Is Prop 36 -- the most talked about proposition on the ballot -- a return to an era of law and order? or a backslide to an era of mass incarceration?

How does social media resemble "The Twilight Zone?"

Gatto & Q recount how Michael coolly and bluntly spilled the beans on the Cosa Nostra involvement in the assassination of John F.

In this episode, Q and Mike talk about the big Hollywood weekend of Oppenheimer and The Barbie Movie.   Q is excited because at least it isn't another “franchise weekend” while Mike relates that virtually ALL Hollywood storytelling comes from intellectual property instead of original ideas. Movies are no longer based on artistic merit but only Moneyball metric-based content and it's pretty much all crap.Welcome to Cutting Though from the Quintana Network.

Fentanyl is a poison and a scourge in California and the only solution the Assembly Committee on Public Safety can see is to (drum roll) throw  money at it.  Here's the problem with that: once people and organizations start to get money to solve a problem they don't want to actually solve the problem because then the money river will dry up.   Q and Mike have seen this with homelessness, affordable housing, and countless other “good causes - and sadly suspect the same thing will happen with fentanyl.Welcome to Cutting Though from the Quintana Network.

Are the Democrats headed for a 1968 Convention problem? Mike and Q review the latest in the current presidential race by looking back at 1968 when the incumbent dropped from the race only months before the convention and the chaos that ensued. Mike only gives it a 25% max chance that President Biden doesn't run, but if he doesn't and waits too late to announce - history could be revisited. In March of 1968, LBJ blindsided his staff, party, and the country by announcing that he wouldn't seek reelection months before the Democratic party nominating convention in Chicago. Because it was so late in the process it caused chaos and riots in/at the convention and the Dems ended up handing the Oval Office to Richard Nixon. Q and Mike hope Joe Biden doesn't make the same mistake. - Welcome to Cutting Though from the Quintana Network.

Are we alone in the universe? Have aliens visited the Earth? Is the government hiding it all from us? Q and Mike talk about the testimony of David Grush, a former intelligence officer, who claims his old unit had 12 alien spaceships. Well, Mike calls BS! As always, he gives his three rational reasons. Stick around for more about UFOs, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster.

CA's biggest cities are losing major retail, streets are packed with tents for the homeless, large retailers will not enforce theft crimes and small retailers have given up on operating all over - how did we get here!? Mike and Q discuss how Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhood and School Act, was anything but safe for California as it drastically lessened penalties for many crimes like shoplifting which created a cavalcade of lawlessness through CA.

The brothers Kabateck square off hard in this episode as they posture for their  respective political parties with supporting arguments.  You'll hear more jabs than in any other episode as it gets a little personal here.  Once the dust settles, former Assembly Member, Mike Gatto mediates and moderates the discussion with his own unique perspective and concern for not only the well being of a bi-partisan democracy but for the well being of the Democratic party as well.  It's not all rosy on the side of either party and the Democrats  in California have a lot of work to do since what ails the state, can only be blamed on the supermajority in leadership.  There really are no Republicans of significance in the grand scheme of state legislature.  So who's to blame???
