Podcasts about Bonta

In hour 4, Spadoni and Shasky talk with Bonta about the Warriors draft prospects and what the Giants should do with their star players.

Kerry Lutz sits down with Dr. Steve Bonta to discuss the growing intersection of geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and economic change. They examine rising tensions with Iran, potential disruptions to global energy markets, and instability in Venezuela and Cuba. The conversation then shifts to AI's rapid evolution, comparing today's technology boom to the early days of the internet. Bonta explains how AI is already transforming industries ranging from law and government to medicine and scientific research, while also creating new challenges involving fraud, surveillance, and regulation. They also explore the infrastructure demands of AI, including the growing need for energy, water, and advanced computing power. While both see enormous potential for innovation and productivity, they caution that the technology's long-term impact will depend on how society manages its risks and opportunities.

Katz: Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Patrick Yeatts Reaffirms Injunction Blocking Virginia HB 1525 Universal Background Checks A Lynchburg judge rejected Virginia's attempt to revive universal background checks on private firearm sales, keeping the injunction against State Police enforcement in place. On June 3, 2026, Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Patrick Yeatts denied the Virginia State Police and Attorney General's motion to dissolve his October 2025 permanent injunction. The injunction struck down Virginia's universal background check requirement for private firearm sales (originally enacted in 2020 and codified at Va. Code § 18.2-308.2:5) after finding it unconstitutional under Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, particularly as applied to those under 21, and non-severable. The ruling came after the legislature passed and Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed HB 1525 in April 2026 with an emergency clause directing VSP to resume checks; plaintiffs including Gun Owners of America, Virginia Citizens Defense League, and individuals filed to enforce the existing injunction. YouTube DOES RAREBREED HAVE A GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED MONOPOLY?(Savage) Rare Breed Triggers v. DOJ Settlement and ATF Director Robert Cekada Congressional Testimony on Forced Reset Triggers YouTubeVideo | Does RareBreed Have a Government Sanctioned Monopoly? Today we are going to be discussing the most recent development in the RareBreed Triggers situation. Since the settlement with the Department of Justice there have been many lawsuits filed and a major discussion about the legality of other devices that are similar to the FRT-15. Recently the new director of the ATF, Robert Cekada, testified in front of congress and had some interesting things to say about Forced Reset Triggers. ALL LINKS, Join the Email List, and get discounts from the affiliates page: https://linktr.ee/vso_gun_channel #vsogunchannel #rarebreeds #atf #gunlaw #MONOPOLY The VSO Gun Channel video in the Going Ballistic series examines the DOJ settlement with Rare Breed Triggers allowing continued FRT-15 sales contingent on patent enforcement, alongside recent congressional testimony by the new ATF director (referred to as Robert Cekada or Sacuta in sources) clarifying the settlement's narrow scope to Rare Breed's specific forced reset trigger design rather than all similar devices. The discussion covers legal distinctions between rate of fire, trigger function, drop-in auto sears, and potential implications for competing forced reset trigger products. AMMOLAND SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS(Savage) United States v. DeBorba (9th Cir. 2026): Suppressors Not Protected as 'Arms' Under Second Amendment The Ninth Circuit ruled suppressors are not Second Amendment arms in United States v. DeBorba, a bad-facts illegal alien gun case that may hurt future suppressor challenges. The Ninth Circuit affirmed João Ricardo DeBorba's convictions for unlawful possession of firearms, ammunition, and an unregistered silencer under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The court held that silencers/suppressors are optional accessories or ‘accoutrements' rather than ‘arms' covered by the plain text of the Second Amendment, citing prior precedent such as Duncan v. Bonta. It further ruled the NFA's shall-issue registration and taxation regime is constitutional as DeBorba failed to show abusive enforcement. NRA BLOWS WHISTLE ON NRA FOUNDATION, FILES LAWSUIT IN COURT(Savage) National Rifle Association of America v. NRA Foundation (1:26-cv-00015, D.D.C.) The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation, asserting ownership of intellectual property and alleging the foundation's leadership is operating in bad faith and withholding funds. NRA CEO Doug Hamlin stated the foundation has declined to approve 2026 grant funding, jeopardizing programs like the NRA National Firearms Museum and Eddie Eagle GunSafe program. On January 5, 2026, the National Rifle Association filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against its affiliated charitable arm, the NRA Foundation. The complaint asserts NRA ownership of trademarks and intellectual property used by the Foundation, alleges the Foundation's leadership (described as a disgruntled faction of former NRA directors) is operating in bad faith, misleading donors, withholding or misappropriating funds intended for NRA charitable programs, and attempting to break away. The suit seeks to prevent trademark infringement, unfair competition, and separation from the NRA. REVIEWS by Listener What's frustrating you most in gun culture right now?

Put it on a known functioning lower with their supplied modified buffer because the proprietary BCG is slightly longer. Slam fired half a magazine. Looked it over, tried a different lower with their other buffer they supplied. Slam fired 3 rounds, had an out of battery, sheared the bolt off. Sent it back. They sent me a whole new upper right around the same time I listened to the last episode you had Foxtrot Mike on. They were talking about slam firing 9mm and buffer weights. I immediately picked up a couple recoil mitigation buffers for PCCs. When the new 410 upper showed up I weighed the supplied buffers to

Dr. Mark Bonta reads the obituary section every weekend. Not morbidly. But because when he cares for patients in the hospital, he sees them in a blue gown having their worst day. He never knows their life, their legacy, or how they wanted to be remembered. The obituary fills in the gaps.Katie Engelhart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine, does something similar. She finds the stories medicine doesn't tell. The ethical dilemmas playing out in ICUs and hospital rooms that the public never hears about. Medical aid in dying for eating disorders. Covert consciousness in patients diagnosed as vegetative. Dementia patients timing their own deaths before losing capacity to consent.Her work challenges the way medicine operates. Not the science. But the values, the judgments, the institutional culture that shapes standards of care without public input. She spends months, sometimes years, with patients and families navigating impossible decisions. And she lets the stories stay messy because real life doesn't fit tidy narratives.Mark and Katie talk about how she finds the people whose stories need to be told, how she earns trust over months of conversations, and why she has respect for doctors and medical science but not deference to the way things are in medicine.If you've ever wondered how medical journalism actually works, why certain stories get told and others don't, or what happens when families navigate end-of-life decisions without the ethical support they need, this conversation will give you a behind-the-scenes look at one of the best medical writers working today.Katie Engelhart:  https://www.katieengelhart.com/Episode Takeaways1. Standards of medical care are shaped by value judgments, ethics, institutional culture, and history — not just science and mathematics. The public is often unaware of why policies exist or how they came to be.2. Katie's reporting process involves months (sometimes years) of conversations, thousands of pages of medical records, and cross-referencing with family members and experts to verify every detail.3. Covert consciousness research shows that about 25 percent of patients presumed to be in vegetative states are actually aware and can perform tasks like imagining playing tennis, but families making decisions rarely have access to these tests.4. What "better" or "recovery" means to an ICU physician is often very different from what it means to a family member — even medical terms are shaped by values, not just facts.5. Katie finds people to profile by spending months building trust with providers, writing letters they can share with patients, and navigating institutional barriers that either support or block her work.6. The healthcare system lacks ethical support for patients making major moral decisions, leaving millions of people to face these choices alone even though their neighbors are going through the same thing.7. Patients will do their own research, and clinicians need to accept that and expand conversations to include it rather than dismissing skepticism as uninformed or pseudoscience.8. Choices that seem unfathomable from the outside become completely understandable when you spend time with the people making them and walk through their reasoning step by step.Episode Timestamps04:48 – Why Katie Is Drawn to Medical Writing08:24 – Telling Robert Munch's Dementia Story Without Making It About Dementia15:22 – Covert Consciousness: A Quarter of Vegetative Patients Are Actually Aware19:32 – The Ego and Humility Problem in Medicine22:56 – What "Better" Means to Doctors vs. Families28:17 – Finding the People Whose Stories Need to Be Told32:05 – How Katie Vets Sources and Verifies Information37:38 – The Existential Crisis of Our Own MortalityDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Association for Accessible Medicines v. Bonta

Is America on the brink of collapse as we know it? SIMON talks to DR. STEVE BONTA, publisher of "The New American', about the path we are on, how history is a reflection of our future and what to expect depending on how the scales of our civilization tip.

State attorneys general have been playing an increasingly important role in American law and politics in recent years, as I discussed in my recent podcast interview of former New Jersey attorney general Matthew Platkin. Continuing the conversation on this interesting evolution, last week I interviewed Rob Bonta, the 34th attorney general of our nation's largest state, California.We began by discussing Rob's early life, including how he immigrated to California with his family as an infant, and his legal career, including his service in the San Francisco City Attorney's Office and the California State Assembly. We then turned to current events, including the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais; the 67 lawsuits his office has filed against the Trump administration since January 2025, including election-related cases; and Rob's own future plans, including whether he might run someday for the U.S. Senate or governor of California.I've known Rob for decades, ever since we were members of an informal (and very small) group of Filipino-American students at Yale Law School. Rob is now the first person of Filipino descent to serve as California's AG—making him an especially fitting guest for May, which is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.Thanks to Rob for reconnecting with me and for sharing his thoughts on a wide range of timely topics.Show Notes:* Rob Bonta bio, Office of the Attorney General of the State of California* Rob Bonta bio, WikipediaSponsored by:NexFirm helps Biglaw attorneys become founding partners.

We're going to cure cancer in our lifetime." It's a rallying cry at every charity event, every fundraiser, every race. But what does that actually mean?Dr. Sonal Gandhi, a medical oncologist, joins Ditch the Labcoat to break down what most people don't understand: we already cure cancer. All the time. Early stage cancers like breast, colon, and skin cancer caught in time have cure rates approaching 90 to 100 percent.The challenge is stage four cancer. Metastatic disease. Cancer that has spread to other organs. And even there, the conversation is shifting. Cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic illness. People are living longer with it, sometimes dying with it rather than from it, just like they do with heart disease or diabetes.Dr. Gandhi walks through what "curing cancer" really means, how treatment has evolved beyond chemotherapy into targeted therapies and immunotherapy, and why prevention matters. Up to 40 percent of cancers are related to modifiable lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, obesity, lack of exercise. But even doing everything right doesn't guarantee you won't get cancer. Age is the number one risk factor, and we can't modify that.She also challenges the guilt people carry when they're diagnosed and reframes the fear around the "C word." Maybe it's time to pull cancer back into the middle with the menu of other chronic illnesses we manage, not cure.If you've ever wondered what "curing cancer" actually means, why some cancers are more treatable than others, or what you can do to reduce your risk, this episode will reframe how you think about one of medicine's most feared diagnoses.If you've ever wondered why so many people have unexplained symptoms, why standard treatments fail them, or what actually works when medicine runs out of answers, this episode will reframe how you see chronic illness.Dr. Sonal Gandhi's LinkedinEpisode Takeaways1. We already cure cancer. Early stage cancers (stage 1 or 2) caught in time have cure rates approaching 90 to 100 percent, depending on the type.2. Cancer is not one disease. It's dozens of diseases with different stages, treatments, and outcomes. We're better at treating some than others.3. Stage four (metastatic) cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic illness. Treatments help people live longer with cancer, sometimes dying with it rather than from it.4. Up to 40 percent of cancers are related to modifiable lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, obesity, and lack of exercise. Being a healthy weight matters for cancer prevention.5. Age is the number one risk factor for cancer. Every decade you get older, cells get worse at repairing mistakes. We can't modify aging.6. Only 10 to 20 percent of cancers are due to inherited genes. Most cancers happen because of the complicated interplay between lifestyle, environment, and cellular aging.7. Immunotherapy works by preventing cancer cells from turning off the immune system, but it can cause severe autoimmune side effects that need rapid treatment.8. Whole body scans and experimental blood tests sound appealing, but they often create more harm than good. Screening needs to be done in context with clear downstream action plans.Episode Timestamps03:51 – What Does "Curing Cancer" Actually Mean?08:15 – Early Stage vs. Late Stage Cancer: The Critical Difference12:42 – How Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy, and Immunotherapy Work18:35 – Prevention: Lifestyle Factors That Reduce Cancer Risk21:50 – Why Immunotherapy Can Cause Severe Side Effects30:48 – Cancer as a Chronic Illness, Not a Death Sentence38:22 – Environmental and Occupational Cancer Risks45:51 – Why Whole Body Scans Aren't the AnswerDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Right now, the state of California has a very litigious relationship with the federal government. Currently our state is actively working on 67 separate lawsuits against Trump's administration. The legal disputes range from tariffs, public housing funding, sanctuary city policies, ICE agents wearing masks and even birth right citizenship.And, something notable is that almost a quarter of all the lawsuits are related to protecting our environment. Staying on top of all the litigation is the job of our state's Attorney General Rob Bonta. A few weeks ago he visited our live event space in downtown San Francisco to talk with Ethan Elkind, the host of KALW's show Climate Break.Bonta spoke about one of the most crucial climate lawsuits that is in the court system right now, the fight for our state's Clean Air Act. Nearly half of our carbon emissions come from transportation, but last year the US Senate voted to block California's mandate to phase out gas-powered cars by 2035.  In this excerpt, Bonta gives an update on how the lawsuit to protect the Clean Air Act is progressing…

Dr. Dave Clarke returns to Ditch the Labcoat to dig deeper into something medicine still doesn't talk about enough: what happens when your body creates real, debilitating symptoms but there's nothing structurally wrong.This isn't about imaginary illness or psychosomatic complaints. This is about the brain physically changing in response to stress, trauma, and unresolved emotional burdens, and manifesting those changes as chronic pain, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and dozens of other conditions that standard medical tests can't explain.Dr. Clarke walks through what neuroplastic treatment actually looks like. How he identifies patients whose symptoms stem from adverse childhood experiences, current stressors, or past traumas they've buried so deep they don't even recognize the connection. How he helps them see that their bodies are okay, their brains have just learned to create symptoms as a warning signal. And how, once that fear is removed and the real stressors are addressed, symptoms that have plagued people for years can resolve. Sometimes dramatically, sometimes over time with therapy.The conversation challenges everything medicine teaches about the link between pathology and symptoms. Why do ten people with identical "bone-on-bone" knee arthritis x-rays experience completely different levels of pain? Why do half of people over 40 have abnormal spine MRIs but no symptoms at all? Why do patients get told their spine is "abnormal" or they have Ehlers-Danlos or chronic Lyme when the real issue is unprocessed trauma from childhood?Dr. Clarke also addresses the system failures that keep neuroplastic treatment on the margins. Why physicians trained to think about organs and structures struggle to diagnose conditions rooted in the mind. Why patients resist the idea that their pain could be brain-generated, even when it's the only explanation that fits. And why collaborative care between medical doctors and trauma-informed mental health professionals is the most cost-effective intervention we're not using.If you've ever wondered why so many people have unexplained symptoms, why standard treatments fail them, or what actually works when medicine runs out of answers, this episode will reframe how you see chronic illness.Dr. Dave Clarke's Website:  https://www.symptomatic.me/Episode Takeaways1. Neuroplastic conditions are not imaginary. The brain has physically changed in response to stress or trauma, creating real symptoms in the body.2. Over 40% of people who present to primary care have medically unexplained symptoms, and at least a quarter to a third of adults experience neuroplastic conditions.3. More than half of people over age 40 have abnormal spine MRIs with zero symptoms, proving that structural abnormalities don't always correlate with pain.4. Pain reprocessing therapy starts with reassurance: your body is okay, you don't need to fear lifelong disability, and shifting attention from body to mind begins reducing symptoms.5. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are often subtle. Not just physical or sexual abuse, but emotional neglect, perfectionism, or growing up in chaotic households create lasting neuroplastic effects.6. The key to uncovering hidden trauma: ask patients to imagine their own child growing up exactly as they did. This reframe helps them see experiences they minimized as actually harmful.7. Collaborative care between medical doctors and trauma-informed mental health professionals produces the best outcomes and is highly cost-effective, reducing ER visits and healthcare utilization.8. Resources are now widely available: apps (Curable, Nirvana, Digestible, FreeMe), self-help books, the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (symptomatic.me), and trained providers worldwide.Episode Timestamps03:45 – What Neuroplastic Treatment Actually Looks Like07:09 – The Stress Evaluation: Finding the Link Between Trauma and Symptoms13:35 – How to Get Patients to Believe Their Brain Creates Physical Pain18:55 – Placebo, Nocebo, and Why Pain is Always Generated by the Brain24:46 – Conditions That Benefit from Neuroplastic Treatment29:35 – Why the System Still Doesn't Believe This36:53 – How to Uncover Hidden Childhood Trauma46:45 – Resources for People Who Can't Access Specialized CareDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

We continue with Part 3 (Part 2 was 19 Feb 2026 and Part 1 was 15 Jan 2026) of our study of open carry in America's Constitutional tradition by spending more time today with Baird v. Bonta (2 Jan 2026, 9th Circuit) from the top of page 27 (Roman Numeral II) through to the top of page 37 (up to Roman Numeral VI Letter D as in Boy just kidding D as in Cat). The pro-Second-Amendment opinions, both of them that we take a look at, were written by Republican appointees (Trump, with a Republican US Senate). We will pick up at page 37 and Roman Numeral VI letter D next time. https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2026/01/02/24-565.pdf Here's a link to the article I wrote 9 April 2020 for San Diego County Gun Owners, published on Gun Owner's Radio, that I entitled : "Two Types of Self-Defense" here. https://gunownersradio.com/two-types-of-self-defense/ This episode and this series is dedicated to the memory of my closest first cousin, Little Dan Mountain Jr, closest in age by just a couple of weeks, who died earlier this year in January.

Recently, Anna Moreland coauthored (with Thomas Smith) The Young Adult Playbook: Living Like it Matters. The book is specifically written for undergraduates and invites and guides them in vocational reflection and discernment. But for Anna, writing the book represented her own vocational shift. Anna is a professor of the humanities at Villanova University, where she also holds an endowed chair and directs the University Honors Program. While her academic expertise is in medieval theology and comparative theology, she has also become passionate about the character formation of her students. In this episode, we hear the story of this new passion and how it has led to different kinds of interactions with her students, the development of new courses, and the revamping of old courses. In it all, Anna shares her deep desire to help all young adults think about education, social engagements, and career aspirations in holistic and life-affirming ways.

Constitutional attorney Dean Broyles, president of the National Center for Law and Policy, joins me to continue untangling the legal battles reshaping how public schools handle gender identity — and what they mean for parents, teachers, and students.Picking up where we left off with Laura Powell in episode 207, Dean begins with a detailed breakdown of the Mirabelli v. Bonta case, which started in Escondido, California, when two Catholic teachers refused to comply with “gender secrets” policies requiring them to conceal a child's gender identity from parents. Dean walks us through Judge Bonita's landmark ruling, which found that California's parental exclusion policies create a “trifecta of harm” to children, parents, and teachers alike — and the March 2nd Supreme Court decision reinstating the statewide injunction squarely on the side of parental rights.We go deep on what these rulings mean in practice: the secret “shadow records” schools have been keeping on students' gender identities, the religious accommodation rights teachers can assert against California's coercive PRISM training, and the student free speech protections guaranteed by Tinker v. Des Moines. Dean explains the difference between a parent's right to be informed and a teacher's legal obligation — and where the courts are headed on whether parents can block social transition at school entirely.We also address the growing wave of detransition malpractice cases, including the Varian v. Einhorn verdict, and what a pending Supreme Court case could mean for therapists' freedom of speech in counseling. This is essential listening for parents, teachers, and mental health professionals navigating what Dean calls an Orwellian environment in today's public schools.Dean Broyles is a constitutional attorney who serves as the president of the National Center for Law & Policy. He is a free speech, religious freedom, and parental rights advocate with extensive experience involving sexual identity issues in the courts, culture, and public schools. Dean regularly files amicus briefs at the U.S. Supreme Court in landmark cases, provides legislative testimony, and advises mental health professionals. He lives in southern California and has been married to his wife, Shona, a public-school teacher, for 36 years. Dean is the father of four adopted children and two grandchildren.

Joining me today is Laura Powell, an attorney and founder of Californians for Good Governance, to break down one of the most important parents' rights cases in recent history: Mirabelli v. Bonta. We trace how California schools came to adopt policies that require staff to conceal a child's gender identity — including name and pronoun changes at school — from their own parents, and how a federal lawsuit has finally forced this issue all the way to the Supreme Court.Laura walks me through the legal history in California, from a 2014 state law that said nothing about parental secrecy to a decade of school districts acting as though it did. We discuss the December 2024 federal injunction, the Ninth Circuit's stay, and the landmark March 2025 Supreme Court opinion in which six justices made strong, unambiguous statements affirming that parents have a constitutional right to know how their children are being raised and educated.We also pull apart the arguments used to justify these secrecy policies — the abuse narrative, the suicide risk claim, and the "children's rights to privacy" framing — and show why none of them hold up to scrutiny. From a psychological standpoint, I weigh in on adolescent development, the dangers of idealization transfer, the secondary gain of trans identification, and why social transition is not a neutral intervention but the beginning of a pathway toward medicalization. We also talk practically about what parents can and should do — including why parents whose kids are already caught up in this ideology may want to be more strategic than parents who are still in a preventative position.Laura Powell is a mother, attorney, investigator, and founder of Californians for Good Governance, a nonpartisan group advocating for civil liberties and government accountability in California. Her work has gained national media coverage, been cited in federal investigations, and led to the repeal of an unconstitutional state law. A former leftist and registered Democrat, she left the party due to its shift away from classical liberal values and basic common sense.Links
