www.cjmodyforjudge.com/meetcj/ and find him on Instagram and Facebook Stay tuned for Friday when we interview his opponent Roberta Winston!Follow Now Hear Me Out on Instagram and Facebook

We had the best time sitting down with the other candidate running against incumbent Mara Elliott for San Diego City Attorney. Cory Briggs, aka the Taxpayer’s Advocate has spent nearly two decades fighting special interests at City Hall.In this episode we talk about how Cory went from aspiring rockstar to attorney to ultimately launching his political campaign for San Diego City Attorney. With a background in accounting and philosophy and having the ultimate goal of pursuing a life of academia, Cory was actually encouraged by professors and mentors to pursue law and he has had quite the impressive career thus far. In 2002 he founded the Briggs Law Corporation and has a very successful track record in helping to advocate for the interests of the San Diego taxpayers. His ultimate reason for running for San Diego City Attorney is to move the city attorney’s office away from a culture of secrecy to a culture of transparency, effectively seeking to remove politics from government. We talk about Why the taxpayers in San Diego should have a voice and be able to vote on issues that concern them, like Qualcomm stadium.How the current city attorney’s office is pursuing an agenda contrary to the will of the voters.Short term vacation rentals like Air BnB and what Cory Briggs will do if elected.The issue of homelessness in San Diego and how we can work combat the different reasons for homelessness.How Briggs will work to protect children and the ways in which Mara Elliot has failed to do so. If you’re a San Diego voter you need to listen before sending off your ballot or going to the polls. You can contact Cory Briggs and learn more about his campaign on his website. https://corybriggs.com/ Yesterday we released our other interview with San Diego City Attorney candidate Pete Mesich which you can listen to here. https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-ywg9z-d42e3e

We are so excited to be bringing you real and unbiased information to help you get to know the candidates running for local San Diego political positions.

Fresh off her trip from Northern California Harriet and Randy break down the power outages with PG&E, the incompetence of Governor Gavin Newsom, and the thruple heard around the world that they right can’t seem to stop talking about! We cover it all in this weeks episode!

In reality this is actually our episode 3 because episode 2 was a bit of a bust. Somebody (my dad) got a little too heated about immigration and had to go cool down so we've decided that our podcast will cover not only politics but also pop culture, current events and deep dive discussions about raising children that actually want to hang out with you when they grow up. In this episode we cover the college admissions scandal, bring you another highly charge Hey Gavin rant, and talk about why we'd love to grab a beer with Bernie Sanders. It's a fun and more lighthearted approach because quite frankly politics isn't all that we talk about and we have a lot more knowledge to share with you all than just political views. Tune in, share with your friends and subscribe! We love you all! 

A father who is the Secretary of the California State Republican Party, and a daughter who broke who his heart when she came out as a Democrat after starting college. They've been having heated political conversations for years behind the scenes. There has been yelling, tears, fights, and angry phone calls, and that's just her father Randy! Somehow these two manage to remain as close as ever and show what it means to be a true American political family.
