Every Wednesday morning I go live on Instagram to discuss California Politics...with coffee.  This week we discussed why Republicans need to stop being speed bumps to the Democratic agenda and begin to take bold positions that they can stand behind.  Also discussed, how the Attorney General misconstrues the truth on proposition titles to trick voters, and the rising crime in California.  Follow California Underground on Social Media Instagram: www.instagram.com/californiaunderground YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj8SabIcF4AKqEVFsLmo1jA California Underground Merchandise: https://california-underground.creator-spring.com Shop California Underground Merchandise: https://california-underground.creator-spring.com Phil is a San Diego based attorney who specializes in criminal defense and constitutional law both under the US and California Constitution.

On this episode I am joined once again by Natalie Beisner to discuss several topics going on in California right now.  First, we talk about the OMG Schmariant arriving in California and what it means for the country. Are lockdowns on the way? Will the government continue to crack down even tighter? Or will it burn out like Delta did? In Los Angeles City, they have rolled out what is called a LA Safe Pass program where you must show proof of vaccination to enter many businesses. However, the City Council voted unanimously that shopping malls are exempt from this, because of...well science I guess.  Finally we discuss Noodles' latest French Laundry gaffe, where he allegedly spent $200,000 for a week stay in Cabo. Who paid for it? How does a public servant have this much money to spend on one vacation?

On this episode we dive into the book "Don't Think of An Elephant" by George Lakoff.  The book was written to educated progressives about how to frame arguments and win over voters, but the lessons are certainly applicable here in California.  If you want to defeat the enemy, sometimes you have to use their own language techniques against them.  Support the California Underground Platform by going to www.patreon.com/californiaunderground Follow California Underground on Social Media Instagram: www.instagram.com/californiaunderground YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj8SabIcF4AKqEVFsLmo1jA Shop California Underground Merchandise: https://california-underground.creator-spring.com Phil is a San Diego based attorney who specializes in constitutional law both under the US and California Constitution.  Review the Anchor.Fm Privacy Policy: Anchor - The easiest way to make a podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/californiaunderground/message
