Self-storage might not be the first thing you think of when you hear "real estate investing," but it can open the door to a very different conversation about diversification, passive income, and long-term planning. Regina McCann Hess sits down with Corinn Altomare, co-founder of Hearthfire Holdings, to talk about passive self-storage investments, why some investors look beyond traditional stocks and bonds, and how income-producing assets can fit into bigger retirement conversations.

Hugh discusses the Senate filibuster, the rise of antisemitism, California governor candidate Xavier Becerra's KTLA interview, and talks with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Noah Rothman, Sarah Bedford, Jim Talent, Mary Katharine Ham, Sebastien Lai, and Eliana Johnson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Xavier Becerra's KTLA interview went off the rails before it even started — he tried to dictate the questions, then completely dismissed the 85,000 migrant children lost under his watch at HHS. When pressed with the New York Times' own reporting on kids forced into slaughterhouses and factories, Becerra shrugged it off saying they "needed to earn some money." Meanwhile, Alejandro Mayorkas refused to endorse his former cabinet colleague, and Democrats like Matt Mahan and Katie Porter are tearing each other apart as Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco position for a historic two-Republican general election in California.

In this explosive teaser episode of Undressed with Pol' and Patrik, we give listeners the first shocking look at the terrifying Hollywood road rage attack against us that has quickly made headlines across the globe. Just hours after the incident, we jump behind the microphones to share the raw, unfiltered teaser of what happened when an aggressive driver in a pickup truck confronted us on a Hollywood street while we were on our way to the Hollywood Museum. We were heading there to host a charity field trip for kids from Best Buddies International and students from Woodbury University, when the frightening confrontation suddenly unfolded. In this episode we reveal the actual 3.38-second video clip of the attacker screaming and pointing at our car, captured in the moment as the road rage situation escalated. The footage shows the driver shouting aggressively and making threatening gestures toward us in the middle of the intersection — a moment that quickly turned a normal morning drive into something that felt extremely dangerous. We explain how the encounter unfolded in seconds, why we immediately started filming, and how our focus quickly shifted to documenting the vehicle and identifying the license plate as the driver sped away. The disturbing clip quickly spread across television, digital media, and social platforms worldwide, appearing on major outlets including KTLA, ABC7 Los Angeles, Fox 11 Los Angeles, Inside Edition and the New York Post, bringing global attention to the frightening moment we encountered. Episode 117 serves as a breaking-news style teaser, sharing the footage and the immediate aftermath as we begin the mission to track down the license plate and identify the attacker. In Episode 118 we sit down for the full emotional conversation — revealing everything we experienced before, during, and after the attack, how the situation escalated, and the deeper personal impact of the terrifying encounter.

While it's not for him, this game sure was a doozy. Did you know? Mark Thompson chooses his casinos based on how clean the men’s room is. He may be a betting man, but he doesn’t play when it comes to his tinkling. This one’s for the smarty-pants listeners: Please, for God’s sake, do more TalkBacks. And now one for the dumb-dumbs: Timmy likes your TalkBacks much better, keep it up.

Recently fired KTLA reporter Ellina Abovian joined us in-studio today to tell the story of how she was fired without notice on her 40th birthday after 11 years on the air. She's talented, smart, she's a hardworking single mom and speaks four languages. She also happens to be very attractive, which means we made complete fools of ourselves. You can listen, but we recommend you WATCH it on YouTube. We continued our March Madness brackets by nominated worst people at the pool, in honor of this week's heat wave. Top contenders included snot rocket guy, kids in the hot tub, the PDA couple, and the person who pees in the pool (aka Ally). Jake did another round of Pit Stop interviews, which led to a new idea: Swamp Ass or Pass. Would you like Jake to go around LA sniffing butts instead of pitts? Thought so! Ally also tried to give 'the talk' to her four year old son in response to Klein's talk with his daughter. As expected, it didn't go well.
Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (3.16) Recollections from Mark of his heady days working in the paradise that is... Buffalo, New York! Meanwhile, vehicles in Hollywood were being towed due to Academy Award street closures. But half a mile from Dolby Theatre? That seems a little excessive and restrictive. And not very neighborly. There's a bear in there! That is, in the KTLA news report, when the black bear snuck up on the field reporter Erin Myers as she was filming a piece... on a bear attack. Luckily, no newscasters were harmed in the making of this report. Talking tragedy with Timmy! He recalls the time when he was six months old and received a blood transfusion, with a 50-50 chance of survival. Thank heavens for the invention of the ultrasound! Tim lived long enough to see his good friend Mark Thompson receive a YouTube show. We get down with some Charlie Fox tunes to round out the hour — and what tunes they are! Also, why is Jane Fonda beefing with Barbra Streisand, and what’s it got to do with Robert Redford? As the heat is rising, the snowpack is melting and causing a premature end to the Cali snow season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph spends the whole hour with progressive activist, Corbin Trent, former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to discuss the lack of vision and the spineless leadership in the corporate Democratic Party.Corbin Trent is a co-founder of Brand New Congress and former co-director of Justice Democrats, two grassroots organizations working to elect progressive Democrats to Congress. He was the National Campaign Coordinator for the Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign, and recently served as the Communications Director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He writes about rebuilding America at AmericasUndoing.com.This is a [Democratic] Party that is led by sinecurists and apparatchiks who never look at themselves in the mirror after they lose to the most vicious, cruel, ignorant, anti-worker, anti-women, anti-environment, anti-small taxpayer, pro-war Republican Party. They never look into it. It's always: they blame the Greens or they blame some third party or Independent candidate. And they never ask themselves why as a national party did they abandon half the country, which are now called red states?Ralph NaderThe Democratic Party I think, ultimately, is leaderless because it's visionless. It doesn't really see. I don't think the Democratic Party as an entity or as an ideology has a real vision for how to go forward differently. And, therefore, it's hard to be led. It's hard to lead if you don't have a direction.Corbin TrentThe Democratic Party—like your Chuck Schumers, like your Hakeem Jeffries, and like most of the people that are elected there and in leadership positions at all, look at this system, the system of neoliberalism, and they think that somehow it's going to magically start working again. And the fact is that it's not. They have been unable so far to internalize the depth of the brokenness of this system. And then really unable to, I think, really internalize why Trump was powerful, why his messages were powerful. They want to look at it through this extremely narrow and negative lens of racism, bigotry and fear. As opposed to a complete and utter disdain for the system which is sucking from their lives and extracting from their communities. And I think that spells trouble.Corbin TrentIt's not my job as a voter to inspire myself to vote for you. It's your job as a candidate or as a party or as somebody to build a vision that inspires me to vote.Corbin TrentNews 3/13/26* This week, the New York City Council held a hearing on proposed legislation to carry out Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pledge to repossess property from “landlords who have racked up housing code violations and debt from unpaid taxes and fines.” This bill would empower the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development to turn these buildings over to owners they deem “more responsible.” This would be an update of a program the city has tried to implement before, called “third-party transfer.” However, the council is hesitant to take this step, worrying that it could disproportionately affect small landlords that simply lack the resources to fix code violations or pay fees, as opposed to venture capital backed corporate landlords. Rosa Kelly, chief of staff to the housing commissioner, said the department “views the program as a key part of [their] broader enforcement and preservation toolkit to ensure that housing remains safe and livable for New Yorkers.” This from Gothamist.* In more local news, this week Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released a long-awaited report on congestion traffic pricing in the District of Columbia. According to the Washington Examiner, the study was conducted in 2021 and the Mayor has delayed the release until now. Along with the release of the study, Mayor Bowser sent a letter to D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, wherein the Mayor described the “congestion pricing tax scheme,” which includes a proposed $10 charge for people entering the city, as a “bad idea,” and argued that D.C. could not be compared to Midtown Manhattan, which recently implemented a successful congestion pricing system. Democratic Socialist Councilwoman and leading Mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis-George refused to dismiss the study out of hand, writing “Now that the report is public, the Council has an opportunity to dig into the findings & explore what they could mean for the District—including opportunities to reduce congestion, improve air quality & public health, & strengthen public transit for residents across the city.”* Meanwhile, on the West Coast, a new poll shows incumbent Mayor Karen Bass drawing under 20% of the vote in the upcoming primary for her reelection campaign. While this still puts Bass in the lead, it is clearly a weak showing and would be far below the 50% threshold she would need to win to avoid a November runoff. This poll also finds former reality television star Spencer Pratt in second place with around 10% support, and councilmember Nithya Raman – who has been both endorsed and censured by DSA LA in the past – in third with just over 9%, per KTLA. The LA Mayoral race mirrors the California gubernatorial race, which features ten candidates, none of whom draws over 20% in the polls. At some point, the party will have to step in to pressure underperforming candidates to drop out and endorse more viable alternatives, but June is quickly approaching with little sign of party unity.* Speaking of the Democrats, POLITICO is out with a new story on how red state Democratic parties are undermining their best chances of toppling incumbent Republican Senators – independent populist left candidates. In Montana, former University of Montana President Seth Bodnar has launched an independent bid for Senate, with the backing of former longtime Montana Democratic Senator Jon Tester. Bodnar filed on the final day candidates could get on the ballot in the state, and on that same day, three-term incumbent Republican Senator Steve Daines announced he would not run for reelection. POLITICO describes this as “an explicit effort to keep Democrats from fielding a strong candidate of their own.” The state party however shows no interest in stepping aside to clear a path for Bodnar. A similar dynamic is unfolding in South Dakota, with the state party feuding with independent candidate Brian Bengs – who has “raised more than five times his Democratic opponent and more than any non-Republican candidate in the state in 16 years” – while in Idaho, former Democratic state lawmaker Todd Achilles is running as an independent and the state party has played their strategy close to the vest. Only in Nebraska has the state party fully thrown their weight behind the popular independent candidate Dan Osborn, who came within approximately 60,000 votes of longtime incumbent Deb Fischer in 2024 and is polling within a single point of Senator Pete Ricketts this cycle.* In Congress, Republicans have independent problems of their own. Last week, Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley announced he would register as “no party preference,” instead of as a Republican, as he seeks reelection to Congress in his newly redrawn California congressional district. Axios quotes a Kiley spokesperson who said it is “not official yet” whether he will leave the party or the conference, adding: “For now, he's just filing as an independent for his reelection campaign.” If Kiley did leave the Republican conference, it would further imperil the Republicans' razor-thin House majority, which has been continuously whittled down over the course of the 119th Congress.* Turning to foreign affairs, Reuters reports that on Sunday, Colombia held congressional elections which saw the leftist Historic Pact win the most seats in the Senate, but with only 25 out of 102 seats, the Pact will have to compete against the right-wing Democratic Center in order to form a coalition government. Democratic Center, led by former President Alvaro Uribe, won 17 seats. Ivan Cepeda, the presidential candidate of Historic Pact, called the election results a “categorical victory.” In the House, Democratic Center won 32 out of 182 seats, followed by the Liberal Party with 31, and the Historic Pact with 29. Colombia will choose a new president in May, but according to Ariel Avila, a re-elected senator from the Green Alliance, whether that president is left or right they will likely face a “vetocracy” where “lawmakers block parties simply because they come from the opposing side.”* In more news from Latin America, the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) reports the right-wing government of Daniel Noboa in Ecuador has suspended the largest opposition party – the leftist Citizens' Revolution or RC – for nine months. If carried out, RC, led by former leftist president Rafael Correa, will effectively be barred from registering candidates for the 2027 local elections. CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot is quoted saying “The government of President Daniel Noboa, who is strongly backed by President Trump, is trying to accelerate the destruction of what is left of democracy in Ecuador.” CEPR Director of International Policy Alex Main added “Democracy has been under attack since the presidency of Lenín Moreno (2017–2021), with not only the exclusion of political parties, but with persecution by lawfare, the imprisonment or forced exile of political opponents, and Noboa's repeated assumption of ‘emergency' powers and other abuses that have gutted civil liberties.” Recently, President Noboa has been closely collaborating with Trump and the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) to carry out joint “lethal kinetic operations” in Ecuador.* Turning to the Middle East, NBC reports Iran is launching its ‘most intense' strikes of the war, firing some of its most advanced ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Haifa and attacking multiple ships attempting passage through the blockaded Straits of Hormuz. Additionally, reports are trickling out through the Israeli press, which operates under military censorship, about high-profile targets being hit inside the country. The Jewish Chronicle confirms Binyah Hevron, son of Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich was wounded by a Hezbollah rocket, with shrapnel penetrating his back and abdomen, while Yahoo News has debunked rumors that an Iranian missile strike killed Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Officially, over 1,200 have been killed by Israeli and American strikes in Iran, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, while 570 have been killed in Lebanon. Retlatiatory strikes by Iran have killed 13 in Israel.* Meanwhile, a new wrinkle has emerged in the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery deal. Last week, Variety reported that Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have been raising the alarm about financing for this deal coming from Gulf states, including the Qatar Investment Authority, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This duo have called for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States – an interagency body that reviews foreign investments in American businesses for potential national security risks – to review the deal. Warren told the industry trade publication, “Given the cloud of corruption surrounding the Trump administration's review of this deal from Day One, it's no surprise that Trump's Treasury Department is sticking its head in the sand instead of investigating the national security risks of $24 billion from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds apparently flooding this deal. It's American consumers who will pay the price. Thanks to Donald Trump, a Paramount-Warner Bros. merger could mean higher prices and fewer choices, and might allow foreign actors to control what's on our screens or access our private viewing information.” Ironically, the Trump administration's warlike actions in Iran may have inadvertently solved this problem. Gizmodo reports that the Gulf states are now “reviewing current and future investment commitments in order to alleviate some of the anticipated economic strain from the current war.” It is unclear what would happen if the Gulf states rescinded their financing of this deal, seeing as Paramount is the buyer preferred by the Trump administration and has already paid the $2.8 billion “break-up” fee to Netflix stipulated by their previous agreement with WBD.* Finally, a new Pew poll reveals a troubling reality of contemporary American life. According to the poll, which asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country, 53% of U.S. adults say their fellow Americans have bad morals and ethics. While that may not sound so stark, Pew notes that the United States is the only country they surveyed where more adults described the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad rather than good, with only 47% saying the latter. Turkey came up second, with 51% saying good and 49% saying bad. Pew is careful to state that they have never conducted a poll on this question before, meaning they cannot say whether this is a reflection of long-held beliefs among Americans or a new phenomenon, but it could be the result of long-term trends related to political polarization and the decline in interpersonal trust over the past several decades. Whatever the reasons behind this fact, it presents a formidable problem for political leaders. How can one unify a country wherein the people do not trust one another or even believe that their neighbors are morally and ethically upstanding individuals? Surely there must be a way forward, but what that is I cannot say.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
