Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, California has aspired to be a national haven for abortion rights. But the reality is more complicated. Catholic hospitals in the state are refusing emergency care for miscarriages, major retailers have refused to stock abortion medications and federal lawsuits are targeting California doctors and pharmacies. We'll talk about the cases reshaping reproductive healthcare and their potential impacts on both Californians and the nation.

A new analysis of the One Big Beautiful Law reveals a $3700 tax cut per American, no matter where you live or how much you make. Remember: EVERY SINGLE democrat voted down the bill that avoids a significant tax hike for 62% of the country. WHY? Ed Martin says anyone connected to the J6 Committee sham show should watch their mailboxes for investigative notices. Gavin Newsom's threat to redistrict California in opposition to Texas is wildly unpopular among Californians. Plus why Saul Alinsky's book Rules For Radicals explains the progressive implosion of the democrat party.

Shutting off the electricity to prevent wildfires is becoming the new normal in some west coast states, leaving thousands living through extreme heat without air conditioning or medical devices. Now, policies allowing this to happen are coming to B.C., Alberta and possibly other parts of Canada. We hear from people who say this could put their lives at risk, and get some advice on how to cope.

In this episode of the California Underground Podcast, host Phil discusses several pressing issues in California politics, including the controversial AB 495 bill aimed at child safety, Gavin Newsom's redistricting efforts, and Sacramento's spending on tiny homes for the homeless.

A city that can't manage its own affairs was always bound for trouble in hosting the 2028 Olympics, and now President Trump has given progressives the excuse they need to bail out. California's redistricting process was never nonpartisan, now it'll just be worse. Newsom is ready for coal, Sacramento State's president hopes to “eliminate whiteness,” the Los Angeles Times can't use the words “illegal immigrant,” and the fascinating secret of Pasadena-born celebrity chef Julia Child.

The Republican spending bill signed into law by President Trump last month slashes an estimated $150 billion in federal Medicaid funding to California over the next 10 years. Nearly 40% percent of Californians rely on Medi-Cal for health coverage, and now millions are expected to fall off the rolls. That's leaving medical providers bracing for impacts, especially in places already struggling to serve all who need care.

Today, we're going to investigate the truth about avocados, avocado oil, and your health. When avocados arrive at the grocery store, they're often put into a gas chamber and artificially ripened with ethylene gas. The artificial ripening process leaves this superfood devoid of phytonutrients. One research study evaluated 22 different brands of avocado oil and discovered that many products were oxidized, which can cause inflammation. Surprisingly, many products were actually fake avocado oil, mainly composed of soy and canola oils.Approximately 82% of avocado oil is not what it says it is! In the US, there are no official rules on avocado oil or a legally binding definition of the avocado oil extraction process. This has opened the door for corruption.Some avocado oil products contain no avocado oil at all! The origins of your avocado oil can also be misleading. A product can be labeled “product of the US”, but grown and blended elsewhere, as long as the final product is bottled in the US. Avocado oil doesn't always have an expiration or production date, making it difficult to determine how long it's been sitting on the shelf.Fast food guacamole does not contain much avocado. It's often replaced with green peas, hydrogenated oils, and food starches. Cosmetics also claim to use avocado oil, yet soy, palm, and mineral oils are usually listed first on the ingredient list. If you want to buy avocado oil, look for the following:•Dark, glass bottle •Expiration date •Avoid the cheapest brand•Look for the harvest date•Look for green-colored oilWhen choosing avocados, look for Californian varieties, such as the Hass variety. Avoid the cheaper, shiny, bagged varieties. Avocados can be an incredibly healthy food if you choose the right ones. They contain healthy fats, minimal omega-6 fats, and are a rich source of potassium and magnesium.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In the past few years, videos from a new kind of camp have begun circulating the internet. They feature men participating in a variety of bizarre activities: from aggressively digging holes under floodlights, to collectively wailing in a pool of water. These are man camps, where men can pay up to $18,000 to undergo extreme boot-camp-like conditioning in the name of reclaiming their masculinity. This week on Endless Thread, host Ben Brock Johnson and senior producer Dean Russell, dive into the past, present and future of man camps.

“Would you donate your pet to a zoo… if it meant feeding a lion?”In this wild and wide-ranging episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew covers everything from Austin's music scene to Denmark's controversial zoo practices. Sandy kicks things off with a moment of self-reflection—feeling out of touch after missing a sold-out show at Antone's by Austin music legend Adrian Quesada. JB drops some serious music knowledge, tracing Quesada's journey from Grupo Fantasma to Black Pumas. Then, Tricia reveals a surprising trend: Houston is quickly becoming a top destination for Californians fleeing high costs. The crew debates why Houston's appeal is rising, from business-friendly policies to cheaper housing—even if the zoning laws feel like the Wild West. But the most jaw-dropping moment comes from Denmark's Aalborg Zoo, which is asking citizens to donate healthy pets to feed apex predators. Yes, really. The team reacts with shock, sarcasm, and a few dark jokes about guinea pig genocide and small horses on the menu. Key Moments:

We got a couple of world-class curmudgeons here - who share more than might meet the ear initially: two native Californians renown for their curdled opinion of the world they inhabit, and the populace with whom they share the space; We're talking Hollywood, specifically, but their bile was generous enough to accommodate the whole of humanity - in all its corrupt, hypocritical manifestations; both lost too early - victims of cancer's cruelty; both musical geniuses with solid classical training and rock n roll credentials; and, funny? Goddamn right, they were!Frank Zappa and Warren Zevon, two outlaws who could not be silenced or ignored are being celebrated here today. It should be noted that Frank was inducted posthumously into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame; Warren is still owed his due. FRANK ZAPPAThe man loved freaks, and had to create his own label to promote them. From the time he appeared on the Steve Allen show in the early 60's, playing the bicycle, to the early 90's, when he visited Czech Republic as an honored guest to the President, playwright-turned politician, Vaclav Havel after their Velvet Revolution, and throughout his vociferous fight against censorship in the halls of our Congress, Frank always stood strong for freedom of expression, and against hypocrisy.In “Plastic People” from his second album ABSOLUTELY FREE, you can hear so many elements mixed together that have become tropes: the abrupt changes in tempo and mood, the stinging social satire, the weird orchestration, the rock n roll name checks…. Good stuff!WARREN ZEVONWe always knew that Warren was tortured by demons. He struggled with his alcoholism for a long time and was subject to depression. But, despite it all he kept his unique humorous perspective. And, with a prodigious gift for melody, he wrote some of pop's most haunting ballads. He was, to borrow the words of Kris Kristofferson, a “walking contradiction” who could go to the darkest of dark sides, like in his rockers about serial killers, such as Excitable Boy and Werewolves of London - then, swing 180 degrees to express wrenching heartbreak in such timeless elegies as Hasten Down the Wind and Carmelita.In Splendid Isolation you get both - the swinging of the hips, and the stinging of the poisoned barb. It has an autobiographical persuasion which illuminates the soul of a man who longs to be left alone - the world is just too fucked up to navigate. There's a bitter sadness articulated, but its flavored with that ever-present Zevon wit. 

Governor Gavin Newsom is proposing a November 4, 2025 special election to let Californians vote on new congressional maps. The move responds to Texas’s GOP-led redistricting, aiming to counterbalance Republican gains. Newsom insists the process will be transparent and temporary, preserving California’s independent redistricting commission for future cycles.

A major victory for gun rights advocates: California's controversial 2016 ammunition law has just been ruled unconstitutional by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Effective immediately, millions of Californians can buy ammunition without background checks or extra fees.Passed as Proposition 63, the law required a background check for every ammo purchase—until now. This landmark decision could have massive implications for gun legislation nationwide.

California's unconstitutional 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition is devastating gun stores across the state and pricing out law-abiding citizens from their Second Amendment rights. Jake from The Firing Line in Clovis reveals how his business saw an immediate 50-60% drop in sales when the tax took effect, and why this is really a poll tax on constitutional rights.

This episode features my conversation with Tom Sherwood, the owner and winemaker of BXT Wines in California. BXT is an exploration of Californian viticulture through the lens of traditionally made sparkling wine. The idea of “Bubbles by Tom“ (BXT) is to take a grower-Champagne mentality and apply it to hand-crafted sparkling wines from grapes grown throughout California, and Tom seeks out interesting vineyard sites to work with for producing his small batches of these wines. He started this project in 2018 inspired by grower Champagne, but he grew up in Australia where he says he stumbled into wine making when he attended Adelaide University and studied Viticulture and Enology. He not only discovered a love for this career but he also me his now wife, Britt, who also works in the wine industry as the Director of Winemaking for Lawrence Wine Estates in Napa, CA. Tom was not afraid to get a little nerdy while talking about the details of his grape growing and winemaking practices, and you'll appreciate his transparency during our discussion about wine pricing and the state of the market for domestic sparkling wine.

Las Vegans love to complain about the heat (duh), the traffic, and … Californians. Californians moving to Vegas have nearly twice the income of Nevadans moving within the state — with locals bearing the brunt of our affordable housing crisis, it's easy to feel resentful.

Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman, along with Nevada Current journalist Michael MJ Lyle and poet Vogue Robinson have a lively conversation about the contours of our frustration with Cali transplants and how much of it is actually fair.

On today's episode, we first discuss Katie Porter's latest campaign email, which contains a not-so-shocking revelation: Steve's lead in the polls. If this proves anything, it's that Californians are sick and tired of Democrat's one-party rule. Then, it seems Gavin Newsom wants to follow Gregg Abbott and redistrict California, even though our State Constitution doesn't allow it. Jen Horn joins the show to discuss Newsom's desire for political gain and how Democrat policies have forced the President of In N Out to flee California.

Gavin Newsom just declared California will soon release a just “COVID Response Review” of California’s handling of the pandemic — and he’s arrogantly boasting that it will include “the good and the bad.” The good? What good? This is the same governor who locked down churches, shut down schools, crushed small businesses, and kept Californians masked and afraid while he wined and dined at the French Laundry. This episode of "Stinchfield" exposes the shameless attempt to rewrite history and spin tyranny into virtue. We dig into the real legacy of Newsom’s COVID response: destruction, hypocrisy, and government overreach. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny.

Periodically on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we share a SPOTLIGHT conversation and feature brief chats with an individual or a group from the community about a special topic or a unique endeavor. I grew up in a Marathi American household and even as a born and raised Californian, there was a lot of attention at my house to Marathi film and cinema.  So much that the idea of watching Tukaram, Ram Shastri, Simhasan, or Umbartha were not foreign to me as a 12 year old. Marathi cinema is the oldest film industry in India and from Dadasaheb Phalke making the first full feature length movie more than 100 years ago to Prabhat films all the way to 2016's Sairat,, you can directly connect the dots from this rich legacy to every corner of India's film industry today.So on this SPOTLIGHT episode of Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing, and yes, I'm aware of the mild irony of this, नमस्कार आणि आपल्य सर्वांचा स्वागत करतो. आणि नेहमीप्रमाणे, आज आपण या मुलाखतीत  अंग्रेजित बोलणार आहोत! So, let's focus on how this Marathi film legacy is undergoing a contemporary revival at the intersection of art, business, and community, through the North American Film Association (NAFA) and its founder, Abhi Gholap. As a serial entrepreneur, investor, and passionate Marathi film enthusiast, Abhi has personified that bridging of tradition and today's film landscape, and is the convener of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival in San Jose. Notably, he is the producer of the acclaimed award-winning 2011 film Deool, a movie that not only achieved commercial and critical success but also underscored the social impact and artistic power of Marathi storytelling. His experience with Deool shaped his unique approach to filmmaking, blending an entrepreneurial drive with a keen sensitivity to meaningful, community-centered stories. And now with the non-profit NAFA, and the focused  lens of the upcoming 2025 North American Film Festival, it was great to explore how Abhi and NAFA are creating new opportunities—connecting local voices with international platforms and using film as a common language of inclusion and growth. The mission of NAFA is pretty simple - to advance the Marathi film ecosystem through collaborative efforts in production, distribution, and film festivals, and I've personally found that for any group, a spirit of inclusion and priority to strong storytelling is one that builds sustainable connection and emotional endurance.So, as we sat for a conversation, and after a brief Marathi introduction that you can see on the Youtube version of the podcast,  I was actually thinking of how people get introduced to movies when they're young and so I asked Abhi if he could reflect on some of his own first Marathi movie experiences and memories… Please learn more about the 2025 NAFA Film Festival (July 25-27, 2025 in San Jose).

We won't use that old Mark Twain quote (that he probably never wrote anyway) but fighting over water has been California's favorite pastime for at least 175 years. If you think norcal/socal baseball rivalries are bitter - try the socal vs. Delta water wars. One of the people tasked with managing that aqua drama is Jennifer Pierre, General Manager for the State Water Contractors  – a statewide, non-profit association of the public water agencies that contract with the Department of Water Resources to receive water from the State Water Project. The SWP provides water for 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland.  A UC Davis alumna with a bachelor's in environmental biology and conservation, Pierre has 20 years of experience in Delta management and uses that experience to help improve water supply and operations for the SWC. She joined us to talk about challenges of climate change, issues from overpumping groundwater, and if DC and and California can make nice on Water Policy.1:01 Capitol Weekly Insiders Survey1:58 Dominique Donette2:58 AI podcasts3:33 Top 100 Party6:04 Jennifer Pierre7:30 Water in the California Budget8:53 "Housing doesn't happen without water"9:41 Background12:53 Managing Climate Change: Hydrology13:41 Subsidence: "We've got a major problem on our hands"16:59 Status of DC vs. California water fights20:04 Playing peacemaker among different stakeholders22:43 Prop. 4 implementation26:30 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom seems to be more interested in podcasting, siding with protesters, and pointing fingers at the Trump administration than actually fixing the problems in his state. Newsom's record long record of failure is evident in the was California is spiraling out of control: a crumbling infrastructure, surging poverty, and broken immigration enforcement. Victor Davis Hanson has a message for Gavin Newsom on why his priorities are not only out of touch—but dangerous—on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He's now inserted himself into the ICE deportations crisis in California and siding with the protesters that are trying to obstruct ICE. And he has a very incoherent position. … I guess the supposition is that Gavin thought it was quite moral for 12 million people to break the law, but it's quite amoral for somebody to try to rectify the situation and enforce the law. “ You look at a state that is in complete free fall, it is a catastrophe, and rather than addressing transportation, energy, poverty, housing, gasoline, what are you doing? You're campaigning for president. And you're in Twitter wars with the president of the United States. And you're defending the catastrophic governance in Los Angeles. And you're trying to impede the enforcement of a law that if it was enforced, you would be the biggest beneficiary.”

Water conservation is a constant challenge for Californians, but according to the New York Times's Michael Kimmelman, there's one city that's doing it right: Los Angeles.

We talk with Kimmelman and California water officials about the strategies L.A. is using and what other states can learn from its example.

It's been a week since President Donald Trump signed the budget reconciliation bill into law, and California officials are still reviewing how this legislation will impact Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program for low-income residents, which covers 15 million Californians. Governor Gavin Newsom's office estimates that Medi-Cal could lose billions of federal dollars over the next few years, and on social media, folks on Medi-Cal are worried that they could lose their coverage soon.

President Trump on Friday signed into law a massive tax and spending package: the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which delivers sweeping tax breaks for the wealthy while slashing social safety net programs. It cuts nearly $30 billion in Medicaid funding to California, defunds wildfire prevention and, according to Governor Gavin Newsom's office, puts hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state at risk. The legislation also directs at least $170 billion to immigration detention and border security. Meanwhile, deficit watchers worry about its fiscal impacts. We'll break down what this bill means for healthcare, immigration, education and everyday Californians like you.
